can someone explain to me how to push an apk using root explorer?
i cant seem to figure it out...
thanks
Are you replacing a system app that is built into the ROM? If so, the way I do it is

  1. Go to System/App
  2. Find the apk you want to replace, long click and click on permissions. Take a note of what the permissions are set as
  3. Rename the apk you're replacing with .bak at the end (it's just a backup!)
  4. Paste the new .apk into the folder
  5. Set the permissions identically to the way it was before
  6. Reboot your phone. Done.

If you're trying to put it in /system/app (for example) from your sdcard, find it on sdcard, long press and choose copy. Then use the ".." folder at the top of root explorer to go back to the "/" (root) directory. Select "system" then "app" and touch the "Mount R/W" button. Then choose "paste". Lastly find the apk you pasted in /system/app, long press it and choose "Permissions". Make them look like this and reboot:

--------Read Write Execute
User:-----X-----X
Group:----X
Others:---X

WhiteBandito beat me to it!
