How do I move an .apk file and widget to Root

[mslisaj]

I want to put in a removed application which is an .apk file back into the system/apps folder. I have it on the SD root directory with root explorer I would like to put it back where it belongs. How do I do that. As I mentioned I have the root explorer program but I can't seem to cut and paste it from the SD card back to the root directory.

I personally have never done it with root explorer. I have always just used adb to push/pull. To do it this way, (assuming you have the sdk installed and have basic understanding of adb) navigate to your sdk/tools folder then do the following:

Put the apk you want to push to your phone in the sdk/tools folder.
Open up command prompt and cd to your sdk/tools directory
Then do the following commands:

adb remount
adb push replacewithnameofapk.apk /system/app/replacewithnameofapk.apk

Make sure you have the name correct as it is case sensitive.

I did finally figure it out. You can just cut and paste with Root Explorer. I just had to click r/w and it worked. But thanks for the command line commands as I'm learning that too.

I appreciate the help and training......
