Yep, ROM Manager can do it from within the app. Also search for 'fix permissions' in Play store.

If you are rooted than install rom toolbox lite from playstore, in app manager select all application and than select fix permission. u r done,

I just want to fix permissions for all apps in the system/app folder though. Not one by one lol.. :/

Fixing system permissions doesn't do anything useful, that's why it was removed from CWM.

Stock Thinkfree office

My P500 came stock with Thinkfree office, but I sorta miss it after flashing newer ROMs.
Does anyone have the apk for this? (Is it legit to ask for this?)
If it's not, then reccos for a free/cheap app are welcome
Thanks.
here it is...
Thanks a bunch man, trying it out now.

I installed the apk, but when I try to update, it forces close!
Any idea as to what can be done ?
Thanks
install it as a system app then you can update
Updated APK attached. (Ver 2.0.110222 from the lgeglobal trunk)
Having the same Update FC issues in custom roms, I updated it from the stock rom before porting it over. Install as system app.
Disclaimer: This isn't from the market trunk and the License Verfication is not circumvented, so technically it should only work with LG phones that have it preinstalled (verified via phone IMEI). However if mods consider this a ware and against forum rules, feel free to delete it. It is not my intention to pirate or distribute illegally.

You have tried 2 root browsers already, I use ROM toolbox which is also a root browser with many other functions built in. Its the best app of its kind that I have used. If it doesn't find the files, then you can you can un install it.
Its a root browser for exploring root files.

Putting it into data/app installs is, fixing permissions is just so it will show in the app drawer
Make sure you have Security => Unknown Apps checked and Verify Apps unchecked
Apps install fine for me by clicking an .apk
Use Root Explorer or ES File Manager, it's probably the MY Files preventing it.

Hi,
Go to the market and get "FX File Explorer" + root
Navigate to system/app
Unlock the padlock at the top of the page.
Paste the Gallery app into the folder.
Save.
Reboot

then reboot
Hi guys!
I'm bumping an ancient thread here, hope that's okay with you.
I have this old S4+ lying around. I love it's Gallery app due to the built-in possibility to losslessly trim MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) videos by cutting to nearest keyframe, and also lossless rotation by changing the rotation metadata flag of the MP4 file in question. This simple feature is not implemented in "modern" Gallery apps, or well at least not in the OnePlus 5T I'm using today. So, I was thinking I could extract the .APK from my S4+ (running Android 5.x) and put it in my OP5T (running Android 8.x) without too much headache. Guess if I was wrong.
I get the error about that app was not installed. After browsing around on e.g. ApkMirror, I ultimately found a Samsung Galaxy derived Gallery .APK that I could install, it was a very early version (v1.x.something) which has the cutting feature, but not the rotation (flag changing) feature. So, this ancient Gallery3D .apk installed well, but not the one on my own Galaxy S4+.
So, what could be my issue? Is the .APK flagged to be installed as a system app, and due to my OP5T not being rooted I don't have access too /system/app/, therefor the error? Could it be that simple? If so, is it possible the modify the .APK to install as in /data/app/ instead? Of course I'd resign the APK with some dummy/androiddebug signature afterwards to make installation possible.
Could it be some silly (not really needed) demand listed in the AndroidManifest.xml of the APK in question? If so, is it possible to replace the AndroidManifest.xml with a very "basic" one listing more or less no demands, and re-wrap everything with new signature?
I'm really investigating all my options __except__ for having to root my OnePlus!
I figured that I could get a more specific error message from ADB than by just trying to install the .APK through the phone interface.
So, here goes..
Code:
C:\>adb.exe install F:\Galleri_com.sec.android.gallery3d.apk
adb: failed to install F:\Galleri_com.sec.android.gallery3d.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.sec.android.gallery3d-RAEW5FZ4VBWqTWXx48LPmQ==: Package /data/app/com.sec.android.gallery3d-RAEW5FZ4VBWqTWXx48LPmQ==/base.apk code is missing]
What does this tell me?

The Galaxy S4 and most Samsung devices has a second framework app, twframework-res.apk, that only works with their apps. Here's the fun part: the existing Android framework-res.apk is modified by Samsung so both framework apps are required by a given Samsung app to function. Even better is that you cannot simply port the app and twframework-res.apk to a totally different device and expect it to function. You'd have to port the framework-res.apk as well, and with that apk being a system file, you'd soft brick your device after copying it and rebooting.
The tl;dr here? What you're attempting won't work due to Samsung modifications to Android.
