That "Root Explorer" app was a few bucks, but yet well spent. That's a powerful application for the Android platform. I don't know if I'd recommend it to everyone right off the bat, but as time passes, there are a few key things that it does, and does very well.

Hi,
I'm having a little trouble getting this to work. I moved the file to system/app but when I try to install it I get a message saying "Installation of download apks is not supported". Is there a setting I need to change in order to install downloaded apks?

Thanks,
Anna

You need to go into the app NookColor Tools and make sure Allow Non-Market Apps is checked.

If it's checked, then uncheck it, and check it again. Then reboot.

Guess I'm being dense again but I bought SlideIT, it shows up in the app drawer, but I can't find it to put it in the systems / app directory. Can't figure this out.

If you use a backup app to back up your .apk files, data, and settings, you can retrieve the .apk file from the backup folder.

Didn't think of that.

Now when I try to move the file I get "You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only." I know I saw something about that somewhere, but can't find that either.

Now what? Am really feeling like a dummy with this NC.

You can only use Root Explorer for this because you need to change permissions. You have to mount the directory as Read/Write.

ADB can be used to do this as well. I don't know if you have Root Explorer or don't mind paying for it.

I got Root Explorer, but I don't know how to mount the directory as Read/Write.

At the top of the screen (within the app) it says Mount R/W

Sorry - still lost. At the top of the system/app screen it has mount r/w, but then what?

Going to pull hair out soon!

Click on it. Then you can paste the file there.

Aaarrrghhhh!!! Dog barking and I'm going to join him soon.

Used Astro to backup apps.
Copied and pasted com.dasur.slideit-copy to system/app using Root Explorer.
Installed com.dasur.slidit-copy.apk. Changed permissions to read, write execute checked.
Rebooted.
Went to nookColor Tools. Unchecked, checked Allow Non-Market Apps. Rebooted.
Choose Keyboard only shows Multi-touch keyboard. Keyboard only shows up as the old one.

Really can't figure this out or get it to work. Rebooted a lot more times than mentioned - just can't remember ho much or when. More like everytime I tried somehing, I rebooted.

Very tempted to show up on your doorstep and just say Here, you do it!"
