Adb Install System App

Question

I am aware that using adb install command installs an app in the /data/app folder. Also I know the in order to install an app as a system app I need to push it directly to the system. Is it possible to use adb install directly to the /system/priv-app/ on rooted phones?

Accepted Answer

if I got your question, this should do the work:

adb root
adb remount
adb push apk-filename-here /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/apk-filename-here
adb reboot

See this or this link for more info.

Answer 2

You can not use adb to directly install app at /system/priv-app/. Even If you copy your .apk, .odex files to this path device can not recognize your app as system app. For this you have to use same certificate with which your system apps are signed.
