How to install Trebuchet.apk on Android 4.1.2 ROM.

As I mention earlier this installation can be done via root enable the file browser or custom recovery. Recovery based method easier, so I first added it.

Install using recovery.

  • Download apk file and zip file to the desktop.
  • Extract flashable zip file using WinZip, WinRAR, and 7zip etc file compression tool.
  • Copy the downloaded apk file into the extracted zip file “system/app” folder.
  • Again make a new zip file using that extracted folder. In this situation, you can give any desire name for that file.
  • Copy zip file into the SD card.
  • Power off the phone and boot into the recovery.
  • When the recovery mode enabled go to “install zip from sd card>Choose zip from sd card” and select the copied Trebuchet.apk flashable zip file.
  • To begin the installation, select “Yes – Install”.

 


Install using the root browser.

  • Install root browser lite from Google play store in here.
  • Once it’s installed, go to the “Download” folder and copy the Trebuchet. apk file.
  • Go to the “/system/app” folder and paste the copied apk file.
  • After it copied, tap and hold the “Trebuchet.apk”. Next context menu taps “Permission”.
  • Tick all the options under “Read”, next tick “Write “Owner” option. All other options should un-tick. Just like following screenshot.
  • Now reboot the phone.
