Root .apk

[Podo]

Hi everyone,
I rooted my phone-droid incredible on verizon-and deleted the facebook for htc sense app. Now I want it back bec it integrates with my contacts. Downloaded the apk and now don't know how to love it to the system/app folder. Tried astro and ES file manager but it won't work. Don't know if I should buy root explorer from the market or not or if there was a free way to do this?
Thanks any help is greatly appreciated

Those file managers should load the apk.

it might be a bad .apk.
find a copy some other place and try that.

or

if you rooted your phone.. did you do a nandroid backup after root?
you can restore that backup.

I tried doing a handsome backup but for some reason it never went through
Does anyone have the facebook for sense apk. One that works

Nandroid nandroid...always nandroid before doing ANYTHING to your phone that you can't do without root. Yes root explorer will allow you to move the apk to the system folder or you can push it with adb.

so i downloaded droid explorer which is supposed to come with adb (looked at doing android sdk, but i9t's too complicated and i'm not that computer saavy). got to the installation point, and then it crashed my computer. any ideas?
