It is taking TiBu an awfully long time to convert. Its been like 5min now....
That normal?

Yes that's normally. The prompt window doesn't disappear even after convert process completed. so use a file manager app and go to /system/app(or you can move it there and set permission manually) if action launcher's package is there then reboot device.

try this

or your best bet is to use a root enabled file manager to paste apk to /system/priv-app
and set permission 644 .
