Is it safe to remove rosie.apk on mytouch 3g slide?
I understand that this is the UI, please correct me if I'm wrong
Thanks in advance
root and apply one of the stock 2.1 desenzitized roms.
but yes, its safe if it is removed in a rom and another launcher is provided. but DONT REMOVE ANY OTHER TIME. EVEN IF YOU HAVE ANOTGER LAUNCHER.

could you install it on a froyo rom ?
Thanks for your response
I am rooted and running Slidemeroot5r1. Is it save to remove in this ROM?
I have removed quitea bit of files, however I don't notice any improvement on the available space.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

Since I don't have a slide, I don't know all the specifics about the ROM, but just as long as you have a launcher pro or adw file to cook in to the rom as a replacement for rosie then it is safe.
If you remove some files, that doesn't really mean much as far as performance. A little bit, but not much.

Sorry if this is a stupid question
But how do you cook launcher pro or ADW into a ROM?
7 zip copy and paste. That's not actually how to make a Tom, bit that's how to add an app into it.

I am going to give this a try, I appreciated the help.
I will have to remove slideme root and then create a zip from something like adw or launcher pro and then relash.
Is this correct?

you have to:
navigate to the rom , go into system/app, remove rosie and then add launcher pro or adw. make sure to d/l them from your computer, and copy paste it to the rom vis 7zip.

I was able to find ADW.launcher.apk and paste after removing rosie.apk and odex. The issue I see is almost like I am still running 2 different launchers and still no much of a difference on available space.
What am I still doing wring?
Do I also need to get rid of rosie scroll folder?

These things are case sensitive. You are looking for:
/system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk
Right?
What rom are you running? If it is any sense based rom it should be there..

Bumping your own thread is the best way I know of to get people to ignore your question, especially when your bump is less than 30 minutes after your last post. If no one responds in a day or two then a bump is ALMOST acceptable, it's just good forum etiquette. (tip: posting any kind of progress, even if it's failed attempts, is a much better way to bump a thread. That way people at least know you are trying to solve the problem on your own)
Also, have you posted your question in the thread for the rom you are running? That's probably the best place to get relevant answers.
Although I am inclined to believe you are missing something, unless flipz changed the name of the apk for some reason.
Use ADB to "ls" your /system/app directory and post the output here. If you have the Sense style pull-down bar lockscreen then the lockscreen apk has to be there somewhere.
another option is at least in previous fresh roms in the fresh updater is a vanilla lockscreen flashable zip. yuoc an try seeing if it is still tjhere for 3.2 and flashing it to kill it off for you.
If you can't find it buy system app remover from the market. .99 cents and I'm running barebones on cm6 smooth as butter.. I hit 1937 today with stock kernel. Anyways it has two categories. System and user apps. Even shows the icons next to the names of system apks. Don't have to search for them they all are in a list.

If you have root explorer you can do it easily. If you do not have it, you should. Worth every penny if you don't understand adb yet.
Anyway, with root explorer, you just download a swype enabled rom. Open root explorer and navigate to the swype enabled rom on your sdcard. Make sure R/W access is checked at the top of root explorer. Locate the app directory and longclick on the swype apk. Select extract and it will extract the file to your system/extracted folder or something like that. I believe it tells you where it puts the file so keep an eye out. Now locate the library directory and find the swype library file and extract. At this point you just need to copy the files to your system app and library directories. When you have the files placed in their respective directories, navigate to the swype apk file and install it from within root explorer. Now your golden. Make sure to enable swypw in you keyboard settings.
Hope this is legible enough to help.

Not sure if this info has been posted anywhere. So, I would like to know if there is any way to install APKs from a different rom onto current rom. I am currently running IncRom 1.2, but I have never been a fan of Sense dialers. I would like to install either MIUI dialer or any 2.3 based dialer. Is it possible, and if so, how would I go about doing that? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
Just download whatever rom you want the apk from and put it onto your new rom? I hope that makes sense as I can't think of a better way to explain ...

I get what you're saying and I've tried that before, but then I always get force closes on phone app. What I've done before is grab apk from 2nd rom, place it in place of apk in current rom. I've tried zipping after that, and not zipping the file. After trying both ways, I reinstall rom, then run into the force close issue. Do I need to reinstall Rom after that? Or am I not even doing this the right way?
You need to fix the permission after you put it into your rom. I use root explorer and its two boxes for the first row then one for the other two.

Sounds good. Will try fixing permissions. Will report back on results. BTW, thanks for the help so far.
I don't think it is possible because the phone apk is tied into the framework. Please correct me if I'm wrong
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I fixed permissions, removed current phone.apk and replaced it with the fixed phone.apk. I rezipped rom and reinstalled. Once it was up and running I was right back where I started with the original phone.apk, minus the fc's.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I know this works with the music.apk as I've done it in the past just replacing the stock app with the gingerbread music app and it worked just fine after setting permissions. But now that I think about it more I think I also had to install it just like a regualr app to get all the files in place then set permissions not just replace the file in the system/app folder.
The phone apk ties into other programs. It is not a stand alone flash. There would need to be some code changes to make it work.
Seems like too much work for me. Appreciate the ideas & help you guys offered.

Check out incredibly re-engineered...
Aosp dialer will probably not work on a Sense based roms as Sense is a UI overlayed and pretty deeply integrated into the Android os. You may want to consider one of the dialer options from market...Dialer one is popular. Or you may just want to consider moving to an aosp rom.

I have been trying to install reengineered but ever since I updated clockworkmod I can't. That's besides the point. I have used a few aosp roms but miss out on Sense. Guess I have my cake, but can't eat it. Oh well.

Hi all,
I have a theme eg. Lite Pro theme that I want to get rid of the Launcher Pro in it. If I use the launcher pro in the theme, it stops me from downloading updates as they fail to install.
I'd like to remove the launcher pro and install it manually but want everything else in the theme.
If I simply remove it from the zip file in the /system/app directory of the zip, I end up with a crap load of errors when the theme loads after a boot.
If I want to add or remove an app, do I have to modify any files, or change anything else before I install the update.zip?
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I'm having a hell of a time getting rid of Launcher Pro from this theme.. I must be doing something wrong.
I've tried removing the .apk from the zip file - Failed
I've tried using ZipSigner 1.1 to recreate and sign the update.zip - Update.zip is flashable but when the SGS boots up, I get a crapload of errors.. It's almost as though it's looking for something that is no longer there.. eg. perhaps something in the framework is looking for launcherpro. What can I modify to say don't look for it?
Any help would really be appreciated.
If anyone is feeling really generous can you create a workable update.zip of the the LitePro theme but WITHOUT launcher pro or point me in the right direction?
Thanks heaps.
I'm not a user of the international variant, just here to look for a theme to port but on my epic I can use the sdx app remover (not sure if its compatible with sgs) or you can use root explorer the go to system» app» find launcher pro delete it and then install your own version like usual

Thanks for that.. I've been playing around and I think I've got other issues because now it's giving me problems with the original theme. I'll have to experiment further but you're suggestion to remove the app using root explorer would probably work well. I was just hoping to work it out the long winded way as I'd like to create some of my own update.zips soon. Having said that.. I'll go down the root explorer route for now.
Thanks again.

Download any deodexed stock rom and open up the zip and get \system\app\Launcher2.apk. It's as easy as that . If you want to remove a launcher, open up the .zip and just delete it before even flashing the rom (though make sure you replace it with another). You can usually add/remove apk's from the rom .zips before you flash all you want as long as you do not force md5 checks when flashing (well, as long as you don't remove any essential apks).
MD5 check before changing apks
Do check for MD5 before changing apks, so that you know nothing else is different except the changes you made.
Simple way

You don't have to use other aps to get ride of it. Just delete some chache and data of Nova, reset nova setting, then you can uninstall it, forever from your smartphone. As simple as simple it self
