Last week i rooted my Desire Z and removed some system app's. Like gtalk/talk..
Is it possible to reinstall this program again without removing everthing? I found some talk.apk or gtalk.apk but they didn't work for me.. Maybe its because i have a newer ROM.
Can anyone with a desire Z share the apk of talk/gtalk??
Thanks

try restoring a nandroid backup...and honestly if i knew how to adb pull i would post it, but imjust learning adb commands right now.
never removed talk! its linked to the market and can screw everything up
Okey.. but how do i install it again ?
After a lot of googling I found the solution which was easier as I thought.
- Install Astro (or another file explorer)
- Go to /system/app/ and hit talk.apk
The talk.apk must be in the app folder, because when it's on the SD it will not work. I was lucky the talk.apk was on my device itself, because I downloaded a couple of talk.apk but those where from different devices (HTC Orange, HTC Desire).
Hope It's useful

SU File Manager
Root Explorer
Android Mate
Those all should get you root access to delete apps in /system/app

I have Root Manager and when i try to remove Amazon MP3 it just says that the app is removed and that i should restart, though the app is still there.
Any clue what the problem may be?

Leave them on your sd card and then try installing them using your file explorer.

when pusing them to /system/app with root explorer you have to change the permissions of each app you copy over (hold select the app and choose change permissions) i just check off all of the permissions thingys
when pushing through adb it does that automatically
hope that helps
the default ones are all can read and user can write plus read
Thread moved to Q&A.
yea i checked all the permissions and used adb before and still not showing up, lol really frustrating
any ideas guys, really miss friendstream lol
An easy way to fix permissions is through ROM manager.
Download it in the market and select fix apk permissions.
That might do the trick..
Don't forget to reboot.
yea tried that doesnt work, really weird
Very strange, did you try an adb install? Rather than push..
hi,
i was wondering how to remove the HTC Hub on my phone
i have the HiApk sensefun GSv1.1 installed on my phone
its rooted and have the alpharev boot recovery installed,
and if it will have any long-term effect on my phone, since sense.com/htc hub isnt available for my desire nor do i think HTC would ever care to make it available
Regards

you can uninstall it via titanium backup.
for other methods i'm not sure. if you have root explorer installed you can see all .apk's in "system/sd/app_s" folder. but i don't know if you can uninstall it by just deleting it's .apk file, or is there more to it....
i'll try with titanium, there is no ext partition for my ROM, and i have checked the app folder on the phone, and it isnt there... uninstalled alot of other HTC crap that way...
Edit:
titanium backup worked, thx alot.
oh, right...maybe you should be s-off to see system folders...glad it worked...
but now i'm curious. can apps be uninstalled just by deleting .apk's from system/sd/app_s folder? i figured, better to ask if somebody knows this, before i try and sc**w up my rom and have to flash it all over again...
thx in advance...
p.s. sorry for hijacking your thread...
yes it can be done, i found an application that can sign the package
so all i had to do was open zip archive, delete which apps i didnt want (i deleted mostly the theme's they take up around 8-9MB)and then just use an application called auto-sign to resign the zip archive
copy it to my phone, and just installing in recovery....
very easy...
Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything.
Where does amazon store the APK when it is downloaded to install?
I'd like to make a backup.
Thanks
Apps are installed to /data/app. You need a browser like root explorer to see them (ES File Explorer doesen't display them).
Or if you want to backup the ones you haven't installed but
have downloaded they will be in
sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia
The only file I have in here is a cache folder with a vnx26455.apk which I don't think is it?
I did find some in the data/app but not all and certainly not the amazon ones :S However most of the apps there seem to be the ones installed on the phone whereas all the other apps are on the SD Card.
I am using an HTC Desire running the stock rom (with root access).
EDIT: Managed to find them (I think) using root explorer: mnt/asec/ - although they are all called pkg.apk :S
Thanks
mine was in /sdcard/download folder

You will find it
HERE:
/Android/Data/com.amazon.mShop.android/files
The obb/data is merged in the APK itself
Hope that helps ?
:good:
BTW: make sure to get it before installation.. Cuz i think it will delete itself once it installed
Hey guys if I'm posting this in the wrong section delete it
I've been trying to find an app for rooted devices to allow you to permantly remove system apps but haven't managed to come across 1 yet :/ does anybody know if there's an app that does this? What do you use?
I've seen the story's about the root managers etc but alot of people say the come back after a reboot?
Thanks dudes

All you really need to do is delete the corresponding *.apk file in /system/app. I'm not 100% sure what the current android install process is, there might be some sort of registry system or framework installation that takes place elsewhere among the system; but deleting the .apk file has always worked fine for me.
-----
To do this you first have to have root access, which I assume you have. You then need to remount /system as r+w (read and write access, by default the /system mount is read only). You can do this with many an app from the Android Marketplace, just search for "remount".
This will then allow you to use your favorite root-enabled file browser, be it a terminal on your phone or something entirely different, to browse to /system/app and remove said *.apk file.
Let me know how you get on.
you must be rooted...and you can download any file explore to delete them
Edit: tolate he has better explanation

Titanium Backup is the best choice. Make a backup of it first, then delete it. That way it'll save you a headache when you delete phone.apk by mistake.
Titanium backup is bull**** when removing system apps... It just freezes.... Try root uninstaller (free from market).. It takes seconds to uninstall system apps...

bull****? have you tried the uninstall option and actually looked through /system/app? I'm pretty sure the .apk you just uninstalled has disappeared.
but anyway, there are a number of ways to do this as the others above have helpfully explained
