My pal has a MyTouch 4G and he likes the way my contacts show up with the ability to navigate via the Alphabet on the right side. What are the chances of damaging his phone if I export my Contacts.apk and remove his internal Contacts to install my apk of Contacts on top of his phone? Will it be too much of a hassle and mess things up? Has anyone tried this?
It'll probably get force closes because I believe our contacts apk is tied in with touchwiz framework. All he can do is back up his apk and try it. If not he can restore it with root manager or a nandroid backup if he's rooted.l and has clockwork installed

Yeah huge is right no real damage, but there's a good chance it won't work. I say go for it. Easy copy to dropbox dl move to system/app reboot
Give us an update

So just recently my accounts & sync in my settings started to force close on me. I'm not sure why it's doing this, I only noticed it was like that when my contacts from Google weren't in my contacts list anymore. I know I can fix this by just wiping my phone and reflashing the rom, but I don't really want to lose progress on my games that don't have save files on the SD Card. Do you guys know another work around to get it to work for me? I am running CR's stock OTA update with the add-ons. I am also using the jit tester 2, the one in alpha I guess.
The add on package is what is giving you problems. Take a look at the files it removes, at least one of these (stock.apk) is required for your accounts to sync. It might be worth a try to nandroid backup and reflash the rom without wiping. Alternatively put slide into recovery and adb push the files the add on removed.

I don't think I made a nandroid for the rom when I flashed the add ons :/ can you tell me what directory I would push the stock.apk to?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
/system/app. You will need to determine all of the apk and their associated odex files and push them back via adb while the system is in recovery.

You lost me at odex. Doing a reflash doesn't sound so bad right about now lol

I'm on mikifroyo and wanted to get rid of some apps like Facebook news Twitter all that. I know its probably easy but can someone help? Thanks

Just lookup "Root Uninstaller" in the Market. It let me finally get rid of the NASCAR app.
Isn't it just a matter of removing the apk from the /system/app folder? I'm sure there's more to it, so hopefully someone more in the know can chime in.
My recommendation- Use Titanium Backup to do it. It's easy as can be and you can also back up the app before deleting it just in case you want it back.
If you have root explorer you can go to /system/app and set it to RW as opposed to RO and delete the apks of what you don't want....

Here's my situation: experimented with removing some system apps today (mostly bloatware) on my rooted stock ec05 Epic and I decided to try getting rid of "System Updates 1.0.0". Then, I remembered I sometimes use the update prl function to reconnect my 3g if JuiceDefender doesn't kick it back on automatically after I wake the screen up, so I popped back into Titanium Backup to restore the app. It's been in the process of restoring it for the past 30 min and I'm not optomistic anymore. My question is this: is there a way to get this system app back short of ODINing back to complete stock? I lurk a lot on the Epic boards but I haven't experimented a lot with my Epic itself, so I'm ignorant when it comes to these tricks. Thanks for any help I receive.
Cheers

Try reflashing the rom and you cant backup sys apps with titanium
I reccomend you use sdx stock app remover it pretty easy and backups too and it doesnt take forever like titanium

Damn. I was afraid of that. It's funny because TB restores most of Tue other apps just fine, just not System Update and the drm files.
How about this: I located the apks for these three in my TB folder and extracted them to the sex backup folder. I'm trying to restore them via sex tool now, but I always get an error saying I'm out of space, and SD maid doesn't turn up anything I can delete to make room. If I could make room, would that method work, and if so, how should I make room?

Use SDX to backup and delete the Asphalt demo and you will have room.
I'd already deleted asphault before this, so I'm sol there.
In fact, I tried something else this morning andachived a stellar bootloop, so I Odin's and am going to use sdx. Thanks for all the help!

Get rid of the double-ended dildo. That'll free up a fair amount of space.

lol. That's actually the ever-helpful Gingerbread keyboard on my NookColor. Gotta love it.
The latest paid version of Titanium Backup allows the deletion and restoration of system apps. You should see a red Happy face, IIRC.

Hey guys I can't seen to find where these two apps are installed so I can delete them.
Anyone can point me in the right direction? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
They are all in /system/apps. Use any file explorer app that has root access and remove them. Titanium backup does this too..

I deleted all the stock apps that I didn't want from system/app but those two I couldn't find in there. Any particular name that they go by other than the obvious name?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
That, I don't know. I use titanium backup to delete because it has them listed as you would see them in the drawer. Plus, with its icon to make it easy to recognize.

In case you didnt figure this out - the name of the app is LiveSource.apk /system/app/LiveSource.apk (411 & More) and Name ID is "ECID" something
I've looked up how to replace system apps and read multiple guides, but I haven't found what I'm looking for specifically. I want to remove the stock Google apps and replace them with alternatives. For example, I want quickpic instead of the gallery.
I've rooted my phone making it writable. I've flashed my phone enough times to know I need to read. I'm currently running Reloaded .500 RLS.
I've moved the quickpic apk to /system/app and changed the permissions and then I moved the gallery to /data/app and uninstalled it, but when I reboot the app is installed but force closes upon opening. What should I do? Also, should I change the name of the apk to the system app for association purposes because I want the replacement apps to be associated with the functions off the Google apps. Like when in messages when I click on "attach" I want to be able to click "picture from camera" which I can't right now even though I renamed the replacement app Camera.apk. Definitely need some help. Tia!

Get Titanium Backup from the market, uninstall the system apps and install your apps choosing "integrate into rom" or something similar
