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...

Hi im using OD's rom, but i wanna make some personal stuff to it.
I have found out to integrate apks to the zip file, but after i integrate the apps and install it on my desire, it does not show the files on the market under downloads.
Is there any way to let them show up in there so i could uninstall them if thats what i want?.
Download any app from the market and they should show up... you are putting them in /data/app and not /system/app aren't you?

I put them in system/app,
so if the data folder its not there i just make data/app and place them in there correct?.
Thanks for the reply.
Okay i tryed to make the folder data and inside that i made the app folder and placed all the apk i need.
Seems not to work they dont install automatic when installing the custom rom?
bump!!!!
bump.......
Put them in /data/app. They will show up. If they don't, you're doing something wrong.

ehm, okay.
I took opendesire 3.6.0. i opend it with winrar and made the folder data and app folder, in the root of the zip file okay? its not there on standard. And then i putted the files in in zip file and signed it.
It does not work. Is there a guide somewhere?. Have trying to search but no luck yet.
bump!.......
when you install an app without using the market, there is no market link for the market to... well... link to.
I use aTrackDog to keep track of my constant backups and flashes etc. it even provides you a market link if you want to update.
Have a look at Titanium Backup as a different way of keeping market links. when restored it can restore the market link necessary for it to show up in the market downloads section
If there is no /data/app folder in the ZIP then simply adding it won't work as the update script won't look for it and flash them - you'd need to ask AdamG (or someone else) to add the lines to the script to make the ROM flash that information as well...
Rooted using Unrevoked. Have Root Explorer installed and Titanium. I know the system apps are in the folder: System/Apps When using Root Explorer I don't have the options. To uninstall the apps bit I can delete them. However, after deleting them the programs are still there. Same thing happens when I try to do it with Titanium. Is there something I'm overlooking?
System Apps do not get installed/uninstalled. Deleting them is all you need to to. However, since it appears you are still running the stock ROM you need to make sure you delete the corresponding odex file too.
I only had the stock ROM for about a day before I rooted and installed a different ROM (which was deodexed). BUT, I recall reading that both files need to be deleted.
I suggest that instead of deleting the files place them in a backup folder just in case you might need them later on. As mentioned before you must move the APK and its associated ODEX file if it has one. Sprint applications tend to be updated so uninstall the updates then move the Sprint applications using the aforementioned method.

so i have to move the sprint apk files and odex files (if applicable) before I can delete them? I already tried deleting them w/o backing them up or changing their location but they keep coming back!

Are you mounting the apps folder with "rw" privileges before deleting?
Yes, I am. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I swear to god these ****ing apps come right back after I reboot the phone. I delete them with Titanium and/or Root Explorer and after a little while they pop up again. I have no idea what is going on. I rooted with Unrevoked 3.21...maybe something didn't go right?
I also can't get BusyBox to install which is a major pain in da ass because so many apps need it
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

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?
Rooted my phone last week and now looking to flash MikFroYo v4.5. But (and this might be crazy to do for my first ROM flash) I want to change some of the apps up that he’s left in or removed.
Is it safe to modify the .ZIP and move APKs to different folders so they will be installed or not installed as I want them? Take the APKs from the system\app or data\app and move them to the removed folder. And vise-versa take APKs from the removed apps folder and move them to either the system\app or data\app folder.
If this can be done I figure it will be pretty safe to move APKs from the removed folder to the system\app or data\app folder, but I do have questions about the ones I’m looking to remove and if they are safe to not install:
Any of the following not safe to remove?
Data\app\
com.facebook.katana.apkSystem\app\
com.htc.FMRadioWidget.apk
com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk
com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk
Flikr.apk
FriendStream.apk
HtcFacebook.apk
HtcFMRadio.apk
HtcTwitter.apk
Mail.apk
Street.apk (Is this google street view?)
Talk.apk
Also as a follow-up question, if this is done, I assume I would also remove any deleted(not installed) APKs from any themes I might install. I’m looking at installing Slayers CYAN Dragon Theme after Mik’s ROM.
Thanks…
i would personally install first, then uninstall the apps. if you do want to take the hard way though, make sure you open up with a zip OPENER NOT EXTRACTOR. then resign it. also, uninstalling deletes any remaining files the apps might have left behind, something that just deleteing doesnt do.

I agree that it would be easier and safer to remove these apps after install. Use a program like Titanium Backup, it should be able to remove all of the apps you listed.
My Windows thinking coming in to play, where its better not to install things you don't want because things never uninstall cleanly.

The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.
Android is much cleaner than windows surprisingly. You can install and uninstall without much or sometimes any residual data.
I agree, just uninstall whatever you dont want, install what you want. Android does a nice job of separating the OS, data, apps.

Titanium all the way bro
Thanks for the info. I'll go the Ti Backup route for customization of the installed apps.

Hi. Sometimes(most of the time) whenever we wish to switch to try another custom ROM, we have to wipe all data and hence all the downloaded app will gone. As a result of that, before we even flash new ROMs, we have to do a back-up of all the downloaded app, turning them into apk file into our SD card so that its easier to again reinstall those app.
My question is, is there any app that we can use to install ALL the apk files in our SD Card all at once in just a click of one or two taps? Because its tedious for us to actually install those apps one by one. Especially for me that have installed many apps in my Desire HD.
Thank you. =)
Well, your google backup restores all the market apps automatically, so you do not need to worry about those.
You can copy your apk files into /data/app/ in the rom zip file. Then you do not even have to install them, they will be ready to use immediately.
Oh yea.. I did not even thought of that. Lol. Thank you so much.
