i tried to uninstall star battalion with titanium and it keeps poping up in my apps and in the experia play launcher ,i tried it with the chuck norris option and same thing ,in titanium i dont see it anywhere now(erased data and apk ) ,but in my apps and laucher its still there .i had a look with a file explorer and the apk is still there(system) and i cant delete it (read only)...anyway to get rid of it
Use adb. Connect device, open a prompt and type in:
adb remount
rm /system/app/*name*.apk
adb reboot
You may also want to delete the dalvik cache too, to remove the .dex for that game.

so i removed friendstream.apk because of forcecloses and htcfacebook for sense i got the apks from a stock rom and used root explorer to mount and paste the files into the /system/app folder so theyre there, but i dont see the apps or widgets but when i try to install them using the app manager on android it says its already installed, any ideas? thanks!
im using damage control 3.2.3 with a custom kernel for damage control 3.7.1, thanks!
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..
Where do the android apps that I downloaded save on the tilt 2 because im going to re-install android because it wont start it get stuck on lockscreen, vibrates then reboots so im going to re-install android but I have my blizzard authenticator on it and dont feel like calling and waiting 30 min. to remove it and put it on again.
hey
in android open a file browser and then there should be a system folder and there should be an apps folder in there...then find your app and copy it to the sd card...
i dunno if it works exactly like that cuz i dont have my phone with me.
u might have a problem because you are not root so u might not have the permission to copy the file
then go into a terminal programm and type
su
cp /system/apps/whateverapp.apk /sdcard/whateverapp.apk
that should work

Use astro file manager. there is a backup apps option. they are backed up to backup folder. you can also re-install them in astro backup
Lemme know how it works out. Cuz I was thinking bout getting a blizzard auth. Myself.

Running Uncommon Sense 1.1 -- love it. Droid Incredible (purchased new this month).
However, I want to uninstall Music Mod and use the HTC Music app or something else.
I noticed that there is no preferences section under Music Mod, so I can't tell it not to respond to presses of my headset play / answer button.
It kind of annoying because Dogg Catcher is the only app I want to respond to the headset and sometimes Music Mod interferes with it.
Titanium Backup works great for uninstalling system apps. Just select Music Mod from the app list and hit delete.
Alternatively, you can download a file browser such as Root Explorer that allows access to the system directory and delete Music.apk from /system/app

You can remove most apps by using ADB to get a root shell and navigating to the app directory (cd /system/app/) ENTER
And then typing "rm -r x.apk" ENTER
Where x is the filename for the apk.
You can list the contents of the directory by typing ls ENTER
BE CAREFUL because if you remove something you need, you can trash your rom and have to reflash (or nandroid recovery)
You should nandroid backup before you go removing anything that's a part of the rom or essential. That said, enjoy streamlining your app directory

As pyroboy1080 pointed out, using "rm -r" through adb or a terminal editor is the best way to do this, but you can also do it with Root Explorer if you're lazy like me.
Can someone tell me what im doing wrong im running maddoggin rom
I have downloaded many copies of it from searching all over xda for one that might work
So i have tried with root explorer i change the system app folder to RW then i copy the apk into system app folder change permissions to RW r r and then exit and do a reboot and nothing its not in the app drawer
With super manager i enable root access then copy the apk then i go into system app folder change yge system to RW then i paste the apk then i exit and do a reboot and nothing and thats the exact same process ive done to push many other apks and all have work
Can someone post a copy that they know for sure works and tell me what im missing on how to install it properly.
Try this one

Hi,
I'm trying to remove google plus as I don't use it, but when I try to uninstall it in settings it only allows me to uninstall updates not the app ??
I'm running AOKP milestone 2
Thanks

Use root explorer to delete or rename the apk, in system/app

Or titanium backup to freeze the app or just uninstall it

Removing the stock app will cause the Gallery app to crash as it's linked, just so you know
thanks for replies. The reason i wanted to uninstall was because i kept seeing Google+ in my running/cached apps but everytime i stopped it just restarted again sometime later
In the end i deleted the apk from /system/app. But this did not remove the app from the app drawer.
i then deleted the apk from /data/app too and rebooted and that removed it for me. I checked Gallery too and that still seems to work ok, however it did have to sync picasa again
i also read about another step to uninstall, something along the lines of running the terminal command "pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.plus" but that gave me a segmentation error, but it doesnt seem to have affected anything, i no longer see google+ in the running/cached apps
Wish i had known about titanium backup first. I went in and uninstalled Google Wallet too from there and everything seems fine! much easier...
cheers!
Hi Buddy,
Easiest and best way to be sure app has completely gone is to remove it via adb.
Open command line and enter the following commands then reboot:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/example.apk
Be aware that these commands are case sensitive, if you need to see the correct names for the apps in your /system/app/ folder issue the following command and they will be listed for you:
Code:
adb ls /system/app/
Hope this helps buddy!
