I like the mail app from my Thunderbolt Bamf 1.11, can I copy the mail.apk to the a100 and run it or is there other library files associated? The acer mail app doesn't seem to allow me to change senders. I can only forward an email from the same account.
If its a stock app for that device then the short answer is probably not.
Stock apps that came with a device usually have external components either built in to the rom's framework or it may have additional libraries or even a odex file that tells the app how to write to the device's dalvik cache. There's no harm in trying though, the worst that could happen is that the app would fc on your a100.

That's sorta what I thought. I'll ask the developer maybe I can get an install.

Never mind, I figure out. For those with same issues go to applications - sense - delete data. This fill remove "ghost" files and restore sense settings to defaults.

That images are usually saved by an application you installed previously..
Make sure no apps uses that images, and eventually consider uninstalling it

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

Let's take the default web browser. Do you freeze it, install it, or leave it be? What about other duplicate apps what do you do with extra I'm wondering if i should install if i use chrome or if i might need is

If I feel I might need in future, like gallery for lock screen wall paper, I freeze. Rest I delete.

If I'm planning to stick with the same ROM for a few weeks or longer, then I'll delete the unused apps.
But if I think I may upgrade/update an AOSP ROM to a new nightly, then I just freeze the apps. When you update the ROM, the apps remain frozen. But if you deleted the apps, then they get re-installed and you have to delete them all over again.
I personally only freeze apps that I consider bloatware or I don't utilize.
There is more then enough space on the device to just leave them.
Sent from my SGH-I747M
For the most part I've just left the system apps be since there's enough space. Since I just switched from stock rom I'm not where near the same utilization anymore lol so even less inclined... However, I did freeze and uninstall rogers related bloat as soon as I got it.
With every other rooted phone I've had I was always able to remove unwanted systems apps by either removing APK's from system/app or using titanium backup. Now with the One everytime I try to do that a reboot causes the apps to return. What's the deal? Amazon apps for example, don't want any of them, I'm rooted, how can I get rid of them?
Edit: I know there is a script I can run, but the script removes too much...

run the script and reinstall the apps you want...
I can make a custom script for you. What do you want to keep?

Dude that's insanely generous of you, but I guess this is what it comes down to... I use facebook and twitters integration with sense, which if I'm not mistaken lies in the framework? If I run your script, will it remove the integration? ie Facebook for HTC sense, Twitter for HTC sense... will your debloat script remove that? Really what bothers me more than having the bloatware, is not knowing why I can't remove it from system if it is R/W. I've just never ran into this issue unless it was a tethered root.

HTC has write protection on the system files.
Give me 20 min or so I will have you a script.
WTF write protection on system files? Is that because of stock Rom or what? I've never heard of that before. I did notice when I tried to use ES to move a .wav file to /system/media/audio/notifications it wouldn't stick after a reboot, then used Root Explorer to move the file and boom, it stuck after reboot.

I don't fully understand it, but I know it will revert changes after a reboot. To permanently change something you have to do it in recovery since the filesystem isn't active.
Anyone know how to restore one of the proprietary sense apps? I want picasa back in my gallary.
Here is your script mcampos7, it excludes Facebook and Twitter: mcampos7 Bloatware Remover Script

Thanx buddy. Will flash tonight when the wife & kids get to bed. Let me know if I can help you out in anyway.

Have you tried a TB restore? If that doesnt work, maybe pushing the app via adb? Which now brings the question can we push/pull files to system and have them stick, or no go because of write protection?

viperboy has a script to disable write protection, over at the sprint forum, don't know if it will work here or not, pm him and find out
here's a read on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236849
like i said it's for sprint, but i'm sure he can make one for you guys, too
