So I went to delete swype in root explorer and deleted the .apk from system apps and no get the continuous fc "com.nuance.swype.input has stopped" trying to hunt through the lib folder to see what I need to delete but cant seem to find it. Does anyone know the other files I need to delete as well?

In the future, all your user apps will 99% of the time be in that folder.

hello, I'm rooted and I wanted to change a few of my icons so they are changed in the app drawer. on my ipod touch I used iFile to find the app's folder and overwrite the icon.png, I tried to use Root Explorer to do this but I can't figure out where the apps install to. Could anyone give me a hint? thanks in advance.

System apps would be /system/app
User apps would be /data/app
thank you, sorry for the ignorant reply but all I found were apk's. the apps don't unpack files into a directory when installed? they stay and run from an apk on your phone?

thank you, so if I don't see the icon files in data/data then I'm screwed as far as being able to change it?
Iirc here are the general steps.
Search to get the exact syntax.
Make a copy of the apk.
Rename the copy suffix to .zip from . apk
Extract the image stuff and replace it.
Repack the zip.
Rename it to apk
/system/app/ or sometimes /data/app/ if you modify an app you have to sign it again or the phone won't recognize it
EDIT: Use ninjamorph and just drag and drop the pings in there and here is myn's method of signing

It's dependent on the sony framework as it's preinstalled, push the .apk to /system/app/ and it will work again

You can just copy and paste it to /system/app. Using a file explorer, but you must set the right permissions afterwards, or if you have a pc, you can use adb, just to push the .apk

when you say "push the .apk" do you basically mean move the downloaded .apk-file to /system/app then install it from there or what?

No push is a command used by adb, so you would use the command "adb push xxxx.apk /system/app" and that would move the apk to that location, you dont need to install apps to /system/ just copy them there

The best way to push an app to your system/app file with out bricking your phone?

Um that isn't going to brick you. Especially since you're talking about system app. Worst thing to happen would be a reboot if you touched an app which was currently running.
But I've been using root explorer and it works great. Or if the file is on my computer I use adb push. Or even a flashable zip if you really are worried.

I used a file browser app and installed it over the existing one. Every time after that I was getting an error something .goo not responding. (SecPhone.apk) Trying to restor the call recording feature. I ended up doing a restore back to square one. No if I use root-explorer will it make a difference or should I use dab push? I would not know how to begging with that. could I use terminal and instal like I would if I was using the cwmtr.img install directions. but direct it to system/app?

Which file browser app did you use? Did you remember to set the permissions for the newly copied apk? Permissions in /system/app should be rw-r--r
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
No I did not set permissions. If I use Root-Explorer will that allow me to set permissions? I used Smanager to move the file.
Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V
Can I use RootExplorer to zip file them flash it? Or just move using RE?

Yes, Root Explorer will allow you to change permissions as long as you aare rooted.

Root Explorer is a file manager, use to move the file to the appropriate folder and set permissions and reboot. I know you can create a zip & tar file, don't know if it would be flashable though.

Smanager isn't a good file system tool. Try root browser lite tap and hold functioning is perfect. Has options for copy paste and permissions

I am using Frosty JB v6. I asked in the developer thread and I got a reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063&page=546
I tried using RootExplorer and I was still getting error messages after be booting. Is there a way to make it flash able? What am I doing wrong or is it just never going to work? Do I need to start looking for a rom that has it functional on the build?
Did you reset permissions to match the rest of the files in the folder?
And you probably need to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Use root browser lite, you can get it from the market it's a freeware then copy the app you want to system/app ....no permission stuff needed

Please know what you're talking about first before posting suggestions. Especially when it pertains to system directory permissions. System/app directory uses rw-r--r-- as the permissions. Meaning owner has read write permissions while everyone else only has read. Not setting permissions correctly can lead to many many many issues.

There is application on the market called system application mover

I vote for a rom that has it and works where you don't need to mod stuff, yet. Learn all this stuff with something you don't need, like a sound mod (DSP) or something.

What app are you using to do that? Also if you're moving something to system/apps you have to make sure you enable RW on the app

You need a root file explorer. ES File Explorer is probably the best free one.
Though it is my opinion that Solid Explorer is the best overall.
The apk says both read and write are enabled but I still can't copy it into the system/app folder.
Sent from my SGH-T999
If you use file explorer first select root explorer, then grant it root access when prompted, then select mount R/W and select system, after that you will be able to copy
