I freeze it, then uninstall it, and every time I reboot(full or hot/soft) it comes back. I am stock rooted. Maybe an xposed mod?

I'd say try out viper ROM. It is very close to stock but let's you get rid of annoying things like kids mode. Any xposed module for aosp roms will not tend to work well with sense, so it will be tough to remove it from the power or settings menus.

Its cause of the stock kernel. Either flash a custom kernel or soff and you can delete stuff from the /system partition without it coming back after a reboot.

Not sure if this info has been posted anywhere. So, I would like to know if there is any way to install APKs from a different rom onto current rom. I am currently running IncRom 1.2, but I have never been a fan of Sense dialers. I would like to install either MIUI dialer or any 2.3 based dialer. Is it possible, and if so, how would I go about doing that? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
Just download whatever rom you want the apk from and put it onto your new rom? I hope that makes sense as I can't think of a better way to explain ...

I get what you're saying and I've tried that before, but then I always get force closes on phone app. What I've done before is grab apk from 2nd rom, place it in place of apk in current rom. I've tried zipping after that, and not zipping the file. After trying both ways, I reinstall rom, then run into the force close issue. Do I need to reinstall Rom after that? Or am I not even doing this the right way?
You need to fix the permission after you put it into your rom. I use root explorer and its two boxes for the first row then one for the other two.

Sounds good. Will try fixing permissions. Will report back on results. BTW, thanks for the help so far.
I don't think it is possible because the phone apk is tied into the framework. Please correct me if I'm wrong

I fixed permissions, removed current phone.apk and replaced it with the fixed phone.apk. I rezipped rom and reinstalled. Once it was up and running I was right back where I started with the original phone.apk, minus the fc's.

I know this works with the music.apk as I've done it in the past just replacing the stock app with the gingerbread music app and it worked just fine after setting permissions. But now that I think about it more I think I also had to install it just like a regualr app to get all the files in place then set permissions not just replace the file in the system/app folder.
The phone apk ties into other programs. It is not a stand alone flash. There would need to be some code changes to make it work.
Seems like too much work for me. Appreciate the ideas & help you guys offered.

Check out incredibly re-engineered...
Aosp dialer will probably not work on a Sense based roms as Sense is a UI overlayed and pretty deeply integrated into the Android os. You may want to consider one of the dialer options from market...Dialer one is popular. Or you may just want to consider moving to an aosp rom.

I have been trying to install reengineered but ever since I updated clockworkmod I can't. That's besides the point. I have used a few aosp roms but miss out on Sense. Guess I have my cake, but can't eat it. Oh well.

Who are you asking? I never uninstalled stock messaging so I'm not sure who you are directing that towards. This was my first attempt at trying to move apks around so I don't have enough info.
Ok like halfway thru the day my google.framework apk like forecloses and I have to restart. I do have root and this happens everyday on the stock rom only...any ideas why. No I do not want custom roms and yes I have tryed permission fixing.

I rooted my Note2 and have root access, but I think I'm missing something... I reset my phone and the system apps reset themselves. On my Glacier you had to turn security off to keep it from happening, and I was wondering what needs to be done to prevent it on this device.
All I did was root, install cwm, then install Su. Does it have to do with deodexing? I'm unfimiliar with what it means and would appreciate some guidance in the right direction.

HTC devices. Do a little more reading and you'll find the difference, I find Sammy devices are a lot easier to play with compared to HTC, having owned several of both.

There is no such thing as S-on and S-off on Samsung devices as they already ship with an unlocked bootloader. If you are doing a factory reset on any phone, all of the system apps should be wiped as well, so I don't really understand your question.

Don't worry, I understand what you're talking about.
Started happening with the Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile as well since the most recent JB update
You "freeze" an app in Titanium Backup, and it freezes just fine, but after the very next reboot that app is back in action and active in the background. Very frustrating, I know.
The two apps I noticed this with were T-Mobile's My Account app and Zynga games (really??)
Here's the solution - uninstall the offending apps. That'll teach em!
Uninstalling works just fine, but for example when I install the older version of YouTube (which I prefer over the new) and restart my phone, the version it ships with is reinstalled.
Also, when I flash a zip that installs the apk into the system app folder, it gets wiped after a reboot.

I know that there were two files you had to remove to prevent reboots from reflashing stock recovery, I would imagine this is the same thing - problem is, I don't know what files to remove (I don't have the Note 2 yet so I can't go poking around to look for them)
But I am sure you can find/remove them.
This is why I stick with CM10, I can't stand the control T-Mobile and Samsung try to maintain on our devices
I can't find the info! BTW, the search function on the mobile app is not very good. Haha

there is no s-on or s-off for samsung, thats just a htc thing. you root, install cwm w/ Su and you're done.
Hello. When I am opening files or links it will ask me what app I would like to use, and even though I select "Always" afterwards it still prompts me again the next time I try the same action. Now I just hit "Just Once" in order to avoid that annoying "Clear defaults" message (Yes phone, I know where to clear defaults, you've told me a thousand times...). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
What Rom? Rooted or not?
Did you try the usual, turn it off and pull the battery, clean the odex left over files. ..etc?
Maybe some tweaks you did or a roque app you installed?
More information would be helpful.

Hello. It is rooted, but I'm pretty sure that this issue predates the rooting. I did it with a one click solution from here so I'm not sure what the rom is called. The screen shot attached should give you that info. Also, not sure what you mean by "clean the odex left over files". Thanks.

You are currently on the old stock Rom.
Go here and install the latest version UVBMD1:

Most likely that will fix your problem.

Does it matter which one I install (Factory Image, Odexed , Deodexed, Kernel, Modem)?
Also, can I just use ROM Manager from the app store o install it? Thanks.

It is up to you which one you want.
It looks to me that you didn't do this before, so my advice is to read, read, read and when you think you understand it READ everything all over again. We don't want you to brick your phone.
Go to Original Development section and learn how to flash Roms.
Good luck.

I've rooted and flashed roms before on my previous two LG phones and my tablet, I've just haven't seen them labeled like that before (Factory Image, Odexed , Deodexed, Kernel, Modem). My question is: Which is the best/easiest one to use for a newb like me (or a link to good thread that explains the difference)? Thanks.

I've been having the same issue.
T mobile note 2
Latest at&t Bean stalk Rom
Latest Devil kernel
No system apps are restored with tb
Basically no apps retain default settings
Examples
Facebook: does not retain dolphin as default browser
Handcent: does not retain quickpic as default gallery
This happens even if phone is not shut off. I can set them as default apps and at some point in the day they lose the setting. Happens whether clean install or dirty flash. Any ideas? If more info needed please advise.

I should add that some of my defaults work fine. I use different text editors to work on files from different apps and never have any issues with those. It seems to be mostly browsing issues on my phone.
whenever i try to select art runtime, my phone says it has to reboot to change libs, i select ok, it reboots, and that's it, it doesnt try to optimize apps or do anything else, and stays on dalvik runtime, even after a factory reset! my software number is 2.22.707.4
btw i already did it several time before and it used to work.
i had xposed installed i thought it might be the problem so i uninstalled it, but still, no art
any help pls?
Even tried the manual way via adb and it didn't work.
btw after factory reset i didn't install xposed!
Factory reset won't get rid of Xposed. And I think there is a proper way to uninstall it, but don't know it, cause I've never done it. ?
Yea it's exposed
There is a flashable zip that properly removes it
But I used an ruu
