Hi
is it possible to remove the opera mini that came installed with the stock ROM?
my device is rooted, and I can freeze the app but I would like to remove it. when I try to uninstall with titanium backup it says "failed to locate apk file".
thank you

Just use a root explorer to locate the file and delete.
thanks but I cant find the file, I tried system/app, system/vendor/app, data/app.
this is strange

I copied the file "Dina.apk" to my Epic 4g touch but it won't install. It goes through the motions then says, "Application not installed".

you need to put it in your system/App folder using root explorer and set permissions, it can't be installed using a package installer
I've tried this method on my GS2 with the provided file and I just can't get it to work. It did work with the MicrobesGl live wallpaper though.
Hello,
You can generate a CWM script to install all share and other apps here:

Did you set the right permissions?

I deleted the DigitalClock widget by accident. I know there's plenty in market, but I liked the stock one. Anyway, I have the .apk, moved the .apk to /system/app with Root Explorer and changed the permissions (now it's rw-r--r--). But still, when trying to install, the message "Application not installed" appears.

when the app is moved into the system/app folder it is then installed, no need running the .apk through a package installer because youll just get the "Application not installed" error, this is because your trying to install a system app which is what the apk is and not a standard installable app.
once moved into the system/app folder and permissions set, check your widgets if not there do a reboot then check again, if its still not there then your doing something wrong or setting the wrong permissions.
If it's not installing, could it be because it's a Samsung app? For example the stock camera, phone and messaging apps just won't install when I'm on CM7. So I'm assuming the same is true for Allshare, though I may be wrong.

Thanks, tried all but the widget won't appear on the list. I guess something is wrong with the .apk then.

Samsung apps will only work on Samsung ROMs unless modded to work on ALL Android devices just like any other app specific to any other ROM
The app in this thread is odexed and for thus wont work with most ROMs as these are deodexed.

Keeps telling I can't copy to the folder because it is read only....
imediashare from play store is much better than all share, has built in HD channels and can show your youtube and facebook vids/photo/music

Tab 2 7.0 no file copy
I took down the Dnla.zip, renamed it to Dnla.apk and moved it to my Tab 2 7.0. Then I used ES File and tried to move it to Root/System /App but it fails. I understand I need to change permissions for this. How do I accomplish this without rooting the device?

Hello I am using Xperia Arc with 2.3.4 rooted
I want to hide my camera application
before 2.3.4 update I used to hide camera app using smart bar(in application manager there is app called camera). It worked successfully
But after 2.3.4 upgrade there is additional app named Camera 3D along with default Camera . The problem is that Camera 3D is not visible in application manager of smart bar. So I cannot use above method to hide it. Is there any simple way to hide Camera 3d ?
I think following method might work. Please correct me if I am wrong as I am nob to this stuff !!
1)in the file manager I found there are 3 camera related apks in /system/app folder viz semcCamera3D.apk,semcCameraUI. apk,CameraExtentionPermission.apk
2)I think if I delete semcCamera3D.apk ,camera 3D will disappear permanently . I am correct ? Is it safe to remove semcCamera3D.apk?
3)adao file manager says I do not have permissions to delete files in /system/app . Even when my arc is rooted. Is there any free gui app like Root explore to delete such system apps?
Sounds like you're not rooted to me.. But why would you want to hide/ remove it anyway?!?? If you do then try using Titanium Backup to freeze it.

IF you are ROOT user,then thear up right corner is button "mount r/w, mount r/o"
Push "mount r/w" and you are abel to delete all what you want. But alway make before BACKUP to file what you want to delete.

In my haste on my freshly rooted Nexus, I used Titanium Backup to uninstall some apps I don't use that I know I can get from the market if I ever wanted them, but I got a bit quick and uninstalled the stock Email app instead of freeze it (in case I ever wanted to use it). I did a factory reset but that doesn't bring it back so my question is, can anyone post the apk and tell me where to put it to get it back? I think the proper location is /system/app, is that correct? Thanks.
Yep, /system/app. There are two APKs with the Email icon: EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk. I've attached both as a ZIP.
Thanks a lot!
OK so I'm still a bit new to this. I used root explorer to mount /system/app as r/w and changed the permissions on the EmailGoogle.apk to rwxr--r--. I already have ExchangeGoogle.apk. I have enabled "allow non-market apps" in my settings but I'm still getting "application not installed" when i try to install it. What am I missing? I used the RootToolkit to unlock and root my Galaxy Nexus, but I do have some experience using adb from the past with rooting my Droid. Do I need adb to install this?

You won't be able to install it, just use a root explorer (such as ES File Explorer) to manually copy the file to /system/app, it should then show up as installed.
Ah ok. I did a reboot and it's still not in my app drawer.

I wasn't thinking; you'll need the ODEX as well. I've attached both files, just copy them both into /system/app and let me know if that works.
That did it! Excellent!

you cant install system apps like that ..you have to get the original gallery.apk and place (copy paste using any file explorer) it in the system/app directory ..after that you have to set permisiions to rw-r-r using a root explorer and reboot..
use ES file explorer for all this stuff... it works as a root explorer as well....

check google play for system app installer. its the easiest method if you dont want to go through the crap of installing the apps the more technical way.

I think u misunderstood , u just have to copy paste the app in system/app directory..after that just set permissions u don't have to install the app after that and if you don't try to install this app you wont get that error message , and after u set permission just reboot..
Btw, could u tell me the steps you are doing...?

Yes, done as you said.
First..copied the .apk file into system/app folder and setup permissions. and then reset to factory settings --> didn't work
then tried to same 2 steps and restarted the phone---> no luck.
i am unable to know what to do now.
I've an app on my Tab S that I downloaded from the Google Play store and want to have it on my other Tablet, however the app is no longer available on the Play Store. So is there a way to copy the app that's on my Tab S and load it onto my other Tablet?
Thanks

Pretty sure you will need root for that.
The .apk file should be in \data\app or possibly \system\app

I though you could make a back up with samsung-Kies and then pick the apk from the back up dir on your pc.
Thats what I did in the past and I'm not rooted.
Maybe I'm wrong but I see a lot of apk files in the back up dir.

That might work, I've never used Kies so I can't be sure. But all you need is the APK file, so if you can find it on your local PC then your good.

Just back it up with es file manager, zip it and send it via bluetooth..thats it
AnyShare from Lenovo (Link) is a nifty tool to send files from device to device. Have not tried it without root before maybe it works. You can send those app's apk that's already installed to another device.
All user installed apps are in \data\app and you don't need root to copy them out, just a file browser than can navigate to the folder. Some apps that are taken off the Play Store sometimes still appear in the All tab of the My Apps section so have a look there just in case.
