[Q] Deleting Bloatware after Perma-Root

So being the impatient soul I am, right after I got permanent root, I decided to jump into Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware. I was so impatient, that I totally forgot to backup the system apps I deleted to a backup folder on my SDcard, so now those apks are gone. My question is now, if an OTA becomes available, am I going to have problems again, just like with Paul's Goggles app?
If so, what do you suggest I do? I am guessing now that now root has been achieved, we can install those apps to the system just fine again. Can someone upload these apks for these system apps, so I just feel on the safe side and I have backups? I would greatly appreciate it...

Of course, if you don't see this as being a problem for the future, please tell me. It would make me feel a lot more secure about things. Thanks!

it shouldnt be a problem, you can re download those in the market

Goddamn it. Now I went to uninstall Email.apk to replace it with an old one that doesn't require remote security, but it keeps giving me an "Application not installed" error, even with the backup of the original.
How do I get it to install?!

You don't install system apps, you just move then into /system/app/

its likely if an OTA becomes available a dev will mod it to be flashable to rooted and modified /system/ devices

i would love to know how to get rid of the annoying [email protected]!*& adds

Okay, I feel much better now. Time to play around with this thing! So excited!

Yea if an ota comes out, it will be modded to update the system and skip files not found, if there is a patch.
So your good. I'm just waiting for custom recovery with nandbackup before I start messing n the system. I just hate setting up the phone all over after
And if all else fails you can fastboot flash system.img from the orig pc10img. Wiping all your data and formating ur system. Then updating to ota.

Just use Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps you want. Long click on the app, and an uninstall option will be there.

Mind describing how you removed? Frozen/Removed totally?
I'm using TB to freeze all the bloat-ware and unfreeze if required for some function. FYI.

Same thing happens to me. Using 4.0.2.A.0.42 Singapore Generic. When i remove the extra apps like AppXTra, McAfee, WhatsApp by making the icons start bouncing around using the bottom left button in apps list, or in settings > applications > manage applications, they always come back on the next reboot somehow.

Yes I uninstalled them like that and it didn't work. I used root explorer to delete the files and it also doesn't work. Not sure where these apps are coming from after being uninstalled. I updated via SEUS if it helps matters.

i got one app that came after i did..
back up LIVEware manager and uninstalled the next day i saw it again
but the other stuff theyre all gone..

Check my singature for the tutorial on how to remove them, if you do it like that they won't come back.

Erm I followed exactly..still comes back after reboot.

I rebooted mine at least 3 times on .42 and they never came back.
Really strange

They sit in /system/etc/product/applications/. Simply use Root Explorer (or any other root-enabled file manager) to delete them.
The usual bloat sits in /system/app/ but these ones are quite different.

I used the Generic Germany version via flashtool and this did not happen, but when I downgraded it for another reason and upgraded via SEUS to Generic Singapore, this problem happened. Does not seem to affect other versions thus far.

I think it's a Singapore firmware issue. I just flashed to 4.0.2.A.0.42 Singapore Generic and had the same issue with some bloatwares (e.g. Foursquare and UEFA apps) that I uninstalled using Titanium Backup. I had no such issues when I was on 4.0.1.A.0.283 Global Generic.
Edit: The "stubborn" apps I've identified thus far are Foursquare, Foursquare for Timescape, appXtra, Xperia Hot Shots and UEFA.com app. Tried uninstalling via 3rd party uninstallers but to no avail. Other bloatwares like Let's Golf and OfficeSuite are ok (i.e. remains uninstalled).

Previously, I had the same issue of the bloatwares coming back after upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 Singapore generic rom. What i did was to repair it using SEUS which will wipe out the phone data. After that, simply uninstall those bloatwares using the normal method and perform a reboot to confirm they are gone before proceed to root.

I have no problem removing those system apps by moving them to the SDCard, apps like Data Monitor or Data Switch and after many reboots, they never come back.
Guess you need to remove them from the System/app folder.

Have you tried removing them from /system/etc/product/applications/ location? (From one of the previous post)
I found 4 apps sit there, but interestingly I didn't get them installed back when I uninstalled them via TB !! With same Singapore Firmware!! (Just as a precaution, I removed them from the above said location).

I found only 4 apks hiding in the /system/etc/product/applications/ folder, 2 x UEFA apps, McAfee and Xperia Hot Shots. Removed them from the folder using Root Explorer, rebooted and true enough, those apps are no longer "re-installed".
But Foursquare, Foursquare for Timescape and appXtra are still being automatically reinstalled after the reboot. I searched and found the apks located in the /data/app folder. Removed them using Root Explorer, rebooted but the apps are still automatically "re-installed" after that.
Searched the /system/app folder but the apks were not there. Any idea where else the apks for Foursquare, Foursquare for Timescape and appXtra might be hiding?

Like I mentioned it doesn't happen to me!! None of them reappeared for me and just as a precaution I removed from the above said location.

I'm having problems with these too. I can locate the files but Root Explorer cannot change the permissions of the files from 'Read Only', meaning I can't delete them.

[UPDATED 11/1/2012] [Exclusive] Unreleased Gmail 4.2 APK With Pinch-To-Zoom

Now that the dump is out, im hosting the gmail apk again! enjoy!
here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

Does this pre-release version supercede future Gmail updates?
Thanks for the update. Love the new pinch-to-zoom feature! (BTW, swipe to "archive or delete" always archives for me. Can't figure out how to choose delete, instead.)
Question: Now that I have this pre-release Gmail2.apk installed, does this mean that I won't get any more Production releases of the Gmail app? (After all, I uninstalled the original Gmail app with Titanium Backup before I installed the new Gmail2.apk.) Once Gmail 4.2 is formally released, should I uninstall the Gmail2.apk and re-install the deleted Gmail.apk? (Will that work using TB?)

As of now gmail won't appear in your play store. Once it's released to the public, you should be able to uninstall the leak and just download the new one from the store.

[Request] Secret Flag Modified Google Search Apk

Question is, can someone modify the apk as below???
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-enable-voice-prompt-in-search-results-video/
Turns out, there's a secret flag within Search that lets you use the hotword, set by default to 'Google,' anywhere in search results instead of just the home Activity. By default, Search will let you say "Google" to activate voice input only in the main Search screen, after which you'd have to tap the Back button in order to use it again. It's nice, but it's not very fluid, as you have to keep touching your device.
The secret flag enables it in search results, so you can perform search after search after search without ever touching your phone or tablet.
As for the technical details, the flag is located in res/values/bools and is called hotword_from_results. To activate it, one would flip it from false to true, like so:
<bool name="hotword_from_results">true</bool>

I decompiled, made the above changes, recompiled with no errors, and got it to install but it force closes every time i try to open it. Maybe someone else can provide some insight. I used AutoAPKTool to make the edits

Cans someone resolve this? I'd do it myself but having tons of trouble getting my device to show on adb (after many tries, different methods)

I tried to make an Xposed module to patch it on the fly, but it is not working:
Code:
resparam.res.setReplacement("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "boolean", "hotword_from_results", true);
upon starting the module, I get "Resource$NotFoundException", I tried other forms of the setReplacement method but none worked. I am still new to Xposed, so maybe I am doing this in a wrong way, attached are the sources of the Eclipse project in case someone can make it work.

If someone have the source of google now apk i can do something
I don't know if it's available, or also can be made from decompiling and recompile

Yes but i was in the company desktop and here i don't have acess to apktool just because my company restricts the download site as dev host rapid share etc. now at home i had decompiled changed from false to true and recompiled and signed etc etc.. so i tested and the behaviour is the same are you guys sure that it's only change to do?! i think i had all perfect if you want i can upload the "modded apk"
EDIT: it doesn't work i don't know why here is the decompiled files and its true, i recompile sign and check manifest and all ok, but after install the behavior its the same

I just modded this and got it running w/o issue.
I'm on CM 10.2 so I had to do some adjusting as there was an update installed to /data/app, with the original in /system/app.
I just uninstalled the update via the Play Store, and then moved the original (for CM it's QuickSearchBox.apk to QuickSearchBox.apk.bak), and adb pushed the newly modded apk (attached), to /system/app.
After doing all that, BOOM goes the dynamite.
Works for me, YMMV.

Are you rooted? I needed to make this a system app, as mentioned, to avoid signature conflicts, etc.
If so, I can make a zip to install to /system/app for you. I don't think it will work (as you have discovered), if you try and install as a standard app to /data/app, which is what clicking the download link and attempting to install is doing.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

Here's a flashable zip. Though, because it has to place the APK in the /system/ folder (partition), the zip (out of the box), is only likely to work on the Nexus 4, since mount points are going to differ by phone. Any other phone you'll have to modify the script.
As mentioned previously, if you want to try and flash, FIRST, be sure to uninstall 'Google Search' from the play store.
Since I don't think there is a way to move a file in edify, and I'm too lazy to include a shell script to run a move command, I instead delete QuickSearchBox.apk if it is in your /system/app/ folder (instead of backing it up if you want to restore later), and then copy over qs.apk (the modded version).
I restored to original, ran the above process on CM 10.2, and got the results expected / desired (i.e. the attached zip is confirmed working in my setup).

It works on PA 3.99. However you'll need to set voice to US English or it won't work.

[Q] Camera not working

Hey gus,
today my Camera suddenly stopped working properly. When i try to use dual mode or start taking a video, the app suddenly crashes.
I already tried a factory reset. After that I could not even find the app installed, it disappeared. When I reinstalled it (backuped the apk before reset) I got the same issue: dual mode and videos not working. The phone was rooted and I used the camera mod that sets the 1080p framerate to to 60 fps, but the camera worked properly until today. In addition to that the media profiles xml should be original again since I did a factory reset, so this should not be the problem.
Anyone pls help me.

Maybe someone can upload his/her camera files so I can try installing another apk? Its possible I got a damaged apk or so..

When you change something in protected area i.e. system you change it for good. No matter how many factory resets you do it would stay the same. Applying camera mod involved modifying mediaprofile.xml that is in system/etc folder. Only way to fix it would be to grab the stock mediaprofile.xml and put it back in the system/etc folder.
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I guess I'm not the only one having issue with the camera mods. I changed framerate to 1080p60, but got worse results and the phone got stuck on the boot screen. Had to use the flashtool to go back to stock. If your phone boots, restore the xml as previously mentioned. Im curious, which version of the G3 do you have?

Thanks for your answers
@enaybee: could you please upload your original file? I just dud a backup of the apk, forgot the media profiles.

Thanks man, now I just need to reinstall it as a system app, can you explain what i have to do? I put it in the priv-apps folder and etc folder, rebooted, but nothing happened

Just grab the mediaprofile.xml and place it inside /system/etc directory with the help of any file explorer that gives you access to system folder (requires root) like root explorer or es explorer. Make sure stock file replaces the modified file. Reboot and that should take care of the issue if it was only caused by the mod.

I already did this with es explorer, set the permissions to rw r r and rebooted, all files are in the right folders.
Still no camera app

Maybe it doesnt work because we got different phone versions?
I checked the model number and it says D-855
Edit:I dont know why, but suddenly the app appeared in my drawer. Problem solved, thanks alot for your help [emoji106]
