Deleting system apps - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I used Sgs tools to do a camera hack and now my camera is screwed always force closes...
I have my old cmeras apk but I can't install it wouldn't let me.
Do I have to uninstall the order camera so I can install this?
And how?

If you can mount your sd card to your computer, then go to /system/app these are your system file apps. You can manually put the .apk file in there, but then you have to use something like Androzip to actually install (just finding it in /system/app and clicking on it will install it, or use the default Files app.)

Duddeee! Thanks in did what you said but with root explorer and now everhthings fine. I thanks man!

Ok this might be a stupid question but is there anyway to make this work on the mytouch 4g ? I moved from the vibrant to the 4g and I really dont want to use a normal task killer . I really liked how this worked . Thanks in advance !
Will this work on axura 2.2.5.7?
Update: I tried to install this but it didn't work. :-(

I downloaded and installed it right from this thread....didn't use root explorer. What is the correct way to install this, if mine was wrong.

Root Explorer or adb push to /system/app. Don't try to install like a normal app.
I just installed root explorer. Is this [LINK] a good tutorial on how to use RootExplorer... I couldn't find a step by step tutorial on xda.
root explorer is easy to use.
its just like using the stock files, but you can see other things that require root.
if your installing a app, and it won't let you install by just clicking it, then you go to the file, menu, copy/move, then go to system/app/ then paste/move it there, and then get out of that app, and in your app drawer, the app should be installed.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod on my Vibrant, and trying to get this APK installed. Using Root Explorer, I copied/pasted the APK to the system/app directory, but this didn't do anything.
Other things I tried:
- Opening all permissions to the APK that is in the system/app directory
- Rebooting
- Verifying that "allow non-market apps" is checked
- Using Root Explorer to browse to app, selecting it and choosing "install"
Nothing is working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this an incompatibility between the Task Manager "JobManager.apk" and Cyanogen?
Thanks in advance for anyone's advice.

More than likely, its an incompatibility issue between I'm assuming a 2.2 ROM and a CM7 which is 2.3.

Help Downloading "Add-ons" for Bionix v5?

I just downloaded Bionix v5 and at the bottom of the original post it says "add-ons" I would really like to have the Swype app since I do not like the one I currently have but Im not sure how I download those add-ons to my phone. Can someone just give me a quick explanation on how to download them?
Thanks!
Swype comes with bionix.

he means the newer one.
theres plenty of links on these forums, and you must go to system/app/ and delete anything with swype
then system/lib/
and delete swypecore.so or lib something like that.
then reboot.
then install the new swype.apk you found.
then use the swype installer to generate a licesnse and then validate it, and get the language packs.

Yes but not a good version. He says it is a better version and I would also like the wifi calling app but I don't know where to download these apps, whether it be to the sd card or what

ok so i managed to successfully download wifi calling. i went to put the swype and avatar app on my phone and when i opened astro and clicked on the app it says "application not installed". it does this for both avatar.apk and swype.apk and im not sure what to do. any ideas?

You don't run the .apk. Just move them to the right folder. /system/app/ I think that's it. Then you can open it from the app drawer.

that + you'll probably need to change the permissions on avatar.apk (I had to do this very recently).
AFAIK, you can't use astro to change permissions (or I at least gave up trying to figure that out). Instead I had to get Root Explorer (~$4.00 or so) so I could change the permissions on the things that needed to go in system/apps.
IIRC, for avatar, you'll need to set the permissions to rw-r-r then reboot before it'll show up in the app drawer on your phone.
I just flashed the zips and they installed.

[Q] Intsalling leaked ICS Google Music App

I can't seem to side load this app. It side loads on my phone just fine but the app didn't come on my phone like it comes pre-loaded on our tabs. I tried installing via adb and root explorer. If anyone figures it out, please share.

hey,
that method leads to FC's and installing the apk leads to app not being installed.

The same thing happens to me when I try to install the Swype app....
Thanks for the link. How the heck do I get it to work without the constant force closes?
make sure it's named vendor.apk and change permissions to fit the other system apps.
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)

Done!

Thanks for the market tips. Everything worked fine. My biggest problem is with the swype. f/c's start when I reboot phone. Running CM stable for vibrant. Don't know how to fix...
Good news, I updated to CM nightly 168 and the FC problem stopped for now.

If you having problems installing the swype apk... you can use Ti backup to uninstall swype, then reboot (important). install swype directly through "files" app or "my files". Worked for me!!
you guys realize that swype updates itself through the settings>input>swype settings> ..
right??? I guess its after the last update mines been updating
Any themes around?

Can I delete google now on MIUI?

I am running MIUI on CDMA and I do not like Google search w. Google now. I used root unisntaller to delete the app off the ROM and installed an .apk I had saved. The problem is when I reboot my phone the original app restores is there a way to permanently keep it the way I want it?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Try this. Go into system/ app folder click on the apk's properties and uncheck all the permissions then delete apk and reboot. Let me know if that helps.
