Is there a way to update to system apps without consuming user memory? I updated facebook & Google maps and both of them consumed a few Mbs of user memory.
you can move them from /data/app to /system/app
then "rm * /data/dalvik-cache" and reboot

Hey! Can you please give a little more info about om how to do it? I'd really need that extra space ;D

Don't use this! This will remove everything in the current directory and it will remove /data/dalvik-cache. This might leave your phone in an bricked state, depending on the current directory.
I think what was meant, was
Code:
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*

palle14, the wiki pages contain some info on removing applications. That is, first moving them from /system/app to /data/app. What you need to do is the reverse as was explained by morning wood.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Xperia_X10_Mini_Deleting_Applications
I removed the two required .apks from /data/app to /system/app. Rebooted and used Titanium to do necessary dalvik cleaning. Nothing was removed incidentally. I rebooted again and started using the device. No problems and everything is running fine. Incidentally I gained around 8mb by removing the two .apks from data to system.
Another handy tip is to do this when you're finished (before you reboot)
Code:
busybox rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending
That will reset the Market app, which has the nice side effect of making it rescan all your installed apps, and thus making sure they're all attached to the market properly.
If you don't, you won't automatically get update notifications for any of the apps you've moved

Did you delete apps from system/app or moved to /data/app and then uninstalled it?
The correct way to remove default apps is to move then from system/app to data/app, reboot and the uninstall it opening settings/manage applications.
If you just deleted apps from system, its better to repair your phone with SEUS and remove stock apps with correct way. Believe me, I removed apps before without uninstalling then and system was sucking my battery very fast. Just make a repair, uninstalled things correctly and now my phone is so much better.
Wat is the need of removing the app make backup of that and replace wid the android default calendar...

Yes i think i have deleted directly from System/app :-(
but i think there is a way to install it with ADB no?
maybe i can put original SE calendar and remove again the correct way?

Did the "rm /system/app/Candendar.apk" and wondered why it didn't work.
The system keeps some files in memory and they survive the "rm" command. Fixed this by doing;
1. Setting> Applications > Manage Applications and removing all calendar named apps, (there were about 4 still including com.sonyericsson.calandar!)
2. Restart phone.
3. Copy standard Calendar and CalandarProvider across (I used scp and dropbear, you could do the same with adb or rootexplorer) Files are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9434204&postcount=2
4. Restart phone. (I didn't need to run the "install" command, files were "chmod 644" already)
Now have the standard calendar rather than the SE calendar!
Solved ! thanks
I need to know how to convert User apps to System apps. I know Titanium Backup can do it but I don't want to pay 7 bucks for the pro version.
Do I just move the APK from the /data/app to /system/app?
I am on a deodexed ROM so no odex files to move.
If I convert these user apps to system apps will it raise the OOM value? That's what I am after really.
GO Launcher gets killed way to easily. And while I am at it, I what to move GO SMS and Miren Browser if this will work.
If you have problems with Go Launcher quitting, then try the options called "System persistent" and "Prevent Force Close" in the app settings if you haven't tried that.
Yea I have that selected. The thing is, my phone doesn't have alot of memory. I have about 120 MB of ram with all apps closed and only about 40 MB free till android kills apps. So only really have about 80mb.

Friend see this app, can move to system, is good, see the oficial thread in samdroid
forum.samdroid.net/f10/apps2rom-root-move-your-updated-applications-system-rom-5690/
Once you move the apk to /system/app, remember to set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. I'm not sure if this will change the oom value or not, but I think it does. If it doesn't work, try V6 Supercharger & apply the bulletproof launcher. It may help with other memory issues as well. You can also "bulletproof" other apps, but I'm not quite sure how as I haven't played with those options.

maybe you have to generate the .odex files for those new system apps, you moved to system!
like this:
start your terminal emulator and type:
to change in the right directory
cd /system/app
use root rights with su and generate the data
su
dexopt-wrapper Vending.apk Vending.odex
or
dexopt-wrapper YouTube.apk YouTube.odex
and dont forget to set the read write permissions the right way
no reboot and wipe the dalvik cache!
For those not converted apps, how did you convert them?
.. maybe really try to move them not with /system/app mover, but by copy pasting them in a file explorer.

Troubles in Making user apps as system apps

HI, and first of all, wanna give a head's up and mention that I'm relatively new to the Droid world...
I have installed MiniCM7Pro over a stock kernel, but my question is, how can I remove the DSP Manager that comes along the rom?
Btw, how can we replace, for instance, the contacts app with GO Contacts?
Thanks in advance!
You can remove dps with titanium backup,search for it on market its a free apk, and I think you can replace the contact apk without problems
Well, Titanium didn't uninstalled DSP Manager, thru that force uninstall option... so, still listening to more ideas...

try using flash tool. post number 8 is how you can uninstall system apps
Flastool Guide
hit thanks to the op and devs if it helped you
Thats strange cause everytime I update my minicm rom I delete dsp with tb. You can other way, with root explorer apk, go to system/app & just delete dsp, then reboot your phone and voila
Use Link2SD
Link2SD is an app with the basic purpose of moving apps from phone memory to an ext partition on SD card. But apart from that, the app can also manage applications, like uninstalling and freezing them.
I use Link2SD only to uninstall or freeze system apps. Its the free, clean and quick way of doing it...

dsp manager can be uninstalled with root explorer. Search in system/app for the app, and in data/data for the data folder corresponding to it (I don't remember it's name, but is like com-dspmanager-something ) and delete both files, then reboot.
About go contacts, phone.apk can be uninstalled in the same way, but is under your own risk. Anyways, keep a backup of your files
works perfectly with root explorer thanks!
For some strange reason, Root Explorer didnt work for me. I had to use Terminal Emulator
(Pre-installed or from the Play Store)
Code:
su (ENTER)
mount -o remount rw /system (ENTER)
rm system/app/DSPManager.apk (ENTER)
That method worked fine for me...
But sometimes, a simple reboot and then using root explorer also worked
Hi
Recently I uninstalled PowerAmp. However, when I tried to reinstall an upgraded version of it, I can't as the installer came out with the out of space error. However, the problem is that I have enough space in my phone. (Confirm have space one). I also tried installing different versions of the apk but it still doesn't work. Other bigger apps apk work fine except all the different version of PowerAmp.
Here's a catlog at the bottom.

Go to data/app, delete com.maxmzp(poweramp) ...... something along that line. I can't remember the full name. So find the filename in data/app that has the same app as what you're trying to install
Root explorer
Go to /data/app
Del this line
com.maxmpz.audioplayer-1.odex
I have the same issue but with maildroid.
Any suggestions?

Uninstall whatever installed maildroid.
Delete maildroid.odex located in data/app.
Reinstall ...Done.
To everyone asking what to do with other apps. If you did a patch to that app, there might be a .Odex created in data /app as said above. Just go there and delete it.
Applies to ALL APPS

go to your File Manager and select your Ext. SDcard. delete some unused and unnecessary files to free the space on your ext. sdcard. Install it again, it will work.
Hi,
I deleted some applications from /system/app from console (adb shell rm /system/app/...) but they still in my apps list .
I can see their names in launcher menu .. but without proper icons , just default android icon placeholders.
Should I remove something else besides apk from /system/app ?
Also I see these packages in
pm list packages
but the apk files non exists in same time.
rm [path_to_package] - no such file
pm uninstall [pakage] - Failure
I found the solution. All related data in /data/data/[package-name] should be deleted also. Then reboot and now everything is ok. :victory:
just do clear data of launcher. in setting>apps
deleted apps will not be shown.

clear data will wipe all configuration and is a last resort. usually relaunching the launcher or rebooting the phone will do. Corpse files can be manually removed or via an app like SDmaid.
