So.
Being a new android user, I messed around with my phone without a full understanding of what would happen if i uninstalled a core application. I assumed incorrectly that Titanium Backup would allow me to reinstall applications, and then uninstalled the stock clock application thinking that it was one of the many clock widgets.
Could someone upload their stock Clock application apk here, or advise me as to how I can restore the stock clock (preferably without having to flash the original ROM)?

Here. I backup all of the apk that I want to remove. Hope this is what you want.
Is this the stock clock application, like the one used for alarms and such?
EDIT: I attempted to install ClockPackage.apk anyway by using Root explorer, and then moving the apk to /system/app and installing it from there, but it says 'Application not installed.' Am I doing something wrong?

This is for clock, alarm, stopwatch etc. Put the apk on the root of your sd card and install from there. Don have to move it to system/app.

LOL YOU DID THE SAME THING AS ME. (except no one bothered to reply to my cries for help and I had to figure out everything myself)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070083
1)keep your clockpackage.apk in system/apps
2)download this .odex file
3)put the file in system/apps, remember to mount r/w in rootexplorer to enable pasting it in there, then mount r/o when finished
4)turn phone off.
5)turn phone on.
Mmmm, same here but I lost the weather widget due to samsung app update. Any one!

Did you add the odex file as explained above?
Yes i followed the guide as described. I have the odex and apk in system/apps folder. Funny, another clock widget im using is showing my next alarm.. but no alarmclock..
Followed the guide above, apk and odex showing in app system/app but still not available anywhere on the phone.
Anyone recommend a third party clockpackage from the market?
Used sgstools to kill my clock so used it to reinstall it to.
added a extra script,
echo "this will reverse the klok hack"
busybox cp -f /sdcard/sgstools/ClockPackage.apk /system/app/
(you might have to remove it fist if you have been messing around to get it working again)
I did the what the above guide said and could not find the app in the application menu. Help!
will reloading the stock firmware fix this issue?

I did the same thing, but when i restart my phone, the clock in not in the app drawer, when i go to TB, it is there, but with a line through it and it won't restore, all attempts to install the apk is failing too... what can i do?
The link for the odex file is down. Also, I'm trying to get this app working on CM7. Is that doable? I love CM, but a couple of the samsung apps are miles beyond what comes with Cyanogenmod - namely the clock, and the camera. I understand I can't swap the camera app, having looked into it, and I'm ok with that. The clock, however... I gotta have my samsung clock back!
Parse Error
I managed to get the ClockPackage.apk and the ClockPackage.odex from another device (running on 2.3.5 instead of 2.3.6) and now I get the following error while trying to install the apk:
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package"
Does anybody know what to do?
Contacts app backup please help
hi, I recently updated my sgs2 i9100p (NFS) to ics via kies. Its orange but I unlocked now 4.0.3 with baseband ver i9100PBVLP6. an orange bloatware called 'contact backup' irritated me so I decided to uninstall it with Titanium backup. but in a hurry I uninstalled stock contact app. now there is no contact and in every 5-10 second phone freezes and error msg comes-' unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped'. Please help.
AnalogClock.apk + ClockPackage.apk seem to work together.
I used SystemApp Remover to disable ClockPackage.apk, (thought it was a bunch of unnecessary Clock widgets), but stock Clocks package stopped working. I tried enabling it, copying ClockPackage.apk, and still could not. SuperSU logs indicated that all operations succeded normally, but it simply would not work.
I thought, maybe it messed up with program data, permissions, etc., so I removed/deleted both, restarted, then simply copied .apk file for both back. Only then it worked.

There are applications that access data, and there are applications that provide that data. For example, for contacts, you could have many applications that use it (Email, Messenger, Call Logs, etc), and one application that provides it. In case if you accidentally delete data provider (in your case contacts), and if that data provider is essential to running your phone, you will ruin your phone. You might be able to restore it, but I would recommend using Odin to flash correct official firmware. Search in forum "i9100 Android Development".

U are right. I think I uninstalled contact provider, the main contact app. I tried to find solution for all day but coudn't. Tried to flash original stock rom which I have downloaded (i9001PBVLP6) but odin didn't detect my phone in downloading mode. I had to make my phone work anyhow so I flashed Wanamlite 11 with cwm which is ok but not fully functioned on my nfc version sgs2 (now I know the importance of back-up). Now I want my original stock rom back. tried with cwm but didnt work, Odin doesnt detect my phone. any help regarding flashing this stock rom, please?
I have cleared all defaults and cleaned cache every time I set next launcher default and power off my phone it wants me to reselect a default launcher again and I didnt have this problem before I rooted my device with casual thanks for any help.
Yeah I have the same problem. Read somewhere we need to use rom toolbox and create a line like this.
ro.Home_App_ADJ=1
But it didnt say where to write it.

use root explorer , set your root to r/w and edit your build prop. add the line
Code:
ro.Home_App_ADJ=1
somewhere at the end of the build.prop. save your build.prop. set your root back to ro and reboot. Hopefully this works. Also Buzz Launcher is a good launcher that works, is free, and has alot of customizations.
Ok tried this and it doesn't work. Tried case sensitive letters also. Went into system, found build prop file, changed system to r/w wrote the line
ro.home_app_adj=1
saved line and rebooted. Still not working. Why ?

This is weird as i have never heard this one before. What rom/kernel are you running, and what modifications if any have you made to your phone as loading extra mods in recovery that over write the system.?
only other thing i can think of right off hand, is renaming the samsung setup to a .bak file so that it does not run. Not sure if this is even related with the next launcher.
Running rXTREME v9.0 rom with latest Boeffla kernel, And modded with Madtheme. From first bootup up of next launcher it has never been the default phone launcher. When rebooting It always has the choose launcher screen, with the option to "use always". Which doesnt save. And then asks to clear all defaults. Before finally loading. That line is the only option ive read for this problem. And it doesn't work for me.

hi,
i want to use my old SE Xperia ray as digital filo and need only basic funtions like
- the ability to install something calender app and live wallpaper
- wlan
- sync
what is save to remove from roms?
First of all, I don't really know what you mean by "digital filo", like a digital agenda or something like that? Either way, whatever you're going to do with it, choose what kind of applications you think you will need. If you will use it as a digital agenda you can rip the camera application, the browser, any music application, social media application(s) etc. This post might be able to help you to determine which applications are safe to remove.
How you remove the applications can be done in different ways, you could use a file explorer with root, you could use ADB, you could modify a ROM (ie. delete the files you won't need) and then flash it. Either way I'd recommend you to make a either a full backup of your system (Nandroid) or backup the application itself before deleting it.
Note: when deleting an application, also write down the permissions the file had.
I hope I've helped you in some way!

Thank you for the link explaining what filo meant, I Googled "filo" and didn't get any useful results, so thanks!
Other than that, the modem itself is necessary, because it doesn't only control the GSM radio, but also the WLAN radio. You're better off leaving such things and use the phone in airplane mode I think. You basically should be able to remove any application you want, just make sure you leave a launcher there and framework-res.apk (so you'll be able to use the phone) and of course any other applications that are of good use to you. Then again, take a look at the link I provided as it explains what each application does, I know it's not for the Xperia Ray but I think most of the applications will match the ones on the Ray.
sure it´s not for my ray but arc and ray are so close you can use most arc roms without problems on ray. :highfive:
then i will disable in TB all i think i can kill and see what happens.
thanks so far.
Jjdocter has already stripped a ROM down, I'll look it up for you

[Q] "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" message after loading modded setting APK
I tried to black out some things per this guide:
www [dot] gs5 [dot] wonderhowto [dot] com/how-to/black-out-system-apps-your-samsung-galaxy-s5-for-better-battery-life-0156502/
It involves replacing some original apk's with some modded black themed ones. I was stupid and didn't back up any of the original apk's. It was all for nothing as nothing got blacked out and the original apk's stuck, however, I can no longer access my settings. I get the "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." message every time I attempt to open the setting menu.
What should I do to fix this? I looked for the original SecSettings.apk for our phone to try and reverse what I had done and I could not find it online. Would this fix the problem? If so where can I find this? If not, what can I do?
Help would be greatly appreciated.

I assume you are rooted since you modified some apk's, without knowing which ones you changed and since you didn't save them to just put them back, you may want to run a nandroid assuming you have one and then just rename the apk's you want to change to .bak and then try again.

Only the Settings one got messed up and won't open. I didn't backup. I'm pretty much just looking for SecSettings.apk for T-Mo GS5 at this point. I can't think of another solution.

You you can download the stock tar for the version you are on and then unzip it and pull the apk from there and replace yours.

Download root Explorer, easiest one to use, goto where you changed the apk, long press on the apk you changed and set the permission to the same as all the others, look at the permissions of one you didn't mess with first and then set the permissions.

Your post didn't give us a lot of detail about how you went about the changes, which makes it difficult to provide targeted help. But probably if you wipe the cache from recovery mode, then go to the application manager in the settings menu and clear the cache and data for the system app in question, it will more than likely resolve the error message.
In the alternative, download the full stock firmware and extract the stock .apk so that you can revert to a stable system. And remember to make a backup next time.
Also, there are literally hundreds of threads on this subject, so I can only presume that you didn't bother searching before posting. A search should always be your first step since existing threads invariably have a wealth of information and in the majority of cases give you an immediate answer.
Good luck

Hello everyone.
I have an LG V30 US998 (former H931) and want to remove included system apps, such as google movies and tv, google music, chrome, facebook, and other apps which I use, but I always prefer to not have them as system apps. I'm rooted, and have used "System App Safe Remover" (used to be called root uninstaller) to remove this kind of apps for many years, on many different phones, and did mot need to be in a custom rom for this. Issue is, no matter how much I insist, apps are confirmed removed, but even if I reboot (app already has root granted) the apps are still there!
Does the LG V30 have some sort of encryption or something? I also tried batch uninstaller, same results. Tried going into the root system partition using FX Explorer root, and I am not able to delete any app (permission denied, even though I'm root and have granted access to fx).
Any tips? Do I have to use adb debloat (never used before)? What could be the reason? I have "force encrypt" in Magisk set to "off" if that helps. I also flashed the "disable dm verify" and "AK3 rctd" files (don't remember if this was in frankenstein thread or oreo root/unlock thread).
TLDR: How can I remove system apps from LG V30 stock Oreo (Yes, I'm aware of the risks)?

The risks are you will increase lag significantly and/or break functionality. Not like the old Android days where every apps (package) is in totally separate silo. Remove and it's gone. Now the software is all tied together. The phone will pause will looking for something before moving on.
You are NOT saving any USER space by removing SYSTEM apps. This is not something you can re-claim.
Similarly, if you use Chrome, what's wrong with having it as a system app? That's MORE space over on the user side for other stuff.
Simply FREEZE the system apps you don't wish to use with Titanium Backup. They will not run, will not be seen, but doing that will not create lag because you shot a hole in the LG firmware web.

If you remove something you didn't know the system needs, then you have to reinstall your firmware to fix the issue. FREEZING disables the app, and if you find you DO need it after all, you can easily unfreeze it.

Oh ok, thanks for the reply. Last phone I used also had Oreo, but same as LG V30, it wasn't the original OS, it got updated to it, I could still remove those apps. To me it was mostly the forced google apps, but if they really don't affect anything, then I guess I'll leave them there. Thanks.

There is a Magisk Module for it "Debloater" download that along with terminal
And in Terminal app
Command
su (it will prompt for root access)
Debloat (you'll get list of system apps you can remove)
You can select by entering number
Before doing so always backup your data and do it at your own risk ,you can disable the app if not remove that works for me

Ok. But let's say I removed Google Chrome and Gmail, would that affect anything? My idea is to not touch anything from LG...but I had the other reply saying I shouldn't remove anything nowadays.

Honestly I used to debloat way before Oreo often deleted apk's myself from system/app being lazy maybe Debloater removes an app properly but yes he's right even if you explore apps in system or data folder they are in folders now
If you are backed up and have the kdz thn give it a try I did saw someone using Debloater on Oreo/Pie though

But "way before Oreo" means probably on another phone?
There was two or three "debloater" threads going at one point, and people then kept asking in OTHER threads
"Why does AOD no longer work?"
"Why did my VoLTE stop working?"
"Why is my V30 so slow?"
MY V30 isn't slow. MY AOD works.
The common element it turned out was they all were debloating stuff just prior to these issues.
People just now getting this phone don't understand the modern firmware. Nothing is labeled "safe" and "dangerous" to remove. Everything is connected. If it's a system app, just freeze it.
Yes as I mentioned it was on previous versions of Android using explorer method The Debloater thing I came across among top Magisk module list which I had to look up for myself as in other thread I did ask for Magisk and Xposed compatible with V30 didn't get any response
Personally I don't think Removing Chrome or similar app could mess up entire system , one could give it a try in step by step manner
I am not aware if those other users removed some essential LG apps from system because even back in older days debloating if not done properly would often end up with system stopped working boot loop etc
