hi there,
I just searched the forum and couldn't find something...
is it possible to backup my existing stock-swype (for example as .apk) so that I can use it later on with e.g. CM7...?
I know that there's a swype beta, but this has an expiration date and I would like to continue to use my stock swype e.g. in CM7...
thank you very much...
Use something like Titanium Backup (IF YOU ARE ROOTED) and you can backup System apps.

ah, okay... didn't know, that swype easily is just a system-app. but that's nice.
so when I back it up via Titanium Backup, will I get an .apk, which I can use to install swype e.g. in CM7? will it work there?
If you back it up with Titanium you can restore it to any ROM you are using. Just restore the app and not the settings.
Other way is to go into system/app and copy the swype app and save it somewhere then you can install it by placing it in system/app of your new ROM and rebooting.

sounds promising! thank you!
On a side note titanium backup will most likely create a zip with your swipe apk in it if I remember correctly.

Getting Swype to work with some roms can be a pain in the arse. I recommend SlideIt from Market if you come across a rom which doesn't work with Swype easily. I've tested this with 4 different roms & it works perfectly with each, no dramas with install, no FC's. $6 well spent.

Why not the settings?
How do you generally know to restore with or without the settings?
Again, I searched but cannot seem to find this...
Well, I was trying to remove stock apps after I rooted my phone, I used to use Absolute System to do so(with my old samsung fit), but now I cannot seem remove stock apps, at all... most problem is with ASTRO FILE MANAGER, i cannot seem to remove it, AT ALL...

TIA!

Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox, System Cleanup ( you can find it here on XDA or Play Store) or using a Root Explorer - delete the apk files

So i should just directly delete the apk from the /system/app folder?
You should backup the folder on sdcard first

Titanium backup is probably the easiest way to do it.
►►►Titanium Backup Pro !! Urgent Help !! Accidentally deleted system app.
Hi guys,
I've Micromax A100 (ICS). I installed APEX LAUNCHER v1.01 and then i converted from user app to system app with the help of Titanium Backup Pro. Now i downloaded APEX v1.4 but unable to install as it saying, its system app, installation failed.
So i uninstalled APEX v1.01 by TBP, but again same error message, I tried converting to USER app, but it was taking so long time, then by mistake i deleted backup of APEX v1.01
Now I'm unable to RESTORE APEX v1 and also unable to install APEX v1.4 as it saying system app, installation not done.
Now what should i do ??? How can i completely remove APEX from ROM? Now its not showing under TBP.
Grab a root browser and go to system/app and delete from there. And don't delete random stuff . Find the right one and delete. U should mount as r/w.

In addition to Lifehacker7 recomendation, I'd look in data/data also for remnants
Furthermore, if you have a recovery, look up how to make an 'update zip' and potentially install it as a system app from recovery if both fail.

I did that, but there is no APEX app in that folder, only system apps are there.

See in data/app if there is any .odex file of apex launcher. If it's there, just delete it. Try installing now. It should work.

how to backup rom mt65XX with sp_flashtool ????
Hi Folks,
I want to backup all the system apps and remove the unnecessary apps which are running in background. Is it good to backup the system apps by copying the apk files from /system/app ?
Also is it good to remove an unwanted app from /system/app to delete a system app?

You can copy/paste them to your external storage, or the other and better way is to rename them with apk.bat in the end and thats it.

thanks for the clarification. If I want to remove the unnecessary system apps what is the better way? Just remove it from /system/app or any other method?

Hey I understood that removing system app may cause issues. I have tried Titanium backup tool but it stored the backup file in different extension instead of .apk

Titanium Backup can do that. Root is needed. Backup TouchWiz launcher apk and only restore data (not apk and data). The workspace files are similar in most versions of TouchWiz I haven't had issues but you need to also clear data first and a reboot may be needed after restore. Definitely need for application widgets.

Are you sure? Titannium backup can restore apps..but i don't want to restore apps, what i want is my apps to be exactly in the same order in app drawer.. and believe me i have a strange way that suites to me. I don't need them by type or name etc...
Yes if you do as I said, backup TouchWiz or the launcher you use and only restore data between flashing (not apk+data). I wouldn't have posted if I wasn't sure. I use the same method
