I have installed several versions of CM7 and my only problem is the gallery. it really takes time to load. I have tried Forced Stop, Restart, and Did the Go Back procedure, same problem.
Wonder how I can fix it.
Did i miss anything?
you might need some script things as i am on custom stock using turboBoost by GadgetCheck+Sladimod3 and galley open faster than quickpic[reported as faster by users here]

1) Use root explorer (or any same kind of app)
2) go to data/app
3) Copy quickpic's apk file (Hint- take a look at the icons of the apk's, you'll easily understand which one is quickpic's file)
4) Paste it to system/app
5) Set permissions to
RW-
R--
R--
6) Exit from root explorer
7) Go to settings-> apps -> manage apps -> QUICKPIC -> uninstall
8) Reboot and enjoy

The SAFEST way to uninstall system apps is like this:
1. install root explorer
2. use it to go to /system/app
3. click on the mount RW button at the top
4. use multiselect to select all the crap you don't want
5. tap on "move" and go to /data/app
6. mount rw here too
7. paste. with passion.
8. reboot your phone
9. you'll see all those apps are now uninstallable through the application manager . use mini uninstaller though, it is much faster and nicer.^^
If you are a lazy bug, use titanium backup, but i warn you, this thing doesn't uninstall like it should be done, so remnants will remain for sure. most of the time it doesn't matter, but sometimes it can **** up your phone and display stupid force close errors. good day, sir.

What about free software?
Em... you don't seem to understand.. okay, there are two types of apps: system apps and user apps. the only difference is that system apps cannot be uninstalled. so, stock crapware,like trials and things SE doesn't want you to uninstall are marked as system apps. even if they are freeware. mini uninstaller displays all uninstallable apps, so if they appear there, they can be uninstalled. you can download it from the market.

That was the question. Root explorer is not free.
I have just tried to use "super manager", free in market, but with no succes.
If anyone can help me to use this program?. Thanks.
If only is the big question here ,maybe someday i'll invent an app that will uninstall without having to root the phone

I unistalled some apps with TB Pro, but noticed that Assassin Creed dwmoe still was there so I came here searching just to find out that TB it's not all that I think it was... :-$
But ok, at least I now know of this "mini uninstaller" and ran to the market, just to find out that was removed. :-\ :'(
Already googled but can't find it, if someone still have could please upload it here?
Try also absolute system tools not sure it it works without root but it might and have you tried searching the 4 shared site for mini uninstaller?

In any case you need a rooted phone.
The market has some free system app uninstallers you can try.
I dont remember which one I used since I uninstalled it when I finished getting rid of the system apps.
The X10 mini wiki contains instructions.
i use systemapp remover from market, works fine.

thanks for the file man but I'm having trouble installing it, I put it at sdcard then into /system folder, then changed permission and move to system/app/ then reboot. still not showing in home switcher. I even click on it and pressed 'install' but showing 'application not installed'. any other way to do it?

Rather then moving and setting permissions, why not just try to install like a normal app?
Tried just now and still no luck, I guess i'll have to stick w/ launcher pro then.

If both doesn't work, then you have final choice is to flash using SEUS. Make sure you backup your stuff before proceeding.

Are you shure that permissions were set right? Also, maybe SE home was "installed" but just not showing in home switcher (as I understood it is a third paty aplication?).
Maybe try to delete the default settings for launcher pro and then press home button. The dialog to chose home screen should appear.
the original app is called home.apk perhaps it needs to be called that?

Sorry to hijack this thread. But could a nice person please upload the talk.apk? I REALLY need it very fast.

Sounds like Chrome does not want to be installed as a system app then Is there some benefit to having an app installed as a system app? Or why do you want to have it installed as a system app?

OK I don't know how things work on phones outside of the HD2, but can't you just push the .apk to /system/app with a root explorer, fix permissions in CWM and reboot?
Try to use ADB to move it and remember to set permissions
You need to extract libchromeview.so from the Chrome APK (found at: com.android.chrome-1.apk/lib/armeabi-v7a/libchromeview.so) and move it to system/lib. Optionally, you can remove libchromeview.so from the Chrome APK and zipalign if you want to save a couple of MBs of space.
This worked for me on v. 0.18.4531.3636. I attempted this some time ago on an older version unsuccessfully. If you have an older version for some reason, you'll probably need to update.
Latest titanium backup update said something about fixing conversion in what's new

If I'm not mistaken system apps load first on boot and are often quicker at starting up than user apps. That's been my experience anyways. However a lot of em are more hassle to convert than the slight increase in speed is worth imho
Hi, can you please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong?
You see, using Root Explorer, I was able to remove the browser.apk (by moving to sd card) from /system/app, then got a quickics.apk, renamed it as browser.apk, then placed it unto /system/app, then changed the permission accordingly...
When I rebooted the phone, Android Starting App occurs but when I tap it to open, it force closes on me...
What am I doing wrong? or for that matter, is what I did or intention possible?

yes.. I am on ICS custom rom.. i just happen to like the quick ics browser more than the browser included in the custom rom.. thus I did that...
when I just left the stock browser and installed quick, there was no problem.. the problem just occurred when I tried replacing the stock browser...
i know this is not really "life or death" for me but for some reason, it just bothers me to have an app in my app list that I do not use... hehehe

No just copy it, fix permissions in root explorer and reboot. But don't rename it to browser.apk. Reboot and normally it should work?!
Hmm okay that's strange, are you using the latest version? Maybe delete it again, download it from playstore, install it and make it to a system app using titanium backup (there should be an option on titanium backup if the app is installed). Look if that maybe solves the problem
You should not replace the stock android browser.apk as it is integrated into the system and removing it or replacing it will probably result in force closures and your system might become unstable.
Just add the quickics.apk reboot into clockworkmod and select advanced and select fix permissions. No need to change permissions via root explorer if you have clockworkmod.
And Press thanks if I've helped you!

If it works as a non system app in your phone then it should work perfectly normal as a system app provided the permissions are set right and the stock browser isn't removed . I don't know where you are going wrong
Just to be correct about the permission part, The permission has to be set as ,
User rw-
Group r--
Others r--

Root your phone and install the Google gallery again.
Or look for the stock gallery on this forum.
If you don't want to root your phone backup what you can,and do a factory reset.

GoogleGallery.apkm is a system app..system apps are not meant to be installed..they are not signed so cannot be installed in the normal way..to use a system app you will need root...after you are rooted move the apk to /system/app forder and give rw-r--r-- permission and reboot..
