Hi,
I used the system root, installed titanium backup, and froze yp mobile. After I rebooted I no longer see yp mobile in my apps, but it is still in my contacts. If I tap it, contacts crashes. How do I get rid of it here?

Thanks...I can't reply on that thread yet. Do I have to use root explorer? Is there a way with titanium backup since I already bought it?

Well if you are comfortable with ADB you can push it that way. But I don't know anyway to do this is TiBu. Root explorer is well worth the 4 dollars though. It will make this task extremely simple.
If you wanna play, Root Explorer is almost a must. Learning how to use some simple ADB commands won't hurt either.
For ADB start HERE. It'll give you some over view and direct you on getting it set up. Once you try it, you'll see how easy it is to use.

So I just installed Cognition X2 that comes with the Program Monitor apk uninstalled. I got the apk for it, but AppInstaller is not installing in on my phone.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I get it installed?
If you have Titanium and did a back up before you flashed the new ROM, you might be able to restore it through Titanium, it has worked for me with apps on my tablet.

I tried doing that but titanium kept on being stuck at restoring over and over.
I believe titanium only backup settings not the .apks itself?
I'm quite fond of the samsung accuweather & programing monitor widget also.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yep, when I try titanium backup it starts the restore process but never finishes it.
I think I got us the solution.

I saw that yesterday, but root explorer is a $$$ app. I was hoping for a free solution. Would Droid Explorer work??
any sort of explorer, that allows you to set permissions should do the trick
Got Root Explorer, it worked!

manually push it to /system/app with adb or put it on the sdcard and copy it over with a file manager.
edit:
nvm, i see you did that already

I see you went ahead and purchased root explorer. I've had root explorer since I first got my captivate, and it's an awsome and useful app. But for anyone who wants a free root file manager, there is one included in the free version of Super Manager by Gpc, which you can download in the market.
I recently got a Toshiba Thrive, and did the ota update not knowing it was going to ruin my chances at root (hopefully only for the time being) but I have a lot of themed apps I want to use on it, but they all need installed into the /system/apps folder because they were themed. None of them are actual system apps, but custom themed apps from the market. Is there any (free) apps from the market that corvert them or change their permissions that will do this right on an android device?
Test with Titanium Backup

Just tried that, I get "cannot convert to user app". I used metamorph to theme all of them.
Without root it won't allow to do this. TIBU failed because it needs root to do it. You are gonna be out of luck until you can root.

i know it won't work without root, I tried converting it on my rooted thunderbolt, I still got the same error.
Nevermind, I found out it wasn't working because I didn't sign them

Your tablet needs to be rooted to remove system apps. After that you should be able to use Titanium backup or any root explorer to remove the app.
Not working

Hi, I have already rooted my tab. When I try to use Titanium backup or Root explorer, it says that I cant remove the app because it's read only.
On a lighter note, I hate how my name has been "censored"

Interesting... Are you running a custom ROM, or stock? Second, when using Root Explorer, did you make sure to hit the itty bitty "Mount R/W" button at the top of the file list? Third, have you tried "freezing" the app with Titanium Backup instead of deleting, sometimes that works. Otherwise, you may have to try ADB to remove or rename the apk, or see if someone has a flashable zip for the custom maps apk you need.
Could anyone tell me how I can take an app from my old MT4G and put it on my Amaze?
Apparently the app is no longer available on the Market and I don't like any of the other options.
Thanks for any help.
Can you not back up your app using Titanium Backup, move your backup to your Amaze and use titanium to restore that one app? I'm new to Android but seems like an idea..
Or you can use root explorer, browse to your system/data partition and look for the app_name.apk file if you downloaded it or system/apps if the app came with the phone and look for the same file and copy that file to your memory card and install it on your new device normally or by placing it in the same folder you took it it out from on the old phone, though you'll need root privileges to do that on the new device.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I should have thought of that before.
Thanks. I'll give it a try now. Lol. I actually paid for TB I might as well use it.

I will try both ways. Would TB need root access on the new phone?

Depending if you're backing up the app+data or just the app, if it's just the app you won't need root access, but app+data will require root.

It's just the app, which if anyone is wondering is "Craigslist Notification".
One of the best free CL apps out there.
And I would know because I downloaded 6 different ones on the Amaze and didn't like ANY of them.
The ones with pictures had no prices, the one with prices had no pictures.
The ones that had both, had no "save" feature...so on and so forth.
So I still have the app on my old MT4G and just wanted to pull it off there and install it on the Amaze.
For some reason the app is no longer on the Market.
Thanks for all the help guys. I'm about to attempt to move the app now.
Will report back.
or if you have adb setup you can use:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/[I][COLOR="Red"]nameofapp[/COLOR][/I].apk
\
then you will find it in your computers user directory

It's not part of a ROM or system files guys, it's actually an app that was once available on the market, I used to use it at one point in time, so can you post the apk file when you pull it please OP.

So I'm back from the beach and burnt to a crisp BUT I got the app on my Amaze now!!! WOOT!!!!
Used Root Browser Lite on the MT4G to copy the apk from /data/app to /sdcard.
Then moved that apk on to my desktop.
Plugged in the Amaze and dropped it on the phone then used Astro File Manager to browse to the apk and install it.
Everything is working fine now and I have a copy of the apk on my computer if anything should ever happen.
Thanks a lot for all the help guys. I really really appreciate.
I can't live without this app. I LOVE getting deals on Craigslist.
And Dark, am I allowed to post the apk up?
I have the free version, so it's not a paid app.
Once it's a free app, there's nothing preventing you from posting it bro.

A lot of people use Titanium to freeze apps; not sure what's happening if they're coming back.
I, on the other hand, rename the apks in root explorer (change the name to camera.apk.bak, for example). Another viable (and easier) option is to find the app in settings -> app -> all and disable it. With both methods, they can easily be reenabled if the mood strikes you.
The stock kernel has write protection so if you delete apps they come back.
