Can someone say to me how can i replace an app with update.zip??
I want to replace the music app that is on the phone with another kind of music app... how can i do it?
in this case, you need to forget about update.zip
1. root your phone
2. get a file explorer. like root explorer or astro
3.a. find the .apk file that relates to the app you want to uninstall OR
3.b. use titanium backup to freeze or remove the app
4. install the new one
Which app are you trying to uninstall? and are you sure it's safe to uninstall it?
hope this helps
Sorry, but i know that is possible to do.
In fact, during the first installation of CM7 for the Galaxy GIO, there were a lot of apps, and then the developers released an update (update.zip). When i flashed this zip, the old apps has unistalled and there were new different apps. So?
while updating if u wipe data(factory reset) then all your previous apps will be gone. mostly in updates u need to wipe just cache and dalvik. so the apps will stay. you can use titanium backup to backup your apps + app data and restore them after updating

I'm still confused as to whether u have root and what phone your using ??
(I'm assuming your using the GIO?)
If u have already done what u wanted to do, how did u do it?

I think we should be posted about this on XDA forums, not your own website, as to help with other XDA members since it would be available to a much bigger userbase on XDA.

Hi
Finally - first post after just reading the forum, and for good start it's kind of how to questions.
So, as mentioned in the topic I need to restore standard TW Launcher on my device, at the moment it is broken thanks to my noobish operations. I tried to replace TW with the modded TW4.5.
TW4.5 doesn't work on my gs2 and to install it I just deleted the stock one. I made a copy of standard apk, but nothing happend when I copy it back into system/app directory. It also won't to be installed.
Now I use GO Launcher and I'm happy with it but the thought that standard one doesn't work make feel strange.
Please help
I had the same issue last night but got TW4.5 working fine in the end. However i did end up going back to the original anyway (some widget bugs that i probably could have sorted but couldnt be bothered -.-').
The way i got my original TW back was as follows:
1) Put the original touchwiz30.apk file and the .odex file back into /system/app.
2) Delete the Touchwiz4.apk
3) Try install the old launcher only to be told "Application not installed".
4) Reboot the phone and it should let you use the normal launcher again, use Home Switcher if youve set the other as default.
Hope this helps

Thanks a lot mate, this is what I actually thought, cuz it's simple and the most logical at all, but I lost my mind with this mess, so can I ask you/anyone for a favor to upload/send on email both of these files, please?

edit:
Problem's solved, I made silly mistake - I didn't recognize that the root uninstaller app did add the '2.3.3' phrase between file name and file extension.
U helped a lot by posting the correct file name.
Thanks
Thanks for the question I have the same problem.
can u post ur stock files cuz i ****ed up and didnt take backup plz?
Srry for lag, havent seen it. I'll upload it tommorow from work or if u need it earlier I suggest to download a rom based on stock one and you will find it (there's stock tw in villain rom for sure).

Anyone knows because I want to switch to minicm but afraid to lose all my apps?
Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk
maybe you must use titanium backup or romtoolbox,before you switch rom,backup all of your data,and after switch to new rom you can restore all of them.
easy method you can backup all app with rootexplorer,just copy from data/app to sdcard, and after switch rom,reinstall what you need from there.
But roms have 10app2sd file in unit.d folder that links app folder to sdext. If someone could make userinit that every boot check that there is app2sd file and delete it and check for link2sd file in unit.d folder and copy there I will be nice.

Did you go into system-app-livewallpaperspicker.apk or livewallpapers.apk and delete that, or did you uninstall a live wallpaper? Or maybe turn off scrollable wallpaper? Because I don't remember any CM7 theamed live wallpapers... what ROM are you using? Why don't you just get some flowery live wallpaper from the market?

"Some flowery live wallpaper from the market?" - Dude, that's just being straight up sexist. GTFO the forums if that's how you're gonna act.
Nisha: Download Titanium Backup from the market, Back up all your apps and reflash the rom. You can use Titanium to restore your apps to the exact same state they were when backed up.
As to the file you deleted, was it an app? Or was it in a system folder or what? Where did you find that file?

Which file did you delete??If you don't know,just copy the zip of your rom to your PC.Open the zip and go to system/app.Then compare the files in the same folder in your system app with a root explorer.See which file you deleted.Now,if you found which one you deleted,copy that apk file to your SD card.Make it a system app and give it the correct perms.I can't give you the perms because i don't know the app you are using...This is pretty much the only thing you can do because you don't want to reflash
Also guys..I would like to remind you guys that profanity is not allowed in xda
Awesome...it worked...thanks alot.

Well, if it was the apk of the wallpaper that you deleted, then you can just download it from the market. Just remember the name or something. Since you deleted the apk itself, then you might have to "uninstall" it from the list of applications then proceed to reinstall.
Like I said, download titanium backup and back up all your apps. That way, no matter what happens to your phone, all your apps will be in the SD no matter what unless you format your SD.
hey man try this
it happens
try this it will help
Flash this
and the wallpaper will come back
have fun
Thanks sam...i got my wps back but am still missing that lovely lwp...can u plz help me with that as well? Sorry for demanding too much.

Lol..I havent seen many girls in XDA..
Hi, i'm new to the ROM building/editing stuff. I've read a lot about building ROM's from scratch, but thats not what i'm interested in. I would like to know if, and if i can how, i can edit an existing rom for the Samsung Infuse 4g such as the stock rom and replace stock apps. I want to just edit some of the system/apps like the stock launcher, stock messaging app, etc and replace them with different ones that i already have downloaded. I don't want to edit any of the really deep/internal stuff just the stock applications that are loaded on the phone. Pretty much i want to theme it i guess you could say. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advanced. I'm looking forward to working with custom ROM's.
bump. can anyone help a guy out??

How do you flash new rom on your samsung. Is it a .zip file and you flash it via cwm?

Assuming your file is a .zip file, you could just replace the applications you want (found in the "system/app" folder) on the zip, and sign it afterwards with a tool like AndroidSigner. It works for me
dsixda's kitchen
I haven't used this, but I have seen other ROM modders talk about this application called Kitchen (by dsixda). The link to the post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
From the looks of it, it fits your bill.
you have Output the /system and do some work like change themes and other stuff and their is guys in Android Development and Hacking>Android Software Development
First off, thanks for all your replies, I appreciate getting some assistance. To answer most questions, yes I have the rom as a .zip file and flash it with cwm. I will try to replace the apps I want and then look into signing it ( which I don't know a whole lot about, but ill Google it.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
Yeah so the apps are in /system/apps/ You can replace them easily, but You have to set good permisions

Just delete the com.htc.weather and the other things for weather that are all about the default "weather" for htc... And I cant find what Can i do... Can u help me ? (Sorry for my English..):good:
Thank u!
In future I highly recommend using Titanium Backup when deleting Android Apps from your phone or tablet because it's free and it gives you the ability to backup the App since once you delete it there is no chance of getting it back unless you can find the APK on the internet and with stock software that's very unlikely you could try contacting the manufacturer for the APK file but it's unlikely they will be able to give it to you so just use other weather software.
Which phone and which ROM do you use?
How did you delete the stuff? Usually these things should be protected.
King combra ics ;p
