If you have FCs on your phone, try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode first.
To install apps, you do not need to copy the files into special folders.
Just click the apk file and select install.
The app will install from apk file automatically, if there is no "old" version installed and all required things (access, other apps, phone model, etc.) are available.
If you are not sure about installed apps, just check in settings menu: Settings > Applications.
Or use an app like Titanium Backup to manage your apps (+ app data).
oh please, im not a noob, i know how to install apks, i need to pre include them in my rom,
certain apks, for example "ChatOn", when i install it normaly it will work with no problem,
but when i put it in system/app it will force close when i first start the phone
the same goes with data/app

Did you delete apps from system/app or moved to /data/app and then uninstalled it?
The correct way to remove default apps is to move then from system/app to data/app, reboot and the uninstall it opening settings/manage applications.
If you just deleted apps from system, its better to repair your phone with SEUS and remove stock apps with correct way. Believe me, I removed apps before without uninstalling then and system was sucking my battery very fast. Just make a repair, uninstalled things correctly and now my phone is so much better.
Wat is the need of removing the app make backup of that and replace wid the android default calendar...

Yes i think i have deleted directly from System/app :-(
but i think there is a way to install it with ADB no?
maybe i can put original SE calendar and remove again the correct way?
I didn't try it, but I think u can...

Did the "rm /system/app/Candendar.apk" and wondered why it didn't work.
The system keeps some files in memory and they survive the "rm" command. Fixed this by doing;
1. Setting> Applications > Manage Applications and removing all calendar named apps, (there were about 4 still including com.sonyericsson.calandar!)
2. Restart phone.
3. Copy standard Calendar and CalandarProvider across (I used scp and dropbear, you could do the same with adb or rootexplorer) Files are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9434204&postcount=2
4. Restart phone. (I didn't need to run the "install" command, files were "chmod 644" already)
Now have the standard calendar rather than the SE calendar!
Solved ! thanks
I have tried copying .apk files into the apps and games sub-folders, but I guess it doesn't auto install them?
I thought that's what it did on the first boot, or something like that?
I am able to mess with the folder using Linda file manager or similar, wihtin android, to install the apps... I thought perhaps I am missing something to do the auto-install?
Am I incorrect about this assumption?
place the apk's in the root of the AndroidApp folder, not the sub folders
Thanks I will try that.
Is it a one time install, on the initial setup, or does it check and/or reinstall on every boot into android?
Also, does it delete the apk after installation?

It reinstalling the apps every time you boot android, if they are deleted.(if you had them uninstalled, off course)
No, it doesn't delete the apk after installation.

just a warning, i have noticed some 3d games wont intall properly from androidApps, (they fc when trying to open) these have to be installed manually by selected the apk i astro or a similiar app.
I need to know how to convert User apps to System apps. I know Titanium Backup can do it but I don't want to pay 7 bucks for the pro version.
Do I just move the APK from the /data/app to /system/app?
I am on a deodexed ROM so no odex files to move.
If I convert these user apps to system apps will it raise the OOM value? That's what I am after really.
GO Launcher gets killed way to easily. And while I am at it, I what to move GO SMS and Miren Browser if this will work.
If you have problems with Go Launcher quitting, then try the options called "System persistent" and "Prevent Force Close" in the app settings if you haven't tried that.
Yea I have that selected. The thing is, my phone doesn't have alot of memory. I have about 120 MB of ram with all apps closed and only about 40 MB free till android kills apps. So only really have about 80mb.

Friend see this app, can move to system, is good, see the oficial thread in samdroid
forum.samdroid.net/f10/apps2rom-root-move-your-updated-applications-system-rom-5690/
Once you move the apk to /system/app, remember to set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. I'm not sure if this will change the oom value or not, but I think it does. If it doesn't work, try V6 Supercharger & apply the bulletproof launcher. It may help with other memory issues as well. You can also "bulletproof" other apps, but I'm not quite sure how as I haven't played with those options.

maybe you have to generate the .odex files for those new system apps, you moved to system!
like this:
start your terminal emulator and type:
to change in the right directory
cd /system/app
use root rights with su and generate the data
su
dexopt-wrapper Vending.apk Vending.odex
or
dexopt-wrapper YouTube.apk YouTube.odex
and dont forget to set the read write permissions the right way
no reboot and wipe the dalvik cache!
For those not converted apps, how did you convert them?
.. maybe really try to move them not with /system/app mover, but by copy pasting them in a file explorer.

Troubles in Making user apps as system apps

Can I remove some soft from official rom completely by deleting apk in system folder?
I would like to free some ram
Can I install apk named UpdateMeSmartphone like is in source of icehybrid rom?
UpdateMe is useless on stock ROM, as it doesn't give you any updates.
UpdateMe is for custom ROM developers, so that ROM users can easily update directly from phone.
You can remove some system APKs, but be careful with what you remove. Removing needed files can result in some functions not working or even bootloop. Make backups
You can also use the free version of sd maid, it can uninstall stock apps along with its data

Before removing a sys app, freeze it. That way you can restore it if you get some error or problem.
Apps like Titanium Backup, system tuner etc. are able to remove/freeze system apps.
OR you may want to try this out using the flashtool
Requirements:
1. Rooted phone with sufficient battery.
2. Tick check to the following options on your phone settings: USB cable at debugging mode, stay awake, Unknown services (Under the application menu and the development sub-menu directly inside the application menu settings).
In the flashtool UI choose clean apk (garbage icon) pick this to pull out those apps suspected as bloatware on your ROM. Check the forum for safe to list apps to pull during your clean up.
Once you have the list refer to the second pic, it is the list of all the apps installed on your phone. Be sure to create a profile name which serves as your reference when you re-install (just incase) The rest is self explanatory bro.
Hi,
I'd like to know how to safely delete system or ROM pre-installed applications that don't offer an "Uninstall" option. I am rooted and running 5.0.2 on a Nexus 6. I know I could do this with Titanium or other similar apps but my point is to not install a specific app just for deleting apps if I can find the correct path/file from Root Explorer and remove it myself.
Thanks

from my experience the best that you can do is to use root explorer and goto system/app or system/priv-app and delete folder-app you do not need, then goto data/dalvik-cache, search for apk name and delete also program *.dex, so this is a clean method, make a reboot for clearing apk data !
It's safer to rename the app instead of deleting it... "freezing" apps often just add ".fro" to the app's name (whatever.apk.fro, for example) to keep it from appearing in your app launcher or loading. If anything goes wrong because of the "missing" app, you can easily restore it.
