I know this may sound like a silly question but have you tried doing a wipe and reset from Recovery or settings menu? If you are looking to do more of a manual process the use an app like Root Explorer or ES File explorer. You may have to modify the permissions of the folder to Read/Write to delete files.
Click Thanks button if this helps.

Its solved , i re-stocked and made factory reset from there because i couldnt delete everything using cwm on toldos rom.

Request for some apps file

Hi guys,
I have recently make a wrong decision with my Gs2. I tried to use Titanium backup to change All Sharing and Social Hub as a User Application. And that result in these apps disappear from my phone. I tired to put the dlna.apk and social-hub.apk back to the "system/app" while nth new come back after a reboot. I think that's because i miss the odex file related to the apps. As I am using Offical Hong Kong Rom KG2, would somebody like to help me by uploading those files [dlna, social hub apk&odex]
Thanks

Thx for your help.
I have tried this list and put those apk in to system/app, yet the program have not come back even after a reboot.....
I use Root Explorer for installing .apk files.
Can you not download Social Hub and DNLA via Samsung Apps?

I got those APKs from the list you have posted.
And install them by using root explorer
My way to install is to move from sdcard to "/system/app"
I even changed the permission of the apks but still they don come back
thanks!

I never move them before installing - just put them on internal SD and install from there. Try it?

Try applications>manage applications>clear cache and maybe clear data for those apps if they are there.
Otherwise I'm out of ideas...

Good luck. Don't suppose you've got a full backup via CWM or you'd have reflashed it, right?

Attached are both apps' apk & odex files.
Hope it helps mate
I don't think you can install system files with root explorer, you need to flash it through recovery. I was having the same problem and flashing worked for me.

You just push them to the /system/app/ folder and reboot - that's all a recovery zip would do.
Thx Guys!!!!
My finally method was reflash the official rom..... that nearlly kill me as i have to reorder the application icon which take me an hour to finish that....
I don know how to use the recovery method but hope this post would help others who face the same problems.
Btw is there any apps to backup the order of icon in Application page? Rearranging them again is damn horrible if u got tons of apps......

[Q] remove stock auto installing apps

Hi guys, I tried the stock leaked ICS XXLPH but since then everytime I flash a rom it goes through "installing applications" which installs the photo editing, Polaris, Swype and IM apps as well as some others that I can't remember.
Is there any way of removing this? a way of wiping everything for a clean install. I searched the internal memory as well as the external SD card and could not find anything.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
You want a custom rom with those features removed Or
Remove Samsung Apps script .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108479
If the apps are on the SD card wipe the card .
jje
Why don't you try a custom ROM like resurrection? Most stock apps have been removed and only the useful ones left
Hi guys, that's the problem. I am trying ROMs that don't have these apps but for some reason they keep auto installing after the first boot of every rom I flash. I looked on the internal memory as well as my SD card and couldn't find anything that wasn't there before. I made sure that I wiped the data, cache and dalvik cace before and after flashing the rom but as soon as Android boots it goes through that process before presenting the set up wizard.

Yeah same as me, it happens here as well.
Anyone got any other ideas, its annoying.
I experienced this kind of trouble while using GB based ROMs.
After moving to the ICSs it never happened again.
Duh, ever heard of Google backup and restore......
Next time you wipe or flash new ROM, start reading what's on screen instead of clicking next next.....

Provider apps will auto install after the first boot .
Remove CSC.apk from the rom located system/apps .

You can disable system apps in ICS. I hope that's good enough.

Any way to permanently delete auto-install on first-boot, only takes a few mins to uninstall them all but its still annoying, Or would i have to check each rom i downloaded for the CSC.apk each time and remove it?
i never get those installation lol yesterday flashd lp9 ics an flashd back to gb my stock...
Those files are located on /preload folder on the root directory, you can delete those apps from that location.
Those files come along with stock Samsung roms, custom Roma and cm9 don't use the /preload block.

Try Home+Vol Down+Power to enter into Recovery>Install GApps.
no need to flash the entire gapps on your case
download the latest google play apk in the themes and apps section of optimus one
search ES file manager/explorer (forgot exact name) apk on google from your pc (legit because the app itself is free)
now move the two apks to ur phone with usb
DONT INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY
install es file manager
open root mode something like that and grant the app root permission
now copy and paste ur google play apk to /system/app
AND LONG PRESS IT, CHANGE PERMISSIONS to rw-r--r-- (as same as all other system apps in the same folder)
save permissions
reboot ur phone at this point
bam!! google play is now back there in ur app drawer
becareful next time and do backups before touching red buttons in TB next time, mate

Thank you so much Miasmic.
1. for getting my query resolved with detailed explanation
2. For getting me introduced to ES file explorer. Ive been diving into its utilities since then.
Update: For anyone trying out this solution, you shall find the option to give root permission to ES under ES settings, also make /system as mount to write.

Considering that flashing gapps from recovery takes about half a minute, I do not understand what this thread is about. Flash the zip and move on, what is the problem here?

1.playstore apk 3.5.19 i've moved it in system/app with ES File Explorer Manager
2.permissions change to rw -r -r
3.reboot
result nothing
i have Android 2.3.3 stock.
yes, the Optimus is rooted.
i didnt install Recovery.
my problems have started when i've changed the microsd card with a bigger one. i've made a copy of previous card but some native Android apps like playstore, maps,navigation just simply disappear but somehow maps and navi are back now.
later edit
until your answer i will prepare a backup if i will need to restore (factory reset).

Why can't you just do this?
1. Download Gapps from goo.im/gapps/.
2. Put the .zip on your SD Card.
3. Boot into recovery and clear your cache and Dalvik cache.
4. Flash the Gapps .zip and reboot.
And you're done.

Do you use link2sd or app2sd?? There is no other reason your system apps will disappear because
of changing card. First you check the permissions again.
If they are all ok and still doesnt work.. then download any gb gapps.. unzip it in your pc.
You will find two files.. MarketUpdater.apk and Vending.apk.. place it in same folder system/
app. Same permissions for both.. not sure if this works on Stock gb.
And we dont know what all files you are missing.
ok.thanks a lot now its all back.
thanks guys

[Q] System Rom

i rooted my phone and install cm9 then i want to move all my internal stuff into my system rom but is already 6mb out of 200mb how do i clean it up?
Use titanium backup
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
using it
i want to know that format system in recovery formats the internal or system rom.
Cause the first time i use titanium backup i move everything on the rom on the stock version then i keep on doing that cause my phone goes bricked cause of uninstalling the wrong things that causes my phone. Then i finally got it running but somehow i use every format in the recovery and did factory reset then system rom still did not increase the size?
Remove the unnecessary apps from the rom using titanium backup or link2sd.....or replace the high memory consuming apps with other alternatives...like trebuchet with zeam....etc.
System Rom
I free system rom in the following way:
1) Remove apps like All live wallpaper,Gtalk, text to speech etc.which i don't use.But don't delete "live wallpaper picker".
2) Go to root/system/media/audio by using root explorer or else and mount r/w.Delete heavy sized ringtones,Notifications etc. upto 50kb.
Can try this. I m managing ICS this way.Other suggestions are most welcome!!

Go into system with a root explorer and delete all files associated with it and it will definitely not come back.
