I am running MIUI on CDMA and I do not like Google search w. Google now. I used root unisntaller to delete the app off the ROM and installed an .apk I had saved. The problem is when I reboot my phone the original app restores is there a way to permanently keep it the way I want it?

Try this. Go into system/ app folder click on the apk's properties and uncheck all the permissions then delete apk and reboot. Let me know if that helps.

Hi
I used Sgs tools to do a camera hack and now my camera is screwed always force closes...
I have my old cmeras apk but I can't install it wouldn't let me.
Do I have to uninstall the order camera so I can install this?
And how?

If you can mount your sd card to your computer, then go to /system/app these are your system file apps. You can manually put the .apk file in there, but then you have to use something like Androzip to actually install (just finding it in /system/app and clicking on it will install it, or use the default Files app.)
Duddeee! Thanks in did what you said but with root explorer and now everhthings fine. I thanks man!

I just downloaded Bionix v5 and at the bottom of the original post it says "add-ons" I would really like to have the Swype app since I do not like the one I currently have but Im not sure how I download those add-ons to my phone. Can someone just give me a quick explanation on how to download them?
Thanks!
Swype comes with bionix.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
he means the newer one.
theres plenty of links on these forums, and you must go to system/app/ and delete anything with swype
then system/lib/
and delete swypecore.so or lib something like that.
then reboot.
then install the new swype.apk you found.
then use the swype installer to generate a licesnse and then validate it, and get the language packs.

Yes but not a good version. He says it is a better version and I would also like the wifi calling app but I don't know where to download these apps, whether it be to the sd card or what

ok so i managed to successfully download wifi calling. i went to put the swype and avatar app on my phone and when i opened astro and clicked on the app it says "application not installed". it does this for both avatar.apk and swype.apk and im not sure what to do. any ideas?

You don't run the .apk. Just move them to the right folder. /system/app/ I think that's it. Then you can open it from the app drawer.

that + you'll probably need to change the permissions on avatar.apk (I had to do this very recently).
AFAIK, you can't use astro to change permissions (or I at least gave up trying to figure that out). Instead I had to get Root Explorer (~$4.00 or so) so I could change the permissions on the things that needed to go in system/apps.
IIRC, for avatar, you'll need to set the permissions to rw-r-r then reboot before it'll show up in the app drawer on your phone.
I just flashed the zips and they installed.

Hey guys so decided that I would delete the stock browser, and now I want it back. I canut install, it says application not installed.
So what do I do? Change the permissions of the app? Sideload it? Move it to system/apps? Help appreciated.

here is the new swype and market, swype is new and improved. all I ask is hit the thanks button ;-)
Swype:3.269.2
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13365992/apk's/Swype_MULTILANG_ALLRES_v3.apk
Market 3.2.11 (need to change name to vending)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13365992/apk's/Market-3.3.11.apk
Edit: market installation
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot

hey,
that method leads to FC's and installing the apk leads to app not being installed.

The same thing happens to me when I try to install the Swype app....
Thanks for the link. How the heck do I get it to work without the constant force closes?
make sure it's named vendor.apk and change permissions to fit the other system apps.
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)

Thanks for the market tips. Everything worked fine. My biggest problem is with the swype. f/c's start when I reboot phone. Running CM stable for vibrant. Don't know how to fix...
Good news, I updated to CM nightly 168 and the FC problem stopped for now.
The given links lead to Error 404 page at dropbox site. Are the links still working or I need to enter login information?

If you having problems installing the swype apk... you can use Ti backup to uninstall swype, then reboot (important). install swype directly through "files" app or "my files". Worked for me!!
you guys realize that swype updates itself through the settings>input>swype settings> ..
right??? I guess its after the last update mines been updating
Any themes around?

so i just installed swype. looks good and runs great. it did tell me there was an update for swype after i installed it. after the download it says it was unable to install the update. any ideas?????
As the title suggests is there any way to install google chrome as a system app?
If i manually move the apk file to system/app using root explorer, reboot my phone and then open the app it gives an error saying that the installation is not complete...
So can you guys help me?
Sorry for being a noob, but can u guys help me?

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
