[Q] Removing/Moving System Apps - HTC Desire X

I'm new to HTC, my previous devices were Samsung.
I know that I cannot delete or modify system and ROM since our device doesn't have S-OFF, yet.
Is there anyway for me to move system apps updates from /data/app to system/app? And how do I delete apps from system/app folder without them reappearing after reboot?
Thank you in advance.

I remove system apps with titanium backup (root required).
Moving apps? I don't know

In a custom rom is a custom kernel (boot.img) and our devs here had written a kernel without htc write protection.
I think thats the reason
I don't know if it is available for JB.

You need to delete the .odex files aswell (i think) also you need custom kernals to remove write protection and if root explorer and tb dont work then just delete them with aroma

Hello,
I have ROM myONEdx+ RC1.0 with JB and I could not delete system app like Facebook "facebook engine" and "Facebook for HTC SENSE".
I uninstal them with Titatium, after I delete the apk in \system\apk with root explorer
When I delete the apk system reboot
A question : if I delete these apk with aroma explore in recovery do think all is ok ?

Yes. That'll work. We have HTC write protection enabled. Once the kernel sources for jb are out, a custom kernel with write protection disabled can be compiled.
We have such kernels available for ics

So, currently, there isn't any kernel without system protection?
Plus to the removing system apps stuff, I have a problem with the JB deodexed rom, I can't change governors, CPU frequency, etc., once I change it SuperSU notifies me, but when I exit the app and enter again, the CPU frequencys and governors still the same. Kernel problem, maybe?

You can also disable the apps in its settings. Go to Settings, apps, all, click the app you want to disable, click disable.

Thanks for your explain.
So if I understand well, we need to wait HTC publish its JB kernel to delete all applications

Dude. Delete any system apps with aroma file manager...

You can use aroma fm to delete any application. But to delete a system app using titanium etc from ROM you need a kernel with write protection disabled.

Yes. You can't write back changes in root partition. It's read only

Well, but if I'm not wrong, when I was in deodexed stock ICS I was able to change CPU config, don't remember what kernel was, but wasn't a tweaked one (can't remember which one was, but I believe it). Why in current one we can't change CPU stuff?
And about aroma, (noob question), where I could find it and about its usage?

Ahh, so it's like an app, it doesn't flash anything? But the file manager integrated into TWRP does the same function, isn't it?

deleting with aroma file manager works, be sure to delete both apk/odex files and beware that your phone might freeze after you delete a system app but don't worry, reboot and it works
