Hello fellow Android users,
I am currently using Cyanogenmod 10.1 (nightly) on my GT-I9300, and have this nice app: Cyandelta to update very easy and automatically via TWRP.
Now I'm running into this problem: when I update, I lose this app Secure Settings, that I converted to a system app via Titanium Backup.
The reason I converted it to a system app is because it then gets more functions available that i need. The alternative is installing the "Secure Settings Helper'', but everytime I reboot my phone this ''Helper'' has to install again (god knows why).
My question: is there any way I can get the app to stay on the phone after flashing the update?
I've researched about flashing the APK via a zip file, but it didn't seem easy to do. That way i could let Cyandelta flash it automatically after the ROM. But it would be easier if the app just would retain on the phone.
Thanks

Im running GinnTazz Gingerbread and i am trying to download applications from market.android.com. However, the market is not recognizing my phone for the permissions they are. I am 2.3.4 however i am not able to download an application like the Music app from Google. It just gives me the error, "this application is not compatible with your device". I thought perhaps it could be that i am running a custom rom but the highest Stock rom available is 2.1 which isnt high enough to be useful for downloading the newer applications. Should i reflash a different rom that is capable of presenting itself as....maybe a Nexus S so that i can have the permissions i need?
Thanks in advance.

It's pretty well-known that the new Music app will not install to the Eris from the market. There are .apk downloads floating about - you'll have to install it that way.
If you want to try altering the build.prop to see if the app will be visible in the market, you can follow the instructions for tricking the Netflix app into installing onto a rooted phone here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...rk-on-your-unsupported-rooted-android-device/
(Note: I did try this on a CM7 phone for Netflix, and the app started, but would immediately close when you tried to load a movie. Also, the app was 21 MB without data. I never tried the Google music app, though. Remember to Nandroid backup before you do this, though.)
Hi,
I am currently on Galaxy S2, Gingerbread 2.3.3, and am planning to uninstall the System app Google Maps using Titanium Backup.
For now I will use a third party app (Sygic). However in the future I may want to install it later, but if possible I will choose to install it as a normal app instead of restoring the system app.
Questions -
1. If I remove Maps, will it affect any other part of the system that you would like to caution me about?
2. If I replace the system app with normal app, will I be able to upgrade to next version of android whenever it's rolled out for my phone?
You may just freeze it...
But as I know, there is no problem after removed it from system. I've my maps removed as system as well and installed with Burt Maps which Is non-system app.
PS, if you installed custom Rom, you won't get official update anymore.
Won't effect system upgrade.

I recently tried to install the free Avast Anti-Theft software. This software is free, and the feature set is pretty cool. It installs itself into your system apps so that it can survive a factory reset. However, this aspect of the software doesn't seem to be working. When I try to follow the in-app instructions and install the app via the direct write method, there are no errors and I am told to reboot at the end. When I reboot, the app is not there, and I have to go through the installation again.
I also tried an alternative method of installing via an UPDATE.ZIP file from within recovery. The zip claims to install with no errors in recovery, but again, no sign of the app when I boot.
This app used to be called Theft Aware until Avast bought them out, and the old version installed fine as root on my Hero. I have tried to get answers from the Avast forum, but the guys there seem to be clueless.
Any thoughts? Anyone successfully installed this app as root on their Hero? I am running Floyo 1.2 custom ROM.
Are you searching for the correct name? I just installed the app and as far as I can see it disguises itself with a fake name in order not to be detected and removed. You are prompted to choose the name yourself at the beginning of the install guide!
I've got an app that is listed as 'disabled' in application manager list, but when I select it to try and re-enable the button is grayed out and says 'disable' on it as if it was never disabled to start with.
How do I un-stick this app? TIA
What app is it?
You should be able to use any app or file manager to uninstall it.
Do you have root access?

The basic 'email' app. I had originally disabled that and 'exchange services' way back at the beginning (root required) because I wasn't using anything but gmail and was paring down on apps as much as possible. Now I have a reason to use it, and while I was able to enable 'exchange services' again, the other one just seems stuck. After the update to ICS and then JB I never installed root, and with the OTA updates it seems this particular app has gotten into a bit of a mangled state.

Well you can try installing them again. I'm going to assume you're on the latest 4.1.2 version. So here is the email apk and here is the exchange apk just in case you want to reinstall both.
Or you could gain root access and use an app to unfreeze them that way.
To root the stock 4.1.2 rom
1. Use Odin 1.85 in Admin Mode for Windows users.
2. Install TWRP 2.5 via PDA settings.
3. Reboot phone into Recovery.
4. Install SuperSU via the Zip.
5. Reboot phone and viola You're rooted!. SuperSU is there and works.

Grr. I downloaded the email apk and tried to run it, and it just failed with 'application not installed'. Apparently I buggered myself up good - I'll have to go the root option, any tips/tricks to keep in mind before I do that?
Hallo friends,
I am using Samsung galaxy tab 8000, 10.1 . It still runs on 4.1.2 android ever since I rooted it. I want to update to latest.
I tried hiding rot with voodoo. It says successfully done. But I can still run root apps.
I tried Framroot(the same app that I used to root) and unrooted the tab. It says sucessfully unrooted, but I can still run titanium backup and root apps.
Check for updates option, when selected, doesnt do anything.
What should I do?
See you
Hello Friends,
Now I have rooted my tablet using CF auto root using Odin.
When I start the SuperSu app, it asks to install binaries. and I choose normal method. then it takes a while, and says failed. The app closes. I cannot access the app.
But the app runs in background and gives all the root access to root apps properly. Root working.
So, why do I need the binaries if everything is working without it?
Am I missing something?
thank you see you.
