Recover Preinstalled apps apks? - G2 General

In an effort to improve and de-bloat my device I accidentally uninstalled plug and pop and I love this feature. Anyone have an apk or something for it? I really don't want to have to flash to my backup, as I've installed many things since.

Just download a stock rom and find the apk in the zip file or do the same with your backup.

Are you rooted? If not get rooted and flash a new rom like CM7/MIUI. If your already rooted you can flash a new rom or use an app like Titanium Backup to hide the apps.
Well i would actually like to remove them. And yes im rooted. On tsm res. right now and it has a few apps i would like to get rid of

Freeze them tibu
Then you can remove any app you want with Titanium Backup, or Terminal Emulator.
I use root uninstall free will let u remove any app on phone

That root unistaller was probably the best apl i have used. Wish they would automatically add that into builds

Root Explorer is another good one.

did it install as a system app? Strange. Could always use tibu to convert to a user app(if it is a system app) or just clear data and uninstall from tibu itself.

This app is a security application is it not? There are 2 options for install, both an apk file as well as a flashable zip. Did you install the apk or flash the zip. As well did the developer of the app give special instructions on uninstalling? If the app is for locating a lost phone there may be a trick to the uninstall process.
Titanium backup should allow the removal if your phone is rooted.

For me, I use avast and they have a removal tool built into the app for the anti theft portion. After that's removed you can uninstall the antivirus portion like any other apk. I would definitely check within the app first to see if there's a removal tool.

Ah yes thank you for reminding me. Usually there is ab option in the app that let's you un install it normally but since I was having problems the Dev Gave me a custom apk to run (and now another one which is why I had to uninstall) and I did move it as a system app that's why. I was successfully able to remove through titanium backup. Idk why I didn't think of it before. Thanks guys! Btw I highly recommend this app for security purposes.

[Q] Remove "All messages" vs. SMS/MMS selection from Stock HTC Messages App

Is this (relatively) easy to achieve? Or is there a significant reason the messages are divided up like this? The "All Messages" seems to take longer to redraw/refresh than the "SMS/MMS" option, which is quite annoying, to me at least... Otherwise, I don't mind using the app at all.

It can be done only on rooted phone. You have to replace your Messages+PRIME.apk to GSM-version. Like I did.

Thanks! Would you happen to have a link for a download? I found the .apk in the Viper ROM .zip, but it wouldn't install when I tried installing. Do I need to use TB to install it?

Here is the one I took from Virtuos GSM-only ROM and what I am using now on 2.06 base. Replace same file in /system/app/ folder with any root explorer, and check permissions. Then reboot.
Worked perfectly, I tip my hat to you sir! Thank you very much.

I will try and help, I am only looking to buy an S4 but have a Verizon Xperia Play that bricked due to OTA while bootloader unlocked. It's fixed now but I ended up removing MOBILE CARE. Try and look for that and just delete Mobile Care. If it's not there sorry but I tried...
Yeah.. mobilecare easnt there...thanks though

If you have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 you can delete these two files ‘fota.client.apk’ and ‘fwupgrade.apk’ with root explorer in system/apps. While I don't recommend deleting applications it's better to freeze them with Titanium Backup. If you have installed an stock rooted odexed version, you can also include these two files ‘fotaclient.odex’ and ‘fwupgrade.odex’
Thanks...I dont want to delete. I have rom tool box so I can just freeze them.

[Q]How can I remove and replace stock apps?

I'm running CyanogenMod 11, and I wanted to remove the stock camera, I found alot of links on google to do it through Terminal Emulator but It never works. also I want to replace it with the camera from the stock rom, and if I try to install that the app never installs properly. Any help would be appreciated.

You won't get a Sense camera to work on a non-sense ROM, just doesn't work, so you won't get the stock Rezound camera to work on CM.
If you like a different camera app, just install it, and if you REALLY want it in the system, use something like Ultimate Backup or Titanium Backup to make it a system file, and associate camera with it. You could also remove the stock camera app if you want, but why?
I don't like the redundancy, and it saves space on the the device. Its frozen for now but I'd rather exercise my android more than that.

Fair enough... You can remove a system app with either of the two programs I mentioned above as well.
