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

How to delete preinstalled apps?

How do you delete apps that come with the Optimus One? When you select Uninstall from the Menu in apps drawer, you're only allowed to delete apps you have downloaded.

search "stock apps" in the development forum, this provide most apps like calendar
simply unzip the palckage, find the apk, and put back in /system/app
How do I put back in /system/app
say read only and very new to this

Download a root explorer app like "Root Explorer" (obviously) or File Expert, go to the system/app folder and give it write permissions (there would be options for that). After that you can copy to that folder. After copying, reboot.

Unfortunately for you, a hard reset is probably the easiest way. Then do an app/data restore from Titanium again, but DON'T restore system apps this time!
can someone please post a messaging system app from titanium on sg2 so i can restore that?

You'll need to put this in the system/apps folder to reinstate it, but this may not fix the problem as there may be associated files that you also need. Only 1 way to find out
mmm, i sent it to myself in a email and downloaded and installed over the top, but still no good.

You'll need to hard reset then. Since you have a backup to restore, it'll only take 5 minutes. Like I said, just don't restore system apps.
ill try one more thing, installing root explorer and see if i delete all the old stuff and install then.

You're not actually trying to install the apk by running it, are you?
tried to haha. but now i deleted the original via root explorer then uploaded the one you gave me back in there
didnt work gahh. it doesnt think the app exists now..
I hate to sound like a broken record, but do a hard reset. If you'd have done it earlier, you'd be using your phone by now
- how do i do a hard reset?

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

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?

yeah i have tried it and it keeps reproting Application not installed
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......

Your tablet needs to be rooted to remove system apps. After that you should be able to use Titanium backup or any root explorer to remove the app.

Hi, I have already rooted my tab. When I try to use Titanium backup or Root explorer, it says that I cant remove the app because it's read only.
On a lighter note, I hate how my name has been "censored"

Interesting... Are you running a custom ROM, or stock? Second, when using Root Explorer, did you make sure to hit the itty bitty "Mount R/W" button at the top of the file list? Third, have you tried "freezing" the app with Titanium Backup instead of deleting, sometimes that works. Otherwise, you may have to try ADB to remove or rename the apk, or see if someone has a flashable zip for the custom maps apk you need.

Is it ok to delete the .apk files in /data/app folder?

i'm using root explorer and found a bunch of apk files in the /data/app folder. i never downloaded any of these, i guess android automatically made copies of the original apks? now is it ok to delete these? will it affect functionality of any apps?i have currently?

Nexus 5 KitKat v4.4.x ... I deleted all APKs from /data/app and apps started crashing. I forced a reboot and stuck in animated google boot logo for 20 mins with nothing. I did the hard shutdown and into bootloader to go into recovery. I had to use nexus root toolkit v1.8.0 to reset to factory
its cause some of the apps which you installed were installed in data/app.. in your case you deleted it.. so the apps which installed in that folder wont work.. try re-flashing the rom.. thats the solution.. and i know its been a three months you posted this problem.. and now i guess you cleared that already...
