Is there any way to completely uninstall gmail. I need to use an older version of Gmail (6.x.x). I have tried many ways to remove gmail - Titanium backup, system app remover, via adb ... nothing works. Thanks for advice.

Uninstall Gmail with titanium backup or any other app. Boot to recovery mode and clear dalvik cache and reboot.
I try. After reboot gmail is back. I try via root Explorer too. I deleted folder gmail2 in /system/app but after restart folder is back.

Hello.
Long time ago I delete stock sms app with Root Uninstaller, of course make copy of mms.apk (but not mms.odex). Now I want to restore app, but it doesn't working. I push app to /system/app, change permissions, change owner to root, download mms.odex from internet, delete cache, dalvik cache, and still not working. System doesn't detect app. Root Uninstaller restore app as system, but still not work.
How to fix that? [stock 2.2]
Deleted system sms app

Is this what you're after? (Attached)
This /root uninstallers are quite dangerous :]
So I accidentally uninstalled system application using titanium backup pro. Now when i try to restore it (I took a backup right be I uninstalled) it just sits there "restoring App+Data" indefinitely.
The app i uninstalled was "Search Applications Provider" (I was meant to uninstall "SamsungAppsUNA2"; i just slicked on the wrong thing)
I've done the following and it has't helped:
* Ensured that USB debugging is on
* Tried setting "app processing mode" to -> "Auto, Indirect" as suggested elsewhere
* Rebooting
This still hasn't helped, it just sits "restoring" forever...
What options do i have?
Can i reinstall from the APK if i can somehow get it?
p.s. I'm using the I9100XXLPQ (Official Final Build) ICS ROM from Faryaab's thread
I'd reflash the rom. Restoring system apps is problematic at the best of times, usually end up with FC's. Try flashing it over the top of what you have now, and if that causes issues, do a clean install.
What do i lose when i re-flash the rom?
Launcher shortcuts? Sms?

If you have Titanium Pro backup than probably you will use the widgets on your launcher. SMS should be in backup. I would do another backup beforer flash, so that your data backup is fine
Two options...
Copy the apk in your Titanium folder... Rename it and move the copied file to your /system/app folder and reboot
Option 2 is to extract it from the ROM's zip and adb push it to the /system/app folder and reboot...
You may need to fix permissions afterwards using either option
Used Titanium Back apps for several months. Had no system problems. Needed a bit more internal memory free and decided to uninstall the stock gingerbread music app ( which i backup and then I uninstalled it) because I use other music players and it has been listed as being safe to remove w/o system probs.
Samsung galaxy y
Stock 2.3.6 Froyo ROM
Before doing anymore uninstalls I wanted to see if i could restore this. Titanium Backup Pro just hangs indefinitely when trying to restore the stock music.apk app. Have to kill it. Using Root Explorer and ES File Manager, I am able to see the app in the system/app folder after doing this but it does not show in the app drawer.
What I've Tried:
1. Contacted Titanium Support. Great guys and very helpful. Cannot stress this enough and the app is awesome. They suggested taking the apk from the backup files and moving it using adb.
Result: Moved the file but would not show up in app drawer.
2. Found the stock music.apk in system/app folder using Root Explorer
Result: Tried rebooting. Did not work. Tried factory reset from Privacy Menu. Still not in app drawer.
please help guys!!!!!!!!!!!! how to fix this????
Have you tried clearing the data for Music app? When I've restored apps with Titanium, sometimes the data is corrupted or something and I have to clear the data.
You can always try uninstalling it and pushing a new music program with adb.
Again, I searched but cannot seem to find this...
Well, I was trying to remove stock apps after I rooted my phone, I used to use Absolute System to do so(with my old samsung fit), but now I cannot seem remove stock apps, at all... most problem is with ASTRO FILE MANAGER, i cannot seem to remove it, AT ALL...
any suggestions on what app should I use? or how I should do it?
TIA!

Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox, System Cleanup ( you can find it here on XDA or Play Store) or using a Root Explorer - delete the apk files

So i should just directly delete the apk from the /system/app folder?
You should backup the folder on sdcard first

Titanium backup is probably the easiest way to do it.
