Good day.
Today i saw a article about a user that had facebook installed in her phone, and even without using it for months and with location services (gps) off, the app kept recording where she was.
And so, my question here is.
Without root, can i permanently remove facebook, that is system pre-installed, from my phone?
Disabling it, probably wouldn't solve it. I know that it is possible to remove it though ADB commands, but it only uninstalls it from my user. (probably is still working on the system? user)
Any developer or someone with more experience than me could shed a light about this?
Thank you.
I am having similar problem with the pre installed spotify application. I removed it with adb in order to install modded one, but it says that it is still there!

I was in the same situation and I can tell u: you don't need to Uninstall stock spotify (of course u should at least disable it though) : u just need AppCloner, way simpler. It was banned on Google Playstore but it still present on Amazon AppStore

I dont remember exactly the steps but I think after disabling and removing Spotify via adb I installed the modded version as different package (with both different name icon etc) but I am not sure for the last steps. If I save the apk file via Appcloner and send it to you it may work I think. Do you want to try this method?

The point is wanting to install a modded version, u can't if your phone have already pre-installed that specific app. So, once u have the modded app'apk (find it on internet) u have to clone it and sign it with AppCloner. Once u obtein the NEW apk, just install it. Done.
Usually AppCloner is used to have 2 Viber, 2 Telegram, 2 WhatsApp but u can use it for this too

You can not download apk directly from market to a PC.
You can find sites like getjar.com or many other that post free apk files.
Another thing you can do is download to your Android phone, extract it or
I use Astros file manager and backup the apk.
I do this to get apps for my tablet that's not avaiable from market.
Something your brother can do is use Market enabler, it trick the system into thinking
he has a US carrier and most apps will show up
hello.
he is in a country that he can not connect to the market at all. So market enabler will not be any help.
if i download them to my phone, in what directory can i find the apk ???
and is there a way to download them to me phone but not install them on my phone ??? (just to pick the apk ?)
thank you for your help.

If you want to get the apk files of you installed apps, you'll have you back them up (there are many apps which do this). You can place the apk files anywhere on your sd card (or internal storage depending on device) where you can find them.
hello
i have tested with appmonster but it seem that it stores all the versions of the apps (even last versions before updates).
what app is best for thet and that stores only the latest version of each app ?

You could try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.agilesoftresource&feature=search_result.
Try Astro. It's simple, backs up only what you want, and seems to be a good option for what you need. I personally use Titanium Backup, but that's more advanced and has more features than you need. Astro would be the simplest way of doing what you need.

Depending on the app, look in System/app or also Data/app to find the apk's after being installed.
Use something like Astro to backup your Applications and then send the apks.

is there a way to add language pack into ics keyboard? i hope to have chinese input
and how to use 'next line' instead of 'send' in Enter button when sms ?
possible solution
using root explorer go to data>apps. you will find an app named something like com.playstore or something like that. just find the app with the playstore icon. delete it but before deleting copy it somewhere else just to make sure. now the app will be uninstalled from your phone. download google play app from somewhere on the internet and install it. i think that it should fix the problem.
Hey imbawind,
did u use your adrenaline script with the cm rom?
i think the problem is the script.
Whenever i use it on stock rom, it work just fine, but when i use it on cm rom include cm9, the market force close when i click it. But the problem solve after delete play store from system app and clear dalvik-cache and reinstall again.
I think your script only work on stock rom.

I'm not sure if any rom needs root, just CWM installed. Some roms give you root by default though.

Hello!
I'm here to present the first way of gaining root access through ADB, WITHOUT unlocking your bootloader and voiding warranty.
METHOD
Download Pokoby's Root Pack
Download the .564 firmware
Download Flashtool for the Xperia NXT line
Step 1: Flash the stock .564 firmware on your phone (Other guides available. Essentially, install Flashtool drivers, unplug phone from USB then hold Volume Down whilst inserting the USB)
Step 2: Open up Pokoby's Root Pack, and extract all the files inside. Make sure it has adb, it should be included in the zip.
Step 3: Run the ROOT.BAT file inside .../Pokoby's Root Pack. Your phone will reboot once, then another CMD window should appear. If not, start it manually by running ROOT2.bat, also located inside the folder.
Step 4: When the CMD window asks whether you'd like to install Superuser.apk, press Y or Enter to proceed. If not, you can install it later from Google Play.
Step 5: Your phone will reboot once more. Congratulations! You should succesfully have Superuser as an app on your phone. To test for root access, download Terminal Emulator from the Google Play store, and type in 'su' (without the apostrophes). A Superuser request should appear. Select 'Allow'. The $ in Terminal Emulator should then turn to a # sign. That means you've rooted!
You're rooted!
QUESTIONS
Q: What is root?
A: I suggest you read up on Wikipedia, but if you aren't aware of what rooting is, it's highly unlikely you'll want or need to do it.
Q: Something went wrong, and my phone isn't rooted.
A: PM me, and I will always respond A.S.A.P. Also, remember to include details about where exactly the process stops.
Q: I love you! You're my hero! Where can I donate?
A: I will soon set up a donation link. All funds will go to a charity of my choice, but I'm currently undecided. And, that's if anyone does want to donate.
Q: Do you have a Github?
A: I am currently in the process of creating one, and setting up sources there.
CREDIT
Sony - for creating an excellent value handset!
The Sony Android Development team - for making their software exploitable
steryman - I believe he created the root method for Xperia S. If I am mistaken, PM me and I will change it.
The XDA community - For taking such interest in this!
Happy rooting!

Hi!
Since Google has updated its photo app taking out a lot of cool features I decided to give an opportunity to the Nubia Photo editor that came originally with the phone. The thing is that when I want to edit a photo the system gives me an option to choose Photo Editor but the app cannot be found... even in the app drawer. Titanium says it is still there but... no chance to launch it.
So I decided to search for the apk to reinstall it but I can't manage to find it. In fact I don't know if it even exists. I found a couple like that http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-430348-1-1.html but they don seem to me like the original ones in the launch icon.
Is there a way to restore it or someone have located the original .apk?
Thank you!

Hi XDA's
I got a new Set top Box model EC6108V8 and I'm trying to Root this device to install GAPPS. Searching for solution bring me nowhere because this STB ROM is already updated by Vendor of TM UniFi.
Today, I found this recovery img inside /system folder and I wonder if anyone can port this recovery img to CWM @twrp or maybe can add the "INSTALL UPDATE" menu back into it, as it was removed by TM in last update. To flash this img is by using "write_raw" command.
I'm not really sure if this img is port-able. However, it is worth a try by Pro Porter out there. :highfive:
Appreciated any feedback and help
I know this is another question, but are you able to root your STB? I failed to root mine using King Root.

Hi ..
I dont know which version of android ur STB currently using, and I also in doubt for the tricks, maybe its not working for latest udpated version due to security reason.
And also, since there are lots of AndroidBox Tv in market, people are not looking for 'STB hack' anymore
