Install App To System? - XPERIA X8 General

Ok so i sort of made my own rom for myself to use i removed all stock launchers etc etc, i wanted to use launcher 7 as default laucher, not the se one. but when i full wipe my phone it deletes it as its a downloaded app which then leaves my phone without a launcher, so how do i build it into the system like adw is in the cm roms? so it dosnt wipe when i clear all data on my phone. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I would release this rom to public but its only based on 2.1.1.a.0.6 and most people prefer to use Floyo, Hackdroid etcetc. It dosnt have any extra features its just how i like it with all the crap removed lol, Different framework. Its just the launcher bit whats doing me lol.

install the application, then move it from /data/app to /system/app using root explorer...
restart your phone, it should works..

Ok thanks ill try that as soon as I get back from dentist

If you have a rooted phone you can use rootexplorer to remove some unwanted apps from the system/app folder there is somewhere on this G3 forum a list with apps you can remove but for the moment i cant find the name of the thread

Here, at the end of this post ("Clean ROM" section): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15391697&postcount=5
And I recommend you Titanium Backup. The free version just works.
i recommend the es file explorer as an alternative.
use titanium explorer
backup the apps you wanna remove and then remove them
even if you run into probs you can restore from the backup

ICS Files as of 11/10/2011 (flashable zip) (Music fix)

This is a flashable zip i made of all leaked stuffs from ICS
Zip was uploaded by my LG P500 average speed 30/kbs
http://www.multiupload.com/H2HGADOYGK
Zip does not haveICS Launcher Included!
The market launcher is not inside this neither is the official ,
Zip has been flashed and tested and it works, you do not need to wipe anything, but if you want to that's ok.

I have solved the force close music app issue. First, flash the ICS.zip file, then use root explorer to copy Music.apk from system/app/ and place somewhere on your SD card for later. Use root uninstaller to remove Music.apk. Then copy Music.apk from the SD card back to system/app/ and change permissions to rw-r--r--. What I did to get it to work was, I launched Music.apk from system/app/ and installed. It said install unsuccessful. I then rebooted and have had no issues since then. The app is no longer treated like a system app but a downloaded app instead. It still works great.

If you put an APK file on your SD card, and then install the application from that APK, then yes you can delete the file on your SD afterwards.

If u downloaded the apk off the web and not the market then u can delete the apk file that is stored on your sd card after u install the app. If u install your new app and it creates a new folder in ur sd card then I recommend u keep the folder there cuz the app will probably store info into that folder.

@teejay is correct. Once a .apk is installed you can delete it from the SDcard.

why don't you just push it to system/app? or make a flashable zip then flash all the apps that you want to become system apps.

Super SU has a option to unroot right in the app

yes it does but in pac a different superuser app is installed to the settings and there is no way to get that one out :/
I have always just flashed the SuperSu zip in recovery without problems

Why not just use a file explorer with root rights to uninstall system apps by going to
/system/app and deleting it?
Odds are you'll have a file explorer already.. don't see the point in an entire separate app just for that purpose.
You can't do that when it is preinstalled into the framework of the settings of a rom
