hi guys,
If i wanted to use another dialer instead of stock phone,can i delete it ?
if you delete it, you will get a bootloop, as far as I know.
Just overwrite it with a root-compatible explorer.
Or modify propc´s reframe.sh and change the file names to phone.apk and the directorys to /system/app/phone.apk (or SEMCphone.apk if you´re on SE stock 2.1)
you can delete the dialer.apk, I did. SemcPhone.apk, do not erase, I've tried to replace phone.apk but does not work.
If I helped you, thank me ....
Thanks
I don't have the options to do it another way.

that would be foolish as it stops your network service, anyways you can use systemappremover or titanium backup to uninstall system apps, but do so at your own risk

sorry for the double post
Curious..........when we install .apks do they alreadly know where to install its self. some apks i can completely move to the /system/app/ and others go straight to /data/app where most apks go and cannot be moved without FCing
IS there a way to force all data that i want to system/app/
just wanted to know if this is possible...would be sweet
TIA
As far as I know if you install them manually you can install them wherever you want. System or data.
While rom building I've put non-standard apps into the system/app folder with no problem.
If you put them in the system/app folder you might need to make sure the permissions are set right.

I'm probably out of my league here, but I would guess that you should be able to add in the new keyboard (to the SYSTEM folder), select the new keyboard as your default keyboard (using an SMS app or something), then once it's selected you're good to go. You may be able to even delete the old one at that point without any errors?
However, you mentioned cooking and baking so this is what's over my head. Sorry if this doesn't help you.
Also, like that other dude said... "other" apps like the ones installed from the Market usually go in DATA. I noticed that when some ROMs have Maps installed in SYSTEM and you go to update it, it will install the newer version in DATA. I remember seeing in the logcat during boot that the phone detects both versions and just ignores the older version in the SYSTEM folder.

I have used that exact keyboard on ROMs in the past. I did a straight install from the SD card using a file explorer, Astro to be exact.
Maybe I'm missing what you are trying to accomplish, but that's how I installed it. I'm not up on the cooking and baking, but maybe it's different if you are trying to add it to the ROM prior to flashing?
To remove the standard HTC_IME.apk, I would install the new one first then go into adb shell and remove it that route.
The only way I know how to change permissions is by using the Root Explorer app. If you have that you mount r/w and navigate to the apk you wanna change. Then you long press it and go to permissions. It looks like all the ones in /system/app are "User: Read, Write; Group: Read; Others: Read". Hope this helped!

I have tried the music.apk from a AOSP build but it says its in compatible.
Thanks in Advance

EDIT 1: Nevermind, I tried to put the Music.apk file on the /system/app folder, restarted, and got on a loop =(
I'm restoring right now.

This is why you don't go trigger happy with the delete functions of root file managers. At least make a back-up of what you're going to delete. If what the 2nd poster said, another music.apk probably won't work on your phone.
Best bet is just do a factory reset or download SEUS and reinstall the firmware.
(please backup whatever you need.. sms, whatever. if you lose these, not even SEUS can save you; use the backup and restore app that SE gave you. provided you didn't delete that as well.... )
I did it hahaha.
I'll copy the Music.apk and the odex file if anyone needs it.

Hello!!!
i am another happy owner of the Ideos X5! New to android but i read a lot, before every step.
Here is one problem that i can't find a solution.
My device has preinstalled the app "Documents to go" v 2.5004 (748). I got the "documents to go" v 3.001 but i can't install it. :S
I used Root Uninstaller to uninstall the app, it said that the app is uninstalled, but i still can't install the newer version.
I got a message that says that the app is not installed.
what should i do? :S
with root explorer go into system/app folder and see if there is any trash of this app left... also check into data/data folder...
in the first directory there aren't any leftovers and the second is empty.
any other suggestions?
maybe you can use a new room?

that's the most difficult solution, for a simple problem.
finally i switched to OfficeSuite v4.0.351.
the portuguese model have the stock apps in the folowing path:
cust/tmn/pt
The "TMN" is the company name, soo you maybe have some like this.
You can go in this path and delete the apps with Root Explorer, Mount R/W and long press on the app and select Delete.
Sorry about my english
As syckopt says, you can delete the .apk files via Root Explorer, but the directories may vary depending on which carrier you have (and which country).
For example, my directory is: /cust/Dialect/SE/app
@ syckopt , sebgus
The Greek model has most of the stock applications at this directory: system/app/
while at the /cust/wind/gr/app/ there are only three (GreekPack.apk , Layar.apk and TouchPal.apk)
there are some applications, they say that they can "freeze" some stock apps. what exactly is freezing?
please check out and my other active thread: [Q] how to migrate to a new SD card?
thank you all for your help!

Freezing is basically the same as renaming the app or removing it. Its just allows to to unfreeze it (or rename it back to original name again), which is a lot easier than using something like root explorer.

oh, i see!
which is the best app to do this?
Hello,
I've got the same problem. As it is not possible to update the pre-installed Documents to Go via Google Play (I always get error -104) I uninstalled that app using Titanium Backup. But unfortunately, it is still not possible to install ANY version of Documents to Go. If I try to sideload the APK file, I only get "App was not installed". Google Play gives me various errors, mostly -4 or -104, refusing to install the app, either.
In System/apps, there is no remnants of Documents to Go as far as I can see, a directory named cust does not exist.
Please help.
Thank you very much in advance and kind regards,

first of all root your phone....
then mount your system as r/w by the help of Root Manager........
Then use root explorer to copy Twlauncher.apk from sdcard to /system/app............
it will ask for overwriting the previous one....press ok. done....

no need to stop that process.....
if still not happening..then install any other launcher like launcher pro etc....and set that as default ....then do your replacing job by the help of root explorer as in mentioned above post.......
after that you can uninstall the extra launcher...if u want to use Twlauncher only...
I just installed another launcher from the market, I made it default (when pressing the home button) and then I removed TWlauncher with Titanium Backup. It worked pretty well for me
So I got a little crazy and deleted these apps without thinking. So basically can somebody give me a copy of the files and inform me how to properly put them back on my phone please? Thanks

Flash a stock firmware via Odin. And for next time apps you don´t want it only freeze. For example with Titanium backup or Link2SD

What version are you in? Did you root your phone? If you are in custom ROM you can extract from your ROM and use Root Explorer to put it to app or pri-app base where you extract from your ROM
