[Q] Uninstall system apps! help

I want to uninstall Hero of Sparta demo! I rooted my a500 with honeycomb 3.1 today and still can't uninstall the app. I bought the game from gameloft and it installs to the external SD but once I reset the tablet the game reverts to demo mode. I figure if I can uninstall the demo version and install the paid version it should work.. hopefully.
But, how do I uninstall the game thats considered a system app? Also, acer help desk is a joke. A simple reply from them "sorry, you can't uninstall any apps that come with the a500"... please help

A couple of easy ways:
Use root explorer rename the .apk file in /system/app to .apk.bak and reboot.
Use titaniumbackup or mybackup pro to freeze the app and reboot.

That worked to uninstall but now the game crashes. I notcied the demo version is 3.2.5 and the one I just downloaded from gameloft is 3.0.9... I am not having luck with this at all!
I restored it using the titanium backup and the demo works just fine... Any suggestions to get the paid version to update to 3.2.5?
Thanks

Market & gapps
If you have already rooted and want to enable the market by yourself you can use the tutorial on nookdevs from the nook color. GabrialDestruir have tested this and confirmend its working.
Additionally i have write down some steps to activate it by using resources of the touchnooter script.
GabrialDestruir updated his script, i dont know if my tutorial still works
AFTER you get the market working you can
update the market and gapps
or, just update the market.
This will fix the market search too

[Q] can't download anything from market

this just happened recently ... I can't download anything from market .... all I get it this message (error processing purchase) .....
can anyone help?? any ideas?? note that I have 3.1 rooted rom on iconia a500

This seems to happen a lot with the 3.2.0 version of the market. There are a few methods to fix it:
1) Remove your account from your tablet, and then reboot and re-add your account. This sometimes works with some people,
2) If that doesn't work, it could be an issue with the 3.2.0 version. You can try and remove it and install 3.1.6 - Here is a link with some instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284647

The link provided tells you how too. You don't really uninstall the old one. You just replace the vending.apk file and reboot your tablet. Make sure you do a backup first though!

I had a problem due to my own stupidity. I updated Civato mix with a one of his newer roms. I screwed market and despite several tries with various advice found in these forums I wound up installing Vending.apk and Finsky.apk.
I followed the usual instructions for a normal vending replacement.
Worked fine.
I discovered Finsky.apk was also being removed when attempting to delete Market via Titanium backup.

[Q] Need University of Phoenix APK

I am looking for the new University of Phoenix Android App APK. For whatever reason, I cannot find it on the Android market using my Nook Color but I can find it with my GZone Commando. I am running Manual Nooter flashed to my 1.3.0 NC.
I know not all apps appear in the market. I have changed my LCD density to 160 as mentioned and still cannot download this app. If anyone has a link for the APK, I will gladly sideload the app.
Cheers!

Pulled from Titanium Backup from my G2. Let me know if you have any problems and I'll just pull the actual apk from data/apps/

It works. Thank you very much!!

Excellent, glad I could help.

When I can't find a specific app on market I just install it to my phone, then use file expert to back up the app and transfer it to the Nook, then uninstall from the phone.
Sounds more complicated than it really is.

[Q] how to get OLD market on cm7 running from sd

I'm running cm7 from micro sd on my nook color and love it, but i hate the market app. On my rooted htc inspire i was able to download the old market apk for version 2.3.4 and much prefer that one. It's the one with the big green box at the top. Is it possible to modify my rom when it's running from the sd? If so, how would i modify it to run the old market app? I've read some threads about going back to the old market, but it wasn't THIS old market and it wasn't with cm7 on sd. Thanks!

When I was running CM7, I used AppQuarrantine to freeze "Market Updater" and uninstalled the Market update. That left me with the old market version. That was on sd. hth

Yep, Macahs right. That works. You can also do the same thing with Titanium BU. And, FWIW, I found a perfectly usable Market 2.x apk online through a Google search, if your uninstall of the new Market doesn't reinstate the earlier one.
