There are several apps out there that allow u to uninstall system apps. I use Link2SD myself. With it u can uninstall any syestem app or if don't want to uninstall it u can just freeze it. It also has an option to convert 3rd party apps to system apps so u could convert QuickPik to system/app if u wanted. And u could use it to get rid of or freeze all those launchers too. I believe Titanium Backup can do all of that too. Or an app call Root Uninstaller. Just look on the Play Store & u'll see several but i recommend Link2SD personally. Good luck
Open the ROM zip file in 7-zip or WinRAR, Delete the Apex, Nova, and Trebuchet Launcher apks from /system/app and put in the launcher you want. Preferably keep Trebuchet (Launcher2.apk) along with the launcher you want. So in case it doesn't work, there's a launcher for your phone to use to rather than pull out the battery and re-flash ROM. Same with gallery. Delete Gallery2.apk and put QuickPic apk in /system/app. Finally flash ROM. No need to wipe anything, the IceColdSandwich updater script formats /system, /cache and dalvik-cache.

Here's what i did
i wanted the stock gallery 3d app so badly so i took it from stock jpm (both the odex and apk)
then i placed them both in the system/app/ folder
strange ..didn't work.. (didn't show in app drawer at all..)
so i installed gallery 3d from market and then replaced that apk with the stock gallery apk
even strange.. when i opened the gallery app, i got the old gallery app not the stock app
for those who are wondering.. stock gallery app is flawless and has blue highlighting while the one in the market has yellow highlighting and appears patched while scrolling and is damn slow..
question is.. how do i install stock apps in custom roms??
I had the same problem but then with touchwiz and on a stock rom:
I wanted to enable landscape mode in touchwiz and for some kinda reason I deleted the touchwiz30launcher.apk and the odex file... I tried to place it again but with no succes... For another reason my phone was captured into a bootloop so I flashed the firmware again and everything works fine. I would also like to know how you get that stock apps working if they weren't on your phone after flashing...
ok atleast tell me how to deodex apps..
is it enough to move the /data/dalvik-cache/classes.dex into the corresponding apk??
Hi to all...
I updated to I9000XXJVO recently, and I see that /system space is full. Is this a problem? Can I resolve it?
I want to convert /system to ext4, but I can't because there is not enough space.
Any idea?
Thanks in advice
Get a file explorer and mount /system read and write and then delete .apk and .odex that are not necessary for u.
I had the same problem. Cause i do not use TW i deleted all TW widgets like DualClock, Buddies and so on. I deleted also MiniDiary cause i don't need this thing.
Just look which .apk u know from the drawer or from widgets and then delete them.
I don't know which apps can uninstall and which not. Is better uninstalling the system apps from Titanium Backup or deleting the apks and odex from /system/apps folder?
Any tutorial or list of the safe apps and others?
Greets!
Not tested with Titanium Backup but it would be possible too. I used Super Manager for deleting the files.
Its the question Do u use touchwiz widgets or not? Another solution for u may be this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Just flash the deodexed JVO then u will have 25Mb free on /system. But u have to flash again
If u dont wanna flash again just say me if u use touchwiz widgets or not - if u use another launcher then u can delete all tw widgets. I will make u a list but first of all i need to know how what is ur decision.

I don't know which are the touchwiz widget :S
And what is the meaning of "deodexed"? So many different space in the filesystem, not?
Greets!
Now u got a odexed version it means that nearly every item is having an .odex
In an deodexed version there is only the .apk so u have more free space in /system
I'm gonna make u a list of things u can delete if u want it and not use the deodexed rom. Using the deodexed one would be the easiest way. For u and me. I must not make a list for u and u must not delete them and think if u need them.
Thanks, if you make a list, it could be helper to some people
I think I flash a deodexed rom, from your link, and I'll try it
Thanks drigg0r for your time and you efford
No Problem. A list would be work for me. And i think most ppl will go on an deodexed rom cause themes only run on these ;D
maybe the pit file repartitions the internal memory badly and leaves little for system
Hello,
I have Racht Froyo 0.20 ROM installed on my X8 and i can't update LauncherPro.
Is this normal because LauncherPro is bundled with the ROM?
Same problem, reported on Floyo's thread.
Probably is because Floyo includes LauncherPro Plus, the paid version.
In Racht Froyo 0.20, LauncherPro is a system app. For upgrade:
0 - Backup your system com xRecovery.
1 - Install other Launcher and set to default.
2 - Remove LauncherPro with Titanium Backup.
3 - Install LauncherPro from Market
4 - Set LauncherPro to default.
5 - Remove other Launcher.
PS: Never uninstall LauncherPro until install a new Launcher.
it's a system app so we can't update it...do what the upper post said

Same problem. Froyo 0.20 came with LauncherPro Plus. This is paid version. Maby this is a problem. Installation error on my device is: Installation error – Package file was not signed correctly.
I have a different problem.
Floyo's in call mute does not work. Is there a way I can extract the calling apk's from another ROM and insert it here unto this ROM?
I mean AFTER installing the ROM, not before.
(Say there are x.apk and y.apk and so on... get them from another ROM, replace x.apk and y.apk in floyo)
is it possible?
I don't no if it will works, but try it!
Download this edited phone.apk: http://www.mediafire.com/?fqlsdwcqc8eurag
Make a backup of phone.apk, he is in the folder "system/app"
Paste the "phone.apk" in system/app using root explorer, overwrite it, set permissions at rw-r--r--
try it, but do not forget to assign permissions to the file...
will try that. already replaced a cm6 phone apk with the floyo's apk, it stuck in a loop of FCs. maybe its the permissions!
SUCCESS!
I didn't use the apk you gave me. But the apk that was in my system folder. Which was a working mute key, whereas Floyo's mute wasn't working for me! now the mute works! Thanks for the tip about permissions!
FYI
this is the ROM that I took the phone apk from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036335
(Thanks to lizypen)
and pasted it on Floyo 0.20. (of course thanks go to Racht)
P.S. I might sound like a real n00b right now, I'm just typing these assuming someone who wants to do it wont screw things up! and no one needs to re-invent the wheel
So I am running synergy godmode on my EVO 4g. I flashed One of the sense 3.5 ROMs to try it out though. I like several aspects of the sense 3.5, but I also really like the speed that the synergy gives me.
So how would I go about porting some stuff from sense 3.5 to synergy? Specificly I would like to take the music app and move it to synergy. How do I do this?
Thanks for any help!!
Sam
I know how to replace a system app, it is just a matter of figuring out how to get the APk for the music player from the 3.5 ROM. Is it possible to go to root exporer and system/app them copy the music player and paste it into the sd card, flash back to my other rom, then put that APk into the system apps, change the permissions, and then reboot? Would that do it?

download Titanium backup and backup all your apps and then load up whichever new rom you want and go back into Titanium backup and restore that app and see if it works...
I tried that. For some reason the apps just don't want to install. Odd. I guess I'll just wait until a more stable rom with sense 3.5 to come out and I'll just use that
Hello
Is there any way to get original android launcher to zte blade?
Q: Why?
A: I don't like ADW and LauncherPRO is too heavy for gaming and i'm sick for switching between ADW and launcherPRO
Thank you for help

Wouldnt just replacing the launcher2.apk from one of the modified zte stock 2.3.5 roms work? Just change it in the zip and then reflash the rom?

Just replace the apk file in the .zip and reflash without wipe. Or just replace the file using adb or a file explorer.

I have titanium backup pro but i don't have enough space on sd
Woah i did install it (via. Copying and running the apk in android) but it wont start (and even the system wont find it _Exploring solution_
End result is that i had to use Zeam (it's a good thing)
What we learnd:
Original launcher wont work on CM

just copy the apk to system->app and change premissions to rw-r-r(just like other apps) and reboot it should work now.
