Unable to delete system apps - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA,
I recently upgraded to JSS 4.3 from 4.2.2 with franco kernel. My issue is that I'm unable to delete system apps using es file explorer, it shows the toast notification "file is read only". I've given it SuperSU permissions, so that shouldn't be the error. I've tried using TWRP to fix permissions as well.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Worked! Thank you very much, this was a very useful and detailed guide. +++1
As a side not, it says Uninstall failed BUT the uninstall appears to actually work. Assuming this is just an odd ES glitch.
Thanks again Andy!

Just reported this minor glitch.
Your welcome.
EDIT: Looks like binary misreporting, I know a method which can fix this.
It is to delete has it was BUT for the checking part the command "ls" gets used to check if that is removed.

I dont think that this is the right place, but anyway, just download your rom, go in the zip file to system/apps and take the dialer apk from there... and switch it with the apk in your phone (you can find it in the system/apps too)

just did it - took Dialer.apk from my ROM and moved back to System\App\ and it doesn't work.
I've done atributs rw-r-r same as the others...
for some reason there are strange files in /system/app/ folder, seems to be some kind of clones of original apps.

Any help or suggestions?

I've had my N3 since day 1 but due to lack of a PC I was unable to root until last night. I was on MJE and rooted using Kingo with USB 3.0. All went well, got root, super user, installed safe strap recovery, etc. The problem I have is actual with the transparent weather widget I flashed. I am new to Safe strap but all I did was download and flash like I would've in TWRP or CWM and it was successful but afterwards I rebooted and I have some sort of issue with the weather widget gps and settings. See pics. Anything I missed? Or didn't do?

*Also should probably note that when I tap on the weather widget and the weather app first opens, for a real quick second it says "already registered" but it disappears too quick to grab a screen shot.

Where did you get the zip? Just making sure it's for our device.

Yeah it was. I actually figured it out and solved my own problem lol. I had to delete the odex accuweather file that was under the accuweather apk file that i replaced. As soon as i deleted that and rebooted it worked. I just didn't know if i should or not because inside the system/app folder there were other apk files for other apps that had odex files below them too and those were all apk's that were stock/pre installed so I was hesitant to delete it. Took a chance and it worked out. I'll leave this up just in case it helps anyone else with newb tendencies like me lol. However if anyone needs to delete this thread or needs me to, that's ok too. Who knows? It may help someone.

G App install walkthrough

Hello all,
I see people keep asking how to get G Apps on MIUI, and most answers I find lacking so here is (I Hope) an easy walkthrough:
First go to the additional settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Second click on privacy:
Third click the unknown sources:
Fourth go to the default tools folder and click on download:
Fifth turn off Xunlei download engine and set downloading to Unlimited (i know it says mobile data but i couldn't get the install to work without this step).
Sixth find the MI app store icon, mine was in the tools folder, launch the mi app store:
Seventh type in google in the search bar you should get the below screenshot. click the secone one (green one)
Eighth you should see the below screenshot result.
Ninth you should see the below icon installed
Tenth you will see the below screenshot, click the big blue button.
this is not a click and forget install, it will install 6 things but the installs are on you and pop up , each time one pops up click install and then click done once it completes.
Eleventh step: find the security app, click permissions. find the below circled apps and give them most of the permissions.
And then lauch the Google Playstore, by clicking on the playstore icon. I hope this helps. please PM me, if you see an error or post if you have a question. I will try to answer asap.

If root(SuperSu) is installed in system(most likely it is) it won't be gone when you do factory reset. And as long as you have TWRP recovery, you need only few clicks to get root.
I propably can't help you. But about my earlier post, make sure the changes you made to the "update-script" file are saved in zip. I once had same propblem and realized that changes weren't saved even though winrar said so.
