Remove/Add system apps?

Can anyone tell me how to remove/add system apps

You can remove system apps by going to /system/apps using a root explorer and deleting a desired apk. But don't delete any important ones.
For adding, push the apk to /system/apps using root explorer and set the permissions to rw-r-r.

Put it in /system/apps, not media, and set the permissions to rw-r-r. Don't install it. Just push the apk.

Use system/app mover if you dont know how to do that.
But in case of Replacing Radio You need tobPush and Replace or.
Move default Radio app to Data/app using system/app mover app
Then uninstall Radio using Usual Method.
Then install the apk you Got and Use system/app Mover to move it to system
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

Deleted Google Talk.

So I was reading on how to change my name on Google Talk and someone suggested removing the app and installing it again.
After I used a ROM Toolbox Pro to uninstall talk, downloaded an apk to install it again and its not working !
Sorry for being a noob, but how do I get it back?

download es file ex file explorer and move it with root to /system/app, then it should install itself....

One additional step, when you move the APK to /system/app make sure that you set the permissions properly. System apps need to be rw-r--r-- (644).

And reboot after setting the permissions. The app should be there.

can't acces the gtalk
after all process
can't login

Download Titanium backup from the market and you’ll be able to uninstall the bloatware. It worked for me :good:

Also insist on titanium backup thr pro version is worth the money as well

If you have root, then you can any file explorer that has a root file explorer and browse to /system/app/ Delete any apk you do not want. Be careful deleting things though, If you delete the wrong thing the phone will need to be restored. Once you delete them reboot and they will be gone.

Flash zips?

My note 3 is rooted. Can I flash zip files (not ROMs) like the Cerberus zip file?

Cerberus is a security app that lets you remotely, wipe, lock and track your phone as well as remotely take pictures and access call/text logs. There is an option to install it from a zip so it can't be uninstalled by someone that steals the phone.

You don't actually have to flash Cerberus to system/app with a zip file. Just download Cerberus from the Play Store, then use a root browser like Root Explorer to move the apk from data/app to system/app and reboot. Make sure you've set system/app to read-write (R/W in Root Explorer) before you paste the apk there.

Can't copy to System/app :(

I've been trying to copy the clear weather apk to system/app using root explorer. I set the folder as RW. It allows me to rename something to .Bak but refuses to let me copy an apk into this folder. I can't figure this out. Never seen this happen before.
Any suggestions?
