Two nice apps from stock Sony firmware. You need root. Just put this apk in data/app and reboot. Enjoy.
Update: You can instal this without root, as a usual apk.

I rooted with Z4Root, and now I'm trying to replace my flash with a modified .apk. Can anyone run me through on how to remove the already installed programs that came stock on the device? For instance flash....
Titanium backup will do it. Also root explorer and a host of other apps on the market.
Be careful though, as some stock Alps have no apks and wont get backed up - the only way to reinstall will be to flash!
Thank you!
I accidentally removed Youtube. I tried to install it again for google Play store and its crashing after opening. I installed it as apk, and it did the same thing. any help?
If you are on stock rom (i suppose you haven't deodexed it), go to /system/app using root explorer and see if you can find Youtube.odex. That file may be causing some problems. Delete it, and then install a downloaded youtube apk.
If you're on a custom rom, I recommend you to reflash your rom as i can't think of any other solution.
If you are on custom rom or stock rom download youtube from google play store...and if you want make it system app
Globally recognised and certified NOOB
Use root explorer move your downloaded apk to system / app and set permission as r-w-r-r--.
Before that clear data of your previously installed YouTube.

The most useful app for me, is Root Explorer.
It allows you to browse the entire phone without any problem, can mount internal partitions with read/write premissions, so you can modify your system as you wish.
You can even delete stock applications. For me, the Titanium Backup usually fails to delete the system apps, stuck at Removing..., so on. With this, it's just as simple as delete a folder.*
You have to pay some money for it, but I can assure you, that it'll worth it.
And of course, the two mentioned above.
*I have to warn you, you should always make a backup of the app, before deleting it, easier if you don't delete, but move it somewhere on your SD Card
For me must have is : Root Explorer , Busybox , ViPER FX
Do you know Preferences Manager? It's a tool to manage apps preferences with ease, even if you couldn't through UI.
For instance, you can set Huawei Home for auto rotation, if you like.

Signal
Signal to replace the standard messaging app.
It's end-to-end encryption and free, recommended by Marc Snowden. WhatsApp is crap and not free. Threema has the same functions, but again, Signal is free.
Telegram to send and recieve files (if you don't mind the cloud)
Soma for free calls, video calls and pretty secure messaging
I'm just seeing none of these are rooted apps. They're still useful
Here is one:

This app gave me the most details about my system, it's well worth the money.

Hello guys. I will get straight into it.
I have used CF auto root to root my Samsung S5 Neo G930F. It has rooted successfully and I was able to use multiple root required apps. As I am a big fan of Pokemon Go, but a fan whom has very little time I hoped that I can use my rooted device for my advantage.
So my problem is that whenever I try to move ANY downloaded app to system/app using Lucky Patcher, after the phone reboots the app is gone, the icon is no-where found in the list, using ES File Explorer, using the root explorer the com. file is no-where found either, not in the data/app folder neither in the system/app folder.
I have tried various different ways to transfer the application to system/app. I have tried Lucky patcher, by installing the application from google play and using lucky patcher to move it into system/app. I have tried using some other google play store app, system/app mover root, I have tried installing the app throught lucky patcher straight onto system/app, I have tried cutting the com. folder from data/app and pasting it into system/app but by doing that the application did not even start up. After reboot the app was gone. I have also ensured that the system partition is set to ReadWrite before executing any of the above actions.
Just in case anyone asks, I have followed numerous tutorials, none of which have helped. I was able to also root my sony Xperia Z2, and install the GPS Spoofer and set it as a system/app without any problems.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You!

Hi,
The screen recorder app for my Huawei 3i somehow got uninstalled and I can't find the APK anywhere online or the Play store/App Gallary. I had someone send me their version from a P20 pro, but since they are on 9.1 and I'm on 9.0, it wasn't compatible. Could anyone please upload the 9.0 version for me so I can try to install it? I'd rather not have to do a full wipe of the phone just for this one app.
Thanks!
PS: I wasn't sure where to post this so if it's the wrong place, please let me know where I should post it!
How shall we find and extract the apk file in either Honor 20 Pro or Mate 9?
It seems that we can't get any apk for system apps without rooting device. And what's the exact file name?

The way my friend did it was to get one of those APK extracting app on the play store. There's a few of them but he used the one called APK Extractor. His device wasn't rooted and was able to get an APK from it. Could that be why it didn't work when I tried to install it? I assumed it was the different android versions.
I see. You had better have someone who has the exactly same phone model, Huawei Nova 3i, to run the APK Extractor to get that apk file for you.

If their device was not rooted, I doubt it actually extracted the app from system. It may have extracted "something" and you may have tried to install it but whatever they extracted may not have been what you actually needed.
If it did actually extract the app, it may not have installed properly because it was not installed in system, it probably got installed in data partition with your user apps. It might be that it won't work if not installed in system. Or it might be that you needed to boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition(and dalvik cache if you have TWRP) then reboot and try installing the app.
This might be because when you removed it from system, that app still had files left behind in the cache partition, these files were associated to that app as a system app but when you installed the app manually it was installed in data partition but wouldn't work with the cached files that were associated with it when it was a system app. You might need to find a way to get the app installed in system so it can work correctly with the cached files that it was associated to when it was a system app, or you need to wipe cache in recovery then install the app as a user app in data partition and reboot the device to let it rebuild the files in cache so that they are associated to the app as user app.
There may be a way to use adb to obtain a copy of the app from system to share with you and then use adb to install the app in system.
