Move App to system app - Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers

I am trying to move an app called "Cyberdroid GPS" to become a system App. I tried using lucky patcher which i get an error saying not enough apace in the rom to move the app. Tried titanimbackup, it just says processing and never finishes.
Even tried /system/app mover and it says its sucessful but after i reboot the device i get stuck on boot loop. I am running stock rom with root. any suggestions or tips to move this app to system app successfully?.

Update failed.

Okay so I downloaded the ota and install it. When the phone boots back up it just says update failed. I am rooted, but that is it. Any suggestions? I tried twice.

My phone booted up, but once bored it gabe me the error. Perhaps when I tried to unroot I messed something up. I deleted some of the sd card files associated with the root

I'm in the same boat.
I used one-click to unroot and it said it was successful but Titanium Backup was still able to get root rights. Not sure what to do here.
When ever in doubt, SBF - Back to stock 2.1
WARNING: ONCE YOU APPLY OFFICIAL FROYO 2.2 YOU CAN'T USE THIS METHOD ANYMORE
Thanks for the reply dr. I rooted but stuck with 2.1. Would that method do anything for me?
Using Bootstrap? If so, delete /system/bin/logwrapper then rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper. I did this and it worked.
I was not using Bootstrap.
Currently attempting to fix this by reinstalling all of the bloatware that I uninstalled (per this: droidxforums.com/forum/froyo-2-2-news-rumors-wishes/7471-froyo-2-2-ota-install-issues.html).
I thought I had backed up the apps before uninstalling them with Titanium Backup but I was unable to restore them and it seems that it only backed up the application data and not the applications themselves before uninstalling. Funsies. That was an unroot, re-root, unroot, re-root carousel that I never want to go on again.
So... I went here (chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/516/) and downloaded all of the apps that I uninstalled, put them onto my SD card and then used Root Explorer to paste them into the system\app folder because I'm not so good with the command prompt stuff that you all use (if you do use this method, make sure to click "Mount R/W" at the top to get into read/write mode otherwise you can't paste into the system folder... took me way too long to figure out).
I've manually installed all of the apps while the OTA downloads (for some reason no 3G at the office) and will report back once it's finished and I have either Froyo, another failed attempt or a bricked phone. Exciting, no?
More fail. Will update with any useful information.
Yea i can't install it either

I just wanted to say that this worked perfectly for me. Thank you so much.
Looks like I installed the wrong versions of the stock apks (516) and using the right version (604) did the trick.
GL to anyone still having troubles.
Pressing the Search key while it's unpackaging, I get this error:

Can someone link me to the stock framework-res.apk ?

[Q] 2.3.151 Update/bloatware prob

I have a DX with Version.2.3.151.MB810.Verizon.en.US, rooted.
1) My phone keeps trying to force me to update, and it then fails the update. I rooted my phone and deleted (no backup) several pieces of bloatware. I put blockbuster and amazon mp3 back on from the marketplace, but I can't find CityID or DLNA there. Can I update to 2.3.340?
2) I do not know how to make a failsafe backup of everything in the event that I totally screw stuff up. I've been looking through posts for hours, and have seen people suggest backing up a million times, but I cannot find out how to do that. Can anyone link me to something showing me how to back up my phone, and how to flash that backup back on?

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I just downloaded the programs I am missing, and I cannot instal the DLNA stuff. I am assume it is because the odex stuff isn't there, and I can't put the odex stuff in the app folder because it is write protected. How can I change the permissions on the app folder?

If you flash this file through bootstrap recovery, then you will be on the latest OTA and ready to go.

So does maderstock do the same as sbf?

It says coming from a non blur rom will surely boot loop your phone. Is liberty non blur?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Okay, so I can download that file, flash it from recovery, and have an updated phone. It says to make a backup, how do I do that? Would that backup be another .zip file to flash? If I do back up my phone, update it with the maderstcok file, and if it screws up, I would be able to simply go into the recovery and use the backup zip to fix everything?
If you have DX Bootstrapper, open up that app, select bootstrap recovery, wait for the "Success" message, then select reboot recovery.
Your phone will reboot into the bootstrap menu... Use the volume keys to go down to backup/recovery and select that with the camera button. You will get another menu, and just select backup using the volume and camera keys....
The phone should now spend a few minutes backing up... when its done, use the power key to back out to the main menu, and then install the .zip.....
If the install screws up your phone, then boot into bootstrap recovery using any of the methods, go down to backup/recover, and select recover.. There should only be one file, and its the time-date that you did the backup.... Select that, then "yes" and let it do its thing.... Your phone will be back to the exaCT condition you backed it up in..... including any unread text messages.... enjoy
You all are amazing. Thanks a million times!
I updated my phone with maderstock, and it works.
The problem is that I now cannot root my phone again, and am stuck with all of the bloatware. Can anyone help with this? I cannot download z4root through the market (will not show up in Market), and when I download it through a browser, it won't work.
and the phone keeps trying to update, and telling me that the download failed.

[Q] Free Wifi for Root Users problem

Phone was rooted with Shift Root & Recovery. I downloaded Free Wifi for Root Users from the Market. It showed as paused for a long time but eventually finished. But when I tap on the button to start tethering, it cycles for a while then says unable to start, are you sure it's rooted or something like that. Thoughts?
Ok, what I've tried...
- Went back into Shift Root & recovery and used the 'Check Root" and it comes back with message saying "phone is rooted". Then I uninstalled the app and redownloaded it...same problem.
Help?
Google the app, download the apk onto your computer. Hook your Shift up as a Disk Drive and load the app to the root of your sd card. Go to the root of your sd card, find the app. Then load the app that way. Might not be downloading right for some reason.
Well, got it figured out... Shift Root & Recovery was showing the phone as rooted but it wasn't I rooted it using the comand prompt method and it works fine now. So, not the app...

[q] unable to sideload

Ever since root and freezing apps I just realized I couldn't sideload. It says install but it's unclickable but it does let me click back. Any ideas?

its most likely user error.. i nvr heard this happen just from rooting a device.. are you trying by copying apk to fioe system and rebooting or by installing as a regular apk? what apk is it? what did you freeze?

It's from xposed or a auto brightness app try installing any app that you recently installed,
Sent to you from my slimmed down S5
Update:
I defrosted every single app AND fully removed xposed. And still, install is unclickable. So weird! Any one ever seen this? Also to be clear it's with any apk. I noticed when installing better battery stats but adaway, xposed installer both are on my Sd card so I tried them and they won't install.

LG smartcover has stopped

Hello,
So, my vs98039a is having a pop up saying "Unfortunately, LG smartcover has stopped". When i close it, it automatically keeps popping up, over and over and over. I am rooted with stock rom. I have twrp recovery.
I tried to install xposed through twrp. That is when it started with the pop ups. I read that xposed is making the pop ups happen.
I tried to do a recovery, but the recovery wasnt found on memory stick via usb.
So, i was able to do a factory reset, but still have these stupif pop ups. The factory reset took it back to 5.0.2.
I really need some help bad. How do I get rid of these pop ups??? I am sick over this.
Thank you very much

Hopefully this will teach you to read before messing around. In the Q&A, there's a link how to get it working thru adb. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58829021
If you can't get it working that way then you'll need to return to stock. (post# 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51318377
It's been a known issue since Xposed in alpha (not for everyone) has been out.

Thanks for your help, nothing is working. I cant seem to get the sdk tools to work so that I can open adb cmd. I downloaded the sdk suite and manager. I'm afraid its a lost cause . I try to go back to stock, and the phone will not stay connected when flashing vs98039a firmware. I even went to Lg site and downloaded the newest driver. It works, phone tries to reboot and shuts off and flashtool says there was error when it tries to install firmware. I try to get phone in dowload mode, and it says download mode but there is an error message top left. Then it shut off completely.
How the heck can I get adb to open up so I can enter commands to stop smartcover, weather,and weather platform??? I have done all of this on my razr m without a hitch. Im not a noob. I do not understand this G2!!!

You need to remove these 3 apps for xposed to work:
LGCover, LGWeather, LGWeatherService
Just flash the attached file through recovery and xposed will work.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app
I was wondering how that is even possible since I did a factory reset, the popups will not let me past them, and I have no recovery as far as I know.? The usb debugging is on, and the phone shows it is connected, but pc does not see it. Unknown sources is enabled as well.
I can't flash anything from pc using the lg flash tool. It gets to 50 percent and says device isn't connected. Can't even try the freedom tool anymore if it went connect. I have the latest usb driver.
I don't evenknow if I have root anymore. Popups won't let me do anything.
So anyway, I ended up just wiping everything thru the twrp recovery and took the firmware zip I downloaded (vs98039a) and installed it. Everything is back to normal with fresh stock rom. I think I will just be happy with that, until xposed has a clean apk. Thank you for your help

Exactly, that´s the problem.
If you can´t solve it with that, flash new rom, and do that before install xposed again,
One more thing, can I use titanium to freeze these apps or should I just delete them?
