Maybe the stuff you purchased, but I just tested playing a trailer with Mediahub after removing the two files and it played fine.

Just re-asked this in the General section, this should be left out in Roms.

I thought the whole purpose of that service was to check if you have pirated files, thus meaning if there is nothing to check nothing should go wrong?
[edit] I did exactly what was told and the service still starts up?
[edit2] Okay guys those are the incorrect files to delete, i went into titanium back up and deleted DRM content something (it was the only DRM there after i deleted the two with SDX) i forgot the name of it was going so fast. Can someone do me a favor do what was provided above delete the two files, and tell me which DRM file is left over in titanium back-up? That is the one your suppose to delete. And i restored the other two files, the service still doesn't start up .

Testing now

Just tested and it works, doesn't restart after reboot. I'm running Baked Snack 1.0 and MixUp kernel. Haven't tried media hub, i'm not about to spend 2.99 to rent a movie on my phone lol
EDIT: I have only had this working for roughly 10 minutes, and I can already see a significant improvement in battery life. This should be stickied for sure. +Props

What does this file do? i dont mind deleting it. Just curious of what its purpose is?

It says 'We're sorry, there was an Exception thrown while deleting: Error could not mount /system: Permission denied'
What am I doing wrong?

Means your not rooted(or rooted properly).
You have to be rooted to use the sdx system file remover, and pretty much to use any other method of removing system files.

I have clockwork recovery and am running the andromeda kernel and rom.
I have the NFL verizon app and the alternate 'lock screen'.
How could I not be rooted?

SDX Stock App Remover will delete stock .apk files that come preloaded. After install DI07, the MediaHub will be activated as well as the DRM service. This will prevent the DRM from starting automatically as to improve battery life. Just follow the directions.

In Titanium Backup the name of the file is "DRM Protected Content Storage 2.1-update1"
Obviously it will be different if you're on DG27 (will it be there at all?). I can confirm uninstalling this does stop the DRM service from running. I'm going to leave those two .apk files in the OP deleted too just because I don't see a reason to undelete them.

Makes sure the sdx app has superuser permissions if you have the superuser app installed.

You also need to backup/delete SisoDrmProvider.apk or it will still be active in running services after reboot.

Ever since deleting those two files with sdx and then that other file in titanium I cannot play any of the hd videos I recorded with my phone or any of my drm-less movies I put on my sd card

[Q] YouTube OFF?

Hi Guys,
Every ROM I flash I try to Freeze/Uninstall and remove from Boot Many, the YouTube App.
I don;t use it ever, but even if it says freezed successfully it still comes back after reboot.
What's so special about it and will it creat a problem if I delete it and main question is how?
Thank you

In my other android device experience, Nook Color / Simple Touch, YouTube is instrumental in the Google Apps authentication process. For instance to get market working on nooted versions of those devices you had to sign into YouTube first.
Why are you trying to get rid of it?

Never used it, if I need to I can view it in the brother. Just another app that loads up on boot and sits there using the battery

Fair enough. Why don't you give it a try? Make a nandroid backup and then delete the file via ADB in recovery mode (or move it to /data/local/tmp for easy restore). Clear Cache / Dalvik reboot and see if anything isn't working properly.
I would say you can delete via ADB in ICS but many people, myself included, are having issues mounting /system in ICS. It could be possible that this failure for /system to consistently mount could be why TiBu isn't freezing it properly.

Use root uninstaller, its how I have removed all system apps since my gb 2.3.1 days on my x10. A very effective method

Thank you for responces.
The proper way I found would be to transfer it to a User App and uninstall.

I use 7zip. open the archive and delete it, or add whatever .apk you desire. I always do this before I even flash a rom. Winrar should work fine, though.

[Q] Update to v55.13.25 after rooting?!

I ve removed some system apps like twitter n flickr. Can i update my device to the version v55.13.25 from the previous firmware without any issues ???

How did you remove the apps? Its better to freeze them and defrost before an official update. If it were me and I'd removed the apps completely and I liked where my phone was at and I didn't wanna flash the fxz I'd find those apps and re-install them. If you go that route make sure your permissions are correct when you place the apps back into the system folder.
The End.

Okay I've zipped the twitter and Flickr files and uploaded to my drop box if you want them. They're stock odex files. The two files for each app (.apk and. odex) are in folders. So after extracting their folders you can place the files in /system/app folder and change permissions once there. Let me know if you want the links to the downloads.
The End.

I just noticeD you're from India. You might want files from the India ROM yes? Are you on stock odex or a custom ROM?
The End.

Removed them through system app remover.Will a hard reset restore those apps?Its an ATT model with their firmware not the Indian one..

Oh I see. I don't know what I was thinking. You can do a factory reset to get those back. You will loose all of your data in the process so backup your data and only format your SD card if you have that all stuff backed up to a PC.
The End.

Wait. What's "system app remover"? Is that an app? I'm confused. I've done so much to this phone with swapping ROMs and moving system files around via Root Browser that I'm not even clear about your issue.
FWIW I've recently come full circle and currently use the stock 2.3.6 odexed ROM. I use Twitter and Flickr too. Sorry. I think I've confused myself here ha-ha. Somebody please address the OP. lol.

Yes! it`s an app...To be clear i uninstalled those apps after rooting my A2 with the "system app remover" . Will the OTA update work even though the
i`ve removed those apps beacause the update might be for those apps as well and will i lose root if updated to the new firmware

NO, do not try the update if you have deleted any system .apk's.
This is probably the easiest way to do it:
1) Install CWM through the bootstrapper if you haven't done so yet.
2) Boot into CWM and make a backup
3) Flash the fxz (scroll down a bit)
4) Once the phone boots up, log in to your google account and do whatever else you need to do. DO NOT uninstall any applications (even if they're uninstallable) and DO NOT root.
5) Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software update. Make sure you're connected to wifi and install the update!
6) Once your phone has updated, re-root it, install CWM, and restore the backup you made.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Yup. What cogeary said. How embarrassing. Its just been one of those days where I should just keep my mouth shut. Not in a bad way. It IS my birthday, and the moon is closer to the Earth than it will be for a good while. Ha-ha. Seriously, cogeary knows his stuff.

rooted now market wont work and deleted messaging HELP!

I have a galaxy s 4g with gingerbread 2.3.6. I rooted it and that went well then deleted some factory things and accidentaly removed my messaging abilities. And now the android market app force closes so I cant update anything. IM A NOOB AND HAVE NO CLUE. What do I do?????????

Download the stock kg4 from my guide that is linked in my signature and extract the mms.apk from /system/app and install it. As for the market, try clearing the market data and cache (go to settings, applications, find the market and then click it and hit the clear data button

You don't need to download a whole ROM for one apk. The third link in my signature has all the stock GB apks. You likely need to reflash anyways or add back the apk's you deleted until you get market working. You probably deleted an apk the market needs in order to run. I've done that a few times. You can flash back to stock using the guide in the second link of my signature.
Next time instead of deleting the apk's rename them putting a '.bak' on the end of the file name then test how the phone does. That way you can remove the '.bak' if something goes wrong and determine what caused it.

What did you use to delete the apk's? Use that.

Some root manager program, I forgot to mention that i reset it to factory. Damn. Its not reading the apk files that i am putting on the sd any ideas?

Start over. It will take too long to walk you through the non reflashing way. Follow the guide in the second link of my signature. It will put you back on Stock unrooted GB. Go from there. Reread my suggestion above before you start deleting things. Good luck.

WinRar. Ask the dev if you may edit the rom. You can easily add, remove or switch the integrated APKs, sounds and so on.

i know i can delete the apk's from the ROM directly, but i can say if the installer detect they are missed up and abort the instalation or brick the phone! Im a noob in that point, my idea was edit a ROM to everytime i need to flash it doesnt have to do all the same things like delete apks via root explorer and etc!

Deleting any files from a ROM is not recommended but if you know what you are doing, it's fine.
Also you could also flash a Clean Rom without all the useless APK's and when flashing gapps the smallest one with only the core and playstore.

To delete APKs use "Titanium Backup" --> batch uninstall, means you can uninstall all unwanted apps with 1 klick.

LOL, yes i CAN read and i DO so. We talked about you can delete any unwanted apks from the zip as long as they are not relevant for the system. Works on roms and on gapps packages.
And I wrote that for me its easier to perform a batch uninstall with Titanium backup (takes about 1 minute) after flashing the rom as deleting the apks manually by editing the rom.zip as I flash my phone nearly every day.
