Just run the following commands to uninstall the old system apps if you use a custom rom.
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
adb uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
adb uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
Then they will install just fine from Market (from the US Market). MarketAccess set to TMO US will allow you to find them.

Both apps are unsuccessful installs from the market on FRF91Deodexed, uninstalled with titanium. Awesome apps.

or do what I did. uninstall with titanium, reboot and install from market. running cm nightly

It's telling Mr the file isn't signed correctly. In the US.

I'm guessing that even with the required apks I will not be able to use this on my 2.1 Moment? Time to return to the Vogue then!

[Tut] (Root) Update to Latest Superuser

Once you have achieved root (see other thread), to update the Superuser.apk to the latest version, run these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.su
Then search on the market for Superuser and download the one by ChainsDD. Confirmed working on latest Droid2 2.2 ota.
EDIT: To be safe, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and find Superuser. Then clear the data. This should prevent any of the Superuser issues discussed.

sorry..new to the whole android scene. are there any advantages to updating the superuser app the the latest version and can this command be input on the droid itself through the terminal app?

i like the interface much more and its got a new autoaccept after 10 seconds if you arent paying attention when the popup shows. it's up to you. i'm sure future root tools will just include it.

alright thanks. is it as simple as installing the new version and uninstalling the old? or does one need to enter the command prompts listed above?

that is what the commands do. unfortuantely, the old version is on the system partiton. this means that we must first mount the system and read/write and then manually delete the old version ourself. then the new version can be easily downloaded through the market. anyways, adb shell means it's done via your computer so its very easy to copy and paste like 3 commands.

Instructions work perfectly... thanks!

These instructions are not specific to the OS on your computer, they work with anything.

Perfect!
Worked great! Thank you!

Instructions worked fine (I just made them up for Linux), but the newest SuperUser is giving me weird results. Every program that requests root access will ask me numerous times, like it never remembers that I gave the app access. Like removing one app with titanium will it will ask me 4 seperate times to accept or deny permission. Other apps do this also. Anyone have a copy of the old apk I could reinstall? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

I had the same thing happen to me. Launch the new superuser app and go to settings. Unselect and reselect Notifications. Apparently it shows it being checked, but you have to recheck it for the actual setting to get saved.
After I did this, it only asks once for a program, and then I never see it again.

Nice, thanks!

I had that issue too. I ironically un-installed superuser and re-installed it and it worked fine too

I used Root Explorer to delete the old Superuser.apk from /system/app. Then I rebooted and installed the new version from the market. Worked great.

that works too though without having the superuser apk and rebooting, that could be a little dangerous for others hence my adb tutorial. no need for a restart either. could easily just use root explorer, delete the old, download new from market.

Worked great
I just renamed Superuser.apk to .bak then tried to install. Don't forget the last step. I had to adb (I was using terminal emulator) to do the last step then installed fine and removed Superuser.bak.
Thanks I like the New look.

yeah i can't get superuser from the market to install, keeps telling me unsuccessful

I had the same problem. I rebooted my phone and then it installed fine. Not sure if it's risky to reboot once you remove the apk or not. However, it didn't cause any problems for me.

I basically did the same thing except I renamed instead of deleting it. Well, once I installed SU from the market, I can't find the .apk file even though it's running and launching correctly. I assumed it would be called superuser.apk in the system/app folder but only my old renamed superuser.bak is there. I'm just worried if there is an update in the future, I won't be able to rename since I can't find the .apk file. Anyone know where the .apk file is for this new version of superuser?

Tried this, and it didn't work for me. With Titanium Backup in particular, it will literally ask upwards of twenty times for permission. It's insanely annoying. Any other tips?

[Q] Swype Beta No Longer Working

I'm running XBoarder's GB 2.3.3 ROM Version1.2.2. I flashed it this morning.
The "old" version of Swype is working just fine. However, when I download the Beta.apk and try to install, Swype won't work.
I'm using Titanium to "Freeze" the original Swype so the Beta will load onto my phone. It used to work like a charm, but is not working anymore.
Anyone else having any problems?

Does it Force Close on you?

you have to uninstall completely the old swype. then you have to use a file explorer to remove a file called libswypexxxx.co or something like that. It is located in system/lib. Then you install the beta installer and finally you download the beta and install it through that app. you can also at this point use one of the swype themes, which look amazing.

Adevilfish,
How do I completely uninstall Swype? I go into Settings - Apps - Manage Apps - ALL APPS, and then I scroll down to SWYPE. It does not give me the option to Uninstall. Just to Force Close and/or Clear Data.
What do you do at this point?

It's a system app so you can't use the manage applications setting.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm -f /system/app/Swype.apk
adb shell pm uninstall com.swype.android.inputmethod
adb shell rm -f /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
After that install the beta.

wewoapsiak ,
I sincerely appreciate the information, but that could not have made any LESS sense to me.
That was WAY over my head. I'm getting better with this phone stuff, but I clearly still am a "White-Belt Noob".
Forgive the following questions:
What was that?
What do I do with that code?

ADB---Android Device Bridge. How your phone communicates with your computer.
There are many alternatives, but if you want to learn about it, try here.
Or simply download Android Commander, it's a GUI for your computer that allows you to drag and drop or delete. Or use root explorer. There are plenty of ways. Delete the two files (Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so), install the beta.

Can this be done using "Root Explorer"?

Yes. Navigate to those directory file listed in the adb posting above.

[APP] Get your Old Android Market Back

You know what distinguishes a good the from the from a bad on? The good one spend his time is helping others, while the bed one spend his is time consolidation power
There are no stupid question, every question is a quest for knowledge..Knowledge flows freely here at XDA! ask and ye shall b answered.
ThaNx to all the member that TEAM AD with the various tips and trick for this post I walk away, but my knowledge increased by the experiences shared with is wonderful group people. Long Live Android!
Installation:
1. Download files below, do not rename them! Transfer to SD Card.
2.* Use any file explorer and mount system as RW and delete file name (Root Explorer works nicely)‘Vending.APK’ and ‘MarketUpdater.apk’ from /system/app/. You can also delete folders com.android.vending and com.android.vending.updater in /data/data.
*Do a reboot.
* Open File explorer/ Root Explorer and Mount your file system as RW and copy ‘updater.apk’ from SD Card to /system/app/ and do a reboot.
* Now, mount your file system as RW from explorer and copy ‘market.apk’ from SD Card to /system/app/ and Reboot phone.
Edit: I feel retarded.. forgot to mention that this method is iffy on my rooted stock ROM, but it works great on my rooted custom rom.

acolwill[/B];16952837]What functionality? All I see is fancy graphics designed for children and iRetards, there's no discernible change in how apps are grouped or searched for since version 2.12.
I have 5 android devices ranging from the HTC Hero up to the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the new market looks **** on every one. Application presentation is marred with oversized text and incessant scrolling, making it slower to actually see information pertinent to what you are looking at. Emphasis should be on the applications contained within the market, not the market application itself.
Other than that, the obfuscated way that application permissions are presented to a user in the newer versions makes it far too easy for the layman to install things with less than honourable permission requests. At least in version 2.12 you HAD to move your fingers around to accept permissions, since then all it takes is two jabs with a finger with little or no perceived consequence.
The fault lies with Google for forcing the new market style on users, no choices outside of root&destroy.
So thanks for actually taking the time for making the Google apps look nice, just let those whom want the 'clean' version have their say.
--
The attached Vending.apk is the "old" market. In order to install it, you must be rooted and you need either a little knowledge of ADB or Root Explorer from the market.
Using ADB;
Reboot into recovery and plug into pc, mount /system using your recovery
From your preferred ADB console:
adb push Vending.apk /system/app
adb shell rm /system/app/MarketUpdater.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Vending.apk
adb shell chown root.root /system/app/Vending.apk
Reboot.
Using Root Explorer;
Download apk to sdcard
mount /system rw
browse to /system/app
remove MarketUpdater.apk
remove Vending.apk
browse back to sdcard and copy the Vending.apk to /data/local/tmp
copy the Vending.apk from /data/local/tmp to /system/app
using permissions action, set permissions on Vending.apk [Owner: Read Write. Group: Read. Others: Read]
using set owner action, set owner to 0 - root, group to 0 - root.
Close and reboot.
The Root Explorer method may not work for all phones, and will not work on HTC phones which do not have s-off. The ADB method should work on any rooted device which previously had market access.

Why would anyone want to do that? To put it in a different way: What are the advantages of the old market?

Thanks man, the new market sucks...

For some people the new market lags a lot especially on lower end phones, the last version was terrible for me so I had to use the old one but this latest update is a huge improvement, so i'll stick with it.

If you change the density of your phone's display, you wont't be able to download many apps(shazam free for example). It says that your device is incompatible, that's why I reverted back to the old market.

Agreed. Installed it, and soon had to restore old version from backup!

Any chance this will work without root? My wife hates the new market.

Have you given a brief look at the benefits of root vs stock? Well worth it.. Just a little research about rooting your particular phone and you can do it quite simply

i just downloaded the old market apk again and replaced it over the new one , and it worked , i have samsung galaxy s2 ,but still the new market is slow

If you don't delete or disable Market Updater, new market will return... Maybe not right away, but it will be back. Also no need to reinstall old market, it is still on your phone. Just see my post above on how to uninstall the updates to market (Step 2 and 3), just uninstall updates, and go back to market, accept teh T&C and you will be back using old market again.

This worked for me ONLY after following the steps in OP and:
1. Changing the permissions of both files to rw-r-r
2. Renaming market.apk to Market.apk
3. Renaming updater.apk to Updater.apk

I think you'd need to 'chown root.root' on both files too...

after themeing the market for the last five versions i would have to say the new market adds fuctionality over the old.
sounds like your blaming google for having a slow outdated phone.
still a good post though for those that like the look of the old market

Try restoring your apps and following the directions posted in post 2 it really is easier, and you don't have to mess with chmod and renaming and rebooting.

How to remove stock Swype to install Beta

I love the newest beta of swype (3.25.something) and was irritated with the old stock version. Removing pre-installed swype from a Sense rom using a terminal emulator was nowhere to be found, so I pieced this together and it worked. Must be rooted first
I found this short walk through (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10655580&postcount=29277) to remove swype, but my spareparts didn't have those options and I haven't got root explorer. So this is the free way to clear out the installed swype so that you can use the much better beta.
I learned how to mount read and write to remove apps here: http://www.magicandroidapps.com/wiki//index.php?title=Removing_Sprint_Apps_From_Evo
1) Use a file explorer to find out and write down the exact filename of your /system/lib file. Mine was libSwypeCore.2.50.72.20895.so
2) Open up your Terminal Emulator app and type: su
The $ should turn into a #
3) Next enter: mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
4) Enter: rm /system/app/Swype.apk
5) Enter: rm /system/lib/filenamefromstep1
6) Then enter: sync
And: reboot
7) When the phone reboots use your email client to download the Swype installer fresh (I used an old copy and got force closes, but after using the manage apps to get rid of the old installer and the errorous new swype or failed install the freshly downloaded installer worked seamlessly)
8) Install the new installer and follow its prompts.
I hope this will help someone else and is easily found when they search for it.

The only way i could think of right now is to be rooted and then installing an app like "System App Remover". It can install any bloatwares.

Not to bury up an old topic, but don't forget about the all important Titanium Backup. Not only can you back up all of your apps easily, it will let you remove any app from your phone just as easily. It seems a lot of people overlook that powerful app. Plus, it's also free, unlike root explorer.
