Yep. Just delete them and replace them in system/app

Hi,
I'm not an android developement expert but have a question about your advice.
If we delete only the app from /system/app folder (and nothing more. via root explorer), won't it cause trouble?
I would like to give an example for clearing this issue in my mind. In windows, if we just delete the exe file from the Program Files, it doesn't mean we uninstalled the program. It still lefts dll files etc. Is it like this in android?
I asked this because I wanna uninstall the apk's in my custom rom like Google Player or DSP Manager. The developer installed them inside the custom rom, so they look like system apps and as a result I can't uninstall them...
replace them via root explorer and check the permission for new file then restart your device and it will work

adroid system are module style, a apk consist of every thing needed to run the apps. but some app need extra lib file, if you can find the lib file used by a apk to run, than you can delete it form system/lib too.
Exactly what the post above said. Some system apps have .lib files (like windows dll) but i would leave them if i were you because your replacement apps might have dependancies on those lib files. Im not entirely sure.
Also, the libs are stored in system/lib

nono ...i copied the apk files from an ics rom tried to put in gingerbread rom...and whie installing i got this error!!
Apps specially for ICS won't work in gb roms. These 2 version of roms are quite different.
Pls don't simply mess up with the roms version.

Btw, if you back up your original rom's apk files, there is a chance to use them on your custom roms. It has a higher chance if your custom is based on your original rom.
For example, I backed up samsung's music player and photo editor apk on original DDLF2 and installed them on my custom Frankestain rom. Now I'm using them with no problems. I must mention, the original fm radio apk didn't work on custom rom, as it needen some special libraries/frameworks.
Hey guys I was wondering can I pull an apk from one ROM and install it in another ROM? I wanted to get the Sony Walkman apk from the "|ROM| Jedi Jelly 727 |4.1.2| UPDATED" Rom and install it into CM10. So I downloaded the Jedi Jelly ROM, unzipped it (on my laptop) went into the app folder pulled the APK for the Sony Walkman and moved it into my SD card. Then tried to install it on CM10. Then install shows up when I press on the Walkman apk and it tries to install but then says app not installed. Was wondering why I would be having this issue? I have done it in the past with some other apks from different roms. Any advice or explanation would be great thank you.

If you check the themes and apps section at acid audio mods has one for Sony walkman with awesome beats etc.. and some time you need to change permissions after you place the apk in the proper file locations then install

Thanks for the advice. Going to go check it out now.
I believe the walkman app would be a system app and you don't "install" system apps. You simply copy and paste the apk to /system/app/ using root explorer, without tapping on it. Then set it's permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot.

How to make a rom from stock rom
As you PM me and asked me to show you how to make a rom from stock rom,here it is:
1.You need rooted phone and Root Explorer
2.Acces system files and extract them into a new folder into your sd card.
3.After exctracting,copy them into your pc.
4.For file 1 you need to copy custpack,boot.img,recovery and check_data_app, and also create 2 empty folders:data and system.You need META-INF,too. Give a name to file 1(ex:my rom file 1)
5.For file 2 you need to copy data and system (from the system files,not the ones you created for file 1),also you need META-INF,installbusybox and logo.bin. Give a name to file 2 (ex:my rom file 2)
6.Create 2 archives (zip): file 1 and file 2.
That's all,now you can try it!
Download "files mod rom+Root Explorer",unzip,copy them:

Both, Jeffta and Gradu is not a rom is the stock rom customized.Hey jeffta when you make ics or jb transfered on this phone then is a rom,made it to you.Any stock rom is the best for now.sorryfor my bad english.
Not a copy!
Like an information for you,if you have doubts,this is not a copy of jeffta's rom,it's made by me from my ot-991's original rom.I didn't tell that my rom is better or worse than jeffta's,i only uploaded for you to try it and enjoy it.So,if you think my rom is better,then use it,if you think jeffta's rom is better,then use that one.Just stop blaming me and appreciate our work and the time we are losing for making new roms and new things for you to enjoy them.
Thank you all!
*For the ones interested,wait for a new rom,i'm working on it (also not a copy of jeffta's rom).
Yup, it's the Jeffta's rom!

Well you'll have to. Its best to flash an entire rom. Lesson learned here I think. Dont mod on the go.

No, system apps are all in the rom, not in Gapps.
Hi,
Try to flash the zip in attachment (wipe Dalvik cache just in case) for Contacts.apk. If you have not a custom recovery extract the file, move it to /system/priv-app, set the correct permissions like the other system apps (rw-r--r--) and reboot.
I gues you are deodexed? Because here it's deodexed...
You still have ContactsProvider.apk or not? I put it in the zip file, delete it if you still have it in /system/priv-app.
Or if you have moved it in another locaton, keep it in the zip but delete it on your phone.
The next time don't forget to make a backup...
Here's 442 stock odex of you need it
Thanks, the odex zip worked, it didn't flash but i pasted the 4 files n set permissions and it worked.
Thanks a lot
