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

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.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda app-developers app
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.

Hi all,
Here is the freshly extracted .apk of photo editor from i9000's value pack system/app.
There was no .odex.
Its can be installed anyway (system/app or normal installation)
Its opening but force closes after selecting picture!
My rom is'nt deodexed. So someone please try it on a deodexed ROM.
THANKS!
force close on a deoxed rom ddkp3
I think it needs porting of some framework files also....try out to find which one....
I think it needs a correct lib file!
Can someone please post the correct lib file to run this?

i have an app installed (from apk file, not google play).
recently i got an updated version of the application (another apk file).
is there ANY way of installing the new version next to old one without overwritting it?
i need to use both versions at the same time.
Why use 2 versions? If its the same app, it will do the same thing as the old one.

Hi,
Backup it with titaniumbackup first, then install new version.
If updated app is not working, just restore the old one.

the files have different name.
Probably they have the same signature or ID or whatever identifies it in Google Play.
Is there any way of changing the parameter identifying the app?

So, I got as far as..... decompiling the app
I am not completely across with programming but I have no clue what I should do next Well... I've never played in programming for android and haven't played in modding or any stuff like that.
SO, Can you guide me what I should do next?
What is activity folder name and where is it stored?
Which entries in smali files are activity paths?
I'll understand if you won't help anymore as it may be too much to go through... honestly, no worries...
This is a link to the app

Any help is appreciated...

I'm trying to do the same thing. With real racing 3. I have an older version that I like a lot for its particular features, plus the latest Ferrari updated version.
I want to have both on my phone. Any way? Also, they have the same exact com.r3 folders, can the modified apk use different data folders?

Hello
I find the phone.apk from the tw rom very slow. Can I replace it with the phone.apk from a i9505G rom? Can someone provide a phone.apk from a i9505G?
It won't work. There will be missing methods from the framework files. You probably want the dialler and contacts apps anyway, which will work.
installing?

Use a root explorer. Copy them in, delete the SecContacts.apk file, reboot.
Does anyone have a working My Files apk they could share? I never use the Samsung file manager, but recently wanted to go back to s-note (mainly use repligo) because the pen works better for it. Sadly, Samsung makes you use their file manager instead of a third party like ES, and I deleted My Files already.
I've tried a few other My Files apks from other roms, but never got them working.
Also, s-note does not sync with dropbox, right? I only see Gdrive for cloud storage.
