I want to install some of the apps from below, but some require to uninstall a APK in the System/App folder. I can locate them with ES File Manager however I just have delete as an option. No uninstall. Is there a free app that I can use to uninstall such a APK? I know through application manager you can uninstall certain apps, but the one I need is not in there listed. Thanks in advance.

You dont uninstall them you either delete them or rename them. I suggest renaming them to something like appname.apk.bak.

Instructions from the site "You need to uninstall GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk or QuickSearchBox.apk or Velvet.apk all from System/app and reboot.. Then install mine like a normal application"
Above is for the blacked out Google Now. On my phone the APK is named Velvet.

Hi,
I am based in the Middle East and do not have market in my galaxy tab. I hard reset my device and installed astro file explorer to check if vending.apk is available. It does show vending.apk, but the file size is zero and more over in system/app ,all the applications have .apk & .ODEX file but vending has only .apk ,which is 0 bytes. How can i replace the vending.apk and also add vending.odex to system/app. I tried root explorer but couldnt successfully paste vending.apk file. Any help will be really appreciated.
I can help,
Just type *#272*IMEI*
A screen will show, select SGX, (just back up everything before doing this)
your device will reboot, and you will find the market icon.
Download all market apps you want.
Have Fun
I have a stock Sensation, temp-rooted, and have a couple of themed apps I like (TweetDark, Transparent G+). Using root explorer, I navigate to downloads on my SD, select the APK and select install. It prompts that the app will replace an existing one, keeping user data (normal). It asks me to accept permissions (normal). It says installing (normal). Then is says Application Not Installed with a Done button (definitely not normal). I have third party apps allowed, and it let me install an APK that wasn't an overwrite, so why can't I install my themed APKs? Any suggestions/information would be most helpful.

you cant because the stock rom is .odex you need to de-odex the rom or apk for it to work or backup both the apk and .odex files to your sd now delete the .odex file install your apk and reboot
Thanks for your answer. I was afraid it would be something like that. The phone's a loaner as part of a T-Mobile feedback program so I don't want to muck with it to much.

I deleted these two apps to install Nexus 4 clock app, but it did not work. I would appreciate it if someone can share them with me. Thanks

What exactly are you trying to do?
I uninstalled htcclockwidget and world clock to install nexus 4 clock, but it didn't work. Now I'm trying to reinstall those apps, but it doesn't work. I used root explorer to move the apks in the system/app folder to install.

are you installing the apks? thaat probably wont work, what you would do is take the apks and move it into system/apps using a file explorer that has root access like rootexplorer paste it back into the system/app directory with all the other system apps and set the correct permissons and reboot and you should be okay

It seems that TB is good for integrating most updates but on a few important ones using Google services it seems to break the device.
What has everyone else done to integrate updates to save on space?

Im guessing the procedure stays the same for most other apps? Except some get renamed and go in system/app?
Also what about apps with an odex file? Just move the app/apk the odex files doesn't get touched does it?

You need to uninstall the app, delete the app's folder from /data/data, delete any traces of the app from your external sdcard, and then reboot. The app will be totally gone.
After that, re-install and enjoy!

The folder name should match up with the package name. To find that, go to /data/app and locate the game's .apk file in that directory. Write down or memorize the exact name of the .apk file. Then, go back to /data/data, and look for the folder with the same name as what you wrote down. When you find that, make sure it is gone after you uninstall the app.
Then, you need to clear your SD card of all data traces from the game. This can be found with a little exploration.
