Hey guys, So I rooted last night and installed titanium backup and removed amazon mp3 and city id.. then i did a test to see if i could simply restore them by titanium backup. I quickly found out that it could not do that. My phone is working fine I am just concerned for when any new update comes out that my phone wont be able to update.
What do I need to do to reinstall these apps as system apps. I have the .apk and placed it in System/App and installed, but it just installs as a normal application. I am sure I am missing something here.
Will amazon mp3 and city id be required when I do the next android update?
You might find a system dump in the dinc forum. For future reference use titanium pro to "freeze" all the unwanted apps meaning all things verizon. They can easily be un-frozen when you need to ota update.
good day. From my Fascinate using the XDA app.
I actually like and paid for this app but since rooting and installing GummyCharge I don't have it and can for the life of me figure out how to get a working copy. I could use some help.
Thanks,
Brad
Did you pay for it through the market or through the app?
Through the App. I can't find it listed on Market. Couldn't find it in V-Cast Apps either.
Try going to the game's website (http://www.gameloft.com/smartphone/lets-golf-2/) and logging in with whatever info you used during the purchase. They should have a record of it.
Even if I bought it through Verizon? It was billed to my Verizon Wireless account.
The developer should still have a record. They had to be the one to bill it to verizon and had to have known what number to bill to
Charge Posted
The record of us buying it isn't the problem, the problem is that with the rom(gummy charged) it's taken out and also it's not in the toolbox, I want it too, I paid for it, I got my media hub back from the toolbox, but I can't find let's golf 2 either, maybe I can find an apk somewhere.

I have the exact opposite problem you have. I can't seem to get rid of it. Every time I uninstall it, it reappears in my settings>applications>manage applications list (but not in the apps page where you run everything) I can't actually play it though... and I don't know where the apk would be.
couldn't you pull it from one of the stock roms around. Isn't there a a full odin leak?
You could always just google around and find a lets golf 2 apk file...it shouldn't be too hard honestly.
I did find a copy and installed it. the only problem it didn't fit the screen. I don't know how to pull a file from a ROM.

You're not the only one with that problem lol. I've flashed roms, restored apps, and then go into manage apps and am like WTF! that wasn't on my phone when i created the backup.
I have the opposite problem as you, I want to get rid of it. I uninstall it but every time I reboot my phone it comes back...any suggestions? Already tried deleting it with titanium pro and still came back.

same problem here, thought i deleted it yesterday, but back again today?????
Bump. Just wondering if anybody has figured out how to delete this app - no matter what I try it keeps reinstalling itself. On gummy charged 1.91 EE4, with pbj kernel. I have tried tb uninstall, uninstall from task manager, freeze in tb. It is really annoying. Thanks for the help.

I have a thought. Go into System/App folder. See if it is there. If not look in the Data/App folder. I believe the name is something like com.gameloft.android.GAND.GloftLG2P.ML-1.apk. If it is rename it or delete it.
I deleted it out of the dalvik cache, the /data folder and the /preinstall folder. After a reboot, this is what shows up:

(dropbox as I don't know how to use the forum app to upload photos)
I can't find it in any more folders....it's super annoying...

Did you look in the System/App folder?
Yea it isn't in there. I have never had thus happen with an app before. I deleted my titanium backup of it also. I guess I will just try and ignore it....

permanent delete of lets golf2
Has anyone figured out how to delete this game yet? Like other people the game just keeps coming back after I reboot. I'm sure there are other more important issues out there but if anyone knows how to get ride of this game I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
Update - downloaded root explorer from the market
1) goto preinstall/apps
2) Delete the game
3) reboot
4)Delete from your backup aswell
Looks the game has been permanently removed. found the info on android central post by noobsickle

Another noob question...What is the difference between freezing an app and uninstalling one? I mean, it's a bit obvious, but also a bit vague...
My first few questions are rather broad/major... What's the different between a "package" and a ".APK" based on the spreadsheet being linked? Does freezing keep the process from restarting upon rebooting the phone??
Do I want to freeze apps that I want to keep for possible future use? Uninstall is for anything I want to get rid of completely and never plan to use, correct? I likely know the answers to these...But I also read that freezing an app is better and frees up more system resources than uninstalling....how can that be true? I assume uninstalling an app also "freezes" it, AKA stops it from processing...Correct?
So apps I might want in the future, like clock widgets, I just want to freeze, correct? Same for calender, calculator, etc?
On the other hand, I was to uninstall items like VZW Navigator, correct?
Sorry for redundent questions but I'm just making sure I do everything right.

From what I understand, freezing essentially deactivates the app. As long as the app is frozen, it should not start, regardless if your phone reboots. If you freeze the app, it will still be there, just not working where as uninstalling it will completely remove the app. If you are not sure if you want it, just freeze it.
Freeze disables it and leaves it in the rom and usually hides from app drawer. Uninstall deletes it from rom making rom footprint smaller but saves it in TIBU backup folder. Defrost re-enables app in rom. Uninstalled apps can be reinstalled from TIBU. Bottom line frozen app is still in rom thus not actually debloated just disabled. Uninstalled is removed from rom but saved by TIBU thus debloated.
hi all,
hope this is the right forum.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have an updated list for TW 4.3?
I have this link
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1#gid=0
but it's clearly old as I don't see listings for Cloud and Backup Assistant Plus, which appear to be some Verizon (not Samsung) backup options.
Anyone have a current list?
Although I had rooted my SK4G a while back, it took me a while to get the courage to flash a ROM.
But yesterday, I successfully flashed MeMory. First off, many thanks to TheLastSidekick. He did such a better job than TMobile devs.
I could go on and on about his great work, but my only complaint is about Lightening Launcher which I can not warm to. I purchased and installed Holo Launcher Pro and would like to get rid of LL. Forgive my noob question, but are apps such as these removable in a custom ROM? Or do I have to freeze them with a third-party app. Or is LL a necessary component of the OS, used or not?
For that matter, I wouldn't mind getting rid of the stock browser, either. But again, I don't want to break anything.
Again, especially, thank you, LastSideKick,
Jake
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
rm eachappyouwanttoremove.apk
When your finished reboot
So no, not needed if you have another launcher

Thank you for a quick, very helpful response.
Been running MeMory for two days now, and have yet to see the same problems I had w/ the rooted stock ROM: the maddening delays when trying to get to Phone, the occasional inability to physically answer a call, and the general slowness going from app to app.
Memory managment seems much better as well.
I hate that cliche "breathed new life into my phone," but MeMory really has
Jake
I've been using MeMory for almost a year with only one complaint: the JB keyboard does not work. Does it work on your phone?
In addition to using ADB, you can use a 3rd party app like Root App Delete by TopDev to remove system apps (those that came with the custom ROM). There's also a mode to disable an app first to make sure your phone works without it.
I have noticed crashing w/ JB keyboard. I must admit, I didn't pay much attention since I always use the physical KB. Thanks for the Root App Delete tip. I may look into that or just blast away with ADB and delete LL. But I would like to test the removal of the stock browser to see how phone functions without that.
Jake
I usually use the physical keyboard, too, but sometimes it's more convenient to use the screen keyboard. You can install the keyboard of your choice (Swype, Swift, Perfect Key, etc.) and then remove the JB keyboard.
I deleted the stock browser and installed a different browser with no problems.
Thanks much for your follow-up. I'm glad to hear that stock browser can be removed.
Jake
You can just disable them by renaming the extension, in case you need to have them in the future...
On the Droid2 I had to rename them *.bapk, as renaming them .bak, or *.apk.bak didn't work... VZ was wise to my first attempt, preemptively.
Here's the interesting thing: deleted gmail, stock browser successfully. Could not delete LL. I removed its apks, but it's still available in Apps and still starts. Is it hidden someplace else? Or really burned into the ROM?
Jake
Go to app store there is a app call /system/bin
This app will make all per programmed apps like YouTube or even play store deleteable
Then you just have to go to your settings apps look for launcher and delete..
Also ics keyboard is really good IMO . don't know if it works or not for the rom

Ah, okay. In the meantime, I had installed "Uninstall" which is a system app remover and it finally remove LL.
Jake
/system/bin isn't an app, its a system folder. You uninstall apps from there. An app that does this uninstall system process is the donate version of titanium backup.

Hello everyone, I am looking for advice/solution from all of you genius people.
I have decompiled an Android Pie rom. I want to delete preinstalled apps from it (bloadtware). However, when I am deleting apps from Product/app folder, they're coming back in Rom and still working on device. What could possibly making them to be installed again?
I am working on Slimbox Rom and trying to customize it for Radxa Zero.
Thanks
Since the upgrade to KK, across several Roms, I have run into an issue when an app updates. I am currently running C-Rom, but it has also happened to me on Pacman, Resurrection, Beanstalk, and a few others. When certain apps update, they no longer work. The icon is removed from the app drawer and replaced with the com.developername.apk path where the app data is usually stored and the app fc on opening. It has happened to different apps on different ROMs, but the usual culprits are IPcam Viewer, Tasked, and Macronos. (I don't use Macronos anymore since Sonos came out with their own app). I have uninstalled the app, both thru the app manager and using root explorer. When using root explorer, the apk is nowhere to be found. The only way I've found to resolve this, is to use TiBu to restore an older, working version.
TL: DR - my apps are screwing up and not installing correctly when they update. Can't figure out why.
Anyone have any ideas?
