Hi,
This would be a more suitable place to post basic Android Information, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general
I will say though, this is very basic information and common knowledge for most. Up to you if you want to post there though.
Good luck!

First, you need ROOT access to do this. It will fix the security force-close and enable the uninstall of apps.
1 - Download FIXV2 here - http://d-h.st/gMh
2 - Extract the file to your desktop and copy the files inside "FIRMWARE\IMAGE" folder to your phone.
3 - Download root explorer from play store and move those files to the firmware\image directory located on your phone.
4 - Long press each file and set permition to RW-R-R (0644) (You do this by selecting OWNER to read and write, GROUP to read and OTHERS to read.
5 - Reboot and try accessing settings.
Thanks to ferreinf for the link and how to do it, I just tried to do this as much newbie proof as possible.

No, it has nothing to do with what you want and there's absolutely no point in doing what wanna do either. You can not reclaim the free space to yourself and that would yet prevent you from installing OTA updates. The best way around this is to unable the system apps you don't wanna run.

[GUIDE] How Install a App as System APP

You need to be rooted and I recommend use root explorer
The Automatic Way - Just Download titanium Backup or similar app Select the app and just hit covert to System app and reboot and if it force closes even on reboot go down the thread!!
Manual Way
1) Select the Apk Which you Want
2) Take the apk from SD card and copy the apk to /Root/System or any where in the Root
3 )Click yes When it Ask you Whether You Want to
Code:
The Current Files System is Read-only. Do You Want to remount as read-write and continue the Operation?
4) Select the file and change the permissions of the apk under select permissions
4) Tick all the boxes under read and only the first one under write and click OK
5) It should look like rw-r--r--
6) Then cut the Apk and pate it to /Root/System/app
And reboot and enjoy
The the app force closes (For Example - Swift Key ) go here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661238
Hit Thank If It Helped You
You may also need to move files from /data/data. For example moving Swiftkey needs moving files from /system/lib and /data/data

OR you just use "Titanium Backup" from the google Playstore. Mark the app you like to convert and press "Convert to system app"

I simply used twrp to copy some apps into /system/app
Hi, while millions of people wanted to change normal apps into system apps. I want to change system apps into normal apps.
I know this is the weirdest request you never found on xda history. But I need to remove system privilege on Google Photos because it blocks me from controlling background power consumption (only user app can be changed like that). I'm on realme UI 2.0 unrooted, if it has to be root I'd still take your advice. Thanks.

[Completed] [Q] Font missing in root directory - error pasting font in root directory

Hi everyone,
First of all I need to say thank you for all your work and tutorials and guides and so on. It's great to be here and I hope I can get into Android and use all of it's abilities.
So back to topic:
I created a widget in Zooper and wanted to save it as APK to give it to friends or even share it online. When saving I got the error message that the font used in the widget can not be found in '/fonts/ folder. I downloaded the ttf and went to ES File Explorer, created a 'fonts' folder on the root directory (path: /fonts) and tried to copy the downloaded file into the new folder. But then ES says there's not enough space left to paste this file into the folder.
Actually the file is about 18 kB and I have approx. 4 GB left on my device. ES has root access and I even set r/w-rights to all folders in ES settings.
When copying the file in recovery mode it succeeded, but after boot the folder has gone.
I also tried with adb but this didn't come to success anyway.
My system is an SGS5 klte, running CM12 on TWRP with SuperSU.
It's my first question here, so please tell me if I did something wrong or I forgot to mention something important for you. I really tried to find an answer to this here and in other websites, but I didn't.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I can't find anything relating to your question on XDA, please ask your question in the Zooper Widget General section:

Good luck!
