I have tried converting an app to system app using:
System app converter
Link2SD
/system/app/mover
None of them works.
The app disappears (already checked play store that it's not installed, and it is also gone from the app drawer) after reboot
Please help.

Hi
Don't know as much about the Android OS compared to windows (and I do not have google playstore (marketplace) on my tablet
Is deleting an apk = to uninstalling the application. (Yes I have access to /system/bin as my device is rooted) or is it more like the apk is the executable while the executed program is some place(s) else like it is in windows OS
What are the other ways of uninstalling an android app ( I know one is clicking the apk already in the download folder)
Thanks
Its best to just uninstall it, then you will get rid of its data etc.
I'm sure there are plenty of uninstall apps, I use ROM Toolbox.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No it wont uninstall the app when u delete its apk,
when u completely uninstall a app it will delete its data but since u dont have a google play store the apk will stay,
so whenever u want to install it again execute the game .apk but ofcourse u wont able to get ur last game data or atleast u have a backup of it.
U can install a third party app that uninstall app and system app but i know there's other way to uninstall a app without installing uninstaller app but it can only uninstall a app that youve downloaded but not the system apps. just search on how to uninstall an app depends on ur phone or tablet.
Hello everyone,
I have an issue, uninstalled the play store app completely from the system and downloaded the most recent one from an XDA thread. After re-installing it does not work. It says (Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped working). Now I've tried some method like clearing the cache and data from both the play store and google play services. I also did a factory reset using TWRP, everything is back to normal except the play store app which did not installed by itself but I had to re download it fro XDA. How can i fix the app so I can use it again? Could it be that is not working cause is not in the system folder anymore? if so how can I put the app back there? Thank you in advance for any help you may give me. :fingers-crossed:

What I did was reinstall gapps
Flash arm 5.1 and full package, you can uninstall the unwanted apps with rom manager or something
Hi everyone.
Running stock OP6 latest update.
Installed settings app from apk mirror and now the same won't open up instead keeps stopping again and again.
Since it won't open I can't uninstall it.
Anyone has a clue what to do about it?
Thanks in advance.
Edit. Same happening with dialer and contacts app.
Both updated through apk mirror.
Although Camera, Gallery and Files app work perfectly fine.
Anyone with an answer?
How to revert back to previous app version?
Edit : Finally had to reset my device and things settled. Although all my data is gone.
I suppose just too bad for me.
But I'm facing a pesky issue.
The files app shows no data but my gallery is picking up old garbage even after wiping the device clean. (Foolish of me not backing up the data)
PS I used the hard reset if anyone's wondering using the device's stock recovery.
I'll share the screenshot of the same..
Kindly suggest what's wrong with this..
i think u can uninstall app from the app drawer. long press the settings icon , and click uninstall if the options is available. if it isn't , u can re flash the whole rom by dirty flashing it. it shouldn't wipe the data.
As Azhar_Fahry mentioned, you can uninstall an app / app update from app drawer.
1. Tap and hold to get the options
2 (if OP launcer is updated), drag the icon to top (from app drawer) and you can select app info and then uninstall updates.
Alternatively,
You can install Link2SD and uninstall app / app updates from there.

Again system apps can't be uninstalled normally.
Secondly I'm not rooted to used link2SD.
I think need to dirty flash my phone.
System apps cannot be uninstalled if not rooted, but you can uninstall updates installed from play store or any external source. (You can reset the system app(s) to Rom default)
Attaching Scrrenshots - Follow from 1-end, click OK at the end. ( I am showing example of gmail, you can use it for any other systrm app too)
Naming screenshots 1-2-3-4-5 according to steps.
Uninstall updates to the settings app maybe. But if not dirty flashing the ROM will work

Not working since again settings app kept stopping.
Dirty/Fresh Install of Rom it is then
Cannot uninstall an app that I downloaded from Playstore
I tried to uninstall the app
1. Using playstore
2. Third-party apps
3. Via adb
it'll show that the app is uninstalled but no.. I cannot install new version of the app / apk.
Please see the reference video. Thank you

Scan with Malwarebytes.
Scan app file with online Virus total if you can.
Bad uninstalls don't happen as much on Android as Windows but all it takes is one to screw up the system.
SD Maid might be able to clean it up.
This is a great app for unrooted phones.
If you can't sort it... it will be reload time.
I tried installing YouTube app on my Tecno pouvoir 2 air LB6 from Google play store but failed severally. When I tried installing the apk, package installer detected it as an update to an already existing app and the installation failed.
I searched through the system directory and found YouTube as one of the system app but it was deactivated in someway
Pls does anyone knows how to activate or enable it?
i think you need to delete youtube app and reinstall
I can't delete, it's a system app and I find it hard to root my phone

The app icon does not appear on the installed apps list on the apps and notification settings
did you search youtube on google play and did that?
