you can try to push them with adb shell.
adb push /pc/directory/apkfilename.apk /system/app
and then reboot.
Or you can open the zip file, add/remove the ones that you want, sign the zip file and flash away.

Yes I agree with this but some apks are dependent of some other apks so really unsure what apks I can remove safely as keeping only apks which I want will not help I will hve to keep dependents also and I'm unsure. I found dream works very fast if gapps r not loaded so looking fine tune n remove non required gapps!

I could not find any information about this in the forums anywhere.
I apologize if it has already been discussed.
My favorite feature in Hero is the browser's ability to prevent websites from showing the mobile view.
I know many sites have a choice for this, but some of them don't.
Has anyone come up with a way to get the stock cupcake browser to fool websites into thinking it is not a mobile browser? Is it even possible?
get loccys browser, it allows you to do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551119&highlight=loccy and much more!
if you cant use adb then just use a file browser such as oi file manager to install, works great!
Thank you for the help.
I have been looking for this forever.
Time to reflash.

It's way easier to install using a file manager than ADB.
Although u can use a fike manager to install apks u cant install system apps like the browser with them. Get SUFBS from the market or get the adb file manager for ur pc. I use the adb manager no need for commands just a few clicks and i can remove and push things at will!
Thanks everyone.
I've already flashed CM 4.0.4 and installed the browser using ADB.
Browser is awesome.
I had this problem to when using cupcake. If you don't have root or want to dal with flashing you can always use a proxy servr also. I used to use youhide.com cuz everytim I went to the ufc website I got the lame mobile site
All I did to install it was download it through my phone browser. Then tap the file in the download manager and installed in seconds.

Again... YES you can. However, it seems only Linda File Manager has the functionality...other file manager's don't. I fooled around with it again today...this time totally removing all browser related files from /system/app, /system/sd/app, and /data/data. I then rebooted and reinstalled Loccy's browser using Linda FM.

I haven't tried downloading it with browser... didn't even think to try it that way. So there are now two ways of doing it on the phone without using terminal or ADB.
I used OI file browser, it worked fine installing the browser!
A lot of system apks can be installed right through linda with no need to push through adb
I always find it easier to use the terminal:
cp /sdcard/blahblah.xxx /system/blah/blah
Here's an update.zip for those having difficulty installing Maps from the Android Market. Details about the update are in the other thread. This updater should install cleanly over the old version (it did for me). If you have issues with FC, try uninstalling the previous version and possibly clearing out the dalvik cache.
Note: Those who are more comfortable with adb can simply extract the apk from the zip file and manually push it into the /system/app folder.

If you have AOSP_ADP_1.6 here is what I had to do:
I had to go to the /expstick/vsapps folder on the ext partition and delete the (mine was called) GoogleMaps.apk there then goto recovery and update the Maps_3.3.0_update.zip file I downloaded from the apps forum to get Maps 3.3.0 to work...

Yes, works! Including Latitude. Regretted removing the previous Maps but now that it all works again I'm happy
Many thanks.
I just did it as the update.zip and it worked like a charm.
I did delete all associated data and remove the previous version of maps before hand though.
I then went into the market and installed over it in there which it did straight away so that I will be notified of any future updates and hopefully be able to install them.

No. This copy is not hacked, it is the original file (you can check the posted md5 against other sources if you like).
How do i apply the update.zip?
I also tried the .apk
didnt work...
/expstick/vsapps folder on the ext partition
how did you get to these files, i cant seem to find them,

Same way you would use any other update.zip: put it at the root directory of your sdcard and reboot into recovery. The apk file has to be pushed into the system app folder to work.
Decided not to say what I had to say - edited to remove it.
Unable to update using any of methotd mentioned here...
I have ADP1 with 1.6 ROM and I am still unable to update Maps. I have removed the previous Maps (3.2. "hacked" to allow European navigation), now I have Maps 3.1.2 installed (I don't know how to uninstall these, there is no option to do so in Application manager).
1) Using the Market results in "INstallation error: Package file was not signed correctly."
2) Using the update.zip provided here results in "Aborting Install" when the yellow bar reaches the middle.
3) Trying to install Maps.apk provided in this thread results in "Application not installed: Maps could not be installed on this phone"

Sounds like your 1.6 is not based on ADP (not using the test keys). This updater is for folks with "rooted" phones only (test keys as opposed to release keys).
BTW in order to uninstall an application contained within the /system/app folder, you have to remount and remove it manually. Application manager cannot do that for you.

My Build number is "dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test-keys". AFAIK, I downloaded this from the official ADP1 firmware page.
I removed Maps.apk file from /system/app/ folder but still the same problem persists, as described above.
Success!
Update: After I did "pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps", I was able to install latest maps from the Market.
Edit: ahh glad it got sorted out.
Was using stock CM 4.2.7.1 on mytouch3g and had nothing but issues trying to upgrade but thanks to this it did the trick, thank you for posting it.
Just realized 3.3.1 just got released, the 3.3.0 file allowed me to upgrade without getting any errors.
cant you just delete is using adb then reinstall it from the market?
I've been switching back and forth in recovery between Modaco's desire rom and CM. Recently I downloaded a couple beta's on the desire rom, which are all now closed, that I'm trying to get back on my CM rom. Is there a way to pull the .apk out of the Desire rom so I can use it with my CM? (Or with froyo or the new desire builds when they come out).
Thanks
Use Titanium Backup. Available for free in the market
Or you could use adb and pull the apks for /system/app or /data/app depending on where it was installed... even if you have app2sd, pull from /data/app will work since it is symlinked...
Code:
adb pull /system/app .
adb pull /data/app .
Most desire apks are not compatible with CM or any other non-sense ui roms.
Search a little and you'll know what i mean

If you read the first post, OP wasn't talking about desire app apk, but rather some 3rd party beta apps apks...
Slighty OT.
When I download & install an app from the market, where does its apk get stored on my Nexus running OS2.1? I went looking but could only find the inbuilt apps in the /system/app folder. I have a couple of apps that I would like to copy to my SD card with ASTRO prior for backup purposes. Thanks.

Depending on the install type specified... the app would either install as a normatl app or a protected app...
Normal apps are stored in /data/app, protected in /data/app-private

At least you need a market app already on your phone.
I think all other ones you can install....
GApps package includes more than just the Google Apps... there are some Google Sync and Backup apps as well... but you could trim down the package to include only those files and remove the actually apps like Gmail...

How can I do it ?
Remove apk's from zip?
Yeah you gotta install gapps or you won't get access to the market
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You need some parts of the GApps part... but you can get rid of all the application like FB, Twitter, GMail, Youtube which are now available via the market. If you want to trim down the package... remove all "now-in-the-market" apps from the zip file and resign it and flash it (search for resigning instructions). If you use clockwork recovery, you can turn off signature checks and leave the zip unsigned and flash it.
You should always update to the latest gapps when available. If you don't, and google releases an update to a google app, it will be installed in the nexus one's pathetic internal storage area. (Yes you can then move it manually using rootexplorer to system data)

I want to try cyanogenmod and install all that is needed, obviously also vending and stuff but I don't want to have goolge+ nor hangout not gmail. Can I install gapps and remove them 100% safely? Is there a way to install only a subset of the apps contained in the zip? Any solution?

Best thing to do is to just flash the gapps then manually remove the apks of the apps you don't want from the system. You could modify the zip (remove apks) resign it and flash the 'lighter' zip, but make sure it is done properly because the last time I done it I ended up in a bootloop which pretty much wasted my time.
What do you mean exactly? Should I flash, boot up, and with a file browser seek these files and delete them, or delete them after flashing, without letting my device boot up?

Flash the ROM then the gapps, then reboot the device via the recovery. Once it is booted use the built in file manager (or your own choice manager) with root access to remove the apks. Once removed reboot the device and your done. This is what I always do, I don't like messing around with zips.
Also be careful of what you remove, if unsure then google the apk name, better safe than sorry.
Or alternatively you can use a claimed to be lightest gapps package.

I'd also recommend using a light/slim/small gapps package, you can find many of them on xda. If some apps are missing (like Gmail or maps), you can install most of them from play store once you have the Google service installed (they are on any gapps package)
