Does anyone know which APK's are safe to delete directly from:
/system/app (using Root Explorer)?
I've tried TB but it keeps failing, can't seem to enable apps from "uknown sources"... But I think thats not just me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi, I have been flashed the CM6.1, and just now i tried to use root explorer to install some modded widget by the putting them in system/apps method. But it doesn't work anymore. After i have put the .apk there, i go to the add widget page and i can't found that specific widget. It works perfectly when i am using my stock 2.1 rom. Can anyone give some possible solution? Appreciate it so much !
Do you set the permissions correctly?
Do you restarted the phone after past the apk in system/app?
I guess you have to reboot and then click on the apk through root explorer and select install also before they appear on the menu.

Oh yes. You guys have figured out the problem. I didn't set the permission correctly therefore it doesn't work.
So I just installed Gingerbread JVH on my phone. Deleted all the useless apps out using Root Explorer but I ran into a problem.
I cant open the default calendar app. It force closes.
I guess I removed something I should not have removed.
In my system/app folder I still have:
-TouchwizCalendar.apk
-TouchwizCalendar.odex
So it has to be something else that causes the problem. Anyone know which file and maybe can upload it for me?
Thanks
EDIT: did some more research, I think I'm missing the Calendarprovider.apk.
Could someone maybe upload it for me from JVH or JVO?
I have a rooted samsung fascinate, with stock rom/kernal..
Anywho I was playin around with installing some apps and I wanted to install the free version of Printershare, but instead of getting it from the market I used an APK file to install it from my sd card. Well the file appears to have been corrupted, so I attempted to uninstall it through root explorer, as well as remove all traces of the program. When I went to reinstall the program from the APP market, I now get the error "Installation Failed.. Update Incompatible." I searched around to figure out what that meant and in the process I noticed that the com.dynamixsoftware.printershare package was still listed in my manage apps section, but I am not able to uninstall it from there. I searched for it in root explorer but like I said I deleted all traces of printershare before so i didnt find it there. If anybody can help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!! THX!
PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong section I'm new to XDA
Try downloading Titanium Backup from the market. There is a free version and it should take care of your problem. If not, some others have recommended a program simply called Installer for Root.
Hi All,
I had this problem with I uninstalled SwiftKey. When I tried to re-install it from the PlayStore I now get this message.
My device is not yet rooted and based on the solutions that I've read, you need to have access to the data\data folder which using the file explorer, has no files most probably because it's not rooted.
Is there other way to solve this issue without being rooted?
Thanks a lot!
Guys, previously i have no problem delete any stock apps using root explorer/fx explorer.
But since i updated to lollipop and install back root explorer, it seems like something has changed.
Previously i just need to go system > app > then it will appear full list of item installed on my phone.
Now when i entering it showing list of folder only, in the folder it just an apk only...
Please help...Thank you
Yeah, its normal, nothing to be stressed about.
You can just delete those folders.
Btw the stock apps are not only in system/apps
But also priv-apps
Hope this helps
Thanks for the suggestion.
But im wondering delete the folder doesnt mean it uninstall the apps right ?
Also, previously unsintall any apk doesnt required reboot, but now it need to reboot only it take affect.
