Please reply... (?)
Help me and I will hit the THANKS button for you!
Bye!

Why you want to delete?
It does not free up internal storage, only free rom storage.

You need to make sure before you delete camera that you another camera apk is set to default, if its not your camera wont start...and browser you can delete since there is no harm to your phone if you delete it.
P.S. Try and see you can always copy them back from another rom...

yes u can delete browser.apk, not sure abt camera,cos i never tried myself

I doubt about camera, because some apps uses default camera app to take photos (e.g. WhatsApp)

Is it true if I delete these files, it will not increase internal memory?

Yap, it's true.
The files you want to delete live inside of /system/app, so it's the /system partition.
The things that eat up the internal storage space are the user apps installed in the /data partition (EDIT: and the application data the apps store in /data/data).
If you want to reclaim internal storage you better move apps to the SD ... though keep in mind that they won't automatically come back in case of a Full-Wipe (though you will still find parts of them sitting around on your SD).

Thanks very much for everyone's help! If I have any more questions,I think I will just ask here...

Check whether this application are installed to SD card
Setting - application - On SD card
if yes, move them to phone.

oFT: hey doc, just a q...
isn't this the Music Player app that the OP is talking about? hmm Music player as far as I know are system apps and so therefore you really can't move them over to the SD card right?
yes right, i didn't remark which application OP have mentioned, but this error is classic with app on SD with new launcher.
Edit :
And look to symbol, it suggest SD card

How to install NFS:MW?

Sorry if its been asked and resolved earlier. I just downloaded the apk and sd data for NFS:MW. Now the internal memory left on my dhd is like 866MB. And the extracted sd data is around 1.86gb! Where should I move it?? I mean i cant really move it to /data/data/com.nfs...... as there is no space. I have link2sd and a 4gb ext2 partition but not sure how and where to move this sd data.
Sorry we don't help support installing pirated apps here.

Useless but funny reply! Just because I don't wanna download game data directly on the device (IDM works way much faster) doesnt mean I got a pirated copy. BUT PHLLEEAAASE can you shed some light over "Google Apps" in Custom Roms HERE...even the one you're using on your Inspire? Thanks for the reply though...gonna keep this thread alive for a while
Issue solved!! Mods pls remove the thread.

dont think cm's camera has that option enabled yet. you may try few things, like using iodak's ported stock camera app for aosp roms, or extracting the gallery2.apk file from a rom which has "save to external sd card" option in their camera (probably all 4.2.2, 4.3 and some 4.4 roms)
I dont see that option to store pictutes, too. I use DSLR Camera

On Vanir but...
it's the same for me. Ever since moving from Vanir 4.3.x to Vanir 4.4.x. At first I thought it was just an omission in the cam settings, but since then I've encountered a few strange things that led me to believe it wasn't (just) an omission in the settings. I use FTPServer usually to transfer stuff from PC to ext SD and it too can't write to external SD, then I went and tried with ES File Explorer and RootExplorer - all same. This all seems to me as it's an permissions (mounting?) problem and, since I see now it's not specific to Vanir, I'm inclined to conclude it's got something to do with KitKat itself. I'm going to try and find a solution, if I do, I'll bring it back home (here). Beware, I'm a total noob Android-wise, so if anyone who knows better sees this thread, please help.
EDIT 1: Damn, I'm a new user, so I can't post external links. I'll try and "describe" it.
It's at world wide web dot androidauthority dot com slash galaxy-s4-gpe-android-4-3-sd-card-fix-254960 slash
It seems to me that could be/lead to a solution to our problems. Will investigate and update.

our external sd card isn't mounted as writable by default in kitkat. danny1990 has a fix in beanstalk topic, you gotta change permissions.xml file, really easy to do. the important thing is if there is an *option* inside camera app to save to sd-ext (if there is, your pictures will turn out corrupted untill you fix permissions.xml)
edit:
yeah, it's platform.xml, and the fix is the same as the one in that article.
Thanks
Yeah, I've just "fixed" the permissions in platform.xml and all the file explorers and the ftp server now work as before. Unfortunately, the cam app still doesn't have "choose storage location" option; it's obviously left out in the app. Thanks for your help, mate.
Also, if there's anyone on the new Vanir Nightly, did your cam app start lagging like crazy on the last two nigthlies? On 011714 and 011814 my cam is unusable. What's it like for you on CM? It takes about 20 seconds from "button press" to it taking the photo. Everything else in the cam app works without lag (focusing, change of focal point, settings, switching to gallery, between gallery and cam-view, between taken pictures... I'm to new to post in the development section, so if there's anyone that has a simmilar experience with our cam app on the latest nigthtlies, it'd be very nice if he/she'd post it in the Vanir thread. Thanks

try grabbing gallery2.apk from beanstalk, and using it in your vanir nightly; beanstalk build has a camera that supports choosing of storage location.
also, does the lag you get from camera happen only when you manually focus, or even when you just press shutter without manually focusing?

Thanks. Will look into it. (I've never disassembled an Android ROM, so I don't know what I'll find in the zip, but I'll gladly read up on it and learn).
EDIT: Tried the gallery2.apk from beanstalk, no changes. The option for storage location doesn't appear. Tried installing camera2.apk from the same ROM, but got denied with something like "the same apk already installed, conflicting signatures". There's also no change in camera lag.

Unfortunately it happens no matter what I do / how I take a photo (I've just tried doing it without focusing manually.). About 15-20 second lag. Also, I've just noticed that it doesn't record video. When I press the "rec" button, the timer starts counting, but the display freezes (not the whole display, but the "live action display" (displays what you're recording) and when I stop the recording after about 30 seconds, nothing is saved.
EDIT: I've also noticed that Instagram (unlike foursquare, whatsapp & facebook, which obviously use the "stock" cam app) takes photos in normal time frame, but that it also doesn't save the video. I press&hold to record, when I release, there's nothing recorded.
Hmmm, maybe official cm11 team derped sth in last nightlies. And my bad, you meed camera2.apk,not the gallery one, but first you must delete your original camera2.apk, then put beanstalks camera2.apk in system/app and set permissions like other apks have, and reboot. This is screenshot of beanstalks camera settings, notice the location is set as sd card.
Thanks. Will try that as soon as I'm done with work stuff... Maybe the Beanstalk cam helps. Thanks again

Done as you've said, now both the front camera (that doesn't work in latest three Vanir nightlies - 19,18,17) and the "main" camera work. The lag isn't present when automatically focusing, but presents itself when using manual focus (manual focal point selection). Also, it now saves to external sd.
The video still freezes after a couple of seconds, the timer continues counting, but no video saved.
Thanks a lot for your help. I'll try and learn about logging and reporting bugs to the devs... give, what little I have to give, back to the guys who spend their precious time and brainpower for all of us. See you around.

lag is present in manual focus, yeah, hopefully that'll be fixed soon. if you don't want to bother, install iodak's ported official camera, it has working manual focus, and it also has save to external sd option. check themes&apps subforum.
video isn't working yet on roms based on unofficial cm11, and vanir official (like omni official, and slimkat (un)official) is based on our unofficial cm11 sources ^^
if you really really need video, try cyanfox or official cm11 nightlies, they have working camera, but at the cost of lower performance and some other bugs
devs already know about the issue we have with camera, so no need to report it (you can check cm11 unofficial/omnirom threads for updates about camera problems). good luck and enjoy :good:

Awesome! You the man. I will delete the previous one from my System and move this APK there.
Edit:
Question.
Not quite sure what you mean by set permissions like other applications. Once I move it to the system\app do I need to do anything else?

yeah, you need to modify it's permissions to 644, or rw-r-r. you should be able to do that with most file explorers, i personally use root browser

Alright that's what I thought. I use root explorer to do so. I will do that once I get home and report back.
Another question. My wife has a Galaxy S3 and just updated to 4.4. This fix should work for her right? Lol I've only done the Optimus lines so I wouldn't know.

the 4.4 on her phone is cm11 too, right? if so, i recommend she downloads beanstalk/any other rom that has sd card option, but for her device, and extract it from there. you can try with the apk i uploaded, but make sure you make a backup

[Q] Do the Cynaogen mod and Slim Roms (kitkat versions) implement Apps2SD

Hi I am not allowed to post in the developers section yet.
Can one of the users of the new Slim ROM or Cyanogen Mod roms for Locked bootloader tell me if they also implement or allow Apps2SD or do you have to use either Folder Mount or Link2SD.
Thanks very much

I've didnt see such option from time when internal memory get more than 5GB.
Only whith apps 5GB of memory is enough. Link2SD or Integrated Apps2SD moved only APK files and datas like saves which is also stored in internal memory. For data files (games obb files for example) you have to use apps like Folder Mount, or mount folders by ownmade script, or "from finger" in Terminal Emulator.
That's a shame I'll stick with stock running version . 257

internal is more than enough... theres app called app2sd or link2sd... those should do it.. but things u have to rmember.. why sony dont put app into sd is it will make the app run slower n laggy... bcos the pathways is bcame complex and the read/write from external is much more slower than internal.. just put music n photo to external.. clear everything except apps into it.. that should do it
That confirms to me that I should stick with what I have currently.

[Q] Issues with Titanium Backup for ROYAL ROM

Hi nrupesh2912,
First of all Thanks for your excellent work for the ROM. It works very smoothly. I`m also impressed with the battery life. Also the camera resolution looks improved. I`m very a happy. I have one quick question regarding Titanium Backup. It looks like it is a system App. I want to uninstall this app as it is a trial version. Could you let me know how do I do this.
Regards,
Pavan

Hi nrupesh,
I noticed that with Titanium backup when I move all the user apps from phone storage to Internal Card after restart they are back in phone storage.
Looks like the default storage is Phone and not internal Storage. I also tried with Link2SD and clean master but all of them fail as after sometime they come back to phone.
please help.
Thanks
