To move some apps like android terminal emulator you must add lib(from this app) to /system/lib or something else. About titanium backup/pro i preffer to stayin' it in /data

OK i mean the some app like Root Explorer don't need to move lib(s) (from this app) to /system/lib to working fine without ForceClose(FC) but some apps like Android Terminal Emulator need to move lib(s) (from this app, just open it like package file as rar or zip with 7zip or winrar on PC and copy lib(s) from folder(s)) to /system/lib. But i don't know how Titanum Backup work when you copy this app to /system/app and change permisions(rw-r--r-- / 644) and restart phone. Maybe it'll work good without FC or will FC . I hope you understand what i tell you

^^ THIS
make sure you have root, download and install Link2SD then grand access to root permission (if not using to to make more space or its orginal intended use) then skip when it asks for partition info by pressing back.
select app you want to move then select convert to system app for normal apps or intergrade update into system for updates to system apps like playstore etc.
REBOOT phone after doing it all to get rid of forsed closes. Some apps dont like being used like this. You can also try Apps2Rom in playstore I have used but prefer L2SD as I use it for more memory my linking apps to the SD

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

The thing is, my /data folder appears as empty and I have 80 apps installed!! I am using ASTRO file manager.

The only thing you have to do, is putting the .apk to /system/app.
From then on, they can't be uninstalled.
The error could occur for example because system wasn't mounted as rw.
When i only transfer the apk then the App is not seen in the drawer
Is there a other Folder where the informations are saved from the app??
Get the app named SGS tools you can uninstall samsung default apps with it then get the app installer (by Rythm software) it check all your phone for apk and install it

That means with App Installer i can move the apps to the system?? Like the SGS Tool?
Well if you remove samsung player and install android's original you'll have only this player so that's it ...
I just use "adb install application.apk" and it works fine for me...

Thanks for the Link, but 'm searching for a Way to save My Apps to the System..

Hey i just rooted my Optimus 2x and removed two system apps with Titanium Backup Pro..
before that i made a backup of the apps with Titanium backup, but there is just one problem, it only made a backup of DATA not the APP....
so now i have removed the CAR HOME APP and F-Secure APP and don't have backup...
my question is....
Do I have a problem, if i need to make a hard reset with VOL + HOME, POWER. when im missing those system APPs ??
No problem
@dk_iceman
What did you do to remove f-secure? Could you please provide a very short summary of what you did? I'm curious if it's really enough to remove the apk? And what do you mean by data? After a restart of the phone, did the app really disappear?
thanks!

And yes... It sticks efter reboot and factory reset.

you can just use ADB to push the apk's back on your system if you want.
Odd. For some reason i cant mount system as rw with adb "remount failed: Operation not permitted"
But you can just put the apk's on your sd card in stead and then copy them to system/app using root explorer
Duplication

Open the SuperUser app and "forget" the entry "unknown" then:
Code:
adb shell
$ su
#
And you'll get prompted on the phone screen to allow root access.

Yeah... my bad... just realised that 2 mins ago... was about to post.
So if you take a backup with titanium backup, it will not backup the app. And if you delete apps, with titanium backup are they removed completely from the ROM/ROOT, and a factory reset will not bring them back?
Man just deleted F-secure, SNS, App advisor and the live wallpapers, with titanium backup, and these will not come back if I make hard reset, does anyone have the SNS 1.0 and the Christmas/Firework live wallpapers?

Download my rom dump, extract files and just copy files back with root explorer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987989
You should user soft "SystemApp Remover" to remove app you want. This is very cool app . There are many bloatware you can remove.
Another way to disable apps is to use Titanium backups "freeze" or the "disable" with adb. Both prevents the app from running BUT leaves it intact and give you a possibility to restore all apps with a hard reset.
Here is a guide from Paul at Modaco:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8633061&postcount=1
Basically its use adb to run a PM command:
pm disable com.Apps.apps (change the file name to the apk you want to disable.
Note: titanium "freeze" do same thing
I've made backups with Titanium Backup and synced them with my dropbox account. But when i look at what he saved i can see the apk files. So i'm not really sure but it looks to me like he also saved the app itself and not only the data.
update:, hmmmm i just looked at the content of my backup dir in dropbox and it seems like he didnt send the system apps. So if you want to restore them you have to use the system dump. Or back them up yourself.

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to tweak this Stock rom because i don't wanna install mostly broken custom roms where i can't use apps i want (installed from market).
I was just wondering that which system apps can be uninstall from LG Optimus 2X for not being worried about any errors or so?
I have uninstalled now sns, wallpapers, most of widgets i don't need but can i remove remotecall app? Do i need it for makeing calls, sending sms or connecting to mobile network, wifi or Bluetooth?
Or is google quick search necessary for some apps?
and what about Smartshare, talk, voicesearch or voicerecorder?
Please answer to this if you have time and knowledge of these apps!
Thank you in advance!
Just out of curiosity, why dont you guys just install a clean Vanila ROM?
Wouldn't that be easier as it will not contain any of LG's software/modifications etc?
Not trying to be a smart alec here, just wondering that's all.
I got my 2X today and I want to install a clean Vanila ROM and have posted a thread asking for help as to how to go about doing it.
I'm currently using Launcher Pro which works a treat and the ROM itself seems very fast but I just hate the tweaks to the Messaging apps and also all the bloatware.
Or do you guys just find LG's software useful?
Cheers

Of course not. Android apps are self contained. And why do you need to move stuffs to /system? The cappy have a 1gb data partition, and most data are stored on the SD card, not on the NAND flash like with iPhones(this is not entirely accurate, but close enough)
Hey guys really need your help I can't seems to install the some apps on 5.1.1 like dubai racing. I used titanium backup to back up it and after flashing another rom I cant install back the app. Any throughs?

Take the apk from your titanium backup, and move it manually to /data/app. Create the folder for the app, put the app in the folder, and make sure the folder and app permissions are set correctly. Look at the permissions for the other folders and apps that are already in /data/app to know what the permissions need to be. Once you've done that, then reboot, and check to see if the app is in your app drawer.

Go into /data/app using root explorer or something similar, and you will see what I mean. The file structure for LP is different than KK.

It doesn't work anyway (Dubai Racing). I tried it, and it won't even show up in the app drawer unless it's installed to /system/app. Even then, the app opens and begins to load, and then it just stays stuck at a blank screen and never loads.
Re-reading your initial post, does titanium backup not see your backup of Dubai Racing only, or it cannot you not see any of your backups?
If that is the case, make sure you don't have a lot of /0 folders in /data/media. There should only be one /data/media/0 folder If there is more than one you have to fix that. Make sure titanium backup is pointing to the correct backup location in settings too.
Also try this in terminal emulator: restorecon -FR /data/media/0
