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!

What about his post is unclear? he uninstalled the program using titanium backup pro. (you need to root first)
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.

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.

Yes find it very useful, better UI than Titanium.

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
Would backing up this folder enough to restore apps after wiping and flashing a new rom? I know this can be done via Titanium back up app, but all 3rd party apk apps are installed in this folder.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
no parts of apps are installed elsewhere too such as custom folders or dbdata..
and some apps are installed to sd.
use titanium backup, mybackup pro, or appmgr to back up apps

Are there any reasons why we can't just back up a folder and then restore it which is a much easier step than working with Titanium etc...But I've the feeling that it's not that obvious and ta echnical whizzkid who would like to enlighten us about this would be greatly appreciated...
You can save your APKs in a folder you can copy them back but you have not installed them .

Some apk apps install just by tapping on them or is there a technical reason this should be avoided

Here is a DIY method to back up your apps manually. This should put this topic to rest. RIP!

Can you post the update 3.1.6 ?
thanks

Works on Tiamat 2.2.1 but you will need to delete the old market .apk
I have both markets old and new...just didnt get rid of older one..

I just installed it without removing the other apk and I can confirm on Tiamat 2.2.1 XOOM that both markets can co-exist with 1 little glitch.
You can't seem to have 2 apps named the exact same thing in your APPS catalogue. I found that if I want to open the new market, I have to open AppBrain Market and select the new market and hit "OPEN"
Any ways around it? worst case, I'll delete the previous APK...
btw this market looks just like the new market on my Nexus One...
That link is for 3.1.5.
3.1.6
Chek it, Thanx Solarnz

I cant install this Market
how do you delete the old apk then?

titanium backup
How do you install it? I can't seem to install the apk solarnz provided.
I tried to copy to system/app/ using root explorer but there is no existing Phonesky.apk.
Titanium Backup indicates that the market is Finsky.apk but renaming and replacing it doesn't do anything.
Luckily I backed up the original market using Titanium Backup.

did you actually try that? Because the xoom reboots, shows the ! with Andy next to it making me force a reboot, and then boots up fine after that with the original market intact.
Thanks for the link, works great thanks.

Dear All
I used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze both FM Radio app( the stock app) and the installed Accue weather app to stop them from keep them running in the background and eating memory , and I thought that when I need to run them I just hit the app to run, (this is what I thought and do not know if this is correct or no!!)
So I found that both apps are disappeared from my note, so I went to Titanium to defrost them. but after a success defrost I did not find them, so I made a restart and did find them, so I tried to make a restore but I did not find the FM Radio in the apps list since I did not made a backup for it, so how I can get it back
and also I made a restore for accue weather app but I did not find it after the restore
What is wrong

U on stock rom ? If you want i can put up the TiB files for you and you can put them in your sd card and restore using TiB. Also remember to push the app as a system app otherwise they wont work.
Cheers! Enjoy your Note.
Hit thanks if it helped!
It may be due to incompatibility of TB versions. If that is the case, do a power defrost of ALL frozen apps -> Go to batch, power defrost, reboot your device. After that you can manually freeze your unwanted apps one by one.

Idid the power defrost, and I found them back, thanks
Now , was what I did right but the results were wrong because of incompatibility of TB versions, how usually the freeze feature works?
Nothing wrong on your part. It is TB's issue between updates and that is how to tackle the problem. From now on you can normally freeze/defrost your apps.

thanks for your replay, I mean is it normal that when you freeze an app it will be disappears from the apps drawer? i tried now another app for a test and found that after freeze it disappeared, so how I can stop any app from working in the background but I can run it when I want only?
Yes, it is normal. As far as I know you can't stop any app from working in the background, unless you can find that option within the app itself.

so freeze is like delete the app without uninstall it, and when you want it back you just defrost it

Exactly. It will stop the app running in the background or even foreground. Always remember to check what you are freezing. If you freeze any system app which is required by system or some other app then the system or that app will start giving you force closes.
I'm unable to install the app Titanium Backup app either from Google Play or from other websites. The problem is only with this app, all other apps are getting downloaded. I had installed the Titanium Backup previously but unistalled accidently. I'm using ICS on a rooted Galaxy S GTI9000.
Please Help!!!!!
