Hi, Daneshm90, nice to see you here. I guess he has root, since both apps require root to run.
It's strange, because I use rootexplorer and I am able to delete the unwanted apps. however, I noted that if you boot into recovery, there are some messages saying installing default apk files (?) before the recovery screen came up.
Not sure if the recovery is restoring these apps.

Hmm my bad, didnt read his OP correctly. So he says he has rooted.
Perhaps he didn't press the r/w button in root explorer.
Op, check ur pm, ive sent u my app "Systemapp Remover", try it see if it works. If it does then buy it ;P

thank all, i got root explorer but when i try to use the "r/w" it does not react... continue to be "r/o"... seem strange...
does anyone know a version of titanium which can function and uninstall them accordingly ? thanks
Is there any way to re-load the default Samsung Captivate calendar app without starting from scratch? I deleted it thinking that I wouldn't really need it (stupid)and now I realize most calendar apps look for it. If not, is there an independent calendar app that could replace it?
Thanks a lot.

Are you on stock or a custom rom? If it's the latter I would just download the zip again, extract the calender apk and place it in the correct folder (using root explorer or whatever) and apply permissions again, and reboot.
Sent from my Captivate
Every time I try to install the apk it tells me that it could not be installed. I tried downloading it from a few different sources and I get the same result every time. I put it into the system folder and try to instal it from there. I've gotten rid of all the other calendar files. No clue why I can't install the new one. I'm rooted and have permissions to side-load apps. any advice?

Because you don't need to install it. Put the apk in the system folder, make sure it has the correct file permissions and then reboot. Done!
Okay. Well, it's now in the System folder as far as I can tell. I rebooted andthe Calendar is still not installed. What I'm not sure about is the permissions. What are the "correct permissions"? as in, what should they be set to and how would I chane them if I needed to?
Anyone? This has been driving me crazy for like two weeks now.
Still no dice...
Okay, I'm taking a crack at bumping this again. Honestly, I have no idea why this isn't working. I see the apk and odex files listed under my /system folder.
When I check Titanium Backup I see the following files:
com.android.calendar
com.android.providers.calendar
They're both crossed out.
Why won't they install? What am I doing wrong?

I think these apps should be under "/system/app" and not "/system" folder.
Yeah, I also have them under /system/app but still no luck. This is really driving me nuts. They're there. For all intents and purposes the phone SHOULD recognize them and install them... but it doesn't. Weird. I honestly don't know what I should do except forget it.
Hi

It didnt help
so i would be helpful if someone could make a flashable email.apk from cm7 and post it here
your help much appreciated
thanks
Have you try reflashing the same ROM on top of your current? That usually will put all the system installed apps back.

Did you go into Setting > Applications > and check mark on "Unknown Sources"? If not, it will not let you install the apk file.

Can some make a zip file from email.apk which can be found in the cyanogen 7 rom zipfile?
Hi, I downloaded the Cosmic Flow live wallpaper and put the apk file onto my SD card. But when i open the file in astro, there is no install option. I tried downloading wallpaper from several different sites but none of them work. Any ideas? This method has worked for me previously.
Maybe your "PackageInstaller.apk" is missing/corrupted. It's the app which installs non-market apps.
It's explained here -->
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones
make sure you have enable non-market apps>click the apk which you want to download>click "open app manager">click "install"
if you cannot install an app like this then i dont know watch goin on....

Yes ,so finally you found the root cause of your problem - missing file
I strongly suggest you flash a new ROM.
Else , download your ROM once again.
Copy the Package installer app from the downloaded ROM file and place it into /system/app
guys why when i put an app in system/app it doesn't install it automatically?
even after the reboot, i have to install it manually...

I'm trying to fix the "daemon started successfully" problem, but I don't think I'm uninstalling and re-installing the driver correctly, I just uninstall the device from device manager, then plug the phone back in and let it install.
That must be wrong because it's not working. The program I'm trying to use is xUltiamte2.4 to deodex my phone.

Why is that a problem? You want the "daemon" to start successfully, ADB won't work if it doesn't... If it stays stuck on that, maybe you have some program interfering/using ADB. Maybe you have some other ADB program open (flashtool) or maybe you use Bluestacks; check your running processes for a running "adb.exe" process and kill it, then try again.
Removing the drivers should should work as you're doing it already, but before connecting your phone, you should reinstall the drivers first. Or, once it's installed, manually update the drivers through the Windows "Device Manager", by locating the "sa0105adb.inf" file manually.
It can be extracted from the drivers installer (the one that comes with Flashtool) with 7zip, or you might find it still in your temp folder.

Nothing works, isn't there a better way of deodexing then using this stupid program?
Edit: I have a better question. The only reason I want to deodex is so that I can debloat using this guide, that thread already gives me the list of bloatware, isn't there a way I can just go in and manually delete the bloat? Without have to worry about deodexing in order to get the debloat script to run?

Actually you can also debloat your rom while its odexed. At least as long as the framework is not changed.
Just do a backup, then get a root file manager and delete the safe to remove apps and their odex files. Reboot afterwards.
The only reason why the debloat script doesn't support odexed roms ia that the odex files are not deleted during the script. (However, it would be easily possible to add these lines)

Well, if you were following that guide you would have seen that practically everything it's deleting is in /system/app:
delete("/system/app/FBCalendarSync.apk"

The odex files are in the same folder, and have the same name aside from the .odex extension.
Then again, that program sometimes has issues; you could always copy the files from /system/app and /system/framework manually without using ADB to the corresponding folders, after starting the program open the Windows Task Manager and kill of the "adb.exe", and the program will continue running and let you deodex the files. Then you'd just have to figure out how to copy them back which is not hard.
Or you could also try a different deodexing program such as Universal Deodexer V4. I've never used any of those since I've deodexed my ROM with dsixda's Rom Kitchen, for which you'd just need to follow the instructions and then copy the resulting files manually (as you'd have to do in the above mentioned example anyway).

I don't mean I want to manually deodex, I mean I want to manually debloat, deleting the appropriate APK and ODEX file from /system/app seems easy enough, but what would I delete (if anything) from the /system/framework folder?

I know, I'm just giving you a solution since that program you're using has always given me issues, and even now, knowing that ADB works, it still get's stuck on that "starting ADB daemon" message.
I'm not trying to be rude, but if you're following the guide you'd have noticed that nothing gets deleted from the framework folder. All it tells you are which apps are safe to remove; whichever apps you do end up removing are up to you. I think the Google Talk app is garbage, but someone else might use it, so debloating is also subjective.
Also, you could just as easily do this with Titanium Backup and actually just freeze the app first in case you're not sure about deleting it.

I know, manually deodexing that way would cause a bootloop because of missing classes.dex files in every system app.
Some people that dont like the preinstalled Sony apps prefer getting rid of all the bloat and remove SemcGenericUXPRes.apk from framework folder.. And some (or most) of the framework jar files beginning with "com.sony..."
This will of course bring noticeable smoothness increases, but is very likely to cause bugs when not done by experienced users.
And it could cause a bootloop on odexed builds as the odex files in system/app do no longer fit to the framework.
Just for information.

TiBu's freeze doesnt help against some apps. They keep running in background but are no longer shown in Settings or Greenify.
Nope, but you might check any flashable "Xperia Media App port" zip. The more complete, the better.
The files that are included in framework folder are usually safe to remove. :good:

OmniSwitch.
Add it to Greenify first, then freeze it and reboot. Check Greenify main activity and you'll see.
Was getting on my nerves for two months, till I finally decided to uninstall it.

Well, don't know why you would add it to Greenify first, makes no sense, but nonetheless, you're right. But then again, this might be due to the way OmniSwitch is integrated into OmniRom in order to use it for the Recent Apps switch. I don't remember this happening on Carbon, which also has OmniSwitch without that integration. I'm on Omni right now so I can't verify this.
In Titanium Backup some apps are red, any idea why?

Most of the framework stuff cannot be disabled, it has to be uninstalled because Dalvik cache would have to be rebuilt when its gone.
I suggest trying doenen's heavily debloated 4.3 rom. Or at least having a look at its apps and framework to see what he has removed. :good:

Titanium Backup has a help section which explains the colors. A red colored app means it's a System Service. I'm sure you can open the help section and check out what the other colors mean.
And as @WhiteNeo said, having a look at some other debloated ROM will help you decide what you can remove or not; don't disable or uninstall something just for the sake of disabling it. Find out what it's for and then decide if you need it, or if your Rom needs it in order to function properly.
If it's of any help you can use this as a reference. I made that back when I used to use Stock ROMs .

Just confirming that @WhiteNeo is right. Even on Carbon Omniswitch's process is still active even though it's frozen/disabled. It doesn't consume RAM as far as I can tell, but this is odd behavior.
