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.
Example (uk.co.nickfines.RealCalc-1 app):

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

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!

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.

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.

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
Good day, friends.
First of all, sorry for my poor English, i`ll try to speak shortly.
I have Xperia T LT30p running on stock f/w 7.0.A.1.303, bootloader is factory locked, rooted with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) method.
I deleted some apps from SYSTEM/APP folder throug ROOT EXPLORER, not so much, i deleted Chrome, asian keyboards, power-saving mode and something else, APKs deleted successfully, they are no longer existing in SYSTEM/APP folder, but to my surprise the programs that i deleted are still in the system, they are still on phone, i see them in general menu, they are not deleted at all, and they are running and successfully workable! Maybe you can help me, how can i completely delete the apps that i don`t need ? Only the asian keyboards are deleted, i can`t choose it in text input.
Thank you.
Download titanium backup from the market and use that to delete system apps on a rooted phone

Using titanium backup is the normal way I do it...all I can imagine is that you are deleting the apk but if it is already installed it may have some other files linked elsewhere...
Also, make sure you have the system/app folder as R/W not R/O.

SYSTEM/APP is on r/w, of course.
This is strange, because APKs are deleted, 100%, and only the links can`t make the program works propertly, but they are working!
But anyway, i`ll try to do like you said.

If I remember correctly, there is another folder in system somewhere ( I think on x10 it was system/user/app/customization) where the system will install user apps from, if they have not been deleted from here too they will be reinstalled! Try this: pick one of they apps you could not get rid of and use root explorer to "search" for the apk name, that will show you the locations.
I am quite sure once you have deleted the one in customization it will not come back once uninstalled.
Edit: system/etc/customisation

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 have successfully rooted and expected to be able to enter apps and easily remove the annoying sprint apps..but I can't . Anyone advise on how to make this happen?

Use Titanium Backup to freeze apps you don't want. Use your phone for a day or two to make sure there are no I'll effects. Then use Titanium again to backup and remove the apps.

Try moving them into /system/app and then restart. If they don't appear in the app drawer then I guess try going into /system/app and installing the apk.
I tried both. Moved the apk and odex files into system/app and restarted. No luck.
I tried to install the apks and it goes through the install process but then says "application not installed"

Omg. Look what I've done. I apologize. D:
I guess the next step is to install KIES and plug your phone into the computer. I should surely tell you the software version. If you're still on MI9 then you have it made because an ODIN exists for that. If you're on MJ5 perhaps someone with more experience than I can chime in on how to flash stock.
How can I find out what version I have if I cant get into settings?

@Tenacious--M you need to change the permissions to rw-r--r--. I use root explorer to do this. At this point it may be futile but it's worth a shot.

Follow these instructions exactly. no one guided you in detail.
1) Open root explorer if those apks are already in your /system/app folder, press R/W at the top and it will become R/O.
2) Now go to those files you are trying to install. Long press on them and select permissions. Then check all 3 boxes of the first row (READ) and only the 1st box of the second row (WRITE) and no boxes of the third row (EXECUTE). This will make your permissions rw-r--r-- as mentioned by the previous poster.
3) Now press the R/O at the top so it becomes R/W and reboot your device.
That's it. Your system apks will auto install themselves upon reboot. You never are supposed to press install within the system folder, which is why it wasn't working for you in the first place.

Ok, got em to show at rw-r-r but they didnt install on reboot. I have them copied into the system folder and then to apps. I did notice that the System folder is rwxr-xr-x. Does this matter?
