[Q] Can't uninstall app after installing with CWM - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed a MIUI Music app from my SD card using CWM, but after trying it out I'd like to remove it. When I go to remove it however, I don't get the option to uninstall. How can I remove it?

I've tried ES File Explorer and File Expert, both free alternatives to Root Explorer. I've given the apps root permissions but they aren't successfully deleting the file (as seen by errors shown in post 1).
I'm wondering if I have R/W permission, but I can't find anywhere to enable or disable that in either app I'm using.
[edit]
Using File Expert under Settings>Mount there is Mount as Read Write
This did the trick

glad you got it done

You've been very helpful the past few days, AzzleDazzle! Thank you!
I was on MIUI v3 last week and thought the ROM itself was OK, I switched to Darky 10.1 for now (maybe CM7 next)...but I really liked the MIUI Music app. I found a copy in the apps section on xda but it wasn't the same version as the one I was using on v3, was missing some features I liked (slide up/down now playing menu). I asked for someone from the MIUI Dev thread to get me a copy of the APK, but after pushing it to /system/app (see, I know how to do that now) and rebooting, it wasn't in my app menu, and when I select it in File Expert it says "Error parsing file package"

have you tried to extract the app and push the files to the right location ??
im not 100% on this i have been with CM - MIUI for ages now, so i forgot a lot about the samsung based ROMs,
anyway i have extracted the MIUI music app from my latest MIUI release, give it a try and see what happens with this version

System app backupper v1.2 [09/28/09] FILL BARE BONE ROMS!

New app: system app backupper, it allows you to backup system app and restore them when you want.
This app is created to make you able to restore system apps on a custom rom that cannot contain them.
Hope this could help cyanogen and the whole comunity.
ATM I don't know if it works for app2sd users. You can try. If not I'll update the app to be app2sd compatible.
Maybe it will cause Force Closes if you restore NON NEEDED system app to a different rom

wheres the app?
on the market?
*confirmed* app is on the market
Hope author doesnt mind me posting the apk
here it is:
the app is good but can use a select all button, manually selecting a bunch of the apk files is annoying
I can not find this app in the market. What's the app's name?
The apk will not install it say the app could not be installed using apk installer
If you're using app posted in this thread you have to' change extension to .apk
@stefan.buddle I'll include "select all" into the next version
phone crashed while did backup
@Spon4ik Can you provide me a log?
this might become an app included in barebone ROMs
it say The apk will not install it say the app could not be installed using apk installer
im on cm4.0.4 and yea i unzipped it i know how to install apk it jsut wont install
It is build for android 1.6 (donut)
I can't find the app on the market
Maybe you don't run donut. This app is compiled for android 1.6
Hmmm havne't seen too many success stories. I hope this is figured out, cause it will be ESSENTIAL with the bare bones ROM. Keep everyone posted with the success at getting this working.
Try yourself. Backup a system app, then delete it, then restore it. Tell us if it is working
So far was able to install and make a successful back up. Haven't tried a restore yet but will see in a minute.
Edit: Seemed to work for me. Backed up the email app then deleted it. Then I did a restore and seemed fine to me. One thing I would like to see is the ability to name and pick which backups we can restore instead of the last one we did. Other than that seems good to me.

[Download] Modified Gingerbred Keyboard

**NOTE**
_mod1 has the new .com additions, the first apk has only the smilies modified
The smilies popup and period popup on the gingerbred keyboard were really bothering me, so I decided to change them and upload it for everyone. The only thing I changed were the smilies, and the period popup nothing else. To access the smilies on the keyboard simply longpress the enter button.
When you longpress the period button on the keyboard, there will now be options for .com .net .edu .org .fr for easier typing urls to friends or in the browser. I found it really annoying that these were not custom configurable in the first place, but eh, lol. I also removed the comma button, which is totally redundant since it's on the left hand side of the spacebar. (go in keyboard settings>settings button> hide ; it doesn't hide it permanently, it just adds it as a popup above the comma button)
Uninstall your GB keyboard before installing this one. The file is signed, and should work if installed like any other sideloaded apk. I personally used Android Commander to install it.
Sorry for the blurry picture, but it's the best I can do since taking screenshots of keyboard popups is impossible XD

Really liked the idea of this, but couldn't get it working. Kept getting FC's. Used Root Explorer to move the .apk, fixed permissions, but still not working.
Did you replace the files or use root explorer to install the files? you're supposed to install the apk fresh instead of play with the xml files which is probably causing your force closes.

I deleted my old GB keyboard, then used Root Explorer to move the new keyboard to System/App fixed permissions, and rebooted. I will try again and see what happens.
Edit: I got it working now. Thanks button pushed!!! Nice work.
glad to hear you got it working =D just for next time, install it like any other sideloaded apk, they should be signed and ready to go
Will this work on my Samsung Galaxy Fit? I'm running GINGERBREAD.XWKQ2 / S5670XWKQ2
I downloaded a Gingerbread keyboard on the Market, I guess this one is the original one with some modifications than the one that I downloaded from the Market, I'm new to Android and I haven't root my Galaxy Fit. Can you guys help me out? sorry :/
this will work for any android device that can run sideloaded apps and the free gingerbred keyboard on the market; and yeah I did modify the Gingerbred keyboard from the android market as I couldn't find an apk of the ASOP keyboard. In settings go Applications > Applications from unknown sources > tap check box. If that option doesn't exist you'll need to root your phone or use ADB to install apps via root access.
Thank you so much for this! I love the MattedBlues keyboard.

Hey guys, so my camera has never worked for me with cm7 and the platypus kernel im running currently. It didn't bother me because i had my trusty ipod to take all my videos. But now, my ipod was robbed from me and i need to get this working on my phone. Plain and simple my camera app icon isn't even there. It just shows the app where it used to be and now it has an android logo. I want my camera/video recording back!! please help..

Do those other camera apps work? Use those, or reflash CM7 on top of current install
Sent from my ICS i897 Captivate
yes those other apps do work. but they have no video recording. If there was an app with video recording i would do that. Buuuuuuut i really did like the stock one. So re flashing cm7 will definitely fix this? Any other way?
Grab that apk from the ROM in/system/app and paste it in with a root file explorer on your phone. Then reboot.
found the apk through root explorer at where u said. Where do i past it now though?
Copy the .apk to your phone from your pc, then move it to /system/app with Root Explorer (don't forget to mount R/W).

Sorry...yeah, goes in the same place.
The folder structure in a ROM zip is where all of it goes when it flashes (except the updates folder, that contains the kernel and modem)
As stated above make sure you guy the little button on the top right of root explorer to mount r/w BEFORE you paste.
i am so sorry for being so ignorant. But how do i get the apk from my computer? i see the camera.apk with its icon in my system/apps/ folder.
sorry about that. Guess i brain farted. re download newest cm7 got the camera apk. put it from my comp to my phone. didnt have to reboot just had to install it. working perfect thanks guys!!
okay well i did this and it got fixed. Buuuuuut every time i reboot the phone the problem comes back and i have to reinstall the app every time. Any way to fix this or do i just have to reinstall the apk every time i wanna use my camera?

Just flash CM7 on top and it most likely will be fixed. It takes like 5 seconds. And you will need to put your kernel back on too. Another 5 seconds
Ahhh okay. I only reflashed cm7. Thanks

You have to install the radio.apk on your internal storage. To do this copy your file via root explorer into /system/app.
Then you choose the apk by tapping it for some seconds.

A new window appears and you have to choose permissions.
Now you put ticks in the first two spots in the first line, in the first spot of the second line and in the first spot of the third line. The other spots have to be empty. Should look like this:
Then you have to reboot. You don't have to install the app. Just reboot and the app will be installed after the next reboot

You can`t use stock radio radio on an Custom ROM/Kernel...
Try spirit FM

Even after all these years later....as long as you have a compatble fmradio.apk working chipset and root? This method STILL works.... up to android 10 anyways. Haven't tested 11
It just doesn't install otherwise....you bloody well need root to run this system app

Text-to-speech hanging

Every time I go to General->Language and input->Text-to-speech, the Settings app hangs. Using Note 5 SM-N920C with Extreme Debloated ROM, v 3.3 (Android 6.0.1). I've seen threads that suggest freezing the Samsung TTS engine, but have not found which specific app to freeze (and haven't found any obvious candidates).
Anyone else run into this?

Extreme Debloated rom caused that issue... You were loosed both Google TTS apk and Samsung TTS apk ( if you were on 7.0)on pri-app folder. Scrabble both apk from another rom then paste them into your system / pri-app / set permission for folder and the apk inside then reboot device. It may help you.

Thanks for your answer. I am on Android 6.0.1, so not sure if the directions will work. Also, can you explain "paste them into your system / pri-app / set permission for folder"
I had installed directly the Google and Samsung TTS apps, but still no joy.

Sorry my mistake, both apk folder were in system / app instead of pri-app. Copy & paste that meaning: you should use File Manager like Root Explore or X-plore to open the root / system / app folder / paste both apk with folder into app folder. See the screenshot attach below.
