Can't remove Google Maps - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to install the Butt.all version of Google maps, but first I need to remove the old, stock version. Everywhere I found, I need to use Titanium Backup. I tried, but every time, when I start the uninstall process my phone just restart and the program remain there.
I have Blay0 ROM 0.8.4, S-ON.
Any suggestion?

Try installing Titanium Backup and use that to remove the apps. There's also an option to freeze the app, which allows you to monitor if there are any adverse impacts.

[UPDATE] [PACK] System Apps Update Pack for CyanogenMod 6 [SIGNED]

I've put together an update.zip with the latest versions of all the System Apps that come with CyanogenMod 6.
This solves multiple problems:
Allows you to update those apps that just don't want to (Street View, Superuser, etc)
Updates to system apps are stored on the "data" partition. This uses up your available space. By flashing this update, the updated files will be stored on your "system" partition -- where they belong, instead of your "data" partitions, where the files get placed when you update from the Market.
I'm not 100% sure, but I have a good feeling this is the final fix to problem #1. I believe this causes Android to update the signature associated with the app, "correcting" itself.
The updated apps
Amazon MP3
Chrome-to-Phone
Gmail
Google Maps
Google Search
Google Voice
ROM Manager
Street View
Superuser
TalkBack
Twitter
Voice Search
You can go ahead and download the file here: http://www.unforgivendevelopment.com/2010/09/25/cyanogenmod-6-system-apps-update-pack-09252010/
If you encounter any issues, or have any comments or anything, let me know.
Enjoy!

Just looked, and there are two update options, one of which is signed. Is that the one you tried applying?

I flasheed with clockwork and had no problems.
so if I have understand this correct, every time a update is available we should not update through market instead wait for you to update the pack and then flash through recovery? because when I checked market now, I don't see Maps or Voice Search installed even if they are installed and latest versions, if I update they will get into the data directory right?
Thanks. Flashed clockwork now works. Newer updates from market still fail.

I have a 2-fold question for you guys:
I have apps on the /data/app partition such as Vlingo, SetCPU, Calibration Settings, MusicMod, Twitter, etc. Many of these are root apps and some are widgets that I use. The phone shows 152.61mb used and 43.64mb free in this partition, fyi.
I also have a most of my apps on the /system/app such as Camera, Browser, Email, Gallery etc. All of these are the core system apps. The phone shows 110.55mb used and 34.45mb free.
(1) If I move all of the apps from /data/app to /system/app can I?
Looks obvious that I wouldn't have enough space on the /system/app partition!
(2) If I move just a couple of widgets from /data/app to /system/app to free up space, would the widgets still boot up normally when the phone reboots or would they have to be re-installed?
Works as advertised. thanks

Thanks for the quick response Rori!
So I can move what I want to move to the /system/app and they will boot right along with the phone, however, the Market will no longer "see" them as installed on my phone, correct?
I understand that Clockwork is set to ignore signature checks. So, this zip should flash through Clockwork no matter what, but will only flash through Amon_RA's recovery with a proper signature.
edit: I get it.
Would also appreciate a fix for AR. Thanks.

There is an updated gapps over at cyanogenmod (Nexus One, Stable forum, downloads section) that is the full gapps bundle. Not sure about the signature situation, but if it's like the previous files, then it should be fine.

[Q] Problem with Market on Eminence ROM

I installed eminence last night, and everything was working fine. The market wasn't updating to the latest version, so I manually installed the latest version from the backup I had done before I installed eminence.
The latest market was then working fine, until I tried to install X10iUser's black market, which then completely removed the market, so I re-installed the market and now it keeps forcing close.
Is there an easy fix, or do I have to re-install eminence and start again from scratch?
Thanks in advance

You should post this in the original forum for that particular ROM. Hopefully, you will get an answer!

[Q] How to uninstall system apps

as we know, x10 2.1 have a powerful tool: Flash tool. It can remove completely system apps. So I have a question here: can we have a tool or a command to remove completely system apps? So that we can install some software like google maps mod ownwhere easily,and remove the apps that we do not use.
Thank you all!
firstly, this is not development.....
secondly, that app has existed since android has existed. It's called root explorer

noob!
Root ex just delete the app, not remove or unistall it completely. You can try with google maps. you use root ex delete the app, then install the google map ownwhere mod, it will say "application not install".
in 2.1 stock room, the Flash tool work very well about this solution. but 2.3.3 not.

if you are installing another mod you have to copy it to system app folder and fix the permissions.....
Obviously since you are posting in the totally wrong section, and have no clue how to use root explorer, I would say you're the noob

Root your phone and install the Google gallery again.
Or look for the stock gallery on this forum.
If you don't want to root your phone backup what you can,and do a factory reset.

GoogleGallery.apkm is a system app..system apps are not meant to be installed..they are not signed so cannot be installed in the normal way..to use a system app you will need root...after you are rooted move the apk to /system/app forder and give rw-r--r-- permission and reboot..
