I need to know how to convert User apps to System apps. I know Titanium Backup can do it but I don't want to pay 7 bucks for the pro version.
Do I just move the APK from the /data/app to /system/app?
I am on a deodexed ROM so no odex files to move.
If I convert these user apps to system apps will it raise the OOM value? That's what I am after really.
GO Launcher gets killed way to easily. And while I am at it, I what to move GO SMS and Miren Browser if this will work.
If you have problems with Go Launcher quitting, then try the options called "System persistent" and "Prevent Force Close" in the app settings if you haven't tried that.
Yea I have that selected. The thing is, my phone doesn't have alot of memory. I have about 120 MB of ram with all apps closed and only about 40 MB free till android kills apps. So only really have about 80mb.

Friend see this app, can move to system, is good, see the oficial thread in samdroid
forum.samdroid.net/f10/apps2rom-root-move-your-updated-applications-system-rom-5690/
Once you move the apk to /system/app, remember to set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. I'm not sure if this will change the oom value or not, but I think it does. If it doesn't work, try V6 Supercharger & apply the bulletproof launcher. It may help with other memory issues as well. You can also "bulletproof" other apps, but I'm not quite sure how as I haven't played with those options.

maybe you have to generate the .odex files for those new system apps, you moved to system!
like this:
start your terminal emulator and type:
to change in the right directory
cd /system/app
use root rights with su and generate the data
su
dexopt-wrapper Vending.apk Vending.odex
or
dexopt-wrapper YouTube.apk YouTube.odex
and dont forget to set the read write permissions the right way
no reboot and wipe the dalvik cache!
For those not converted apps, how did you convert them?
.. maybe really try to move them not with /system/app mover, but by copy pasting them in a file explorer.

I'm trying to convert 'launcher2.apk' on my LG optimus 1 with offical cm7 into a system app, to replace adw launcher. Any ideas? :confused
In my experience not all apps works good as system apps. I have to try every time an update comes too.

Troubles in Making user apps as system apps

HI, and first of all, wanna give a head's up and mention that I'm relatively new to the Droid world...
I have installed MiniCM7Pro over a stock kernel, but my question is, how can I remove the DSP Manager that comes along the rom?
Btw, how can we replace, for instance, the contacts app with GO Contacts?
Thanks in advance!
You can remove dps with titanium backup,search for it on market its a free apk, and I think you can replace the contact apk without problems
Well, Titanium didn't uninstalled DSP Manager, thru that force uninstall option... so, still listening to more ideas...

try using flash tool. post number 8 is how you can uninstall system apps

hit thanks to the op and devs if it helped you
Thats strange cause everytime I update my minicm rom I delete dsp with tb. You can other way, with root explorer apk, go to system/app & just delete dsp, then reboot your phone and voila
Use Link2SD
Link2SD is an app with the basic purpose of moving apps from phone memory to an ext partition on SD card. But apart from that, the app can also manage applications, like uninstalling and freezing them.
I use Link2SD only to uninstall or freeze system apps. Its the free, clean and quick way of doing it...

dsp manager can be uninstalled with root explorer. Search in system/app for the app, and in data/data for the data folder corresponding to it (I don't remember it's name, but is like com-dspmanager-something ) and delete both files, then reboot.
About go contacts, phone.apk can be uninstalled in the same way, but is under your own risk. Anyways, keep a backup of your files
works perfectly with root explorer thanks!
For some strange reason, Root Explorer didnt work for me. I had to use Terminal Emulator
(Pre-installed or from the Play Store)
Code:
su (ENTER)
mount -o remount rw /system (ENTER)
rm system/app/DSPManager.apk (ENTER)
That method worked fine for me...
But sometimes, a simple reboot and then using root explorer also worked

thank to all for helping me,
remove them manually, use root explorer or similar, and go to system/app and delete de apk directly from there.
Is there a list of apps that can be disabled for this phone?
Don't we need root?
Not an iPhone.....
Just go through the list, its lets you do quite a few of them in app management

Can someone give me a list of what they froze, I think I got most of them but stuff like Music Hub, Music Player, Viewdini, VPN Client, Zappos I have no idea about
I have only removed the bloatware from one other phone (HTC incredible) and the process went like this:
1. Open root explore and go to system/app
2. Change from read/only to read/write
3. Select the apps from the system/app that I want to remove
4. Move those apps to a new folder that I named app.disabled in the system file.
Does this same process work the the Note 2?

Edit: nevermind, just used TB to freeze apps
Works well, especially as it requires only root and a good file manager [e.g. ES].. I had been dependent on tools like TB before your post. Thanks for the lesson.

did you change the permissions for apk
Please don't do that. Here is the reason - In the Android manifest.XML, there are many permissions which are required by the app. Some special permissions are granted only to system apps. Normal apps cannot have those permissions. So, when you move the system app to data/app you are trying to convert a system app to a normal app. Hence it will never work. However there are a few system apps which can be safely converted to normal apps like the pre loaded Facebook app etc.

Hmmm.....tell us which system apps you want to move to data/app????
there only a few system app that can be move without having problem while using it....the best choice to move it is to use System Cleanup....it can move system app to data/app, delete system app, freeze app or disable autorun in app....you can view which system app can be deleted...those can be deleted also can be move to data/app....
Hi,
I'd like to know how to safely delete system or ROM pre-installed applications that don't offer an "Uninstall" option. I am rooted and running 5.0.2 on a Nexus 6. I know I could do this with Titanium or other similar apps but my point is to not install a specific app just for deleting apps if I can find the correct path/file from Root Explorer and remove it myself.
Thanks

from my experience the best that you can do is to use root explorer and goto system/app or system/priv-app and delete folder-app you do not need, then goto data/dalvik-cache, search for apk name and delete also program *.dex, so this is a clean method, make a reboot for clearing apk data !
It's safer to rename the app instead of deleting it... "freezing" apps often just add ".fro" to the app's name (whatever.apk.fro, for example) to keep it from appearing in your app launcher or loading. If anything goes wrong because of the "missing" app, you can easily restore it.
