Hi I have been wondering if I could replace stock apps on my Galaxy Ace with an other from the market......for instance remove the gallery and replace it with quickphoto app as system app, my phone is rooted and I have a stock rom and by that I mean not a custom for instance cw7 or others like that!? Any of you out there have any idea if that works?

Yep, I did it for a few apps.
Which ones.....I tried by changing the gallery with the quickpic one but later on when I try to open it I got a warning that I had to install it again....weird cause I had only convert it to system app with TB Pro....so I had to make it a user app again to be able to use it.....!

I'm running void forever, reason:streamlined. Now here's my question. I love Go contacts/dialer/go SMS pro/go keyboard but as you know void comes with stock dialer/contacts. I've unzipped void.zip to take a look at the system/app folder. I deleted what I needed to delete than rezipped the file and flashed but the data wasn't working. Is there an easier way to delete stock dialer/contacts w/o getting FC's

Titanium Backup? Try deleting with that.

Already tried, there are two things dialer and dialer storage same for contacts. Deleting these causes a continuous FC which causes me to reflash the rom

Been searching on how to get rid of stock apps. I have seen nothing on this yet. Anyone willing go help out as little?

Are you rooted? If not get rooted and flash a new rom like CM7/MIUI. If your already rooted you can flash a new rom or use an app like Titanium Backup to hide the apps.
Well i would actually like to remove them. And yes im rooted. On tsm res. right now and it has a few apps i would like to get rid of

Freeze them tibu
Then you can remove any app you want with Titanium Backup, or Terminal Emulator.
I use root uninstall free will let u remove any app on phone

That root unistaller was probably the best apl i have used. Wish they would automatically add that into builds

Root Explorer is another good one.
Hi i was wondering if there's a way to change the default app of a rom. For example, i use go launcher ex, boat browser, go sms pro ecc, is it possible to make those apps the dafault ones? Taking out the stock ones, and using those as stock?
When you choose one app, it ask if you want use it as default....
Thanks... I knew it! But everytime i reboot the nexus, i have to choose again all the preferences!
I meant, is It possible to substitue the default apps, with the ones i use?

I think what is being asked is,
can a ROM be unpacked, delete the apps you don't want and replace them with your own.
At least that's what I think is meant
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yes, That could be an answer! Or i don't know, is It possible via terminal, adb... Sadly i'm not a dev, and i don't know as much as i would!
Anyway... Yes! Is It possible to unpack a rom and replace the apps with the ones i want?

You can just open a rom zip and delete the apps the from /system/app/ directory.
Alternatively, you can download titanium backup from the market. This app allows you to backup or uninstall apps.
I'm running CyanogenMod 11, and I wanted to remove the stock camera, I found alot of links on google to do it through Terminal Emulator but It never works. also I want to replace it with the camera from the stock rom, and if I try to install that the app never installs properly. Any help would be appreciated.

You won't get a Sense camera to work on a non-sense ROM, just doesn't work, so you won't get the stock Rezound camera to work on CM.
If you like a different camera app, just install it, and if you REALLY want it in the system, use something like Ultimate Backup or Titanium Backup to make it a system file, and associate camera with it. You could also remove the stock camera app if you want, but why?
I don't like the redundancy, and it saves space on the the device. Its frozen for now but I'd rather exercise my android more than that.

Fair enough... You can remove a system app with either of the two programs I mentioned above as well.
