Hi,

I wanted to try Wavesecure, but didn't like the idea of installing UPA (uninstall protection), so I decided to try and install the app to system partition where it shall survive even a hard reset.
In recovery I sucesfully managed to push the apk file to /system/app via ADB but when I boot the phone up, I don't see Wavesecure in the apps list. What am I doing wrong?

And another question, I was tampering with CyanogenMod Desire port and pulled out Launcher2, because I foolishly thought it will work on the rooted stock ROM. Obviously it ended up in FC loop so I couldn't get to uninstall it properly.
What I did was firning up ADB again and deleting the com.android.launcher2 folder and the apk file (can't remember exact locations), but I still see Launcher2 under Manage applications menu. How do I get rid of that entry?

Thanks a lot,

I can see that this is an old post, but I've been searching for ways to remove apps through adb. Now I found a solution.
1. Get a custom recovery (ROM Manager)
2. Boot to ClockWork Recovery and go to partitions and mount /system
3.

adb remount
adb shell
cd /sytem/apps
ls
rm com.ws* (for WaveSecure)
rm Twitter.apk (for Twitter and so on.
exit

4. Unmount /system from Recovery and Reboot
