Replacing Apps that come with a Replicant Image
Added by Matt Ivie over 11 years ago
There are apps that exist in F-droid that I cannot upgrade to because the version that comes with replicant is signed with a different key. How can I upgrade those programs without flashing to a newer Replicant image?

You have to remove the apk file from /system/app/
for instance:
adb remount adb shell rm /system/app/Apollo.apk
If you wish to install a new Apollo version. Then reboot and install the new version from F-Droid.

Thank you Paul that worked like a charm.

I've now upgraded to 4.2-0001 and it won't all me to do adb remount. It says that the operation is not permitted.

Have you done "adb root" first?
