I backed up and deleted Blockbuster with Titanium. But, since I hadn't purchases Titanium yet, it didn't back up the apk (it just backed up the data). I then decided to reinstall Blockbuster so that I could get a proper backup. I moved the apk (which people have posted) and installed it. Then I moved the apk to system/app. The program then wouldn't start, so I updated it in the market (this was happening to people with stock X's too). Everything works and seems fine, except now Titanium doesn't list Blockbuster as a system app. If anyone who's not deleted can check, does Titanium list it as a system? Also, does anyone know if I've done something wrong?

Humungus,
From reading your post it sounds like you installed blockbuster straight from the sd card, then cp'd it to /system/app/
Can you uninstall it from Android's settings > applications > manage applications ? If so, you're phone isn't running it as a system app. Uninstall from there, then reboot your phone. (turn it off then on)
When it reboots it should pick up the /system/app version of blockbuster and install it automatically as a system app while it boots.

I had this issue.
Copy the apk to your SD card. Then do the following in ADB:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mddblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/Blockbuster.apk /system/app/Blockbuster.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit
Enter those commands. (I assuming you know how to use ADB).
Verify in TB and you should see it with the red text.

Yeah, that's what I did. I uninstalled it from "manage applications" and rebooted. Nothing. It didn't install it. Anyway, thanks for the advice; I hadn't thought of that.
I ended up just reinstalling from system/app, updating, backing up, and then uninstalling.

No dice. What does this do? It looks like it's just making /system read-write and copying Blockbuster.apk to system/app (then making /system read only again). Is this right? Because this is exactly what I've done with root manager to no avail.
hereI've used "system app backupper" to backup and restore stuff to system/app and it work well. Since I don’t have a paid version of titanium. I even used it to put back stuff that I removed without backing them up first by copying the app into the system/app folder backing it up then deleting it there then restoring it with the app and it installs it without running the installer.
