I am having issue with Google Talk (Authentication Failure) that seems to cause issues with the Marketplace, so I was going to try to uninstall Talk and install again.
When I go to Manage Applications, I can force stop Talk, but all other buttons are greyed out (Uninstall, Clear Cache, etc).
I looking to either remove and install Google Talk or try to clear the cache in Talk.
Any help would be great. I am very new to all this, so please talk slowly. Thanks!
You should look into an app called Titanium Backup. This program should allow you to uninstall the program regardless of options in the settings menu.
If Titanium Backup does not work, try the method suggested here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones
I recommend that you use the ADB method. If that does not work, or you generally use a Terminal Emulator app, some helpful hints are to be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13449771&postcount=58
To get rid of Talk, all you need to do would be:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm -f /system/app/Talk.apk
adb uninstall com.google.android.talk
I was able to use Titanium to back it up, uninstall, and restore. It didn't solve my error, but atleast I was able to try it. Thanks.
I am concerned that my issue with intially getting my login to work (had to use the youtube workaround to get into Marketplace) hasn't carried over to Google Talk. I have no idea what Talk is using to attempt to authenticate, but I suspect it's not a valid logn or something.
Thanks again,

So I just flashed Axura 2.2.5.9 and have kernel version 2.6.32.9 and well I wanted to use visual voicemail from Tmobile, but it won't let me install the newest version. So I tried to uninstall the older version that came with the rom and it won't let me.
The uninstall button is grayed out.
When I try to download the newer version from the market it says, "duplicate provider authority."
Thanks

easiest way is through Root Explorer, simply delete the .apk file from /system/app
or, if you have ADB on your PC, access your device through adb, and type the following commands:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
rm nameof.apk
reboot
hope this helps
Well, using the app "Super manager" as my root explorer didn't work, so I ended up purchasing "SystemApp Remover" from the market and it worked well. As for the other method you described above was above my tech level and knowledge so I figured I'd find an easier method with keeping that as a last case scenario.
I got rid of Voicemail notifier, google voice and visual voicemail. Worked like a charm.

yes thats a good app....but the above methods undoubtedly work. did you even try them? if they didnt work, which method did you try, and what part of it didnt work? they are two of the original ways of removing system apps, theyve been around almost as long as root access for Android was discovered....good things to know and learn
if someone is trying to help you, dont just say the methods dont work.......either admit that you didnt even try, or post what went wrong, cause it couldve been something you did...because if another person who has this same problem sees this thread, they will automatically think these things dont work and will lose solutions to their problem.
^^^this goes for any situation, not just this one
Okay my apologies,
I went to the market and tried to find a root explorer but couldn't find a free one so I downloaded "Super Manager" app
I went into system file and long pressed on the file and tapped delete, the file just sat there. I did it again and it wouldn't delete. I restated my phone and it still didn't work.
So it wasn't necessarily the above method that didn't work it was the app that didn't work. I'll correct the post above as well.
I had a problem with system app remover before as I think it didnt just delete the apk but core processes linked to the apk I had a unbelievable flurry of fc maybe that was just my experience but root explorer is indisputably the easiest way to delete apk's cause you don't need anything other than the phone to do so
Yeah, ditto that @wills, I would advise to just freeze the process in titanium and go from there. I wouldn't remove it.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
I deleted about 10 apps from system/app using root explorer. Not sure why a lot of the bloat was left in/inluded in the latest axura... I wish apps that can be grabbed for free from the market could be left out. ESPECIALLY the bloat from samsung.
I mean, why include samsung widgets when you removed touchwiz?
When using Honeycomb v04 sometimes the market will cease to work after a restart. This is due to a Google authentication issue. The normal fix to this would be to reformat the data partition. However; this will sometimes also erase root. The fix is to perform the following commands in a terminal emulator of your choice. Root is required.
Update2:I have added two lines of code to clear the dalvik-cache. This seems to help produce more positive results. I also have noticed that the script or (these commands) work, its just that for some reason the script has to sometimes be applied twice in a row for it to completely work. It might take a up to a minute for an app to install (rare cases).
Updated Script: http://www.multiupload.com/PSGAMTFBD0
Update: After messing around I have discovered that deleting the accounts database does not always work. Furthermore, it requires one to log back into the Google servers each and every single time.
A better way to go about fixing the market is deleting some data in the data partition. To fix the market do the following:
su
rm -r /data/data/com.android.email/
rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/
rm -r /data/data/com.android.vending/
rm -r /data/data/com.google.android.gm
rm -r /data/data/com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts/
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm -r *
reboot
I have made a script that automates this process. It is my suggestion that instead of restarting the device with the power button, run this script. That way the market fixes itself each reboot.
The script has to be run in a terminal emulator or over ssh (what I use). I do not know if it will work over ADB.

The method below is old and might not work. Let me know the results you guys have so I can come up with a possible fix that lasts longer than these.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.
+
su
rm /data/system/accounts.db
rm /data/system/accounts.db-journal
reboot
After typing these commands your system will reboot and your will have to login to your Google account on your device. This will not affect any apps or data on your system. It simply resets your Google credentials without requiring a factory reset.
If you have any questions let me know.
Dude. Awesome...this worked. I am on froyo, as well. Finally installed Angry Birds from the market!

I'm having the same problem. It seems to be in conjunction with the error "Google Talk Authentication Failed".
I used your method and it worked the first time, but the market issue started again. When I tried this method a second time, it didn't work.
The other coincidence is that I was buying apps in both cases. The first time, the app was purchased. Now the second app (Beautiful Widgets), is stuck in "Authenticating".
Any ideas?
Yeah there is issues with the market. I am not sure why authentication fails. This fix only seems to work temporarily. Like I tried it 5 times and it worked but the market still breaks down even without a restart. I say try this method again, then reformat the cache partition. Remember, you have to reboot your system for this to take effect. The old method might work for you, it worked for me for a little while, but then I found this method which seems to work better. I dont think it has anything to do with you purchasing apps. Its more of a timing issue. Also what you might want to try is apply this fix, but then instead of using the market, use the web portal market.android.com and choose to install it on your nook. This might also help. Let me know how it goes.

Glad to hear it worked for you.
The web market fails with this message:
There are no android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account.
I do not wish to make another account and fail to see how that changes anything. When I made the account there was no question that referred to a phone model.
HELP!
market does not download
I tried the fixes so far .. maybe just keep trying?
market downloads somethings sometimes, but never Angry Birds ...
thanks
Robyn
Does angry birds even show on teh device? If not then the reason the market does not download angry birds is that it is due to the market not recognizing the device and therefore hiding certain apps from the device. This was most prevalent in the switch from 2.1 to 2.2. The fix was to replace the fingerprint in the build.prop file. If you really want angry birds that bad, I suggest you just download it from 4shared.com. It is less trouble than trying the fix the market seeing apps. BTW what version of android are you running? 2.2 or 3.0?
When you use the web portal the correct name for the device should be zoomlogic pd or something along those lines. Don't know why the web portal is not working.
The way I fixed it was the same way I used to fix a similar but different prob with droid 2. Simply create a 2nd gmail act add that to your gmail app and sync it. Voila! your first act is now recognized
Worked PERFECTLY A+ Man!
what command do i use to run the script?
when google talk authentication fail , maybe u can try this way.
uninstall one of apps u ever downloaded from market before, then immediately reinstall that app again and also install the apps u want to install.
it worked for me.

I was pleasantly surprised that uninstalling one app I had previously downloaded then immediately reinstalling it from the Market did actually enable me to start downloading and installing some other apps. I got 2-3 installed that had been failing moments earlier. But now it seems to have stopped again and uninstalling an app and retrying to install it is no longer working.
I'm back to the same thing I was getting earlier, which is that trying to download and install any app would result in the the little blurb saying "your item will be downloaded" but the download bar comes up only for a few seconds and then closes. It never completes the install and leaves the name of the app sitting in the list of 'My Apps' waiting to be selected and installed.
Anyone come up with a permanent fix for downloading from the Market?

There is simply no play store. I've had my rooted Lg P500 for a while now and it was running CM9 fine, except allot of apps crashed and it was rather slow as well as no camera, so i returned it to my backup of Gingerbread (Stock). Everything was going well, and then i got bored of GB, so i re-flashed CM9 With GApps. I noticed that their was no play store however, even after re-flashing GApps which didn't really bother me at the time.
After doing this, i found that CM10 had been released, which allot of people said was allot more stable and the camera actually worked (even though its a bad camera, i still use apps which use the camera as a background, and it gets rather annoying with just black). I loved it for a while and then i realised that there was no play store (and possibly other android apps which i don't really care about), however there was Gmail. I Flashed GApps (the correct one) and then i tried re flashing it. I did this about 20 times, just constantly re flashing everything and occasionally trying to restore back to GB (Which does have the play store) and then re-flashing CM10, BUT NOTHING WORKS :S!!!!
I then learned that this was a common problem amongst many people, but i cant seem to find an answer. I've tried setting up adb to push a playstore.apk file through, but for some reason, my computer decided it wouldn't recognize my device unless in mass storage mode, so when i do the adb thing i get this message;
"No device found"
I've also tried flashing ICS GApps, and that didn't work. I've tried everything and i cant find anything :'( .
I've also connected to wi-fi and my google account and left it for a while to check if it would update, but it still wont work :/
This is the thread where i got my ROM from and GApps download. (P.S if you read the downloads, i've tried using the mine GApps thing but that didnt work :/ )

He is right. But, to ensure that the Play Store app is on your phone, search for it. Secondly, depending on the Rom, you might have to use TB or a related app to uninstall the apk store, since you won't be able to reinstall it if it IS in your Rom as a system app

Are you sure you're rooted? You should be seeing # if you're rooted, not $. You should also be seeing superuser or superSU pop up requesting permissions on your phone.
Open terminal emulator on your phone (assuming you have it, since you said you're running cm9) you should see $ here. Type su and hit enter - make sure superuser/superSU pops up and you grant permission. If you don't see superuser/superSU or get permission denied, you probably aren't rooted.

Hello all,
I found a nice little guide, which works on most of the android phones - if you want to remove system apps, but do not want to root.
All credits to dosangst on Reddit!
Working ADB connection is required.
And as always, be careful what you remove! Removing critical apps will result in bootloop and you have to reflash firmware/ROM.
1. connect device, make sure ADB is working (check with CMD "adb devices")
2. go to shell, using CMD "adb shell"
3. get list of install packages using CMD "pm list packages" (use google to find out what does each package name means).
4. remove package using CMD "pm uninstall -k --user 0 $packagname" (e.g. pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.inputdevices)
5. if correctly typed, you receive message "SUCCESS"
Optionally a reboot might be required.
Thanks.
@davebugyi
thanks for this thread. working great.
Thanks bro
In fact , we can use some data erase software , of course ,we need to install it form its website, it isn't free
Thanks thanks thanks!!! Yeah
Thank's, working good on P9 too.
Could anyone please enlighten me (and all others who might wounder) which of the system apps that can be removed "safely"?
I went form a OnePlus X and got the P10 mainly cause I got it for 359$ / 313€ without contract but I really don´t like bloat apps. HiCare might be OK to have but Notes, Music, Videos, E-mail, Health, Gallery and possibly some more apps are just a waste of space since I prefer other apps for that. I guess I just could make a folder and put all Huawei bloat inside of it and just feel a little sick each time I scroll by it so it would be nice to remove as much of it as possible.
I would happily donate a beer to the person who comes up with a list of "safe" apps to remove.

Is it safe to remove "Huawei Mobile Services"? Also, it is so weird that my P10 has facebook and facebook messenger as system app...

How is this possible?
Android mount /system as readonly when device boots. Due to that (seems) not possible to uninstall apps from /system. I think you are uninstalling apps that are installed on /data/app but not /system apps.
Apps installed on /data/app can be unistalled accessing to android settings -> apps -> [select a app] -> uninstall

I do not know the technical background, but probably it evokes some special user priviliges hidden in the system.
To be honest I never checked where are those apps located.
For example try to uninstall GBoard (vtr-l29, B151)- not possible, not even the disable function. With this method it could be removed.
The apps are only removed for the current user. Detailed info is here: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
I was practising this method months ago and I just found out that after I rooted my phone apparently the apps are still inside data folder. Or maybe something happened in between that I wasn't aware of.
Tried to remove com.android.calendar but no luck
OMG, thanks dude! :*
Thanks
Works great on Huawei Y5 201 7 also
any way to revert changes without a fact reset?
People if you don't like the original Huawei apps you probably don't like the default launcher. Why not just use for example nova launcher and hide all the apps that you don't use from launcher. Also you can change settings in advanced apps settings to use apps you prefer as default. Like gmail as main mail app, Google photos for gallery and so on.
64GB is enough to keep all those apps there.
Suddenly, a lot of my apps no longer could get a location lock.
Google maps, messenger, Instagram, the built in camera app, etc
However, other apps )and newly downloaded apps) work (including GPS tester, yell, etc)
To fix most of those apps, I either uninstalled/reinstalled and that worked. For ones that couldn't , like maps, I uninstalled the "updates" through play store and then re-instslled them and that worked.
The only one I can't fix is the built in camera app. I tried disabling, re-enabling, clearing data/cache, nothing worked
Is there a way to force remove the app and reinstall it? Hopefully someone can help. Thanks!
Resolved!
Was able to enable USB Debugging, and then go into the adb shell (through MAC OS X, USB connection)
uninstalled the nokia camera all that way and then was able to re-install the camera and now it works with location!
FYI, Here were the commands ran:
./adb shell
pm list packages | grep cam
CTL_sprout:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.hmdglobal.camera2
