BBC iplayer complete removal? still shows in my apps - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys,
i removed the iplayer, tried with root uninstaller, titanium and via the market but after doing so (restarted as well twice), when i go back into my apps, if i go at the very bottom, i see "Not Installed" and it's still there... how to i remove that??
thanks
gabrio

have you tried uninstalling it via settings-applications?

yeah just now and after you do it, it's still in the "not installe" at the bottom of my apps fron the market... really weird...
gab

you have root access so if its still showing up you could find the iplayer apk file in system/app or data/app and delete it.

Its a mistery: I just did a search with root explorer and deleted every instance with word bbc I had and apks saved including some root uninstaller backups I had. Deleted everything, restarted twice but its still there under not installed apps in my apps...maybe it will update in a bit??
I can live with that but its as if its hardwired somewhere else...any other ideas guys???
Tnx
Gabrio

[Q] Removing Bloatware w/ Titanium

So I got got root, after having a long and hard decision, because I soft-bricked my phone yesterday.
Anyway, I got titanium because no other apps were free on Market like Root Manager or Root Explorer.
When I go to Backup/Restore I get a list, but they're not apps, they're stuff like:
Accounts
Application Widgets
Bluetooth Pairings
Country, Language, Time zone
Wi-Fi Access Points
but I want to delete the Avatar, TeleNav, and others.
PS, I've tried searching, didn't help me, so please don't tell me to "SEARCH". OH and I also read the sticky, didn't help x]
Any help is gladly appreciated
Does anybody know how? Please?
I prefer File Manager, it's free and pretty easy to use and delete all the Bloatware. Download it, open it and navigate to My Phone>system>app and look for the apk you want removed.
Is it ASTRO file manager, eFile - File Manager, or just plain "File Manager"?
Oh and what is .odex and .apk? Should I delete both?

.odex is the file before deodexing.
.apk is the output once deodexed.
Yes, delete both.. But I would recommended titanium to uninstall. And there is a link in the sticky that tells you all of the .apks & .odex files you can remove...
Plain File Manager.
Here's a list of safe programs you can remove.
First off all the Standard Apps:
AccountAndSync.apk/odex -> The app in the drawer, not the settings.
AddToHome.apk/odex
AudioPostcard.apk/odex
Avatar.apk/odex -> The app that launches Avatar in the video player.
BuddiesNow.apk/odex
Dlna.apk/odex [Allshare]
FlashPlugin.apk/odex
GoGo.apk/odex
Infoalarm.apk/odex [Daily Briefing]
KindleStub.apk/odex
Layer-samsung.apk/odex
MediaHub.apk/odex
Memo.apk/odex
Mini Diary.apk/odex
MobiTV.apk/odex
MyAccountStub_4-5-10.apk/odex
Myfiles.apk/odex
Sims3_Samsung_Embed_Launcher.apk/odex
slackerradio.apk/odex
Swype-Tips.apk/odex
Telenav.apk/odex
thinkdroid.apk/odex [ThinkFree Office]
vvm-signed.apk/odex -> T-Mobile Visual Voicemail [can be re-downloaded from the market. for some reason that version is the preferred one.]
VoiceRecorder.apk/odex
VoceDialer.apk/odex
Writeandgo.apk/odex
TouchwizWidgets:
Day.apk/odex
DualClock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Calenderclock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Feedandupdate.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_stockclock.apk/odex
SamsungWidget_Weatherclock.apk/odex

Oh and when I use file manager and try to delete it says insufficient privilege or something like that
Oh and it didn't ask for root powers even though I already rooted and have the superuser app

Anybody know how to force root permission? When I try to delete it says permission insufficient.

Open SU and see if you accidentally denied it. If so click it if not then reboot your phone and open Ti again. That should prompt SU.

[Q] Intsalling leaked ICS Google Music App

I can't seem to side load this app. It side loads on my phone just fine but the app didn't come on my phone like it comes pre-loaded on our tabs. I tried installing via adb and root explorer. If anyone figures it out, please share.

remnants of deleted apps

I used the BlueMonkey theme by Jivy26, however I didn't like the GoSMSPro. I deleted the app via titanium backup, and used File Explorer to confirm it was deleted. However, it still shows up as being installed in the market place and I have the icon in my app list (although it says the application is not installed on my phone) How do I manusally remove the icon from the app list?

I guess the best thing to do is to reinstall the app and uninstall from the task manager or go to settings-applications and uninstall from there.

Make sure that the app is not running in the background or as a service.
Reboot the phone and go into settings>applications>running
services and see if you can find the offending app there.
If you can find it there, click on it and select STOP".
Then if all goes well you will be able to do a complete unistall.
Not running as a service =\ Is there a place where those icons are located on the phone itself? I could delete it through root explorer if I could find it.

icons for applications are stored within the apk itself....if the apk is gone, the app is gone.
try uninstalling them and then wipe cache/dalvik cache in CWM

If you know how to use root explorer to delete files
you can go into root of phone /system/apps and find
the offending APK name and delete with root explorer.
Some apps will have a "com." before the actual app name
so look for that too.
Good luck!

Android market gone. Please help

I have a big problem now.
my android market gets stuck at "downloading" and i cant download any apps.
i google about this and it seems that a factory reset is required.
i was reluctant to do a full reset,
so i download the latest market from this forum, version 3.3.11 something.
after install, problem still persist, cant download apps.
so i use rom toolbox, deleted the market system app,
and reinstall the new app market.
now worst, market always force close.
fine, so i do a factory reset. wipe everything.
but after reboot, market app is not there.
what can i do to get back the market app?
Go download n try again ...or use root explore system/app n place the market app there ....hope it helps

Here is a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329014
thanks, strangely the market app is now a system app just by putting the apk in that folder.
when pressing edit, theres no minus sign at the top right, meaning i cant delete it, it became a system app..

Market not downloading apps

Hi guys. I guess ive screwed up. Am no pro to custom roms and stuff all I can do and always do is root my mobile and use link2sd for extra downloading and delete unnecessary apps like wisepilot and stock demo games.
The issue is with my market it has updated, and I downloaded a number of apps via it this evening. But from the past few hours its not getting started. When trying to download the message appears (starting download) but doesn't. Ive reinstalled the googleapp via flashtools via rootmanager, reinstalled by the option via link2sd, restored my backup via xrecovery, deleted the cache, but none of these worked. Please help.
