[Q] Best way to uninstall Tit Backup?

I would like to remove version that its included in new Phiremod 6.3 and install some other version.
I cant do it from Applications menu.
Any help?
maybe find a free "uninstaller" app in the market and try that
Here is a link to a website you may want to bookmark for the future. Should be able to download and install with root explorer or an equivalent over the existing version, if this is what you are looking for.

You couldn't come up with a better abbreviation than "tit"?
Lol.. like TIBU lol.... use root explorer and delete the apk
Sent from one of those missing Droids
Lol... Didnt think about "TIT" before U mentioned it! xaxaxa
Anyway best way for me was to remove it with some System Uninstaller app.
And then to install newer version I had to put new apk at system/app folder, give same permissions and then reboot.
After reboot install went fine.
The most common short hand for Titanium is Ti.

New Market 3.x - I have had it!

Ok. I bought this G Tab knowing that I would have to install ROMs, tweak .prop files, NVFlash, CWM, RootExplorer, etc. No problem there.
But now I have had it with this new Market. Many (if not most) applications are showing as incompatible with my tablet even though I already installed them. My beloved Word With Friends now requires an update, but I can not install it from the Market as the new Market believes the app is incompatible with my ROM. That is the last draw as I cannot play it anymore.
So does anybody have a market.zip that has Market 2.3.6 so I can go back to the old market? I have the .apk files but I think I need something that could install via CWM (BL 1.2) since all the apks do not work if you install them by themselves (they all FC). I would freeze market updater so it does not upgrade again to 3.x.
Thanks

Installed the GAPPS and it did not install the market. Tried uninstalling Market and Market updater first and still no go.
It looks like something is blocking the old market from being installed. I extracted it and installed it myself but it then FC everytime it started.
Very frustrating. This is the kind of crap that is going to kill android. It just looks like Google is purposedly trying to lock out aftermarket ROMs from accessing Market apps.
This happens to me frequently. The solution Ive found is to stop the market and clear data. After this is done, launch the market and youll no longer get the error. Sometimes Ill have to do this 3-4 times a day. Good luck.
Interestingly enough, I think I got a workaround. Through some investigation, I found out that the problem was that many apps were being filtered because of the screen resolution. So I started working with the density property in the build.prop to find out if there was a magic number that will make things work like they used to. It appears that I did find that number and it is 160.
So I updated the build.prop line with Root Explorer:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
After that I cleared the Market app data and the Google Services Framework data. Rebooted and everything that was previously installed seems to be recognized and the applications started updating again.

[Q] Android Market version question

Hey guys,
I updated my Android market to version 3.1.3 via an apk from xda and while I was browsing through the files on my phone, the info on the 'vending.apk' (android market) file said:
file version 2.3.4
installed version 3.1.3
My question is, shouldn't the file version also be the same as the installed version (3.1.3)? My phone is not rooted.
Thanks!
I'm just guessing here:
I know you can uninstall market updates through the manage applications page to make it go back to its earliest installed version. Maybe it installs the updates elsewhere and "overlays" them on the original version to get the new "installed" version. This way the apk stays the same version it always was, allowing a quick and easy revert to the old market. If updates are applied directly to the apk, maybe the version number for the current apk stays the same to allow easy determination of what your earliest installed version is.
Again, this is all guesswork. I could be way off the mark. I hope not, though.

Getting back old Market

Guys, i have a problem. Ever since update to newest version of Market i cant return to old 2.3.6 version any longer. Its very important because here we dont have paid apps so im using Market Enabler which only works on older version. Until now i have been using oldmarket app but it doesnt work any more. Tried this and this but still nothing. Tried to delete the Vending.apk and replace it with older but still nothing, it just says market isnt instaled on phone. How to get it back?? Thank you

Its a question of deleting Vending.apk and Market Updater .apk from System/APPs
Replace Vending .apk with an old version .
No more no less than that .
jje
Thats what i thought but after trying so many time it seems this is not the case. When I delete it and replace it with root explorer nothing happens after the reboot, still the new market.
Then you are doing something wrong .
Root Explorer not deleting the file vending apk ??
Old vending apk not old ??/
Market updater left on phone ??
Delete files first reboot phone no market now = confirms deleted .
jje
Everything is correct. With root explorer go to system/app and delate market updater and phonesky.apk (no more vending.apk, this is replacment), download old Vending.apk 2.3.6 and paste it in system/app Reboot, still the new market I think its the problem with this new market, i never had this problem before the update, could easly replaced it. Now, its not working anymore.

Tried that also, doesnt work. I was using it before v 1.1.6 but now when i use it, nothing happens. Tried the new version 1.2 but i cant even open that version, it says something about closing apps that block adds. Im not using addfree or anything like that. Im on Criskelo rom V32. There are more people that started to say that they cant download nothing or change market anymore. Market v 3.3.11
The new market (3.3.11) has a new name, Phonesky.apk. Maybe you can remove that, and then install old market again?

[Q] Apps form the market doesn't download

Hi there,am running BEASTSense ROM on HTC Hero. When am trying download from the market it doesn't download. It says your app will be download and that's it. Does anybody knows the answer of that annoying thing ? Reflash the rom doesn't help.
Thanks.
It sounds like you are trying to download the app from the Play Store Webpage..
If that is the case, then after a new flash you need to download at least one app through the market on your phone in order to "link" your phone and the play store account, after which you can close and reopen the play store twice in order for the app to update itself to the latest version.
when it reopens as Play Store and you agree the terms and conditions, it should then work online on the webpage .. or try download another app to link it and try again
The rom I'm running is with market app instaled.Doesn't wont update to google play. If I try install it says "there is a problem with installing the package". Anyway will change the rom probably.Thanks
I have the same issue as the guy in OP, the downloading app just hangs in there in the status bar
Have you tried to wipe market data and cache in Manage Applications. You could try to flash or push an updated market App to replace your current app if you feel the app is broken.. Paraphrasing Icebox from his thread..
You will need to find the market apk you want to push (i guess that's from Froyo version) and copy/paste it into /system/app by using a file manager that has root access - Es File Explorer is great for this but you'll need to grant root access from Settings (Es File Explorer settings that is) and then perform the copy/paste action in /system/app.
The market is named Vending.apk and the one you'll copy should need to have the same name.. ..
Good luck, or try a different Rom.. etc
