Titanium Backup freezes when I try to uninstall an app through it - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Im trying to uninstall SeekDroid, it doesnt want to uninstall though an uninstaller application so I tried doing it through TB. It gets stuck on the uninstall popup and I have to restart my phone to make it go away. Also, TB doesnt show up in my app drawer anymore. I cant get this app off of my phone, but more importantly, TB wont uninstall anything.
Thanks

Is that where the phone "reboots" twice to remove the app? Mine locked up on the first reboot (before hitting the bootanim) using Titanium backup to "uninstall" a broken SlideIT keyboard app that kept crashing

It doesn't reboot it just stays on the "uninstall" popup. I can exit TB but when I reopen it its still on the popup lol. I have to reboot to get TB to do anything else

Are you connected to the computer when trying to do this? I've had issues with that.
Also check your USB Debugging settings and try the opposite of what you currently have.

Make sure USB Debugging is still turned on.

Turning USB Debugging solved it. TB no longer stays frozen, thanks. However SeekDroid is still on my phone. I was checking some of the market reviews are people are saying they cant uninstall it either. Is there a way I can remove this through a file explorer?

Why not wipe and reflash?

I have never used seekdroid before, but I have seen some apps that require device administrator before they will uninstall correctly.
You might check to see if it is in the list.
Settings>Location and security>Select device administrators
It's worth a shot, and like smknutson said, if all else fails you can always wipe it.

How to completely uninstall app

Hello all. I recently reformatted my phone and upon reinstalling all of my apps from the amazon app store, I must have gotten a bad install on seekdroid, so I tried to uninstall the app to re-install it. uninstalling through the Applications menu under system settings did not work, so I uninstalled with titanium backup. However there must be some traces of the app left over as in the the applications menu in the system settings this is listed: "org.gtmedia.seekdroid" I can not find that file anywhere and when I try to select it, the processes force closes.
where can I find all of the files for this app so I can reinstall?
thanks,
Mike
Try, from adb or a terminal emulator, running "pm uninstall org.gtmedia.seekdroid" without quotes. Or reboot several times while crossing your fingers

Thanks for the info, however seekdroid is not listed under there. Hopefully my issues will be fixed after next flash. If not, I will have to do a complete re-install
I did get a $10 credit though for calling and asking Amazon what the deal is though

[Q] Unable to uninstall apps

Not sure whats going on with my Prime. starting a few days ago i am unable to uninstall applications. If i drag hem to the uninstall icon they start to uninstall but then never finishes.
If i try and uninstall from the apps menu, i doesn't work from their either but the size calculations stay at computing as well.
Any thoughts?

Try uninstalling them through titanium backup

I can do that (and have). but i shouldn't HAVE to do that.
More concerning is the settings app remaining at computing.

[Q] Uninstall apps without going through uninstaller

Hello
I have an HTC One X which is rooted, and I am wondering is there a way (or an app) to uninstall other apps without going through the normal uninstaller?
It'd be much faster to select a load of apps and have the phone uninstall them automatically..
I'm asking here rather than the HTC One X area because this is relative to any Android phone.
Not sure how many apps you are trying to remove (or why for sure) but if your rooted you can use Titanium Backup for what you want to do. Just be careful that you don't unintentionally remove something you want/need.

I will try Titanium Backup.. Whenever I am on the Play store, I tend to install lots of apps and if I don't like them, they end up being left on the phone, so every so often I like to clean out apps I haven't used in a while.
Thanks!
EDIT: How can I select multiple apps, then uninstall them in one go?

TB has a bit of a learning curve and you can get into trouble quickly if you aren't careful but the bulk actions are under the check box on the top right corner of the app.
You also may want to consider a few alternatives in the play store like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kugoweb.uninstaller it looks more straight forward for what you are trying to do...just a thought

There are only the following options:
Un-install backed up user apps
Un-install non-backed up user apps
Un-insall all user apps
Un-install all user & system apps
Is there a way I can mark multiple apps to uninstall rather than uninstall by whether I have a backup or not?
I have tried a few alternative apps, but they all open up the uninstall thing and each one has to be done one by one, however I notice TB can uninstall apps without using that, so I'm asking is there a way to select mutiple apps manually with it.

Yes, any of the uninstall options you mentioned will allow you to check or uncheck the apps after you click RUN before it actually does anything. As I mentioned though you can get into trouble quite quickly if you uninstall something on accident. If you don't back up if make one before hand just in case.
If you start by clicking run on uninstall all user apps you get the check boxes to refine you're choices beforehand

Ah, I see now. I was worried that tapping that would just uninstall all user apps. I have already set regular backups, so I'm all ok there.
Just de-cluttered my phone with this,
Thanks for all your help!

[Q] Is it OK to install the built-in TetherigManager app?

I already used FoxFi and it works well. But when I run FoxFi, the TetheringManager app also started. As a matter of fact, it will have notification to configure TetheringManager whenever I start FoxFi.
I tried freezing the app with TB, but it still starting in the background.
So can I fully UNINSTALL it?

Whatsoever you want to do with it? Your title says install and your post says uninstall. Tethering manager it does what the name says, it watches your wifi tethering to see how much data your using, don't know the purpose for sure , if At&T is trying to charge for hotspots, but can just go in with root explorer to system/app, copy the tetheringmanager.apk somewhere in your SD for safe keeping, delete the apk and reboot.

This question was asked in another forum and it led me to deleting (after freezing) the tethering manager app. Now it doesn't start up and I can tether just fine. Hope that alleviates your concerns about deleting, but it would probably be safest to do what the above poster recommended.

Thanks for the input, ill delete the app from TB.
Yes I want to UNINSTALL, but when I posted, Samsung Keyboard changed the word.

Why does com.tmobile.pr.apdapt want root?

Why does com.tmobile.pr.adapt keep insisting on requesting root once rooted?
My guess is....when they pull u up in grandcentral (troubleshooting) it tells them if the phone is rooted. W the my tmobile app they can see everything. Apps storage space. (Not individual pics or videos) even how much storage space you have left. I think it constantly runs in the background always asking until it gets it or the phone dies. I know its safe to uninstall I have on the g4 and v10.

If rooted, TBU allows for it to be frozen or even uninstalled. I went as far as removing all traces of T-Mobile bloatware

I use Rom Toolbox Pro to freeze backup uninstall stuff
A good app is "system uninstaller". It automatically keeps a copy of what ever you uninstall and reinstalls it with ease if ever needed. It also allows a batch uninstall.
