Hi,
I've tried to reinstall the TSF Shell launcher on my Galaxy S3, i have ~9 gig of free space in my system & i'm running PilotX rom.
For some reason the installation won't complete and displays an error which says "Out Of Space, free up some space and try again".
I've checked the \system\app folder and there's no odex file for TSF, regarding my data folder, its completely empty, does that make sense?
I'm able to install other apk's.
Anyone ran into this issue before?
Thanks,
Yaron.
Well first it won't be in your system/app folder. All user apps are stored in data/app

Any reason you may know that will cause my data folder to be empty?

I froze some apps from the recommended list, and I assume I might have selected something I wasnt supposed to.

freezing apps that you dont know what they do is a very easy way to get a bootloop
you can use the system dump to fix it if you know how to use adb a bd push the apps you froze
alternatively
if you can get the phone to connect to your computer you can use adb shell to unfreeze you frozen apps with the following commands
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
ls
//look at what apps have .fro extensions added
rn appname.apk.fro appname.apk
//repeat
that will fix it
Contacts FC fix?
So I screwed up and deleted the yahoo files instead of freeze them on titanium...getting the dreaded contacts force close issue. How can I use this system dump to restore those deleted files? Can I install the apk's through something like astro? Sorry, total noob apparently....had no idea yahoo would have anything to do with contacts..oh well. Thanks.

i did the same thing and also i have no SMS/MMS notifactions probably caus i removed something else i shouldnt have, ive tried installing those apks again through titanium backup and pushing through adb with no luck so what im using for now with no problem for contacts is Go Dialer EX and Handcent for sms/mms
system dump
So is it as easy as doing a copy all from the system/app folder from the dump onto the razr's system/app folder using a file manager like astro?

not at all. be my guest if you want to try. A. i dont think that astro can access the root folder last time i tried, might have changed since, you would need to use a file manager that can access, mount rw/ro, and change permissions of the system files and/or folders in the root.
B. i tried it already and everytime you try to reinstall the system apps through a file manager it says installation failed.
You have to put all the system apps in the folder AND set the right permissions

Ahh, ok, so I can do it with root explorer pretty easily then?

So I've tried using File Expert, with Root Exploer, but apparently I'm having some issues when I try to Mount as Read/Write. Also can't seem to use it to change permissions. Anyone have any other apps that will give me access to the permissions?

Well, it appears that if you were like me and deleted one of those applications, you're SOL. I've diligently went through the system dump provided, and added all the items I was missing into my /system/app, changed all the permissions to the correct ones, reboot..and still nothing. Even did a full system wipe/factory reset afterwards to no avail. I know this method worked with other phones, but apparently, the RAZR kernal doesn't allow for it. It seems the only solution would be if a SBF was created that can fully restore the phone to factory install...fingers crossed! So what can we take away from this...don't be an idiot like me and delete apps...just freeze them. I think I must be the only one who screwed that up...=/

On a side no...."Go Contacts EX" is my temp solution.
Thanks for the system dump ... i check the bootintro ... i don't like the rogers ... ( rogers branded ... )
Sorry!
The application Accounts (process com.motorola.setup) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
The following error appears once i press "Done adding accounts".
I have already done data wipe. it still appears.
What should i do?

Just rooted, installed superuser, ran a full titanium backup. Then started clearing out some apps and accidentally removed 2 instances of clock 1.0 (why are there 2?). I thought it was just the widgets, but apparently it was the whole app/alarm clock etc. I go into titanium backup, find the app, click restore data+app, and it just gets stuck on the restoring screen. I've tried a few times, rebooted the phone, and it'll stay there for 10+ minutes. What's going on? Should I try a different method?
If it makes a difference, the backup file is currently just on my phone. I have no sd card yet so I just backed it up on my phone and was going to transfer to computer/sd card when I get it.
Really? Anyone?
If it helps I now have an sd card and transferred the titanium backup onto my cpu as well.
Copy clock.apk there manually.

I'm assuming that's a manual Trans from my CPU to my phone...what program can I use? Where can I find the file or should I try again with the I've I backed up

Need help still.I downloaded an app installer and downloaded two different apps one package one just clock..neither install using the installer. not sure if my issue is with using the installer since its a sys file or wrong apps.... Never done this before so don't know how compatibility works and everything

Use Root Explorer. Go to the file you backed up, copy it (you may have to unzip it first), click the back button until you see only a "/" in the upper left, the click on system, then app, hit the Mount R/W button on the upper left and paste it. Reboot and you should be good to go...
If not, you may have to set permissions, but I find that they are usually good by default.

Ok I'm using ES File Explorer (since its free). I found three clock related entries in titanium backup. They all begin with com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.****
one is .apk, one is .properties, one is .tar. Since I'm unsure of what I uninstalled (2 instances of clock 1.0 shows up as being removed in titanium) I tried copying all 3. Using ES I selected all three, copy to, system, app, paste. No other apps showed up under system>app. Not sure if this is standard when copying to or if that means theres an issue. Anyway after trying to move the files, each came up as failed to copy.
In the app also if I just click on one item, such as the .apk, it will load a screen with a clock icon asking if I want to install. That fails as well.
trying to reinstall Titanium Backup and i keep getting a message that i am Out of Space. now i look at my storage and this is what i have, i have enough room but i cant install.. Im rooted, unlocked bootloader and running Viper Rom 1.1

OK to fix your problem you are going to need to delete the odex file from /data/app/ for com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.odex. Delete this file via root explorer and you should be good to go.

No problem, Anytime you have an app problem like that on a odex ROM usually deleting the corresponding odex file will fix the problem.
i'm using root explorer and found a bunch of apk files in the /data/app folder. i never downloaded any of these, i guess android automatically made copies of the original apks? now is it ok to delete these? will it affect functionality of any apps?i have currently?

Updated app like Gmail , market will be placed in data/app....
You can remove it but updates will be gone...
So delete old files from system/app from root explorer or titanium... place updatedapps in system/app....

Nexus 5 KitKat v4.4.x ... I deleted all APKs from /data/app and apps started crashing. I forced a reboot and stuck in animated google boot logo for 20 mins with nothing. I did the hard shutdown and into bootloader to go into recovery. I had to use nexus root toolkit v1.8.0 to reset to factory
its cause some of the apps which you installed were installed in data/app.. in your case you deleted it.. so the apps which installed in that folder wont work.. try re-flashing the rom.. thats the solution.. and i know its been a three months you posted this problem.. and now i guess you cleared that already...
HI. I was wondering if I can delete the apk's in my root app folder after it was install to save space or do I need to keep theme. I have over 2gb of data in the app apk folder and I was looking into free more space by deleting theme. so can I ?...

If you want to run Sony firmware but want it a bit less bloat then try DoggRom or monxDIFIED (I think monx has some removed, but cant see what)

Apk's are program files so if you delete them they don't work. There's a thread somewhere about which system files you can delete safely http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46176101
You can uninstall themes etc normally through the app manager.
It's not like windows where you get an install file that you can delete afterwards.

If you are rooted then just go into /system/apps and delete the ones you want.
Then head to /data and delete the core apps you don't want. Its easy.
Just make sure you know what you're deleting. Lord made a list of ones that can be deleted and those that require other lib files so shouldn't be deleted.
okey dokey. thanks
