Did you clear data for contacts storage as well ? Here are apks if that will help.
I cleared the data then went to clear the cache I may have clicked uninstall by accident. Thanks for the apk files, how do I go about flashing them?

You should be able to download right to your phone, make sure allow unknown sources is checked in security settings. Then go to download folder and install, or copy and paste with a root explorer.
Using a root explorer I saw that both of those files were still installed on my phone, I couldn't uninstall them to try and reinstall them. I get the message " uninstall not successful"

Did you try clearing contact storage ? Also check to see that permissions are set as rw-rw-rw-, you could also try clicking on the apks in system apps and see if it will reinstall

Just did this on my phone to test. Using root explorer go to system apps ,make sure it is mounted r/w long click on contacts and select delete. Go to download folder find contact apk, long click and select copy. Go back to system apps and select copy. Long press on contacts apk in system, select permissions and set to rw-rw-rw- , then reboot.

Other than restoring to stock and rerooting and unlocking, I am out of ideas. All of your data would be saved so it isn't that big of a pain.
Edit...do you have both these lg contact apps in system apps? And are the permissions set as shown ?

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!
Is there a way to manually remove a market link? I've uninstalled this app and it shows in my App list as available for download. I've tried the Titanium backup method, but it doesn't remove the app from the list. Are there other applications that can modify what shows up in your app list or am I just stuck looking at it on the top of my apps every time I look at it for updates?
Interesting. Mine is uninstalled too but I don't have that problem. Use a file explorer to try and find the apk and see if it is still in /data/app or elsewhere. Another thing I might try is clearing the data for market.
Used a file explorer, I couldn't find any trace of the app. Could you explain the clearing of market data please? I tried clearing the cache for it in the /data/data folder and in the settings menu as well and it still shows.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Did you try rebooting after removing? That should help remove it.

Of course. It's just unusual since it wasn't like this on my Hero. I was able to uninstall it on my hero without it showing up in my market app list. I've attached a screenshot of how it looks when I open the 'my apps' list. Probably not very helpful, but it at least describes the dilemma. Running Stock ROM with revolutionary root.

Well go to settings>applications>manage applications, then go to the "all" tab and scroll down to Market, and click "Clear data" and "clear cache." I'm not sure this will work but it might.
The "Clear Data" option is greyed out sadly. I have cleared the cache before many times.

Interesting. Mine is not greyed out. Here's one more thing you can try:
Using a root explorer or adb (if you don't know adb and want to, ask me, it's a good thing to know) 1. Delete Phonesky.apk from /system/app/ and reboot to clear the data. 2. put my attached copy of the newer market into /system/app and reboot again.
replace with this Phonesky.apk
Removed old market, rebooted, and installed new market. Moved to the bottom of the list now at least, but it still shows up.

Try this
Go into settings/privacy and uncheck "backup my settings" and uncheck "automatic restore". Then boot into recovery and wipe cache and davlik cache then reboot and see if that helps. Also when you used root explorer did you set the market app permissions correctly???

Tried the first two suggestions after your post, still there. Could you explain the permissions part please. I use estrongs for exploring the root.

When using root explorer to place an app in /system you have to long press on the app and a menu will appear. From that menu select permission. Then change them according to the system folder permissions. To find out the system permissions just long press on any system app and select permissions then make a note of the checked boxes. Then go back to your app "the one you added" and long press on it and select permissions and check the boxes exactly as the other system app were. Then reboot. Hope that helps

As far as using estrongs file manger to place apps in system I'm not sure as I don't use it. However root explorer is a great app you should check it out.

Thanks for the info. It has the same permissions as the other system apps. Google gave an interesting suggestion to clear the download manager's data, but that didn't work either.
Then I'd suggest a full wipe after a backup of your data of course. That should fix your issue.

Hi All,
my issue is related to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44940570#post44940570 but i guess the thread is dead now.
The problem is when i access my gallery it closes and gives me a message that says, "Not enough space, please delete uneccessary items...bla bla."
the solution i used to fix this is to uninstall instagram and reboot my phone. but when i try reinstalling instagram again, the issue comes back.
anyone who has a better fix rather than uninstalling instagram?
BTW, im sure all my storage still has plenty of free space on them. so it is impossible that storage is really the problem.

Don't know about gallery problem, but if you have root you can go to /data/app folder and look for an .odex file (for instagram) and delete it. Reboot now and it should work to install instagram

Then go to CWM wipe data and reboot.
BACKUP BEFORE
Wipe data will deletre all apps, so you should back them up.
There's no need for that. Flash the script from this thread, it should solve your problem without wiping any app or data:

Quite weird. Maybe you should try a full wipe then.. Or flash the script another time, because that worked for me sometimes. Another (temporary) sollution is to download another gallery fron the Play Store.
an update, i wiped my phone and still the issue is there.
i cannot also take photos now, when i try to capture a photo it is not saving on either phone or sd card.
Same problem with me, my solution is open root explorer then go to sd card then change mount r/o to r/w. but it is just temporary solution
i dont know how to fix it rightly.
I had the same problem before.its because corrupted folders. .try read this..and followed the guide

I tried deleting it's cache and data but that did not help. Uninstalled it but can't install it again because -505. Then I tried deleting app data for play store and google play services but this did not help either! Now I am just without facebook messenger which is not very cool

Not sure you can root, you have android 7, there is no temp rooting for it yet, and also if root failed then that might lead to a software brick, which can be solved by re flashing stock rom which is a bigger thing
So I'd vote for the "reset data"
Sometimes I get the pop up that the launcher3 does not work properly and the terminal asks me if I want to close the launcher, I close and everything works fine again, but the other day it came out and the problem was not corrected.

It's not root with android 5.1. Even now seems its saying its not space in internal storage but i think its not true. I cant open play store neither. Maybe easy option is restore factory?
Indeed, this is a simple solution... You can try it... If the internal storage is runing out of space and you have not installed anything, there's a high probability that a trojan is involved.
install the virustotal onlinescanner immediately after the factory reset and have the system partition scanned on which the the lauchner is.
Remember: After a Factory-Reset all data and apps are gone...

Only with root you can go further and delete this apps... if these apps are really dangerous and belong to the system, then you have a contaminated rom. In this case, you should consider importing a suitable custom rom and then re-installing the smartphone... Or root the phone, kill the processes (if the apps are already runs) and delete the apps with for example root explorer...

Kaspersky couldnt find nothing. There isnt a way without root to close and restart for a moment launcher3, i think the launcher restarted kinda bad and its just that. When appears the pop up if i want to close or wait its the same, i cant force this message again?
You can dowload an other (free) launcher, put it on the sd card and install it (without having the phone online). You can use a pc to download the nova-launcher (https://nova-launcher.en.uptodown.com/android/download) (english version). Then start the nova launcher and switch to "always use nova launcher"...
And when nova launcher is working i can force restart of launcher3 then?
you can try this but this is not recommend... if the launcher3 is infected with malware, the worst scenario will happen again...
