So it was early alright. I wanted to make a Tasker profile in which it reboots every morning at 7 AM. Now what I did was create a new profile and select the time. However, stupid mistake as it was: I selected to reboot From 7 AM, but didn't define a Until time. You are free to facepalm at this point in time.
To put it bluntly: My phone reboots the second it is booted. Every time.
Now, what I have tried to make it stop:
Go into tasker, deselect the profile (Didn't work)
Go into tasker, delete the profile (Didn't work. It said it couldn't write to the SD card at that point)
Go into tasker, turn tasker off completely (Didn't work)
Go into recovery, delete the whole Tasker folder -thinking it would contain the profiles- (Didn't work)
Any way to delete that specific profile, or Tasker as a whole?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure how much time you got before boot and reboot. But if you have time to delete the profile / folder, you can uninstall Tasker right?
Anyways, it will be there in your play store account. You can install it without paying again.
Reboot to twrp recovery and use the file manager to delete the tasker apk from the data folder. I assume you have twrp as cwm doesn't have this feature.
As soon as it boots up try to uninstall tasker.
Rename the thread to user error, tasker is far from stupid

Go to play store on your laptop, orders and settings, find tasker and press the delete button and it will uninstall.
Or search tasker in play store (make sure you are logged into your account!) And delete it from there. Nothing to do with your phone. As soon as it boots up it will uninstall tasker

Everytime I flash a new ROM and setup my google account it automatically restores 19 apps and something that disables my google navigation. I have tried going into privacy setting and uncheck backup assistant before I log in but it still for some reason backed up that data and screwed up my nav. Any one know how to get rid of backup adsistant?

flash new rom, boot phone, before signing in to google, if your phone has file manager on it, go into system/apps and rename backup assistant to .bak....then you can sign into google and not have anything go through BA
Thanks I will try that
I _think_ that's handled in the google account settings not backup assistant. I don't know exactly the setting to change, but I get around it by setting up google account, not checking "backup my device data with google" and then if i go into the market and see it downloading apps i simply reboot phone before it finishes. It only does it the first time on the device for me. Since making a conscientious effort to remove the backup checkmark mine hasn't been doing it.

This.
also yo can go into settings>privacy and unchecked backup which should clear your existing Google backup.
I did all those unchecking steps but for some reason it would continue to load some apps. Changing the name of the backup assistant app in root explorer did the trick. Thanks

The proper way is before you flash the zip, go in, system -> app -> delete GoogleBackupTransport.apk and recompile.
I'm getting force closes from the apps that google is restoring on first boot. how do i disable this automatic app installation?
Uncheck "Automatic restore" and "Back up my settings" under Settings>Privacy. Also, when you flash a new ROM and go through the setup portion, you'll get a check box that comes up that asks you about this. Make sure you uncheck it as well. It took a flash or two to make this go away, but as long as you do this as part of your setup you won't see it the next time you flash.
Easy way, don't enter google info during setup. When your ready, go to accounts and sync, set it up, uncheck restore apps.

+1 if you skip entering in your gmail info @ boot they won't load...then what I do afterwards I go to the market to download mybackup pro and restore everything that way... Sure, it makes you puffing your Google info to use the market but it shouldn't just start downloading when you do that...

Hi,
Recently I just got ICS 4.0.3 LP8 for my galaxy s2. Basically, I forgot that I had homeMyhome.apk app installed, which basically changes the program that launches when i double tap.
So i deleted this (thinking i was then gonna install the app again);
/data/app/com.vlingo.client.samsung-1.apk
and some other folder associated with it (forgot location)
Then I realized, that this in fact deleted the stuff for homeMyhome, and of course vlingo. Now my double tap does nothing, and I cant install the app again because now it says the program is already installed, even thou it doesn't show up in titanium backup, app manger or anywhere I looked.
tldr; I deleted vlingo voice command and want to reinstall it
My question is I was to restart again, so is there a way to completely delete vlingo and then reinstall it, as well as delete everything associated with homeMyhome, for those who are familiar with it - so i can reinstall it.
if you have ROOT you have to download ROOT Uninstaller
it's can delete any App
Progress!
Alright, i just got voice command to work again by installing a cwm zip. Now I need to somehow remove all remenants of homeMyhome so i can reinstall it properly
Hello. I'm not very experienced with android and recently got a new z ultra (6802). I think it came with 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 i'm not sure, but as soon as i turned it on i was notified to update to 4.4.4. All went well and one of the first apps i installed was clean master. I hadnt tried to root the phone and i was thinking about it mostly in order to get rid of some preinstalled apps, but i found out that clean master had an option to "deactivate" them so they disappeared and all was fine. The last few weeks i loaded the phone with all sorts of useless stuff i wanted to try, and today i tried rooting it using this tool and everything worked ok. Then i did a hard reset and started setting everything up again... But this time clean master, root app delete and 2 other apps of the same type wouldnt uninstall system apps (despite having root access now). Any ideas on what to do? Is it because of the root - should i try to unroot it? Where can i find these ftfs needed? I saw some in the forum but they are for 6833..

Well, clean master is one of the app I hate most. Killing app processes frequently and clearing app caches are the bad ideas for android devices because android system always try to restart apps everytime you kill. So it greatly reduces battery life. Clearing caches can make apps to start slowly.
That's not the point, right? But just a suggestion not to use task killers and cache cleaner if you have enough RAM and storage space.
Ok now for your problem not uninstalling system apps,
-Install ES File Explorer
-Tap the upper left of the app (three striped shape)
-Tap Tools, Tap Root Explorer (not on the button "On") giving/allowing/authorize root access
-Now Tap Mount R/W and choose every partition as R/W then Tap OK
-Let's get back to explorer, Tap the upper left box labelled as "/" (it will redirect you to root of the Device)
-Go to "system" folder in explorer
-There are two folders in Kitkat, namely "app" and "priv-app"
You can now choose apps to be uninstalled that you couldn't uninstall inside these folders by removing any apps (and .odex files) by Long pressing on apps and choose multi apps at once.
For me, I don't delete apps that I wanted to uninstall but I cut them and create a new folder on sd card and paste them all in that new folder for later needs (you can navigate to internal or external storage from the upper right box of the Explorer, to create new folder, tap on the button with "+" sign at the bottom left corner of the app). Don't delete apps that you don't know well because doing so can prevent your device from booting up.
P.S. You can also install apps as system ones in that reverse way (copy, paste from external to system/app). Remember not to include space in the name of the app you wanted to install as system.
Remember to restart the devices after moving/deleting apps.
I think you now understand how to do. Good Luck, mate.
Thanks for taking the time to help! and es file explorer looks like a really nice app. i followed your instructions and moved some of the apk and matching odex to sd card. the problem is the apps didnt dissapear from the list and as soon as i was done play store was downloading new versions of the apps i moved... what i dont understand is why it worked in the first place when it was new! could it be the sony firmware it came with? since this failed, is there an app to freeze these things?

One thing I left to say that you must restart your device as soon as you finish moving/deleting system apps. After rebooting, the device system will delete app leftovers. It will solve your problem of not disappearing from the list.
I always keep on flashing new ROMs for my redmi note 3. Use it for a week and then flash a new one.
Its easy and fast proccess to flash and install a ROM. Though the setting up process is longer.
But. I have to install apps then. I have more than 70 apps (apks) to install. It really takes a long time to install them individually and then set up all this apps.
I really need a technique to install the apk's directly.
Without asking :; in the background.
I have tried with es root explorer one key install feature but that also doesn't work.
It shows install/uninstall failed.
Help.!? Is there any way to install mass no of apks at once. To save time and set them up later.
Pls
Any technique or way. Does anyone know how to do this??????
Hey
I think Titanium Backup is what you are looking for ?
Drop me a msg if you don't know how to use it.

Try Titanium Backup Pro.
I also flash ROMs frequently. The very first thing before flashing I do is to create backup of all my user apps. Then I Clean flash new ROM and I only download one app from play store i.e. Titanium backup. It can restore all the user as well as system apps (not recommended).
You can use it batch actions to restore all the user apps in One Go and If you will purchase the Pro feature It will restore all the applications silently in background. Without pro feature it will prompt you to install individual apk
xposed
There is an xposed module for that, but i forget the name. Maybe it was installeropt
use titanuim and create update.zip in titanium battch actions with all u r apps and flash that zips .....boom done
everybody who recommeds using titanium backup is correct. go grab the app.
you can try cm13, or use update zip option add all apk's in zip flash via twrp,
