did it install as a system app? Strange. Could always use tibu to convert to a user app(if it is a system app) or just clear data and uninstall from tibu itself.

This app is a security application is it not? There are 2 options for install, both an apk file as well as a flashable zip. Did you install the apk or flash the zip. As well did the developer of the app give special instructions on uninstalling? If the app is for locating a lost phone there may be a trick to the uninstall process.
Titanium backup should allow the removal if your phone is rooted.

For me, I use avast and they have a removal tool built into the app for the anti theft portion. After that's removed you can uninstall the antivirus portion like any other apk. I would definitely check within the app first to see if there's a removal tool.

Ah yes thank you for reminding me. Usually there is ab option in the app that let's you un install it normally but since I was having problems the Dev Gave me a custom apk to run (and now another one which is why I had to uninstall) and I did move it as a system app that's why. I was successfully able to remove through titanium backup. Idk why I didn't think of it before. Thanks guys! Btw I highly recommend this app for security purposes.

Hello xda i have a galaxy note running PA on king kangers kernal and when i want install anything it wont let me select install when the menu pops. This started happening after I flashed cwm and then flashing back to twrp because i didnt like cwm.. at first I thought it was that part of the screen that wasn't responding but it responds fine to any other finger press in the lower right corner... what's wrong?? Thanks in advance for help.

I run into that issue too off and on, I'm curious about the response too. I assume you're referring to side loads, do you get any issues trying to install anything from the market?

Drop the apk in /data/app and reboot.
Drop it there and then install reboot or other way around??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Just paste it in.
May wanna fix permissions in recovery after, but just pasting it there should install it.
So it should be in the app drawer upon booting up.
OK I'll try that

Depending on the app,/apk it may require placing it in system/app folder.

Also... depending on the app there may be an accompanying lib file that needs to go in /system/lib
Didn't work. tried a new app and a update for an app and didn't work.. any other ideas??

What app and what steps did you take?

Download a game from outside source. Moved to the data/app via folder manager. Rebooted into recovery, fixed permissions then rebooted again

I am not sure of this thread is within the rules of the forum anymore...
If it's paid apps you're trying to download and pirate, no further help will be given here.
No lol not pirated apps... no outside sources is letting me download...

It's your rom ....(which one are you using)?
I've had a few like that ....and you need a different browser.
Download boat browser from the play store....and install it.....or use dolphin browser as well.
Then use TIBU to freeze your default browser then reboot.
You should get downloads after that....if not ....you may need a different build....
If using a touchwiz based rom, this problem will occur on occasion.
Post back up with your results ...g
I'm using latest PA. I'll try what you said and post back..

I will try and help, I am only looking to buy an S4 but have a Verizon Xperia Play that bricked due to OTA while bootloader unlocked. It's fixed now but I ended up removing MOBILE CARE. Try and look for that and just delete Mobile Care. If it's not there sorry but I tried...
Yeah.. mobilecare easnt there...thanks though

If you have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 you can delete these two files ‘fota.client.apk’ and ‘fwupgrade.apk’ with root explorer in system/apps. While I don't recommend deleting applications it's better to freeze them with Titanium Backup. If you have installed an stock rooted odexed version, you can also include these two files ‘fotaclient.odex’ and ‘fwupgrade.odex’
Thanks...I dont want to delete. I have rom tool box so I can just freeze them.

So I went and did things the hard way (Asian Level Root).
Root was obviously a success, but now I can't get rid of 2 of 3 of the Chinese programs that got installed.
The only program I was able to get rid of was the Shuame market app.
Trying to remove/uninstall any other programs ( KingUser.apk and PinyinIME.apk, et al) via Titanium Backup just results in a screen depicting Andy on his back, front open, big red triangle on top of him.
The tablet does reboot by itself after a minute, but the programs remain.
I did reset the tablet to no effect.
Specs: HP Slate 7, Android 4.1.1, Kernel 3.0.8+, Rooted (obviously).
Where am I screwing up?
Thanks for any assistance.

Use any root explorer and navigate to /system/app and delete the apk of the chinese software.

Thanks. Hadn't thought of that. I was thinking along the lines of a setting I was missing that was preventing Titanium from performing as expected.

Hey everyone i need help please my phone (that hates me) has decided to not let me use the play store. Am running jb v20f stock firmware with root and cwm recovery. I didnt modify it at all and i got a gapps downloaded but theapk for the playstore doesnt help. Should i flash it instead? I might also have access to another phone that is the same as mine except with just root. Any ideas?

Hello Ashindigo
Have you installed Ad blocker on your device or any other mod to block ads? If yes, Then remove it and also remove hosts file from /system/etc/
(Don't forget to take a backup of hosts file before deleting it)
Ad-Blocker cause No Connection error to play store
The gapps HAS to be for JB 4.1.2. It has something to do with compatibility. For example, 4.2 gapps won't work. It gives a parsing error.

My friend had this problem with her Zeki tablet. It doesn't come with Play Store or the Google Services. I think my brother fixed it by using App Backup and Restore and moved the apks to system/app using root explorer. Not sure what he did after that.
I can upload the apks if you want. That's if you haven't restored yet.

Well, getting into fastboot is a good sign. If you don't see the inverted menu giving the option to unlock, then that's unofficial fastboot.
