[Q] Help remove app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was developing an app and had a prolem being able to update it. Without thinkin I deleted the app from /data/app/ and now the app will not install. I tried to delete any sign of the app in users folders. as well as app-lib. Is there anythig where else that may have part of the app in so I can remove it? Already tried clearing cache and devilk cache.

That shouldn't be the case. It could something to do with your apk file.

What error it shows in installing the app?
If you know the package name
You can do this via adb
Code:
adb uninstall packagename
Eg:
Code:
adb uninstall com.android.contacts

New rom? Bad rom flash ? Try install using emulator or ADB
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Have you tried installing through adb ? And what apps are you trying to install ?
Another thing to try is putting the app on your sdcard and moving it to /data/app with a file manager.
I've tried multiple roms same issue and I haven't tried adb can you explain how to do it through adb? First it's set cpu and the second is HTC calibration app

Maybe try fixing permissions and clearing cache In recovery, then try and install the apk
****'ll Buff Out
If a apk wasn't signed it won't install... You will have issue with things It won't show up on your phone.. You can try throwing it in the rom somewhere like the app section and you might get it to pop up and work. You can flash and turn of check for sig and it should install fine..

It's a security thing I think. I forgot the exact solution but I remember having the same problem and I searched and found a solution somewhere on the internet. I do remember deleting an app and the issue was fixed. I'll look and see if I can find the solution.
EDIT: FOUND IT!! You must diable screen filter and you'll be good to go.

[Q] Can't update Google Play Store ?

So I am running Cyanogenmod 10.1 and I want to manually update my Google Play store to 4.1.10 but every time I install the APK file I get ''Google play store could not be updated. Free up some space and try again'' Help??
Sounds like you don't have enough room in your system partition, cache could also be the culprit. Can you confirm you have enough room, and do you still have your market updater apk as the market should auto update.

I still have Market Updater and I have over 9 GB still in my internal storage
Internal storage differs from system partition and cache partition.
Try clearing market data and cache then open and close play store a few times

Still getting the same problem my play store is 3.10.14 if that helps
Can you confirm you have enough space in your system partition? Cache?
You can always just delete your current play store then push the new one in

After root and link2sd :when I install chrome "invalid package file"

I have t-mobile LG L9 p769
after I root, I linked the chrome,facebook,google+ to sd, using link2sd, (I linked apk,dat, and library files)
then the partition on SD went corrupt and had to reformat
now when I try to install Google chrome/facebook/Google Plus, in google play it tells me, invalid package file,
and yes I did clear the cache of play/google frame work but it didnt work for me any idea?
Install busybox. If that doesn't work then you might try hard reset.

I did a factory reset, and also installed busy box,
for some apps like facebook, i can now install, but for google play store it still says invalid package file or google play book
Unlink all apps then uninstall linked2sd. Reboot then reinstall the apps that aren't working.

How to fix Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped

Hella bros,
I bought Xperia z Ultra xl39h c6802 in china. Gapps were NOT installed when i open first time. AND İ downloaded gapps installer apk. I Setup gapps but when i reboot this Phone i getting These errors : google play has stopped, gmail has stopped, Com.google....apps has stopped.
I Deleted cache AND Data but this error still continue. China goverment blocking this apps.
Please heLP. Do i need root My Phone?
Thx u.
Did you set the right permissions? RW-R-R (644)
Sent from my Z Ultra, using XDA Premium 4
Where did you download this "gapps installer apk"?
Are you sure you got the right gapps for the right version of android?
Download them here
http://goo.im/gapps for Android 4.2.2, unzip the files and move them to the correct location with root explorer and set permissions as LordManhattan said
You do need to be rooted to install this because you need the framework and some other files to get things working. And I do not think the .apk file you downloaded can achieve root access by it self.

File commander is very limited and won't let you access any root folders. Root Explorer is the one I use but there are many. Navigate to the installed Google play apk, set permissions to rw-r-r. You'll understand more when you try it.

You must have root to modify system files, and in your case where you're trying to move a file into a system folder, you must have root.

Play store question.

I accidentally converted play store to a user app and it won't open when I tried to click on it. Reboored , cleared cache and data and switched it back to a system app and it still won't open. Is there anyway that I can get it to work again?

Which ROM you use doesn't matter
only having root access matters
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.traber.systemappsinstaller
Apk- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1778500&d=1362397533
install gplay as system app using it.

tell the procedure you following.
Uninstalled play store, downloaded a play store apk online, installed throughout system app and it won't work, installed it regularly and it worked but still won't open, installed it as a user so I changed it to system and still won't work.
