Hi
I have a rooted xperia ray phone with the stock rom.
I have one ghost system application in the applications list(all applications tab).
They cannot be uninstalled from the applications menu the only available actions are force close and activate/deactivate.
I deleted the apks from system/app and data.app and all the entries from the dalvik cache.
The application still appears in the list.
Does anyone know how I can make it go away?
Thanks

Try re-installing the rom (make sure you do a full wipe of data and cache).

It's just said (for that rom) that a re-installation can fix certain problems. You don't need any other program to see installed apps. Just go into settings/applications/manage applications.

Yes. The only things left are stuff on your SD card and on your SIM card (like contacts). But remember you can backup your apps and data first using Titanium Backup, which you can then restore after you wipe and flash.
hello, recently every few day in my gallery, the phone decides to duplicate every picture and video but as a corrupt file, which is unusable.
any ideas why this is happening?
the only way to solve it so far is to keep unmounting and mounting the sd card to get them to disapear again.
thanks in advance

U can also wipe cache and dalvik cache through recovery ( and no this won't delete ur data too )

Sorry about that.
-Goto your picture folders using a file manager, enable hidden folders
-delete .thumbnails folder, everyone of them, even in sub-folders
-Goto Settings - Apps -All - Media storage, clear data.
-Reboot phone to recovery
-wipe cache
-reboot phone.
Note:
-always try to properly unmount/safely remove your phone, after connecting to pc, when necessary.
-You can also scan your external SD for errors in your Pc.

I don't have hidden folders with miniatures, but when I reboot the device, it keeps duplicating the files. If I clear the media storage app and reboot, gallery shows the right files, no duplicates. But if I reboot again and don't clear media storage, when the system starts I will have duplicate media files, so it's not a permanent fix. Is there another way that I could solve this?
I'm using RootBox 1.8 with Siyah 4.1.4.
if i uninstall an app that i downloaded from the market, will that delete it's stored date / cache aswell? ... or do i have to do that manually.

Cache is built up rebuilt at every boot.. So don't worry about.. Sometime an app stores data on your sdcard.. Which is not deleted when you uninstall an app.. You will have to manually delete that data.. Everything else is taken care of by the OS

Hello,
I wanted to install that MMS mod fix and now my SMS/MMS app is ****ed up, everytime I open it, it won't start and crashes right after. I'm running stock 4.1.1 DLIH. Does anyone have the stock SMS/MMS files that could fix it ?
Here's a link to the zip I've installed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33367197&postcount=45
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
1. Have you uninstalled the apk mod?
2. Have you tried a full wipe?
3. In case nothing works, try to flash the stock rom again via odin
Cheers
Hey, thanks for your time.
1) How can I uninstall the APK (I'm noob in Android, I come from Windows Phone..) ?
2) If I do a wipe, will I lose everything ? And to proceed, do I have to enter CWM then "do a wipe/cache" ?
3) I'll do that if nothing can fix it.
Thanks for your help.

If you do a data wipe, you will lose everything. Let's try just the wipe cache and wipe dalvik, don't do the data wipe to preserve your apps and configs. If I doesn't work, try the data/cache/dalvik wipe. You are right, just enter on CWM to perform cache and dalvik wipe.
3) I'll do that if nothing can fix it.

Yes, lets hope for the best, maybe it wont be necessary. Good luck! If you need help on step 3, just say it.
Just checked and the APK isn't in the list. There is no way to have a *.zip with the stock files I could install to fix my problem ?

hum... Unfortunately I don't know the answer for this. You can try a search on xda forum and google.
I would try a search, if no success, I would try step 2 (wipe cache and dalvik) and if nothing works, step 3.
Good luck!

This mod is probably made for deodexed rom
You run a rooted stock rom which is probably odex
So:
-use root explorer (or similar app) and move secmms.odex file from /system/app to your SDcard (internal or external) as backup
-restart in CWM
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-restart your phone
-check if you still have your issue

Happened to me once: the app disappeared from dock
Check if the app is still in the app drawer.
If it is still there, then just move it back to dock

Problem solved thanks to Mopral who managed to extract SecMMS.apk and SecMMS.odex from a stock DDLIH and send them to me.
I often get this error when trying to update or install apps.
I have 129 MB free under Settings/Apps/Downloaded.

I had the same error and it has been around for a while....and there are many reported fixes and they all are reported to work at least some of the time...hopefully it will fix before you reach solution 5:
1. Clear the cache for google play and google services (didn't work for me)
2. Clear cache and dalvik cache from Recovery (didn't work for me).
3. Delete your google account, then clear cache and dalvik cache from Recovery (worked for me!)
4a. Reflash the ROM, reinstall gapps, clear cache and dalvik cache.
4b. Restore a nandroid back up from when Update and Install were working
5. Factory reset and reinstall everything.
6. Can I interest you in a shiny new device......
Almost forgot....If you are using something one of the app2sd apps that has it's own partition on your sdcard you need to make sure that there is still room in that partition.

Did you checked, I have deodexed but Lucky Patcher can create odex file in data/app, so some other ap maybe create it.
