Can't uninstall modded play store - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed the modded playstore on my Stock Galaxy S4 ROM so I could disable self-updates, but it didn't work. When I went to uninstall the cracked play store launcher, it still said I had the cracked play store. I used TBP to restore the play store/google services framework to an older point and then I wiped the Delvik cache, but when I rebooted it said I still had the cracked version.
I have ClockworkMod recovery but I didn't do a nandroid backup before I installed the cracked play store, and I don't want to factory reset my phone. Any help?

I have Titanium Backup Pro. Could I use that to wipe the data and then download it online? Would that screw up anything since it's a system app?

Thanks! It worked, although it still says that there's a custom patch on my phone available for the playstore. But at least I have the uncracked version again.
Also for some reason my SideBar Plus app is freaking out now.

Errr...actually the play store isn't working now. It keeps saying it's stopped.

Plz try my method which was :

If this is the app you're talking about, I can't download it since it's on the play store.

from titanium uninstall google play

I don't have a Root Explorer app, and I do have Titanium BackUps, but only 2. Would all my settings/Xposed modules and so forth even be saved with that still?

just download any explorer app from net or xda search in xda app section there are a lot of them
there is something left behind from that crack causing this
by using an explore you can find that
try that am not sure about xposed so try the above and post

Searched and searched and found nothing. *Sigh*...I was afraid it would come to this. If I factory reset, how does my Titanium BackUp stay on with all my data? Is there anything else I should do before factory resetting?

titanium will backup all to a backup folder in sd card after resetting install titanium and restore
and using explorer copy all apps from data/app folder to sd card
incase titanium failes you will not need to download all from playstore

Do I remove my SD card before resetting? Or does factory reset ignore the SD card?

factory reset will ignore sd but be sure the backup created is in sd
reset will only format the data and system partition and reinstalls your firmware

Can't install titanium backup, not enough storage, use root explorer but can't find t

hi guys,,
I have a problem here...so here it is..
I wanted to install titanium backup but I could do it, it says I didn't have enough storage. Of course, I have more than enough. So, use root explorer, go to system/data/app/ and search for a file with titanium backup odex extension and want to delete it., but the strange thing is I can't find any titanium backup odex..
so what should I do?
Apps you install go to /data/app and there is no odex file. Thats only for system apps.

How do I remove Google Play Movies?

Hello,
I have tried removing as much bloatware as I could, I am using the rom Omega 16.1 which is great.
My only problem so far is I can't seem to remove Google Movie Plays. I tried titanium backup and root uninstaller, but it still won't uninstall this app.
Any ideas on how to fully remove it?
Thanks!

Device Status: Modified

Hi guys, need a bit of help.
I have rooted my phone previously but did not like it so I flashed the stock rom with Odin. This left my device status as modified. Since it is modified I cannot get software updates.
Recently, I had to flash jellybean for my phone as it would not update ota or through kies. Now when pressing check for update in settings, it sais "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available".
Is there anyway to change the device status back to normal without wiping data? If not, how can I backup all my data so it can be restored? Samsung kies crashes when trying to backup apps and I'm not sure if mobile go backs up app data.
I am using the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S3, if that helps.
Thanks in advance

Root again, and run triangle away, then flash stock again via Odin and wipe data from recovery.
This removes all evidence of root and you will be completely stock with a binary counter of 0.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did run triangle away before when my phone was rooted.
How do I wipe data from recovery?
Will it wipe all my user data?

Far simpler to join xda users and flash a stock rom via CHECKFUS .

The problem is that I have no proper way to backup my data so I can restore it after I wipe data (mainly app data as other data backs up in kies)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
XDA Developers way .
root phone then backup via recovery .
Backup EFS folder
Purchase Titanium backup pro from the market and backup apps .
Also backup your contacts and any MP3 /Video can be copied to PC .
Download and save original firmware via Checkfus .
Update by flashing any stock rom or custom rom .

Thanks for that, looks really helpful.
Just a quick question I didn't find an answer to there. When restoring data with titanium backup, do I still need to be rooted? I understand that backing up requires root though.

Dude, i dont know if sdk is a good/easy option. But try Nandroid Backup on play store.
But the problem is that all these apps from the play store that backup your device require root and I want my phone unrooted after restoring it. Those apps do require root to restore data right? If not then I am willing to use them.

i've used very simple method.
1) connect usb to pc - then select internal memory copy to sd card.
2) for some data will not show any items if connect via usb.But you still can move via file manager such as "solid explorer".Just select file and copy to sd card.It might take a little bit longer.
..i'm already done more than 20 times chg status modified to normal.Just ensure you use proper step as adviced by Xda senior..

So when restoring data do you just copy it back onto the phone?

Hi guys, I've left this topic off for a while but I'm back with new questions.
I have now found Holo Backup (Simple ADB Backup) to backup my phone without any rooting or complicated stuff. I wanna know that if I backup my device with its device status modified, will it still show modified when I restore it?
Also has anyone with an S3 successfully backed up and restored their phone using holo backup and if so what was the size of backup file. When I tried mine it came up with a file slightly over 1gb which doesn't seem right seeing as I have about 10gb internal data and 10gb of data on my micro sd.
Thanks in advance

Use Framaroot to root your phone (!!with SuperSU!!) after reflasing, use Titanium Backup to restore the apps and systemapp-data....
After you did it, go to SuperSU, go to settings and tap on Unroot.... Your device state will be NORMAL after that!
