Have you tried cleaning the app data of download manager?
Or did you disable system apps?

Yeah I cleared the data from my download manager but whav do you mean by disable system apps?
i used to remove or disable every app which i considered useless for how i use my phone
so i eventually disabled "Downloads" because i thought i only download things but don't want the app to show up in my app drawer as "Downlaod Manager" takes care of downloading stuff
does downloading apps via play store work for you?

Yes I can download apps just not anything else.
I have had the same problem once myself
But I just can't figure out at the moment how I solved it
You could try things that usually fix some issues like
- Wiping cache and dalvik cache
- Trying a different browser
Do you have root? Or are you just a 'regular' user?
Are you using apps like android firewall? Or have you restricted some apps' permissions?

Hi guys,
I've downloaded and installed an app from the market.
I don't like it, so I remove it.
I install a new ROM and then restore all my settings using my google account, and the app is re-installed as it is listed in the MY APPS section of Market.
My question is, how I can remove this app from this list in MY APPS to avoid the app getting auto-installed?
Cheers chaps

Click on Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications.
Than select the App you want to Un-Install and click on it than click uninstall.
Uninstalling the apps is not a problem
I want to remove them from the MY APPS section in the Market

Anyone else had problems with downloading form the market? When I try to download something, it starts and disappears from the notification bar before it starts to show the percentage done.

Open titanium backup and see if there is any application related to market frozen? If you find frozen app, just defrost it. Also clear the market cache.

I had the problem for a long time. Got the new market and it would actually give me an error message, about insufficient storage.
Info in settings clearly said I had enough, but still constant fails.
Eventually installed link2sd, used it on some apps problem solved.

try this --> wipe data of Market using Titanium backup. You will need to login again in market.
Check if your Google talk is working or not. I came across the same problem and I was advised to log out of gtalk and log in again. That didn't help me. I just flashed the rom over the existing rom. You can also flash gapps if you are on custom rom

Best way is flash Gapps again. It will resolve this issue permanently.
Once in a while, an app gets corrupted such that trying to access it in the apps manager crashes the apps manager - thus, it can't be uninstalled normally.
I've noticed that sometimes when this happens, the name of the app in the apps manager changes as well (from the friendly name to the internal one - like com.developername.appname).
What's the best way to uninstall a corrupted app like this? Is there a good app to handle situations like this, or is it best to do it by hand - in which case, what's the procedure?
Is it just a matter of deleting anything that seems related in /data/app, /data/app-private, and /data/data?
What kind's of app crashes? If it is a system app then sometimes a Factory Reset could solve the problem, but not for good. Are you rooted? If you are rooted you could flash a new ROM. Sometimes stock ROM's aren't always the most stable. If you are not rooted then I would try to get root. Hope this helps
Oh, we're not talking about anything catastrophic that would require flashing a new ROM. Just regular misbehaving user-installed apps.
What's the best way to deal with those?

Guess you didn't read the first post.
The point was that these were corrupted apps, and going into them from the apps manager would crash the apps manager.
If u can see the app in app manager, then first clear the data, then uninstall it. If that does work, clear the data again, power cycle the phone, then uninstall it.

My bad, I missed that . Yes, you could delete them from /data/app/ (and check if their folder still exists in /data/data/. If so, delete that too).
Or you could use Titanium Backup

When I had this happen, I could see the app in the list of apps, but as soon as I tried to go into it, that's when the app manager would crash.

I tried. It seemed to freeze Titanium Backup. Although the item dissappeared from the apps list once I force quit titanium Backup, I don't actually know if it was properly uninstalled.
In case it happens again, I just wanted to know the best way to handle it.
1.Clear data and cache of Google services framework and play store. Reboot.
Or
2. Remove play store updates.
Or
3. Remove and reenter gmail account
Or
4. Install an older version of play store. If it is installed as a user app the convert it to a system app with the system/app/mover.

You can use titanium to move apps to system and v.v.......an app that has a solid reputation and comes from the playstore.
No offence OP, just making a relevant point
i have had lot of weird problems with play store while running aosp roms sometimes rebooting or reflashing helps but anyway havent had problems on stock rom

Okay, so I was visiting some illicit sites looking for hacking tools and what not to put on my Android phone to use to learn about network security. Unfortunately I ended up getting hijacked by a randsomware virus. To be specific, the PornDroid virus. I have been able to get my phone into safe mode, however I am not able to remove admin from the offending app in order to uninstall it! It has done something making it impossible to remove admin from it! When I attempt to deactivate the admin privileges I get an error message "operation is forbidden! System application can't be deleted." from the package installer.
What do I do at this point short of factory restore? I spent many hours fine tuning all of my settings and would really rather not have to do that again, lol.
Is your phone rooted. If yes then you can download system app remover from playstore as this app can remove system apps and remove your virus app too.But it need root access.
Hope it helps:thumbup:

Unfortunately, no, this particular software has been a PITA to get to root. None of the one-clicks work, and it has a non standard firmware that does not allow booting into download mode. If I could figure out what files the stupid thing needs to run, might there be some key file I could delete to disable it at least? I do have a file manager I can access in safe mode if so.
Tell me the name of that virus apk bro.

I can't. I looked for it folder by folder and there are no foreign apks. My assumption is that at the end of the install it may have deleted itself? This seems to be a very sophisticated version of this virus. There are tuts out there on how to get rid of it, but this variety seems to have really locked itself down.
The only thing that will get rid of it is formatting all the partitions and refreshing stock firmware. If it is as deep as you say then even a factory restore won't get rid of it.
Is that app still installed and appear on your device.if yes then tell me its name which it display

Try reading before posting.
I have one suggestion for you if you can root your device then root as after rooting you can only remove system apps or viruses and if you cant even tell name of that virus app then sorry I cant help you.

Once again try reading before posting. The OP already stated that he doesnt know and cant find the apk name. So there is no deleting the apk. It has most likley hidden itself into one of the system files.
Only option will be to format and reflash
Then sorry I cant help.

Well, I did a reset. Thanks for the suggestions.
