At first, whenever I started an application that uses the camera, it force closed. Now, it reboots the phone! I just switched over to the newest stable cyanogen's rom, and the problem remains the same. I wiped before installing. I tried formatting my sd card, but nothing. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Tried it, camera still force closes. What is dalvik cache? Would re-installing the camera application solve the problem, and if so, how do I do it?

grab the camera.apk out of your rom and use this in the recovery console with the .apk on the root of your sdcard
Code:
mount system
mount sdcard
cp /sdcard/Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk
(or use mv is cp doesn't work)
reboot
thats how you reintsall system apps
here is the Camera.apk from 4.1.11.1 just remove the .zip extension

I did as you said, and downloaded the file you attached, opened the recovery menu, hit alt-x, and typed in the code. It seems like it un-installed my camera, as both the Camera and Camcorder applications are missing from my application menu. Can I install the Camera.apk using Astro?

you should be able to if you are missing the camera.apk now.
Tried installing with Astro and got message "Camera could not be installed on this phone."

open up terminal emulator and type this

then look in the output and see if there is a Camera.apk in it.

Well the Camera.apk you posted is 421kb, but the Camera.apk from my rom was 590kb. Tried installing the Camera.apk from my rom with Astro, and it installed succesfully, but when I started the application, force close!

if you have the app log collector or have adb then either get a log with the app or run adb logcat dso you can get a log of it f/c'ing then post it in the thread and say that you have tried reinstallling the app and it is still f/c'ing sorry i don't know what else to do then.

Hmm, hope it isn't a hardware issue. I have the app "Log Collector," but how do I use it?
Make the camera force close. Run the app and select email. Then email yourself a copy and post it

I ran the camera app, and it force closed. I then ran the log collector, and emailed me a copy to my gmail account. I checked my mail, and it was there. But when I opened the message, it was blank. Did I do something wrong?
I installed this program "Bar Control", which makes shortcuts to applications in your notification bar, and when you start the program, it shows a list of applications that you can make a shortcut to. The thing that interested me is that it lists my camera application 4 times. Maybe, just maybe I have 4 camera applications installed, an maybe that is why my camera does not work. So how do I un-install a system app?

If you want to know how many camera.apk's are in /system/app then do in the terminal emulator
ls /system/app
Then scroll through the results to see how many camrea.apk's it lists.
To delete a system app do this in the recovery console
mount system
rm /system/app/appname.apk
Why don't you just use snapphoto its a really good app that I use as a substitute to my camera app. Try it although it you check what's been using your battery it'll say snapphoto as a lot when I turned it off. Can't seem how to fix.

I can't all of the apps that try to access the camera in any way force close.
I typed in "/system/app" in the terminal emulator, but it says "permission denied." Even if I type in "su" before, it says the same thing. What did I do wrong?
by the way, I am now running JacxRom.
what do you mean you typed in /system/app in terminal? what command were you trying to use. also if no camera app works then it could be something wrong with you camera itself.

Hello all, after some problems with app2sd i reinstalled my apps via a simply backup of my apk files in system/sd/app.
Anyway I was unable to restore some apps, in particular those that had a .zip extension and not an .apk extension. The problem is that Market/Download controls in such situation are disabled, so i can't uninstall/reinstall nothing.
Waiting some days for the upgrade of each app, i was able to restore all apps meno one. The application is the free SunMoon (com.jw.SunMoon).
I 've tried to:
sign com.jw.SunMoon.zip to try a reinstall but adb install com.jw.SunMoon.apk returns Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
delete /system/sd/app/com.jw.SunMoon.zip
delete the directory /data/data/com.jw.SunMoon
edit /data/system/packages.xml removing all entry for com.jw.SunMoon
But nothing changed, i'm unable to reinstall SunMoon via Market so far.
Any ideas????
adb uninstall?
Delete the apps you having problems with, then reinstall them. You can use SUFB app from the market or rootexplorer also from the market...

I already delete manually app, dex, odex, data app and any pointers in /data/system/packages.xml.
Anyway the Market app continues to be blocked, i can't uninstall, install or reinstall SunMoon. The only one thing that unblock the market app is an application upgrade, so i can push the upgrade button and install a new copy.
I don't know how to eventually use the com.jw.SunMoon.zip i backupped from /system/sd/app, android tell me it's unsigned (Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]), but trying to sign and install, will return Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT] .

The app do not installs in /app-private (/data/app-private; /system/sd/app-private) , I'm sure.
Anyone know if i forgot some configurations file to edit?
Anyone knows if the problem is on the market server?
Why some apps installs like a .zip file?
I'm having this exact same issue, and it's happened to me every time I use Backup for Root Users. If I restore just the APKs, nothing ending in .zip gets restored. If I also restore the Market db (so I can get updates), I get the same thing you got, with disabled Open and Uninstall buttons in the Market. I know I have no references to any of the apps anywheres. Specifically, I'm trying to restore Twidgit Lite. Anybody have any answers?
Just in case anyone's curious, I fixed the problem. Copy /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db to my computer, then open it with a sqlite client. Search in the assets10 table for the row where package_name matches one of the previously mentioned problem applications, then update the row by changing the state field to 'UNINSTALLED'. Push the assets.db file back to its original location, and either reboot or force close the Market app (using Taskiller or what have you). When you reopen Market, the problem apps will now allow installation.

Thx man! Very useful, sometimes private apps bring a lot of problems.
hold on, i was about to make a thread asking how to uninstall apps like amazon mp3 or the stock calculator. Is this how you do it or is there an easier method?
No, the stock apps are in /system/app, just delete the apk and your set.

I'd check your A2SD was actually working It might be installing as a system app, I'm not sure, and I don't know if your system apps are in sd\app_s or in system\app.

There's your problem. Uninstall Goggles and try installing it again from the Market. If you get the same error, do this:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
rm -rf /data/data/com.google.android.apps.unveil
and then try installing it again.

Can't say for sure, but somehow the permissions on that folder were different from what the app required. This can sometimes happen if you originally install the app manually (e.g. downloaded the APK from somewhere) instead of directly from the Market.
I search apk file (goggles v1.0.1)
This happens to me every once in a while. I usually just reboot and try the install again, and it works.

well i didn't, but i did try to uninstall Amazon MP3 manually (via SU File Management System) - i might have hit the wrong file and messed up the permissions folders...

Hey all,
I actually found out about this method on another forum but it linked to this thread.
I did the steps outlined, installed titanium, superuser, busybox and it appears I have root access for some folders and some apps, but not all.
I have a sprint hero, FW 2.1.1, SW 2.27.651.6. Not sure I want to install a custom ROM just yet, but my motive for rooting is to get rid of the stock sprint junk. I've tried to remove them from settings, applications, manage, but there is no uninstall. I also tried from astro, but permissions won't let me delete the apk files. Is there another way to remove these apps?
I'm new to android/linux, so don't really understand all the adk stuff, which is why when researching I picked the easy copy zip and run version.
Also, when I tried to do OTA updates, it says it's installling, reboots, but goes into the recovery program, and I don't know which option I should choose. If I go with the reboot, phone loads like normal, but doesn't show the update.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

If you want to uninstall the bloatware use titanium backup's uninstall option. You'll know if you're rooted if/when you get the Superuser Request popup asking you to accept or deny super user permissions for whatever app you're trying to run.

Sounds like you need to change permissions on the system/app folder. Here is how it is done...
Type in these commands in Terminal Emulator if you don't get ADB. Be sure you're rooted first
$ su
$ mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
All,
Since 6.0, Google has made a change to the N6 to not allow any modifications to the system partition. This is a bit frustrating as there is only 16MB left on system partition. There are some apps I would like to remove from my phone (G+, various language apks, google newstand, google play games) in order to increase the system partition. I have tried Titanium Backup without any success.
Has anyone else tried removing apps via recovery?
Flash or boot TWRP, then mount system and wreak havoc. Happy massacre.
istperson, can you expand on that a bit please? I've always used TiBU to freeze bloatware (Games, Pinyin, Korean Input, blah, blah, blah), but if I could usefully just delete them that would be a bonus.
Do you mean just go into TWRP and delete them? Is there any reason that this wouldn't work in, for example, Root Explorer or Solid Explorer? Why recovery in particular? Because you're outside the OS?

Is this on stock ROM only? If I flash cm13 will I have this problem? Or is this 6.0 in general. I'm sorry I'm flashing a friends phone on a few days and am attempting to learn this device fast.

Can't you uninstall directly from TiBu?
Well, there's an "uninstall" button that I've never tried... - thanks for the reminder.
I was just wondering about the technical side. If the OS is active, as it is if I use the TiBU method, does it do everything that istperson's TWRP suggestion would do outside the OS?
Maybe I'll have a go at TiBU to see if it actually does free up space.

I routinely remove docs, sheets, and slides when I install an update which opens up ~200mb for things and they're all conveniently located close to eachother alphabetically in /system/app/Editordocs, editorsheets, editorslides. Just go into the file manager in TWRP after mounting /system and click into the folders hit select and then delete for all 3. Tada easy. language keyboards like pinyinIME, JapaneseInput, HindiIME are located in the same location along with Newsstand, G+ is called PlusOne, PlayGames etc.
As for zip/script to do it idk what to tell you, not my forte.
TiBup pretty much does/did the exact same thing as above not sure if it only removed the apk's or whether it just took out the whole folder. I do know it would never put the apps back the way they were and they almost never worked if you tried restoring them.

In Marshmallow you need a permissive kernel to remount system as rw when Android is running, and everything goes in the direction to disable this. And I think this is a good thing, because with all the news of malware form Google Play, that you can acquire in an official way, imagine what they can do with permissive kernels.
So it's the best if we accept, that we can only modify system by flashing it from fastboot, or by mounting it in custom recovery.

If you could please elaborate, in which way did this manifest exactly?
Strange, that. After reading your post, istperson (thank you) I thought I'd go in and destroy my N10 by running amok in TWRP. I did press "Mount" and got a screen which offered me very little, certainly not a list of directories. It looked pretty much like a display (i.e. non-update) screen with nothing interactive except "Return". In the end I just went into Advanced/File Manager and created havoc in there, deleting useless keyboards, Docs, Sheets, etc., so far with no apparent ill effect.

After ticking 'system', in file manager then it appears in the folder list, and entering it, there are the apps:
Ah, I think I see... I guess you mean that if I don't tick "system" then when I go into File Manager the system partition isn't available?
I was thinking more along the lines of "Tick system, it will immediately display the system partition", whereas what you mean is "Tick system, return, go to File Manager, edit system" - right? That's actually what I did, so thanks for that pointer.
Why OnePlus? Why?
Anyway, if you want to remove the pre-installed Netflix crap, here's the app locations :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Obviously you'll need root access as the items are in the system folder.
Just use a root browser (I used root explorer) to change the permissions to 777 (full access for all) to all of those entries, remember to enable it for sub-folder and items on the folders too, then you should be able to delete them.
Stop it OnePlus, naughty.
I jist disable it in App detail and it basically no longer "exists". Its what I do to all stock apps. It is nice OnePlus allows disabling of all nonessential apps. Unlike Samsung or LG.
flash from h2os (china version, a lot of junk app) to oxygen 9.5.4 EU, no netflix integrated.
I've been using this for a long time. It's always worked well for me

Always comes in handy when flashing new roms
Same here, been using System app remover on my last few devices. It also back's the removed apps to Internal storage...
Still better. Use 'Debloater' module from Magisk repository. (requires BusyBox installed).
Works like a charm.
I use SD Maid Pro to delete apps entirely
Agree that debloater from magisk is good. You can delete in multiples and scan throughout your phone.

Sorry to revive an old post but I am using Debloater with busybox installed. When I uninstall Netflix it finishes as expected but doesn't actually uninstall. It even shows under "restore uninstalled apps".

Try booting to TWRP, mount system, open Advanced tab, use file manager within TWRP, navigate to /system/product/app/, delete the netflix-stub and Netflix-activation packages, then unmount system through TWRP, finally reboot system.

I tried to do this same process for deleting Gmail and it didn't work. Gmail was still there when I booted up. Just an FYI. I can't seem to delete Gmail from system apps. Everyone has theories but no one can seem to delete it. I'm rooted by the way.

You've navigated to this directory within twrp, deleted the Gmail2 folder, and the Gmail app is still in your app tray? If so, maybe you can uninstall as you would a regular user app at that point.

Oh man, I feel so stupid. I didn't even think of uninstalling Gmail like a regular user app. Amazing! Thank you! That worked!
