I've seen some people posting some of the problems I've been experiencing, and as of yet, with out any satisfactory solution.
This is what I do from Amon Ra's Recovery 1.2.3:
1. perform Nandroid Backup
2. backup apps on Ext to Fat32
3. Wipe my 2nd Ext...install another ROM
4. Restore apps from Fat32 back to Ext
Now all my apps will be present in the App Tray.
Some are available for use while some are not. The ones that are not will have a "whitish" icon with a "cog" on it, where the icon for the app used to be. From what I understand, this has to do with paid and non-paid apps. That's cool. Just re-install.
But the problem is, when I attempt to install "some of the whitish" apps, a notification on the screen says it's already installed. When I attempt to "uninstall some of the other whitish" apps, both the install and uninstall boxes are grayed out.
The other thing is this....when I go into settings>applications>manage applications...the same apps I want to uninstall aren't on the list to choose from. I have an uninstaller app and some are on there and some aren't. The ones that are on the list I don't have a problem uninstalling and re-installing.
An example is an app called "Cardar". It's on my home screen but doesn't show up on the manage application list or under the uninstall app. I have a few apps like that that I can't find. Pocket DJ Full is another.
One other issue I'm having is when I receive a call I'll get an option to force close the program the dialer utilizes. If I hit the green button to answer the call, I can accept the call, have my convo, then press the end button or press "force close". to hang up. My email is doing the same thing when I try to enter my account info. The messaging program that comes stock is doing the same thing.
Any ideas? Any solutions? Any and everything that has worked for all of you is welcome as a suggestion/solution to my problems.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate the assistance.
Since it sounds like you are having so many problems I would wipe the card and repartition it, wipe phone, and reflash the rom. It might be a ***** going back in and reinstalling your apps but at least you would know it's done properly.
Exactly what I was trying to avoid. Was trying to see if I could get replies to deal with the individual issues and I'd correct them one by one.
Quick question... if I do a factory reset will that wipe out my Amon Ra Recovery? As far as apps I have backed up to the Fat32. I know the Fat32 is on the SDcard but stranger things have happened when we dibble and dabble in this thing we call modding.

No it won't wipe out your recovery.
NO you will not loose your recovery.... As far as I've been seeing the Ra recovery is not fully wiping the ext ,been noticing a lot of people with the same issue ... re-partition your sd-card or just manually clear your ext from console by >
mount /system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd/*
this will clear all your apps off your ext... The trick is when you first sign in after a wipe wait for the sync , after open your market app go to downloads and all your apps will be there , they will say FREE (purchased apps are always there ) ,,, once you don't back out of that screen you have all your downloaded apps in one place for reinstall... its a pain I know ,but its the only way to really get a clean install ,as I don't like any of the backup apps .....
Hope this helps.,.,.,
how come no one ever suggested a fix_permissions for this, on ra's image it is the fix uid mismatches. sorry when i hear fc i automaticlly think try fixing permissions
hahaha I just saw your location grid. That ain't reverand like
again, you guys are thinking of priets, reverends are allowed to do whatever they want, we can get booty, lapdances and hookers
hey preme, you know where i am and i gotta say

Appreciate the help. The thing with the market (staying on that page to retain apps) I've known about. And I think that's the only way to really retain all your apps at this point in the game.
Did the fix permissions thing too. No dice.

my first post...long time lurker though.
try clearing your dalvik-cache too. from what I've read the 16GB cards don't take too well to partitioning, so that may be an issue as well (I've got one as well, partitioned and it lags a lot, considering just going back to a single partition). You could also trying to fsck your ext2 partition.

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] .
What rom are you running ???/
If its enomther's rom you need to delete the app from the expstick in system/sd <>>> Cause in additon to the system/sd/app he has system/sd/expstick/app also (I think its part of his VM system ) thats all i can think of ....

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.

Hey, I cannot find that folder on my sd card. I am assuming that it is hidden or something, could someone tell me how to find this folder and delete the useless apps?
/system/ is not /sdcard/
good point my man, could you let me know how access this?
never mind, i got it! hmmm double never mind, in astro it says error deleting files when i try and delete?
got it, i had to do some sniffing around other websites but i got it. Used terminal for those in my situation
I posted this as a reply to the original thread but haven't received a reply so wanted to start my own thread to see if someone could help me. Thanks.

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
Backup management (for Flashaholics)
Hi all,
The amount of questions on this forum that could have been avoided by proper backups is alarming.
I have been helping friends, family and coworkers with their phones for a while and what I have noticed is that many people have little or no idea of backup management. Some have backups of their contacts and pictures on 4 different cloud services which all auto upload their info burning lots of data and battery.
Others have little or no backups and get in trouble when flashing a ROM or dropping their phone in the toilet (yes that does actually happen folks)
Especially when flashing ROMs on your rooted device, it’s important to manage your backups in a logical way. In the description below I’ll explain how I manage my backups for apps, contacts, pictures, and full Nandroid backups in a logical way.
I am assuming the people reading this already have root and TRWP recovery on their phone. If that is not the case but you would like to have those, please follow the link to a great tutorial from zedomax on how to get those.
Contacts:
When storing contacts on your phone, you can choose were you want this contact to be stored. Make sure you always use the same account to store contacts so you won’t have them devided over 3 or 4 accounts. Personally I just choose my gmail account as this is the first thing you will install on any new phone.
Under settings /cloud you can see were your contacts and data is backed up manually or automatically. Make sure you check these settings so your device will backup regularly when on wifi.
If you do have your contacts shattered over several accounts now, then the contacts optimizer app can help you fix this. It can remove double contacts or merge them together. The app also makes it possible move contacts from one account to another, or to move all contacts between accounts (the pro version). Be aware of the fact that some pictures you have stored with your contacts can get lost during the transition.
Her the playstore link for the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compelson.optimizer
Pictures and video’s:
Same story here. Choose one cloud service to auto upload all you’re your media files. I have seen phones that had installed 4 cloud services, all of which would auto upload the pictures. Just choose one and stick to it.
Personally, I will auto upload my pictures and videos to dropbox but any service will do.
TWRP recovery
Please make sure you have the latest version of TWRP installed on your phone. For some ROMs it won’t make a difference but for others it does. For example CM12 official will not install on an old version of TWRP.
You can find the newest version for your device here:
http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/
Before flashing a new ROM ALWAYS make a full backup with TWRP. This way you are safe when something goes wrong. The backup will contain all your apps, but also your ROM and your recovery.
Make sure you give your ROM a name you can actually understand 3 months from now.
For example, when having flashed CM12 official without any apps or settings installed, you could call it:
CM12 official Fresh install
Or when having installed all your apps and put your settings in place:
CM12 official Full install
After flashing a ROM, I will run it, let the playstore do the updates and make a fresh backup. This way I can get back to the original installation quickly.
Be aware that when restoring a TRWP recovery, you will not only restore your apps but also your ROM. To have your apps separately you will need another tool.
Titanium Backup
Although there are many backup apps, and I have tried most of them titanium backup seems to be one that I keep returning to. It simply has the most options and I use it a lot.
Playstore link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Full You Tube tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZEa10WtFng
As storage space is no longer an issue, I make seperate backups for each ROM I use. This simply saves a lot of time updating apps from the playstore and decreases the amount of apps I have to reinstall when switching from say a Kitkat 4.4 to a Lollipop ROM.
By managing the backups in separate folders I can let titanium backup scan for the location of the backup folder, and pick the right one.
You do this by going to:
Menu,
Preferences,
Backup folder location
Detect (button)
Whole device
Titanium will find the folders and let you choose:
I usually call the Folders: TTBU and the first 2 letters of the ROM
In this picture you the folders for CM 12 and AllianceROM

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Storagespace:
With your note 4 it is possible to use a 128GB microSD card. All the files you can store on your SD will be unaffected when flashing a new ROM so use it for everything you want to keep available.
Another option is to copy all the needed files to your PC, whatever suits you best.
So do not worry about the storage on you phone!
Using this method I now have:
Contacts in 1 place
Pictures and media files in 1 place
Nandroid backups before and after with logical names
Titanium Backup (separate folder per ROM)
Whatever happens to my phone I can get it back to were I want it to be in under 10 minutes.
This saves you from a lot of asking for help on XDA developers.
I am curious to see how others manage their backups.
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.

So if I boot into TWRP and press mount then I get a list of available volumes:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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_next": "Next",

"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.

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!
