I just removed Twitter via ADB and the entire process went by smoothly, like always. Problem is, Twitter is still installed on my phone. It still works and all but it says I removed it.
I can't uninstall via Titanium Backup or any other way because it says the APK can't be found. When I look for apps on my phone using "adb shell ls -1 /system/app/"
Twitter isn't on that list anymore and when I just try to remove via ADB anyway, it says file can't be found..
What's up? lol
push the file back to your phone in ADB then try to uninstall with TI. I had that happen with latitude before, it was pretty annoying.
If you go to the market does it say installed when you search for it?

Thanks for the tip. It said it wasn't installed on the market so I re-downloaded it and un-installed it with TI. Thanks!
you're welcome, glad i could help!

I installed facebook from the market and now it won't uninstall. I am using Cyanogen 4.2.5 and the Nabzihero 2.8 theme on a MT3G.
So, a little back story. I installed the theme a week ago. I noticed the the sterricson lock screen conflicted with SMS popup, so I decided to change back to the stock theme. I went and reflashed the rom and when I did android said that Facebook wasn't installed, but he market says it is.
I rolled back to my latest nandroid backup and the app works again, but it won't let me uninstall it. Neither through the market or the application screen in settings. I'm at a loss as to how to get the app off my phone. I'm sure there's a way through the terminal, but I don't know how.
ok, so first, sometimes the market and android conflict - now depending on your nandroid, did the rom have facebook app included? if so, this will be why you cant update/remove and why market says its there -
some roms have it included thus it is located in /system/app which will not allow you to delete it through the app manager.
plug your phone into your computer and do the following from terminal/command prompt
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/Facebook.apk
then, reboot and you will be able to install facebook from the market

This helps out a lot. It turns out that the theme I had installed did have facebook in it. That's fixed it, though. Thanks a bunch!

just tried to load & install newest update of google goggles - install failed "insufficient storage available"....
running CM 4.2.9.1.....
does that mean google goggles "tries" to install itself into internal storage?
does that mean google found a way to circumvent apps2sd?
wtf

I didn't have any issues installing it. It didn't install on my G1's internal storage which currently has 79.52MB available.

weird...
just to check what is going on (whether something really wrong on my side), i installed another app (backgrounds), and the installation went fine.
another person in the market comments reported the same issue

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.

it gets more weird... i just checked.
even if google goggles wants to install itself into the internal phone storage, there is still 59.73MB free...
i don't get it
question:
did you all try to install the latest update?
I use CM 4.2.9.1 as well and did not have any problems upgrading to Goggles 1.0.1.
Does "adb logcat" report anything interesting?

... that's the first time this happened to me
did a complete reinstall of CM ROM, etc., but still the same problem.
weird
next CM update i will wipe then it may work.
I search the file .apk (goggles 1.0.1). Thanks
I had this issue onCM4.2.9.1 as well but got around it by uninstalling 1.0.0 and installing 1.0.1. It didn't use any internal memory either.

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...
anyway, it works now
thanks
other people running 4.2.9.1 are seeing the same thing. it isn't google's app.
i am really new to this and have my phone on kernel 2.6.33.2-cyanogenmod cyanogenmod-5.0.6-n1 build epe54b as of last night and dont know about these commands i see on google. i tried something called terminal but i am really lost on using it. it gives me a denied permission. i might be using it wrong but i dont know if it is what i should use to uninstall these. any help?
you can use Titanium backup to delete the apps...download it from the market and then open the app, go into backup/restore tab, and click on whatever app you want to remove and just un-install
hope this helps
thanks i just loaded that and when i clicked the backup/restore tab nothing shows up...
i think when you first open up Titanium backup, it tells you to hit "Problem" so the busybox can be downloaded and then the app needs to be restarted
so try that first, open the app, click on problem, then it will download something, then restart the app
i have but still no apps. i uninstalled and disablled apps2sd and reinstalling both apps and that worked! thanks for recommending the apps and the replies!!!
Hi guys,
I rooted my phone yesterday. This all went very well, the icon in my programlist is there but now...
I tried to remove some preinstalled programs with (an older version of) Root Explorer. When I push the button ' remount as R/W' nothing happends. So now I still can't remove any program from my phone?
Who has got the solution?!
Thanks!

If you don't have a current licensed version of root explorer, it may not work.
You could try Titanium. I use that to both delete apps and freeze them. On stock ROM, I generally only freeze them so OTA updates will still come through.
Try this app, works for me
Root Uninstaller
I can remove every app I want with Titanium Backup
Enable USB Debug mode
you can also freeze apps via adb.
just do
adb shell
pm list packages
pm disable com.app.App
where com.app.app is the program you'd like to disable
Hi guys,
I just rooted my new phone using this method -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
Everything went smoothly so after that I decided to uninstall some sony bloatware I have no use for, such as Albums and what not. After doing so though, I noticed the icons are still in the app drawer, is there a way to actually remove them from there? Or hide them or something?
Cheers!
If the icons are still there, you did not uninstall them.
Because I DID uninstall them (via Titanium) and they disappeared right after the operation completed. Maybe you should just restart the launcher (soft reboot).

That's odd then. Because whenever I uninstall one of Sony's apps with Titanium, if I reboot the phone it shows up again in the list as if I did nothing... I've got the PRO version of course. I don't understand what's happening here, root is fully working though.
If I freeze the apps they do disappear. I don't get it :s
Just did a quick test.
Unfroze the app "Album" and wiped cache and data. Uninstalled in Titanium. It shows successful. Rebooted the phone, go into Titanium, it shows it's there installed.... What the hell?
I never had any kind of issue like this with other android devices.
You probably did not go to the root process correctly and the /system is mounted as RO instead of RW.
Did you flashed NUT's dual recovery? And also this:
hi , if you cant ger xposed to work and titanium back up . please go to giefroot folder > files , then open ''cmd'' by holding shift + right click and then copy/paste these following codes one after another.
adb push systemrw.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push modulecrcpatch /data/local/tmp
adb push wp_mod.ko /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/systemrw.sh
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/modulecrcpatch
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/wp_mod.ko
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./systemrw.sh
i hope it helps , goodluck

I did. I followed the link at my original post. Followed everything and everything went successfully. Titanium has root permissions, it's just the uninstalling of certain Sony apps that are always coming back to life.
What apps are doing this?
Just tried to copy paste a file onto system and indeed it doesn't work. It's mounted as RO apparently. I'm going to try the fix from the first link.

Album, Video Unlimited, Sony Select, all the xperia bloatware
I have tons of bloatware removed, but I tested Sony Select now. Uninstall via TB PRO, reboot, check. App's gone from launcher, TB and system.
I am pretty sure, that your /system partition is not mounted as writable.

You're absolutely right. Apparently it's a not so rare issue, I tried to flash a fix from the OP from the thread I posted and it did nothing
Really don't know what to do next
