I have used Root Manager to remove some of the stock apps on the HTC Hero. (facebook, stocks, footprints etc)
When i go to applications I am now getting these showing up after reboot.
-.com.facebook.katana
-.com.amazon.mp3
-.htc.android.footprints
- etc.......
If I click on any, it gives a force close.
I removed both the adk, and odex files...Which would be from /system/app/...
Do I need to remove the data folders? /data/data/ folders? (.data/data/com.facebook.katana)
Try Wipe - Cache and Dalvik Cache...
How can I manually clear Dalvik Cache?

I am assuming that you have Recovery on your phone, boot into the recovery and that should have options that will help you do that...

yea I was trying to update my facebook app in the market, but it wouldn't update. so I thought it was my custom rom. I backed up the apk in titanium backup and uninstalled it (i know i'm an idiot). I then went back to market, but facebook still won't install. and titanium didn't backup facebook.apk properly. Now I don't have a facebook app.. any help would be appreciated, such as givingme the file.
You have custom ROM, right?
Download it again, if you don't have it, and extract the Facebook app from there (/system/app).
In the meantime, reboot to recovery, wipe Dalvik-cache, and boot the phone. Try installing Facebook after that.
Alright, i'm downloading the rom again right now. Will wiping Dalvic Cache remove any of my data or mess anything else up?
Wiping Dalvik cache won't mess you up.
Did you reboot after removing Facebook with Titanium Backup? If you don't, installation will fail from the market.
proper steps are:
Remove Facebook from system/app
reboot
Install from market
This will work with any system app that your ROM might have updated in the market
It says application not installed. I just tried the apk from the rom. I havent cleared dalvik cache yet... what do i do?
Edit: No, I didn't reboot, trying it now.
Before rebooting, the system still "remembers" that the app was there. You need to reboot to clean the "remains".
Clearing Dalvik-cache might also help. It doesn't mess up the data, since the cache is rebuilt on boot. It just slows down the 1st boot after it.
I just went through the same procedure with Terminal Emulator on friend's Nexus today (only that I removed the app manually, thus I needed to clear Dalvik cache entry and remove data directory by myself - I believe that if you used Titanium, it did that for you).
Thank you so much! Rebooting fixed the problem, installed from market perfectly.
Happy to help, glad you're back in business.
i was wondering everytime i uninstall a program the internal memory does not restore from its original size... ex. i install an app with size of 7mb with my internal of 152MB then after i uninstall it, the memory will be 151MB... it doesn't go back to 152MB...
is this a bug? how do i solve this? thanks!!
It's the same for.me

Eh ? I never encountered this...
Which ROM are you using ?
Restart your phone after un-installing an app and check the space again.

im using gingercruzt ROM 7.4... very stable except for this problem...
When you install an app in user application space and android run it a file is wrote in dalvik cache. If you uninstall the app unfortunately this not remove the spam in dalvik cache.
If you have a rooted phone you can simply clean the dalvik cache and you gain the lost space. I use CWM for that, but there are also good tools like System Tune Pro which have a menu for "clear data cache" and "clear dalvik cache".

Or use an explorer (e.g. file explorer or root explorer) to go to Dalvik cache & delete folders specific to apps you've uninstalled. I've done that a few times before (hardly ever anymore). Dalvik cache exists for a reason. Don't just go around messing with it!

Well, unless you're upgrading ROMs, having boot-up/ROM-crash issues, random unusual FCs and a few other special situations, there's really no need for wiping the Dalvik cache. As far as I know.
I wrote an app for this specific purpose, its called "SD Maid".
The link is in my signature.
Sadly though, the only way to deal with randomly named directory on /mnt/sdcard/ is to delete them manually.
Ok so after attempting replace the AT&T contacts app I finally succeeded, but now my phone doesn't work and I recently lost text messaging.
I downloaded the apk files from this thread then placed them - Contacts.apk, ContactsProvider.apk, Phone.apk, PhoneConfig.apk and associated .odex - in my /system/app folder. I then restarted the phone several times and cleared the Dalvik cache using the SystemCleaner app.
As it stands right now, placing my SIM card in the phone and having it in anything other than airplane mode, I get the error com.android.phone stopped. I can dial a number without the SIM card in but it fails because I'm not connected to my carriers network.
Using Titanium Backup & Restore app, I notice that com.android.providers.telephony isn't installed. I also notice com.motorola.messaging isn't installed. These may suggest why things aren't working.
My phone has been rooted and has an unlocked bootloader. It has the stock ROM and I'd like to keep it if possible. I just want to fix these issues and have my phone back the way it was before all these issues started. Also I'd like to recover my previous text messages if possible.
Any help in addressing this issue would be great.
clear cache for phone and contact...use either tibu or go to apps, and clear cache and data...

Ok so I used Titanium Backup to Wipe Data for Contacts and Phone, powered off the phone, then powered it back on, then inserted my SIM. I got the same message.
If the process for clearing the cache is something else a brief explanation would be welcomed.
By the way ai6908, thanks for taking the time to respond to this thread.
it should have worked...go to CWM and wipe cache and davlik after you wipe data...did you wipe contact storage?
This is why you backup. All you needed to remove art contacts was root uninstaller

Ended up reinstalling the stock ROM and uninstalling most of the AT&T apps. I didn't bother attempting to replace the Contact app with the stock android version.
Is it safe to clear fire launcher data or cache?
What does the data (besides cache) do anyway?

Yes, it is safe to clear its cache, for the data if you haven't removed any system apps, then all the home screens settings will go back to default(like folders will be deleted, sorting will go back to default).
If you have used savvytechwinner's tools to remove system apps then your home screen icons may dissapear.
Hello, the system has failed and now I cannot know which application is the one that cleans the cache, I have the manager installed, but it does not search and clean the cache, do you know how to fix it?
Thanks a lot
