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 hav an htc hero and I'm wondering how to clear my gallerys cache using the partitions menu in clockworkmod recovery. Its a lot to type from my phone so here's the info from my android forums post.
androidforums.com/sprint-hero-all-things-root/266717-how-do-i-clear-my-gallery-its-showing-wrong-pictures.html
I'm guessing it can be done there like when I wanted to clear my google apps I was told to use format /system and it wordked. But I don't know what these things actually do so I don't want to use the wrong one and lost other things from my phone
I'm not quite sure what cache your referring to, but in your menu settings " within your rom" it should be a option for managing your apps. Once you find that selection you can find the gallery application and clear the cache. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Iv tried this already. And it didn't work. I even switched roms. These are from when I had cyanogenmod. I reflashed everything and am now using aosp. And it still does it. But only in gallery. quickpic doesn't but that app isn't very good. That's y I'm trying to find what the things in the partitions menu do. Because gapps don't get deleted between roms, u have to go to partitions menu then format /system. So there must b a place outside the rom where old caches are stored
I think you just clear the Dev cache..
I Don't use clockwork but partitioning usually erases everything.

I just tried clearing the gallery data and clearing the cache threw the recovery menu. But yet still when I click a photo I see the correct one for a split seccond and then it turns into an old deleted photo
Try looking on your sd card in your camera folder there might be img.'s left on there. If so delete the old images and reboot. You would look in the folder titled DCIM then look under camera.

I tryed taking all the photos off into my computer and deleting the folders and everything... unfortuately it didn't work. Thank you guys for these sugestions. I appreciate it because id like to figure this out
Well I found a fix just in case anyone else has this problem. I did the format system cache boot and data in the partitions menu. It didn't even help. Im not sure where the pics are being stored but my problem was the stock gallery. I went to it in titanium backup. And used that to find the app in the market. I installed the 3d gallery over stock. Which took out stock And made the 3d gallery app mess up and loop the startup of my phone. It gave a blank icon and said com.gallery and then I used titanium backup to uninstall that because the market wouldnt let me. And then reinstall the 3d gallery from market. And the stock is gone along with the problem! App works fine now!

This in my Opinion this is the Easiest Way, All I do is just Open my File Manager and go to
Sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/
Then I Select All, and Delete Everything in that File!
From what I Noticed, Whenever I Reboot the Phone, The Cache and a Few Other Files Recreate Themselves Independently!
Good Luck!!

Hey im on ICS 4.0.3
I updated my rom from an earlier beta of the same rom after wiping (I didn't need to, it was my choice ). So after a few days i got tired of not have all my abbreviated words and names etc (FB sync is not currently working on this rom) so decided to restore the data from TB.. It said all went well and a reboot is usually required. So reboot. Soon as i reboot i get "Unfortunately Android keyboard has stopped working". Keep getting this every so often.
My attempted solutions
- Used TB to restore data + app
- Clear data from dictionary provider, android keyboard and User dictionary
- Reflash rom without wipe
- Clear cache (from CWM) and Dalvik and fix permissions
- Reflash again
- Use logcat to find the file and delete the problem file (didn't understand it and couldn't find the files )
- Can't even go into settings > language & input every time i try i get "Unfortunately Settings has stopped"
I disabled android keyboard and the pop up stopped appearing (when the other two were disabled the error still appeared).
I have now installed swiftkey X trial and it works but i would very much like the stock android keyboard back. I still cannot access language & input
Thanks for reading and replying
P.S. I have tried searching a few keywords and i haven't found anything. I have not changed language, and as said i have cleared the data from the above system apps.
*BUMP*
One bump then ill accept no-one has an answer..
Generally clearing data from android keyboard and dictionary should have worked..
you can try clearing data of both using titanium backup..
if that also isn't working, I saw that you have written reflash rom and reflash rom without wipe in steps taken.. did you try to reflash rom with wipe?
that should definitely work, right
Have no idea how it worked but clearing the data from TB instead of from the individual apps via manage apps has worked!! I always thought that option would delete the backup but then i looked at it properly and saw the delete button beneath it.
Now ill try restore dictionary one more time as i know how to fix the problem should it arise again.
Btw I didn't want to try with wipe because I couldnt be bothered to back up everything again, I think there are going to be some updates in the next week and just seems too much effort
I am having the same problem

TB = Titanium backup. Root is required as far as I know. And you clear the data by finding the app under the backup/restore tab pressing on keyboard app and the dictionary app and press on wipe data. Let us known if it goes well.

no, the problem still persists,
m using htc hd2 ICS cwm
problem solved
i had to reset\erase factory setting from CWM,
So basically everything was erased from phone
note
when i restored backup from sd card, i started getting back error msg,
advance restoring system also gets problem back,
only restoring Sd ext3 or mounted restore doesnt creates any error on keyboard error.
on my case TB didnt helped

Clearing the cache and data with Titanium backup worked for me. I guess the titanium backup of the user dictionary does not work.

Hi there.
I would be very grateful if someone will help me solve my problem.
Well, after moving .apk to system/app (This time it was Google Wallet, but earlier I had the same with other apps) and data/app (tried both), it doesn't appear in the app drawer. What is more, It's not seen by Titanum Backup, nor the adb sees it as the installed package (adb shell, pm list packages) - no app on the list).
As I said, it works with every app - nothing appears after moving .apk to system directory manually.
Okay, wiping Dalvik-Cache and fixing the permissions may solve the problem, but I am afraid it may enable THIS screen appear on EVERY reboot (correct me if I am wrong).
Do you know any other solution? Or wiping dalvik-cache and fixing the permissions from recovery is the only proper one?
P.S. Can wiping dalvik-cache and fixing the permissions cause some problems, like it will delete the records in games or will have to configure the settings again?
use es File Explorer as you need to set the permissions, es automatically sets them correctly

Well, what I forgot to add, I of course set the permissions (644 as all system apps)... Is in that case only solution wiping dalvik-cache?
Will wiping dalvik cache delete my games records

I would suggest to wipe dalvik and the regular cache.
Any game data won't be touched (those aren't cache files correct me if I'm wrong)
If the problem persists tell us what rom etc. you're on and maybe do a full reinstall with backing up data before.

Are you using an apk from the stock rom on another rom? I'm asking this because I wanted LG Weather on CM 10.1 and I put it in system/app, rebooted and it didn't appear anywhere. The thing is that the stock rom is not deodexed and CM is. I had to use a tool to deodex the app and then put it in place, fix permissions and reboot.

You shouldn't need to wipe the dalvik cache, simply rebooting will appear that screen only for the apps that you manually put in system/app.

I'm on the Stock ROM. So I should odex this file to use it? Could you tell me which tool should I use?

1. you dont move the apk. you copy it in system/app.
2. the game data is in data not in cache.
3. you dont need to wipe dalvic. a new app installed just creates a new file in dalvic

Well I fix thew permissions in file manager. I don't know how to make the apps install this way,
Even if you copy it to /system/app/ and set permissions, it won't be installed for sure. You'd better check logs to know what's happening.
At night, the phone's screen will turn on when it receives a notification, then never turn off. It also doesn't always show the black and white "ambient display" notification screen all of the time. Texts and emails will still show the regular one that I'm used to with other phones. Is there any way to make it work properly?
Try to wipe cache only, in recovery if necessary. Worked for some.

Does anyone know how to wipe the cache like the guy above suggested?

Are those instructions only for the OP3? I'm using an OP3T and they don't work for me. I don't see any option to wipe cache partition.
EDIT: I went into recovery mode and wiped the cache. I hope this works.
Go to settings then apps then find your app. Click storage and you will see the option to wipe cache.

I don't know which app could be causing this, so I just went into recovery mode and wiped the phone's entire cache that way. I'm hoping this solves it because I REALLY don't want to have to do a factory reset. I had to manually download all of my apps when I switched phones.
You can clear the systems app from apps in settings but I don't know if that will fix it. Clearing the phone from recovery shouldn't delete your apps but will Probably clear your logins and passwords for different apps

Doing a factory reset will delete everything, including apps. That's what I'm trying to avoid. Like I said, I don't know which app is the culprit here.
