Has anyone successfully deleted an app from it that has been backed up and in the uninstall section, I hit delete and hope for the best but it seems like the app that I thought should be deleted is back after reboot so am I missing something or do I have to go into ES File Manager as root and try to look for each app individually and delete them?

I think some apps leave behind some 'residue' of theirs instals even after uninstall.
you can try some of these cleaners which specifically do this job.
am assuming that's what you meant

Haven't used them in the recent past, but SD Maid is one that comes to mind.
another one (not very certain of the name) you can try is Root uninstaller or something like that..

I flash a lot. I'm getting sick of manually reinstalling apps. I used mybackup pro but it seems like it would forget apps. Right now I'm using AppBrain. Is there any way to back up all apps then reinstall them from the back up and have them run like nothing ever happened?
android should install them automatically once you link your phone with your google account. Other then that not that I know of, unless you move all apps to sdcard.
I think it only does that on the stock rom.
nope, did it for CM6 and Enomthers rom (sorry i cant remember how to spell it)

My mom has a captivate running stock android 2.1.
I only enabled lagfix on her phone and nothing else.
After the official froyo came out I was thinking about updating it.
I have a few questions about it. Please answer as many as you can...
1. Will all apps disappear?
2. If yes for #1 do I need to get titanium backup?
3. Do I disable lagfix?
Please help.. thank you

Here's your answer, search the forums. You will find it.
1. All apps will dissapear! Be warned
2. You should use titanium backup thats a good idea but the kb1 must be rooted and sideloading enable to get them all back (use super one click) also put the titanium backup folder on external sd or on computer just in case
3. YES DISABLE THE LAGFIX VERY IMPORTANT

Thanks for the reply!. Would have caused a great trouble if I didn't question this...
Anyway just wondering, if I just had the captivate and did not know anything about root/flash/etc I would have just updated and gotten everything deleted right?
Did Samsung mention the fact that all my apps would have disappeared?. I just think its unfair to some people....

With normal android devices this would not have been an issue as the apps reinstall when you light into your Google account but that feature is missing from the Galaxy line

Yea, you should take all the important folders off your internal sd card like the titanium backup folder and put them spmewhere on you computer, that's what I did and once I updated I got all my files back, I still needed to root/enable sideloading to get my apps from TiBu back
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yes, it would have gotten deleted even if you hadn't upgraded to the ji6 build of froyo

Is that true? Now it makes sense why nothing seems to happen when I go to a new rom.
No clue... Probably a comp or browser

Where can i get these apps I know the apex 8.1 rom uses them but im trying another rom and id like to have these two apps. I backed them up with titanium but i guess its not working because it wont let me restore them.
It is probably a system app. What you can do is open up the zip file for the old rom, find the app you want, and drop it in system/app using root explorer.

I noticed my note is geting full of folders from apps that I tried out but later deleted.
I deleted the apps the proper way by stopping.,deleting data, than unistall. But many folders are given strange names and I don't want to delete the wrong folders.
Is there something like cc cleaner.( desktop app) that will do this.
Thanks

Make a titanium backup of your current apps and format your SD or Phone memory...i dont think theres an app to do the work you are asking for...but Root Cache Cleaner and stuff like that might work some times...
You might want to check SD Maid on the Market. Not 100% sure, but I recall it had some function of looking for orphaned data.

Hi there. After deleting the clock app from my note I have been sent the apk again to reinstall. However aftrr pushing file into system/app i cannot get it to install and it does not show up in app drawer. I have permissions set at RW R R but still nothing.
Am I doing something wrong? All help appreciated.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Bit more info on this. I am on LQ2 with Root and standard kernel.
Only thing i havent done that I can think of is to simply reload LQ2 and start again but this seems a bit much for the sake of an alarm clock. I have installed a basic clock from market but i much predfered the stock clock.

Haven't you got a backup which includes the clock? Always do backups with titanium backup before removing system apps.
In case you got titanium backup pm me your email address and I will send you my backup of the clock. I think this is the simplest way.

Yeah i realise now that i should have done a back up but i deleted the wrong app whilst i was cleaning up and didnt realise till later.

Did you reboot after pushing the apk and setting permissions? It has to be done for changes to take effect.
Yeah rebooted and cleared davlik cache as well.
I think the problem might be that there is still parts of the alarm or clock app left in the the registry or system/app folder but I cant find them. For time being i downloaded a copy of the Clock app from tge Nexus and it works fine.

Sending you titanium backup of clock, place it to titanium backup folder and restore it.
Check PM after some time.

I did exactly the same. Sent it to him by email. No response yet whether it worked or not.
Hey guys thanks for reply. Not had a chance to try back up yet but should get time later tonight and will let you know.

Ok so tried to do a backup and titanium says its reinstalling app but just stays at that sort of buffering circle for as long as i care to leave the phone to run. In titanium the backup shows being available for backup with the smiley face etc. I can see titanium getting su access etc as well but just not reinstalling.
Might need to admit defeat lol.

it would be relatively painless if you'll find/use non-wipe ROM
