Stock Adobe Flash player system app on ICS? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated to ICS over Kies, then restored my apps with Titanium Backup. For those that don't know, Adobe Flash Player is installed as a system app. I think something went wrong with the restore for flash player with TB, because after restore finished, Google Play notified me that there was an update to Flash Player (even though I had already restored the latest version). So I updated through Google Play.
Now my current situation, the flash player doesn't work now. However, the flash player setting icon is still present in Touchwiz. To get it to work, I have to restore it with TB, which installs successfully, even though it's treated as a system app (and at least for me, TB has always hung when trying to restore a system app).
Every time I reboot the phone or power off/on, flash player stops working and I have to restore with TB to get it working again. Checking the list of system apps after I do a restore does not show anything new - so I have a feeling TB is not actually restoring it as a system app?
1) Does anyone know what is causing this problem and how I can fix it?
2) I've pulled up the list of system apps, and the only .apk I can see corresponding to the flash player is titled "com.android.flashplayer-2.apk". Is this how it appears for those of you on stock ICS?
(I also tried removing com.android.flashplayer-2.apk, then installed it as "com.android.flashplayer-1.apk" in system apps and the problem still persisted.)

Market and Installed Apps

So I tried the new MIUI rom for Milestone and I really liked it, I switched from CM7, and when I did a data restore from CM7 to MIUI, it made my phone freeze and not run properly, giving me system errors. So I wiped and did a davlik wipe as well. Did a nandroid restore to my CM7 rom and used Astro file manager to backup all my apps. Than I wiped again and flashed MIUI, than used astro to install all the apps again, but they do not show up as installed in my market. Just the purchased ones show up as not installed, just pruchased. Is there a way that I can fix it, so the market will detect me installed apps so I can update them. I was hoping to have to avoid reinstalled 50 or more apps.
Thanks, Adam.
Hope all that made sense lol

Use TITANIUM BACKUP and use the option to force app to show on market.
the Market Doctor? or is there another option? Will restoring my apps make them appear in the market?
Thanks.

Download the TITANIUM BACKUP and them look for the option to attach the app you want to the Market.
Simple like that.
search app call "google xxx architecture" in manage application, clear cache, reboot,relogin gmail, open market
off coz use tititum backup to save the app for DR
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
What about the apps that it didn't attach? it maybe did half...

Tried to convert Play Store to user app ,wont stop crashing.

As described.
Tried to convert to user app via TB for greenify and it immediately would crash anytime I initiated a download.
Tried updating to newest ,converting back to system app , tix permissions , clearing cache in DL manager , Play services, play store etc. and same issue.
Any idea how to get it back to working ?
Flash ROM again. If you still down then time to Odin back to stock and start all over
That's why you don't delete stuff unless you KNOW what it is and HOW it benefits you on having "playstore" frozen.

Google Play Music ID backup

For those who don't want to call google every couple weeks.
I think there are better ways of doing this but it worked for me. Any recommendations for something NOT rom specific.
\Nexus 6\Internal Storage\Android\data\com.google.android.music\files\._playmusicid
"._playmusicid" - You probably need to make a backup of this file every time a new version of the app comes out.
I tried to copy this file over a new install version after a rom change... it did seem to work.
I did the above all from recovery.
I used TiBu to reload just the apk for the app. For some reason a TiBu of this with user app data never worked
I tried it again for giggles and noticed that if you actually play some music on the new id file then overwrite with your back up it will corrupt the play music install... (just force close, delete data folder, reinstall app from store to fix)

Titanium Backup wont install. Error in application installation /code 504

I was running stock lollipop 5.0.1 on my note 4. I rooted my phone and supersu was installed during the process. I then installed Titanium backup and deleted all unwanted bloatware. Then i decided i wanted to unroot my phone( so i could be able to do normal software updates / and run stock rom with no bloatware). To flash back to stock i flashed N910TUVU1COD6_N910TTMB1COD6_N910TUVU1COD6 via odin. This however reinstalled all system bloatware that i removed with titanium backup. SO THEN, i re- rooted, re-installed titanium backup & re-deleted system bloatware, then went to supersu, and selected UNROOT from the apps options. This closed the app and restarted my phone. When it booted back up i went to the market to reinstall titanium backup i get this messege " Unknown error code during application install:-504"
My phone is currently stock rooted, with supersu installed, awaiting the fix so that i can install titanium backup.
PLEASE HELP; I am trying to install a custom rom, and need my apps backed up via titanium backup!!

Try clearing data from the play store app and Google play services then redownload ttb. If that doesn't work you could try wiping dalvik and cache in recovery but it'll take 20 minutes for your phone to boot after doing that and your phone will get hot in the process!
Thank you. I have done that about 3 times with no success. Even unrooted and re rooted. I'm really trying to avoid having to factory reset. And even if do, I don't know if it will fix what this problem is.
Sorry buddy. Start over. Odin to stock + factory reset.
You can then run stock rooted without the bloat.
Or custom rommed up.
We probably aren't getting any important updates soon.
My error 504 Fix - Sprint LG G4
Because I went through hell trying to fix this error while reinstalling Titanium Backup *Root* on my once rooted, then unrooted, then rerooted Sprint LG G4, I will explain what finally worked for me.
First off, the app was installed and working fine and was used to backup my entire phone to the TB cloud. So, when I rerooted my phone and expected to reinstall TB and then go get my stuff, so as to basically restore the phone to the way it was before unrooting, I was pissed that I kept getting that stupid error code. I tried all the suggestions for fixing; delete the cache & data for Google Play Store & Google Services Framework, remove gmail account and reboot, and delete data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup file. Nothing, by itself, worked. So here's what I did:
1. I downloaded a file managing app for root. I used File Explorer (for root).
2. Using File Explorer, I found the data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup file and deleted it.
3. I deleted the cache & data for Google Play & Google Services Framework.
4. I removed my Gmail account and rebooted the phone.
5. I opened Google Play Store. At this point the app will ask for your account info and when done, your Gmail account will be back.
6. I located the Titanium Backup *Root* app and installed it. It's important to note that if you have the Pro version of TB, I found you should install the free version 1st, then install the Pro version after that.
Presto! No Error Code 504! I had TB back on my phone, once again!!!
Hope this helps anyone having this same issue. I see no reason why this shouldn't work on any phone, but I can't say for sure.

I tried but it didn't work
I even tried to install the Titanium.apk directly ( copied from another phone) but I am receiving the error message:
application not installed.
Any help please?
Daniel
That's all that I did. Recently I had that problem once again. And it was fixed... Forgot the steps to get there. But you may try using cleaner apps or SDmaid to get rid of the corpses.
I just had the same problem and step two
2. Using File Explorer, I found the data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup file and deleted it.
did it for me.
Chris
This worked for me on the first attempt (just deleting the com.kerimidas folder listed above) .....and NOTHING EVER WORKS FOR ME ON THE FIRST TRY!!!
THX!!!
I also had the same problem, did everything not helped.
finally downloaded the titanium .apk file from internet and its now working fine!

Just this step fixed the problem, installed OK. Didnt have to do any of the other things.

Problems with Play Store, Downloads, and Media Storage after downgrading to KK

I've been fed up with the poor battery life on Lollipop and Marshmallow, so I decided to downgrade my Z3c to KitKat. I did it "by the book," using Flashtool to downgrade (I checked both boxes to wipe everything in Flashtool), giefroot, dual recovery, etc. I installed a prerooted zip of 23.0.1.A.5.77 and then flashed RICdefeat and a mod specifically designed for 23.0.1.A.5.77 so I could have Xloud. Both the prerooted firmware and the mod are from XDA. So far so good. I had root and recovery working perfectly, and I started downloading my apps from the Play Store.
Everything looked great until I tried to access the Play store after the first reboot. The Installed Apps under the My Apps menu would not show up at all, and anything I tried to download would just hang at "download pending" and never make any progress. Furthermore I could not download anything from my browser (Chrome). And every time I tried to assign ringtones or notification sounds, Media Storage crashed. I did some searching and found that the Download Manager and Media Storage are somehow linked and seem to be the cause of this problem. Things went back to normal after I cleared the cache (or force closed if there was no clear cache option) from both of those in settings, but this does not persist after a reboot. So every time I reboot the phone, I have to go back and clear those manually, and then re-assign all of my custom sounds (ringtones, notifications, etc) due to media storage being cleared. Luckily I don't reboot all that often, but obviously this is not ideal.
I do have Xposed with a few modules (Gravitybox, Amplify, Greenify, etc.) installed, but this problem occurred before I even installed Xposed. I use Titanium Backup to freeze some of Sony's bloatware. Otherwise I'm basically stock with a locked bootloader, and I have plenty of free space on internal storage.
What is causing my download manager and media storage to keep messing things up, and is there a fix?
You mentioned that you have frozen some of the Sony's bloatware on your phone. Might have something to do with that!
About the download pending on Play Store: Play Store might be needed to be updated, so go to settings (sliding menu from Play Store) and tap on Build Version, it will say something like "Newer version will be downloaded and installed etc" IF you have an old version of the Play Store.
