[Q] How to clean up any traces of a installed app?

I installed MX Video Player 1.6e and was going to upgrade it to the latest version of the software. So I uninstall MX Video Player and when I tried to install the latest version of MX Video Player, it say "Out of Space".
I did some reading up and there is a few post about deleting the odex file under Android/App/Data. However, there isn't any odex file in that folder. I even tried deleting the who Data folder and it does not solve the issue. Anyone has any idea where I can go to clean up the install file for MX Video Player?

Just where is the Android/App/Data folder ? I can't seem to find it.
Try deleting the app via Titanium Backup and also check if you are really out of storage space ?

The full path is mnt/sdcard/android/app/data.
The app has already been deleted so it is not showing up in Titanium Backup. I have double check the storage space and I got a good 1.1gb of space left.
So not really sure what to do from this point. I know that I can install the latest version of MX Video Player if I do a full wipe but I rather avoid doing this if I can.

Same problem here. Just can't install titanium backup and poweramp..

Don't do it! Stick to 1.6e as later versions have the DTS codec removed which sucks donkey balls.

You can also just remove the .odex file for the app you patched. It will be in /data/app/nameofapk.odex

Try the app "SD Maid"
It cleans up the system and leftover files. Kind of CCleaner for Android.

SD maid doesn't help. Cleaned up my entire phone and still couldn't install Poweramp and titanium backup.
Wiped my data and performed a clean install of PA last night, and managed to install and update TB but Poweramp still doesn't install.
OP has the same problem as me, just different apps

Yes it will work for the op or any other app because its the universal solution for this problem

Well, I'm kind of offtopic but actually I solved this problem just by uninstalling the codec app.

Bricked device after 7.2.1?

I'm wondering if, after the new update, anyone's had a bricked device? I unrooted before since I was afraid of that, but if no one got problems so far, its safe to root once again... Besides would love to know of someone was able to avoid the update somehow. It has officially been releases a while ago (you can look into amazon's update software page)
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium

Nope, my device was rooted when I got the ota, but I did not get bricked. I just re rooted with the qemu tool.

did u have gplay installed?
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium

Yes, and I can still install just fine from it.

One las question, did ypu have a custom launcher and no problem?? If so, Im ready to stay rooted
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium

No problems with custom launchers but the update does remove them. So you have to reinstall after the update

Not correct, I still have Nova Launcher as default after update.

Personally, anything I had placed in system was removed for me. This included Nova launcher, Swype, and the Vending.apk for gplay. I just rerooted and put them all back, and everything else I had as retained.

I just got mine, and once it was booted up, it clearly did an auto upgrade to 7.2.1. I got the QEMU root tool but the Kindle is never recognized when I plug it into the computer.
Any ideas why that's happening?

v4.1.2 JB ROM's Issues

Hi Folks,
I have flashed kallt_kaffe's rom located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28871951&postcount=1
Everything worked except these:
I can't see my galaxy tab anymore on 'my computer' when I connect it via usb. Also Kies can't recognize the tablet.
I have flashed gapps however not everything installed along with it. Google Maps is missing for example and when I try to do a voice call through Gtalk, it shuts down immediately.
What would you suggest?

Just found the solution to the first issue: Enabled MTP device via storage settings.
However looks like Gapps does not install properly; Google Maps is missing and voice/video calls in Gtalk won't work

Re-download gapps and re-flash it. It may be a bad download.

I did it like 5 times and still won't work.
Also checked the files if they are in place through ES file explorer and they indeed were.
Tried to install some of them and got 'install failed' error...

Uninstall gtalk and then reinstall. Get maps and gtalk from the store. That'll probably solve your problem.

More importantly, I wouldn't commit to that particular ROM, as the developer abandoned it without warning almost two months ago.

I did it uninstall and then reinstall and it still did not work, so frustrating.
Very strangely, when I accessed the Maps through the store app, it told me that it was not available in my country??
and later I was able to install it through the browser.
Plus when I chose 'all the apps from Google', I could see only the one third of all their apps.
I can't figure this out... only for this I could go back to stock ICS.

Try android 4.2.1, it's a dream on this tab...

Thanks for the suggestion. I found the solution to the Gapps issue, just replaced the Gtalk from an old Gapps package and it worked like a charm.
Anyway is that ROM stable yet?

Ready to change my old android 4.0 for 4.2.2

Hi people!!!
I'm ready to change my old android 4.0 for a new one, i'm thinking in 4.2.2 because it's newer and i think that has less bugs that this version.
But i'm worried about my apps, and services, like my gps points and my advace in my games and download again everything!!!
So, i want to know if exist any app to avoid download all again, and keep my info, like my notes, my downloads and everything.
Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Google will back up all of your apps if you opted to do so. Make a nandroid back up in recovery, as well as a TiBu backup. Then when you isntall 4.2.2 you should be able to recover everything with those 3 backups.

Going from 4.0 to 4.2.2 could cause issues though so be warned that after you restore your data you could encounter FC's. Not saying it will happen but there is always a chance. Especially considering that there is a completely different partition layout between where you are and where you are wanting to go.

Well wouldn't he just flash 4.2.2 twice, then the gapps, and restore non-system apps and be fine?

Yes that would work perfectly as far as restoring apps. However the restore of user data for the apps so he has his last save point on a game or is already logged into Facebook might be a different story. With the use of the /datadata partition in JB it could cause issues. But it might not I really don't know.

Good point, didn't think of that. I would think the apps should be able to find the correct path though when restoring backups from ICS to JB...worst comes to worst just move it manually

I know that cm10.1 has a symbolic link, data/data >> datadata, that gets created when you flash it. I imagine that is only there to allow legacy settings to work.

Thanks for the answers, its really helpfull for me.
Mmm i think that it's better download all again, after that generate a issues in device, because it's just why i'm changing my android version jeje to avoid problems and bugs.
So, i want just one answer, what it's better for me.
Make that backup and restore with all its problems, or just download all my apps again and lose the data.
Remember i am a noob in this world, and i think that i can afford the time of install all again.
Thank forum, it's just a lot of help for me.

Try both out. I would start by doing all your backups and then upgrade and try to restore your data. If it works then go with it. If you have problems resort to the other option.

i use RemICS-JB[v6] and latest mackay kernel! u tried another rom but same problem tried to clear cache and data but nothing!

is it a system app? if so use "root explore" goto system/app then click on the YouTube.apk and select "reinstall" see if that fixes it.

So is the youtube app just force closing or is the video saying error?
Also have you tried fixing permissions and clear cache at the same time? I would also suggest trying out the root explorer method but only if its a system app.

If nothing else works try deleting Youtube.apk from /system or /data and try reinstalling from Play Store
Make a backup though just in case

When you try download the app it gives "Unsupported video format?" O_O
It could be a problem with your gapps... I never had problems using gapps on RemICS-JB. Did you use the gapps made by monish?
