[Q] I can't unistall some apps - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all!
I have unrooted my kf (beacause i had to restore it), but now i have the market of google and Go launcher hd and i can't uninstall them..
How can i do?
Thank you for your answer =)

You are unrooted... That's why you can't uninstall them. My guess is because they now reside inside /system/app/
But I could be wrong.

I rooted again but i can't remove the go launcher yet!

You may have to manually remove them from system, but first try going into settings then apps and seeing if it is in the list there

If you installed an app into the system folder you do need root to remove it.
Now that you are rooted see if you can find the launcher apk file in the system/apps folder using a file explorer such as es file explorer. If you delete that apk and restart the kindle the app will be uninstalled after boot.
Obviously be careful and make sure you are only deleting apps you have added yourself, and not ones that maybe important system apps

once I accidentally replaced browser.apk in /system/app by another apk, later I just deleted browser.apk, and from SD card I re-installed it, and browser came back.
i actually tried that and it says application could not be installed. and the browser has appeared on my app drawer now but when i open it, it force closes. what can i do?
What are you using as you file explorer? I recommend Root Explorer, and don't forget to set the permissions...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
ive used root explorer and es file explorer and still no luck. and yes ive set the permissions. it just says application not installed after i hit install.
ok... I had same problem when installing "Android Terminal Emulator" actually~and still don't know how to fix it
so what can i do, this is getting annoying
I think you may have to resort to restoring your backup...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Do you think if I re flash the theme it will possibly fix this issue? Because its the new inexus theme that was just released. Also reflashing the backup will really be a hassle.
Never mindj just tried to reflash the theme and it didn't work so I still don't know what to do
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You can try the theme, it certainly won't hurt, but I think you'll end up having to do the ROM eventually...
Once you're up and running again, make a backup before trying the theme again.

i did a nandroid backup before flashing the theme. if i restore that backup will i get everything back. like apps and data

[Q] Market won't recognize sideloaded apps

It seems that since updating to the AT&T 2.2 Froyo update and rooting the market will not recognize any side loaded apps that have been added to the phone since upgrading to 2.2. All apps that I side loaded on 2.1 are recognized and can be updated but nothing on 2.2. Anyone else have this problem and if so have you been able to fix this issue?
I used SuperOneClick to root the phone and did a reboot the phone afterward to allow side loading of apps and it is working. I am still using the adb install command to side load all my apps, is this wrong?
If this is something that is not to be discussed I apologize now.
Well I don't have a direct answer to your question but since you are rooted I highly suggest you go and get Titanium Backup along with atrackdog.
The former application will alloa you to backup any applications you want (or aall of them) and then save them to your computer. you can then move the folder to any phone and use Titanium to reinstall the applications exactly where you left off. That means launchers will have the same layouts and games will still have their save states.
The latter will allow you to check the update status of those applications since they won't show up as downloaded applications from the market.

Titanium Backup has been installed since rooted on 2.1 but will have to check out atrackdog. Thanks for the help so far.

side loaded paid apps will NEVER show in market.
free ones can be restored...
tibu has never been able to restore market links for me either.
there used to be a program MCleaner but it got taken off the market..
but all it did was this (do it yourself)
Menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All > Market
- force stop
- clear data
- clear cache (if availavle)
restart market > my apps
Gold!

Actually, it does. Market only keeps track of the apps you buy/download through it. What you're asking is like expecting Wal-Mart to know what you bought from Target.
Hey guys I just had a question while reading through the replies.
I downloaded atrakdog and got a list of all the apps needed to be updated.
One of the apps was the market..
Mine is version 2.3.4
I need to update to 5.0.12
How do you update market? Btw I'm running cm7 does this effect it?
Sent from my phone
Market should update automatically. As far as the sideload apps you can. Also get root explorer and copy paste them to system/app then reboot and they'll all be there.

Is there a manual way of updating your market? And what do you paste into system/app? ?

So your are saying instead of using adb installer just do a drop and drag to the system/app folder and install them that way? Now will that put them in the market place? I don't quite understand what you are really saying here. Excuse my ignorance.

That's exactly what I was thinking was moving the file to the system/app file then reinstalling the .apk first then doing the 3 button reboot to see if it would recognize the app on the market. I did try just a 3 button reboot after side loading a few apps using ADB Installer and just doing the normal drop and drag to the sim card and I know that doesn't recognize them. I am going to try and reinstall one of my apps that way and I will let you know if it shows up or not.
When trying to move a new .apk file to the system/app file it says "You cannot paste here because the file system is a read-only."

You have to click the small window at the top of the screen in root explorer that changes r/o to r/w. You have to do that in each directory you want to edit.

Remove F-Secure

Anyone know the command for adb to remove the F-Secure from a stock rom (rooted)
Also is the a way to copy text and paste in the command prompt?
adb shell pm disable package-name
As for copy & paste, use the mouse

Does that leave f-secure on the phone but disabled?
And also does anyone know the full file name of it as when I looked it was somthing like F-Secure_android_device and the rest is off the screen so can't see the full path name
Yes it does, but I don't know the name as I'm on CM7
Why don't you just freeze it using titanium backup, that is what I have done. ;-)

you can uninstall it with titanium as well, make sure chuck norris mode is on.
I simply removed the apk file from system/apps.
Ok you will need to have root permissions and some kind of file browser like root explorer.

It's not that simple to remove a system apps as they are installed as Read Only files, tried with titanium and it still did not uninstall, but i did manage to freeze it
There is a way to make it so it doesn't run... Do a hard reset (non root) and never open the app. That's what I have done and never get the stupid sounds from it or anything else.

Try if it works.
Copy into /system/app and set permissions and owner same as others using root explorer.
Edit: Removed file as OP reported as not working
Nah didn't work it just said application not installed

It will say application not installed. You just have to put it in \system\app, fix the permissions and reboot.
You don't have to install it like other apps.

Tried that nothing happened, it's in my /system/app folder now and I restarted twice and nothing. Should I try and push it w/ adb?

I am posting the deleted apps zip in the slim thread right now, sorry for the delay. You will probably have to use a root explorer and put applicationmanager.apk into the /system/app folder and you may have to restart afterwards

[Q] Uninstalling a app installed in system folder

I recently installed WidgetLocker and installed it in my system/app folder as I read it would work best if installed there. But have come to just not like using it and just gone back to the default kindle lock screen and changed the background wallpapers. I can't seem to find a place on the device or apps I use to uninstall it.
And deleting the .apk from the system folder works, but am unsure if everything is removed.
Would I just delete the .apk in the system/app folder then remove any links/shortcuts or is there another, proper, way to do it?
Sent from my KF-HD7
The app manager of a handy program called ROM TOOLBOX can uninstall system files. Just load it, then a long press on the offending "app will reveal menu including uninstall.
Awesome, thank you. Guess I should have this on my device for a while

Just deleting it and rebooting would unninstall a system app just fine ^^ Though maybe the data wont go

Yeah, that's what I first did and shortcuts and some of the data and its folder still remained, but I uninstalled with ROM Toolbox and it worked out nicely. Got rid of most of what I wanted gone.
