Totally erasing a game - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently downloaded a game for my son to play on my note ( iHorse Racing ) which he loves, but he got off to a bad start and wants to begin again from the start.
so i uninstalled the game and clearded data, but when i installed it again, i started me with the horse i picked in the last start.
SO.....
how do i totally erase everything to do with the game, so when i install it again, the note dont assume i had it before??

Try clearing the data and cache for the game, once installed

this happens because you have allowed google to keep backup of your phone data. this enables restoring of your app data. To resolve this you need to delete the data file of the game after uninstalling(use a root browser) and uncheck restore data settings from play store.

I think you can leave it installed, but clear the data from settings>Applications.
No root required,

use a file explorer to delete all the folders and reinstall

check in sdcard\android\obb & data folder for files of the game.. then delete it.
also it could be stored in the android.secure folder. to access it you will need to mount the usb storage in CWM recovery

Uninstalled an app, now get 'insufficient storage available' when i try to re-install

I installed FPSE, and then uninstalled it after having problems, but now I cannot install either the version I downloaded, or the version from the store. Both tell me I have insufficient storage space available, even though I have well over a gig free.
Also I am able to install other things.
Any ideas?
I am using Gingerbread 2.3.6, rooted..
Just redid the procedure with Odin to root, just in case that might clear something, but no...

Use some Root Browser to check your system folder to see if you have available storage space. Sometime the old files are not deleted and they fill up the storage space. If this is the case you need to format the system folder before you can install anything.
I had the same problem too,after I uninstalled N.O.V.A. 3 and can't install it back.But other apps has no problem of installing.
SD maid from Playstore might help here^_^.
Contrary to the name, it clears cache and left over data and logs from the phone internal and external memory.

If you have another Android device, you can force the app back on your phone.
1) Install app on other device
2) Make Titanium Backup of app on other device and send it to your phone
3) Open Titanium Backup on phone and go into preferences; change restore location to external storage
4) Restore app backup from other device
5) After restoring app, go into Settings -> Applications and move the app from SD to phone
6) Now app is installed on phone just as if you installed it normally and you can change your Titanium Backup restore location back to default

Try to clear cache and data from the store.
Easy, uninstall the app first, then go /data, search the app name, like "titanium" or the package name, sth like com.xxxxxx.xxx, should have that name.odex or any other, delete it, but make sure its correct name of coz, after u deleted the file in /data, u can install it again
But yea, like the above user say, it usually appear in crack app, if so, do the purchase mate

You must have some leftover file for previous installation, serch and delete of that will allow to install again.
I had this problem the other day trying to install apps with titanium backup and the play store, both were getting this error. I fixed it the same way by going into the data/app folder and deleteing the .odex files in there. I had two in my folder, one was 'com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex' and i cant remember what the other one was. I think when an app is uninstalled or modified, it sometimes leaves a .odex residue file which causes the error.
Here is a simple SOLUTION :-
Install lucky patcher now press the menu key
Choose troubleshooting now click on removes fixes and backup now u can install the application

[Q] Insufficient Storage Available on a few apps

Okay. So the weirdest, yet most annoyingness (them fake words, though) thing keeps happening. It's a pet peeve of mines to not have all my apps up to date. LoL!! So these 2 apps keep giving me the Insufficient Storage Available error.
It started off with PPSSPP ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ppsspp.ppsspp ).
I can't update to the newest update. I have the previous one. I once ran Google Edition and it updated fine. I meant to make a backup and just restore it to be up to date. Grr!!
Then all of a sudden it started happening to The Hardest Game Ever 2 ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.orangenose.games ).
It's weird. I want them to update. LoL!! Yes, I have enough space. I mean all my other apps update.
I've wiped Dalvik Cache and Cache. I read over something once about deleting system logs? When these apps finishing updating I try wiping Market Data. Or maybe just wiping the Market cache. I don't feel. Maybe data. It wouldn't hurt anything.
And it's so weird. On my GS2, restarting usually fixed it, or the problem usually fixed itself. Hmm...
Anyone else ever run into this? What did you do to solve it or did it fix itself? This has been an ongoing problem. I know sometime before the GE phones came out. LoL!!
And as I type this a 3rd app has been added. Into The Dead. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sidheinteractive.sif.DR ).
I can't have that. That's my game. LoL!!
To not make OP too long, here's some things I've done so far...
Deleted PlayStore Cache and Data...
Checked to see if ROM Toolbox Pro had Apps2SD set to Auto (and it as already on Auto)...
Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache in recovery...
Deleted the app and tried to reinstall (Had to recover the app. LoL!!)...
Made SURE I had enough space. (I took a 6GB backup off my phone. I KNOW I have at least 6GB off the bat)
It's a slow growing list of apps. Hmm...
The only thing left is to backup apps and reinstall the ROM, since it works on other ROMs. *sigh* That'll take forever. =.S
SOVLED
I have it fixed. Here's what I did. You NEED root to fix since you have to go to a system folder. I think you can do this without root if you use ADB commands. I don't know remember if the computer version of ADB can navigate to these folders. Anyways...
"Follow this and let me know if it works for you.
First step is go into a file explorer with root access. Second in the root directory click on data, once in the data folder click on app-lib folder. Last step is scroll down to the data folder for the app you are trying to update or install and delete it. Thrn go into the market and try to install"
http://www.techfreestyle.com/io
1st comment on the page.
Steps:
1) You will need root. Go into a file explorer and go to the root folder. (I used Root Explorer)
2) Open the directory named "data".
3) Open the directory named "app-lib"
4) Find ALL the folders of the app you're trying to update or install and delete them.
5) Reinstall or update the app and it should work
I don't know if this will delete the data of the app. I've already deleted the data manually from those apps, so I don't know. Do with caution.
also its just solve the app that u can't install , so its not solving the problem permanently.

You're right. It happened again. But this time these apps had data. The method I mentioned didn't delete the app data. So that's good.
But this means it can happen again. Its a bit tedious deleting them files. I wonder what's causing it. Hmm... Maybe these lib files are suppose to delete on their own, but they don't. =./

Can't create a Google account

First of all, it's not my phone, it's not rooted and owner is not an experienced android user so he won't root it..
Problem:
When opening Google play, it closes immediately.. Same thing on Gmail app..
YouTube app opens, but when trying to sign in, it closes sing screen..
When trying to create account via settings, I click on 'create new' account and when I choose 'google' option, it goes back to account settings..
What should I do to solve this?
Already tried deleting all data from apps that need a Google account, such as Gmail, play store, YouTube, etc

Wipe cache from recovery. If that do not help - do factory reset from recovery too. Other data and installed apps will be lost, ofcourse - so backup with Titanium Backup, some sms backup, contacts...
As I said in first post, no root.. So, no recovery, no titanium backup, no nothing..
But anyway, thanks for replying! =)

You can use recovery if you are not rooted. Volume Up + home + power.
SMS and contacts can be backed up without root too. So he only need to redownload apps from playstore.
I'm too used to Sony
Is it possible to make a backup of whole system with stock recovery?
If not, is there any app that make apps and data backups?

Just talk to your friend into rooting his device. For backup purposes. That is if he doesn't want to lose any apps/saved game data. Don't worry about pics/music as they are left untouched even if you reset the phone in recovery.
Sent from whatever the thing I use using whatever the app I have.
In order to backup your data / apps you need access to partition that stores said data - you need root to do it.
you can always do full unroot after whole story.
1. root
2. backup your stuff
3. factory reset as needed here
4. re-root if needed (forgot if it stays after factory reset - if not just go to next step)
5. restore backups
6. full unroot (option in supersu app - no need re-flash whole JB to unroot)
Talked to my friend about everything.. He said he has nothing important on his phone, so I can use MyBackup to save his apks, SMS and contacts..
In case I can't solve play store problem I'll be posting here again..
Thanks to all of you! =D
Problem solved! Thank you all!

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!

Help Needed! Boot loop after cache wipe lineageOS

Hello,
My phone shuts off after a few seconds on startup when there is not enough space. What I do is wipe cache and dalvik and then free up some data.
Same thing happened today after trying to backup some stuff with titanium. So I freed up some stuff and erased cache and dalvik cache in twrp.
But now my phone just stays on the lineage logo thing, never actually boots. I am stuck and this is bad because all my data is lost. Especially signal which I hadn't backed up...
Can anyone help? I would be very grateful!
lineageos 16
Backup everything in TWRP although I'm not sure if media in Signal will be included.
You can check that by opening the ...win files afterwards on a PC but have to rename them to ...tar first.
Might have to concatenate them as well before opening.

I wrote that in sentences 2+3.
Afaik you can only retrieve data (if not encrypted) from apps.
No need to retrieve apps for they can be reinstalled from playstore or f-droid or do I misunderstood you?
Authenticator? dunno what you mean.
