Bonehead Move.... - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I made a stupid mistake... I'm running CM 10.2 and I forgot Superuser was integrated into the ROM and installed it from the Play Store. Now I'm stuck with two Superusers and I can't uninstall the one from the Play Store. I tried disabling it but that broke root.
Any suggestions on how to fix this without a reset?
Thanks!

maybe use adb from the TWRP recovery sideload to uninstall the app from the play store then reinstall root. adb uninstall "package name" command may help
worst case if you have a recent backup of your data, wipe just the data and restore it from the backup.

I couldn't get anything to remove it. *sigh*

I fixed it. What I did:
Used File Manager to navigate to /system/app/ and changed the name of Superuser.apk to Superuser.apk.bak
Re-flashed the nightly I was running (2012-08-21)
Used File Manager to navigate to /system/app/ and delete Superuser.apk.bak
Fixed.

google goggles - what is google doing

???
just tried to load & install newest update of google goggles - install failed "insufficient storage available"....
running CM 4.2.9.1.....
does that mean google goggles "tries" to install itself into internal storage?
does that mean google found a way to circumvent apps2sd?
wtf

I didn't have any issues installing it. It didn't install on my G1's internal storage which currently has 79.52MB available.

weird...
just to check what is going on (whether something really wrong on my side), i installed another app (backgrounds), and the installation went fine.
another person in the market comments reported the same issue

I'd check your A2SD was actually working It might be installing as a system app, I'm not sure, and I don't know if your system apps are in sd\app_s or in system\app.

it gets more weird... i just checked.
even if google goggles wants to install itself into the internal phone storage, there is still 59.73MB free...
i don't get it
question:
did you all try to install the latest update?
I use CM 4.2.9.1 as well and did not have any problems upgrading to Goggles 1.0.1.
Does "adb logcat" report anything interesting?

... that's the first time this happened to me
did a complete reinstall of CM ROM, etc., but still the same problem.
weird
next CM update i will wipe then it may work.
I search the file .apk (goggles 1.0.1). Thanks
I had this issue onCM4.2.9.1 as well but got around it by uninstalling 1.0.0 and installing 1.0.1. It didn't use any internal memory either.

There's your problem. Uninstall Goggles and try installing it again from the Market. If you get the same error, do this:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
rm -rf /data/data/com.google.android.apps.unveil
and then try installing it again.

Can't say for sure, but somehow the permissions on that folder were different from what the app required. This can sometimes happen if you originally install the app manually (e.g. downloaded the APK from somewhere) instead of directly from the Market.
I search apk file (goggles v1.0.1)
This happens to me every once in a while. I usually just reboot and try the install again, and it works.

well i didn't, but i did try to uninstall Amazon MP3 manually (via SU File Management System) - i might have hit the wrong file and messed up the permissions folders...
anyway, it works now
thanks
other people running 4.2.9.1 are seeing the same thing. it isn't google's app.

uninstalling goggles, amazon mp3

i am really new to this and have my phone on kernel 2.6.33.2-cyanogenmod cyanogenmod-5.0.6-n1 build epe54b as of last night and dont know about these commands i see on google. i tried something called terminal but i am really lost on using it. it gives me a denied permission. i might be using it wrong but i dont know if it is what i should use to uninstall these. any help?
you can use Titanium backup to delete the apps...download it from the market and then open the app, go into backup/restore tab, and click on whatever app you want to remove and just un-install
hope this helps
thanks i just loaded that and when i clicked the backup/restore tab nothing shows up...
i think when you first open up Titanium backup, it tells you to hit "Problem" so the busybox can be downloaded and then the app needs to be restarted
so try that first, open the app, click on problem, then it will download something, then restart the app
i have but still no apps. i uninstalled and disablled apps2sd and reinstalling both apps and that worked! thanks for recommending the apps and the replies!!!

Play store doesn't installs apps anymore

Today started to have problems with updating apps from the store.
Seems I can install new app from the store, but not to update...
It says I haven't enough space, but I've 3gb on internal and 22gb on external.
I tried to wipe /data /cache and restore factory version of the store but the problem still happens.
Wiped /cache of google play services too..
Looking around, seems to be releated some odex files in /data/app or /data/app-lib (I'm not sure)
I've also read it's related to Download Manager disabled/freezed (is not my case)
Any ideas? (although I'll think the only solution - and most suggested - is the well known nandroid backup&restore)
Try using modded version of google play

Can't install it as it overwrites the store (which is considered as an installed/upgrading app).
In any case, I've reinstalled the recoveries (stopped to work, red lights a the boot, now works).
I'll do some security backup and then try install patched store.
If I can't use use the app installation method (not enough space), may I can use adb to push the store .apk?
I suggest you to reflash the same gapps package that you flashed when you flashed your ROM.
If you are going to use a new gapps package, pls wipe system, flash ROM and flash gapps again.

Download modded apk, rename to Phonesky.apk, move to /system/app and substitute the existent apk in there(remember to give right permission) and reboot phone
I reset phone in the end as it started to have problems to reading external sdcard (not mounted but in CWM worked) and has became too laggy.

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!

Cannot Remove bloatware on Metro 626s after MM update

I have my desire systemless rooted w/ twrp installed. I have tried several different ways of removing system apps but Everytime I restart EVERY Single app is back like they are an aggressive cancer that will not subdue to chemo. Is Anyone else experiencing this and if not please advise me on your method of removal. Thanks.
Also, Tidbit more info, when I attempt to flash ANY thing in TWRP, the phone stops the flash and IMMEDIATELY restarts into ROM.

Have you tried re flashing twrp ? You can use flashify or rashr from play store to flash the .IMG file
As far as system apps and bloat, I've also had issues removing them. When I use ROM toolbox pro's app manager, a lot of times the app will still be on the list of apps installed even after I've clicked uninstall. But usually the apps are gone once I reboot
I use /system/ app mover *root* from the play store. I covert the system apps to user apps and then uninstall them.
It also shows that in the latest update it might recognize sytemless root.

Why do you convert to user apps first? Could that be the reason why they aren't being removed? Due to some type of broken operation of an app that was meant to be system only?

I do that because I keep some of the apps and also because I haven't had any problems uninstalling apps that way. converting them to user apps also gives me the option to move them to the SD card.
I remember when I used "system app remover(root),"it would still show the app in the app drawer(even after reboot) and when I pressed on them they would say "unfortunately ...has stopped"
I used titanium backup to get rid of all the apps i didnt want,afterwords i went into TWRP and wiped the dalvik cache/ART cache and it rebuild upon first reboot,and all the apps i uninstalled were gone.try this method and let us know.
