[Solved] How to stop Google Maps 7.4 reinstalling on reboot? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to permanently get rid of Google Maps 7.4 from my HTC One (rooted) and go back to version 6.14.4. I'm running Android 4.4 / Sense 5.5, so I can't use the "factory rollback" method.
I tried the following:
1. Disable "auto update" for Maps in Google Play
2. Uninstall Maps 7.4 with Titanium Backup
3. Install Maps 6.14.4 from the APK file
This works... until I restart the phone. Then 7.4 is immediately back again. Is this to do with the NAND protection on the HTC One? How can I make the change permanent?

Solved... the stock kernel is write protected. Although mounting /system as read+write seems to work, it actually doesn't. You have to install a non-protected kernel, such as BulletProof. Make sure you choose the one that matches your Android and Sense versions. Copy the ZIP to your HTC One, boot into recovery, install zip and reboot... then use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer to delete /system/app/GMS_Maps.apk and /system/app/GMS_Maps.odex. No more Maps 7.x! Thanks nkk71 for the tip.

It would be helpful if you could tell us:
1) Which ROM you used to get to 2.2
2) What happens when you try to install an app? Step by step, the actions you take and the result
3) Any error messages, codes, or other details that might help
I also could not install apps
I had the same problem. Here are the details:
1. ROM n1-Sh0t with kernal and new keyboard
2. Applications that would not install:
a) Nitrodesk Touchdown
b) MyTracks
I cannot give you much detail. I tried to install from copies on my sd card and just got a message that the app would not install. I also downloaded from the web using market and got the same message. The apps would download but would not install.

I was flash yesterday with this rom
1.Step_One_Froyo_Radio_Update
2.RoDrIgUeZsTyLe_FroYo_MCR_R16_MOD_V1-6_ROM
after this, I did well all with this rom (included install app to ext)
but..this morning I was reboot my N1,all app I install to ext cannot read anymore (lost icon at all )
then I cannot install any app again...(messanges show installing now.....long time but cannot complete)
I have the same problem, I can't install any apps. Not from the market and not apk-files from a file browser. It just keep saying 'Installing...'
I was on [email protected] MCR Mod Rom V1.7 and everything worked fine.
Then I tried out Kang-o-rama Froyo and that's when the problem started. I did a complete wipe before installing. I did a recovery, but when I was back on my nandroid recovery I could still not install any apps.
Went back to a stock 2.1 I had on my memory card and then I could install apps. But when going to 2.2 again I still can't install any apps.
I was install RoDrIgUeZsTyLe_FroYo_MCR_R16_MOD_V1-7__FIX rom
also try "n1-sh0t" rom
and then I try to install another app...but I cannot complete install at all
then I click “Dev Tools" (in laucher) \ Development setting
I got this message =
The application Dev Tools (process com.android development)
has stopped unexpedly.Please try again.
what's wrong with this...
can any one help me up..thank you
(sorry about my poor english)
then I go back to 2.1 rom,it run very well
So I deleted the '.android_secure' folder on my sdcard and did a recovery, now I can install apps again.

External means that you're installing your apps on the sdcard. (They are installed in the '.android_secure' folder) If any widgets or apps that need root would be installed on the sdcard you should move them to the phone. You can do that by go in to 'settings' >> 'applications' >> 'manage aplications' and find that app, press it, and in its settings you can move it.
Anyways to your problem: The reason why you can't see some apps are because you're running LauncherPro as your home app. You can just kill it and press home so it will re-launch and then you should see your apps again. You might have to do that from time to time after you have rebooted your phone.

[Q] cant install Swype on Samsung Gal S anymore?

Ok so I uninstalled the swype using titanium backup, then download the newer version from here:
getandroidstuff.com/2010/08/swype-keyboard-in-19-languages-for.html
Then using both the default file manager and astro to install but even after the uninstallation and a reboot and I cant seem to see swype anywhere in the phones installed app list, it still say "Replace application, the app you are installing will replace another app" How can it replace something that isnt there. And after the installation is done, it said "application not installed". There is no swype under my "text and locale" setting either. tried both the HVGA and WVGA version, same thing. Any idea? :/

Swype is a system app, it can't be removed so easily. You have to remove /system/app/Swype.apk, then remove /data/data/com.android.inputmethod.swype (if it's there, maybe titanium removes it) .
Then you copy your downloaded apk to /system/app renamed to Swype.apk and only then try to install it, from the downloaded folder.
ok thanks, I just needed to change the name of the file to simply swype.apk for it to work
we need a better way than FW updates to update Swype and a very manual process, am I missing something?
I followed the instructions given above, tried with both of the swype versions mentioned above and a newer version (Swype_v2_6_47_11856).
The installation goes without any problems, however once I select swype as input method it goes haywire and needs to be force closed every 10 seconds.
I'm using Android 2.2 (Froyo)
Do I need to use a different method to install Swype?
And which version of swype might be best to use?
I wanted to install it because Swype does come with a Russian alphabet version.
titanium backup will let you integrate any new version of Apps that is already installed in ROM back into the ROM
Cool, thanks !!
One snag though, I deleted the old version of swype like explained in the second message.....how can I fix that first?
the newer swype version will make a forced close after boot because u did not cut the libswype.so (or st like that) from your /system/lib/ folder when you removed your stock swype version. I had the same problem before and solved it by just removing that file by cutting and pasting it into another folder for backup.
You have to remove system/lib/libswypecore.so
After that, just push the new swype.apk to /system/app
and then push the new libswypecore.so to /system/lib
Edit: Or flash with CWM ;D
Assistance required please:
I deleted the original Swype and then have downloaded WVGA 2.10.52.13753. I've deleted /system//lib/libswypecore and then run the SWYPE SVGA 2.10.XXXX.apk.
When I then try to use it I get the message "The application Swype (process com.swype.android.input mehod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
After switching teh phone off and back on, I still get this continuously.
I am running my SGS on 2.2 which is Froyo .XXJPO with root and OCLF. What am I missing?
I also note that niXXoz talks about pusing, what is this? I've tried copy and paste but when I get up to the lib and app level the paste option disappears. Could be completely inconsequential but thought I'd ask.
Really look forward to any help that you can lend.
Thanks

[Q] New Android Market crashing, unable to install old one

Hi Everyone,
Looking for help for an issue, I installed the new android market and was messing around with Titanium Backup (forgot to backup the app, dumb me!) anyway I tried to uninstall the new market to go back to the old one but when I did this the market app is gone from the manage apps area. My phone is a N1, running 2.3.4 and rooted, this what I have tried:
- Install the old market manually from a downloaded vending.apk, not working crashes to .com.android.vending every time
- After this I went to look in the /system/app folder for vending.apk and the app is not there, neither I am unable to copy the app using Droid Explorer or Root explorer, it says it is coping the app but is not there
- Re-install gingerbread update again to see if it gets the app back, did not work, still not in system/app folder
Does anyone know why I am unable to copy the vending.apk to the system/app folder? the phone is rooted but still can-t
Thanks!
If you're having problems with root permissions, try using ROM Manager to fix permissions. Another possibility could be busybox, so I recommend installing the version with Titanium backup (under the Problems? section of the menu).
Updating the market can be tricky, but I always find wiping data from Google Services Framework and (use app manager) Market (easier to use Titanium), and rebooting helps. Make sure you reboot before trying to use the Market...
I didn-t know about the Fix Permissions feature of ROM manager, I tried it and it work, I can now place the file on the system/app folder.
Thanks a lot!

Cant install Google Map 6.0 in ICS

guys, i am using super ics in my i9023. but Cant install Google Map 6.0 in ICS. i have wiped data and uninstalled maps with titanium backup and then tried to install maps 6.0 but it says install failed. tried many times but same result. any idea what happened? cheers
This is the latest gapps.zip (I think) with latest maps and music, but doesn't have wallet.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47770734/gapps.zip
I use koush's gapps @ http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip (includes google wallet)
1. Use Titanium backup and convert google maps to a user app (long press maps)
2. market doctor -> deselect all -> find google maps -> doctor that
3. uninstall google maps
4. download google maps
.... and it'll work.
Can't find market doctor on the market
When I try to update I just get an error
Edit I see its an option in titanium but I'm scared to delete because I'm thinking that error will pop back up has anyone done this with success
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!

same here, exact issue
no good maps/gps and can't uninstall and reinstall(DL) from market
maybe a cache issue?
Use the following commands with adb installed...
adb remount
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Maps.apk
pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
reboot
The issue, I think, lies with ICS
No other roms have this issue for me
I changed to pico from google tts--no issues

in most ROMs the lib files needed for google tts are missing. Just add them and google tts will work.
tried it--didn't work

Anyone ever figure this out? I tried this method, but Maps doesnt show up in Market Doctor when you run it.
UPDATE: nevmind. I think you need to select "Detach from Market" as well, for it to show up in Market Doctor.
ALSO, this doesnt work either. I followed the instructions and it just reverts to the factory 5.11 maps, and then gives error when you update.
I followed the steps and got Maps 6.0.
But I didn't liked it much, force closes like mad, reverted back to 5.0.1 now

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.

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!
