[Q] Medscape app uninstall and cleanup

I tried posting this in the app and themes forum but had no luck, I have an issue with the Medscape app. I wasn't able to update the library so I uninstalled the app and manually deleted the library files from me Medscape folder, later I learned that the update problem was because of the adblock app. I solved that and tried to reinstall Medscape, so far so good. When I try to re install the library files, the app tells me theres no update available (???) and it shows the current files as if they are installed, but the folder is still deleted and when I try to look up something in the database, nothing comes up.
Is there a way to wipe completely the Medscape db registry so I can do clean install?
Thanks a lot

I had the exact same problem and I wasn't able to solve it... Only a factory reset did it...
I'm not root but if you are root go to /data folder and delete medscape info from that. I think it might work.
The problem is that you deleted the Mescape folder from your SD card but it contains a database file (maybe the index of articles) so anything you search returns nothing!
The solution would be to delete that old account information and data, and I think it resides in the /data folder but I can't confirm that because I'm not root.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. Nothing related to medscape on the /data folder. I'll keep looking or I'll clean install when I flash Gingerbread

Having similar Medscape problem, this time I cannot delete Medscape pics/icons in my Gallery. Practically FC's whenever I try to open.
These are .PNG files - is there a trick to delete these?
===
UPDATE: I discovered that I could delete one of the PNG pics in the Gallery folder but not delete a second one - the Gallery app would freeze. It actually required a power ON/OFF to "reset" the gallery folder (whose ("number of files") did show that the pic was indeed deleted) and permit me to delete another image. For some reason, as I was fiddling with the FILES app, a Medscape folder popped up (it hadn't appeared before) and it had hundreds of low-kb files in it, including the PNGs. Luckily I was able to delete this Medscape folder without a hitch... other than the 2 minutes it took to actually delete. And wouldn't you know it: my Epic is running faster than ever. What is in that Medscape app I wonder...

My issue is another,
I m using SG2 rooted, i removed my ad blocker and re install Medscape.
So i finaly managed to start instaling the resaurces .... the resaurces started from 1 of 24 ...and downloading ...
Is it logical to keep downloading ...after the 24 ... has been downloaded already?
for example 34 of 24 ...and keep going??

Hi!
I've a problem when trying to update my Medscape app. When I try to get ref updates, it suddently appears: "Not able to complete download at this time"
I've read this post , where they speak about ad blocking apps causing this problem, however I'm using cyanogenmod CM11 M12, without any apps of this kind, more over, I searched for Hosts file, and when I open it, there's only this line: "127.0.0.1 localhost". I don't know what else to do, I've tried unistalling the app, cleaning all data before so, In deed, I've also tried to do a clean install of CM11 M12, with no luck.
Wish you could help me!

ARRGGHHH, I can't seem to install anything

I'm running fear V10 and I can't seem to install anything anymore. After running the .apk and selecting install I get the message 'Application not installed'. If the app is labeled with the full name, like uk.co.ashtonbrsc.catchthatbus.apk I can push it to my data/apps folder reboot and it's installed. I've tried fixing permissions in CWM in desperation. I just don't know what else to do other than a wipe and reinstall which I don't really want to do (Obviously). Anybody got any suggestions for me.
Ohh I've also tried unmounting both internal and external sdcards, but thats still the same.
Some market place apps return the error 'Unknown reason-110' if that helps anybody

Read my post here and follow the link see if that helps,
It worked for me

[Fixed] Screwed up motorola.blur.providers.contacts

Tried to view one of my contacts and got a FC on Contacts Storage (motorola.blur.providers.contacts). Do not know whether this has ever worked. Have had this Bionic for a couple days and froze a bunch of Motorola ****. The list isn't very long and I can provide that if necessary, but I'm just assuming this is what has caused my Contacts issue.
On to the actual issue, I uninstalled Contacts Storage (using Titanium Backup) and was going to reinstall it from the backup, but TB just hangs.
Tried all three different "App Processing modes" in TB and it hangs on restore regardless of this setting.
Extracted the apk out of Titanium Backup folder and tried to run it manually and it won't go (using ES File Explorer, mounted System as R/W).
Tried moving it to /system/app/ and running it (still mounted R/W) and it fails.
Will restoring ONLY "System" fix my problem and not delete all my other data that I've been busy setting up? Is there even a way to restore only System, using that FXZ?
If I can just chill and not worry about it until they come out with Clockworkmod Recovery, how do I make a flashable zip with just Contacts Storage in it?
Edit: Tried installing with adb and it fails with Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]. I see other apps in the /system/app folder have .odex files with them. Am I just missing this one for the contacts (did it get removed by TB?)?
Edit: Got the .odex file from here and it still fails trying to install via Root Explorer.
Edit: Installation via adb with NO switches fails with Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]
Installation via adb with /l switch to Forward Lock it fails with Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
That Forward Lock one was a little past my point of not knowing what the hell I'm doing, so I will just chill and wait for a response. Thanks!
Edit: FXZ'd back to stock, installed CWM Recovery, backed up, restored Data only from the damaged instance via CWM Recovery, wiped cache. Everything is great and I didn't lose any data! Just had to get a fresh /system/ in there...

The application Gallery (process com.cooliris.media) has stopped unexpectedly

This is so annoying,
I have tried everything I could find online,
I removed the SD card to eliminate that as an option related to a corrupt image/ card.
I cleared Gallery the data under manage applications.
With ES file explorer
I deleted the com.cooliris.media folder multiple times
I renamed all dirs to hide them from the Gallery indexing.
Example renamed “DCIM” to ”.DCIM”
I opened and examined the file chunk_0 in
/com.cooliris.media/cache/local-album-cache
I was hoping i could see how far or were it crashed by the last dir it indexed.
After hiding all the dirs. I got it to this.
Data in “chunk_0(this file will grow as dirs are scanned and files are found)” opened in a hex editor.
..US..en............./...........4.......4...........b..intro..video/mp4.......................4.........O.{.....O.u...w..............:.............../
Not sure if this is a hit on what is crashing the gallery?

I'm guessing a factory reset didn't work either?

Have not done that, dont want to reconfigure the phone from scratch.
I always like to know the root of the real issue. seems kind of common.

I never use Gallery. Ever. So I wouldn't have an exact idea why it was going crazy.
Are you rooted and do you have Titanium Backup Free/Pro?
If so, back up the gallery app. Then delete it from the /system.
Restart your phone and restore the Gallery app and make it a system app again.

its rooted and i have Titanium Backup Pro.
i did not know you can delete the gallary.
I did download another gallery like app for now.
but i may give that a try.

Yeah. Wipe the data first then uninstall it.

i made the back up of the gallery, uninstalled it, when i try to recover/install it from the back up the phone stays in an install loop.
I have to reboot the phone.
now i deleted it how do i reinstall it?
I have gallery apk from the backup and the original is still under /system/app/com.cooliris.media.apk
when run the apk i get an error, application not installed.
I tried to use adb with no luck.

any pointers?

Follow the exact steps.
Open Titanium Backup
Wipe Gallery data (From Titanium Backup)
Uninstall Gallery (From Titanium Backup)
Restart phone
Restore App of Gallery (From Titanium Backup)
Restart phone
Try using gallery

I don’t think titanium is an option now.
as it never finishes installing. i let it go all night.
The Gallery has been deleted and i only have the option to restore. My only options are to restore App only or App+Data. both don’t finish.
so i have been reading you can force/push installs. i must be doing something wrong as it seems a restriction is preventing the other install methods,
at this point the only reason i care is i cant view images in 3d.

maybe it not 100% uninstalled? could have been an issue with how Titanium removed it.
if the os thinks its still there it wont install over it.

crap i created file called "\" now they systems treats it like a dir. i cant delete it
this is how i created it...fat fingered
F:\~droid\root backup restore files\SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse\ADB>adb push c
om.cooliris.media.apk /system/app/\
ES file Explorer shows it as a 447.91kb file the same size as the com.cooliris.media.apk file...
if select delete in ES i starts to tally the root dir as if it will delete everything under "system"
I guess it can stay ....
I am still trying to get com.cooliris.media.apk to reinstall. will i see any installing action once i reboot the phone after pushing it?
I dont see any sign of it installing other than it appearing in the apps dir.
how does push really work should the Os install any apk in the app dir if missing?

No you won't. Do you have root explorer?

no,
does ES file Exploer work the same way?

I've never used it. Does ES File Explorer have root permissions?

this is just getting a annoying if the app is under /system/app
more or less thats it right? what would stop it from being seen by the phone...
been messing with the thing for hours.
then its crap i cant restore the gallery backup i made with out titanium get stuck...

yes i can hit any dir like system, and it can change all attributes.
I have been using it now to move files from my pc over the wifi and network shares.
I can have app.apk on my pc see it on the network with ES, and copy it to /system/app

i put a another version of gallery from another phone i found online in /system/app
after a reboot it showed up. not sure it thats a real sign as i can manual run and install it if i wish.
also this does no good in the long run as you cant view photos in 3d, as they are displayed side by side in this version of gallery.
maybe i need a fresh copy if the lg thrill gallery?

ok i found a ver of gallery from a custom cooked rom posting.
it shows up now,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309114&highlight=gallery
but it still crashes like the original one did at the start of all this lol....
atleast i can view my pictures in 3d again.
i dont know what is causing the crash, but what causes it is at the end of scanning all the images. the more picutes i have the longer it takes to crash.
if i have zero images it crash instantly.
I guess my backup of the original gallery is corrupt?

That's what it seems. Do a titanium backup of all your used apps and reflash or factory reset?

[Q] File browser crashes when trying to change permissions.

Whenever i try to change file permissions in any file browser on my ace after i apply them and grant access with superuser it just crashes and shows a screen that says the program has stopped unexpectedly.
I've already tried 'fix permissions' in the CWM Recovery but still no luck.
Anyone know a fix for this?
Im using the Miracle V4 custom rom

...is the file browser which fc? or which app?
If the app that you are changing the permissions is running, It's normal that It fc, so you can go to settings > apps and force close manually it before change their permissions, It should work
If you want to change permissions of apps as systemui, statusbar, phone, contacts, framework-res etc IT'S NORMAL THAT THEY FC BEACAUSE THEY ARE RUNNING CONSTANTLY, you'll need to do it via cwm
