FaceBook not installed. Market thinks it is. Need a fix.

So, I had facebook for android installed and recently update to cyanogens latest ad somehow it got deleted. Could have been a theme that removed it, as I didn't notice it until after I applied a theme. The icon was still on my home screen, but not in the app tray and the widget is gone.
Anyway I when into the market and it says its installed, its not and the option to uninstall or open is grayed out.
Any way to fix this?

In order to get it fixed for me I had to go into adb and
Code:
adb shell
rm -r /system/app/com.facebook.katana
rm -r /data/data/com.facebook.katana
exit
adp push Facebook.apk /system/sd/app
The app still didn't work but I was then able to uninstall it in the market and reinstall the market version and it has worked fine.

I get "can not remove /system/app/com.facebook.katana"

The reason you're getting that, is because it doesn't exist in that directory, try the second command, and see if it gives you the same error.

put the apk on sd and try this :
1. Open a Terminal Window:
2. Type the following:
- su
- mount /system -o remount,rw
- cd /sdcard
- cp "appname".apk /system/app

This was my next step, but, don't have the apk. Anyone care to upload it or send me a link?

adb shell
su
busybox rm /data/data
busybox cp -rp /disk/data /data/
busybox rm /data/data.bak
busybox rm -r /disk/data
The first command puts you into the command line on the phone.
the second line gives you root access
the third line removes the soft symlink that we created in the original instructions
the fourth line copies the stuff from your ext partition back to the phone
the fifth line deletes the backup of your original data partition you made
the sixth line deltes the data partition on your ext partition - this is optional step and BE SURE your cp in line four was successful first.
We could alternately just mv the /data/data.bak back to /data (busybox mv /data/data.bak /data/data) after removing the symlink, but that would put your /data/data folder back to where it was before you started, so any app changes you made while residing on ext partition would be lost.
Use the same procedures to undo the market fix stuff.

hey... could you elaborate on that?
thanks,

EDIT: I have found this here:
Code:
adb shell
su -
busybox rm /data/data
busybox rm /system/media
busybox cp -rp /disk/data /data/
busybox cp -rp /disk/media /system/

Am I safe to assume that if I've done a hard reset and flashed a new firmware it will have removed the fix? Or do I still need to undo it?

Don't forget to rm the .bak folder for /system/media.bak if you have it, otherwise you're wasting disk space.

Yes, any new firmware flash should wipe these fixes. However, your ext partition will still have the apps and other stuff on it. Not an issue since you can't use that space without running a lag-fix kernel that mounts it, or you repartition the sdcard.

last question: when I try to rm the data.bak, it tells me: "data.bak is a folder!"... what is that about?

When you did the fix in the first place it backed up the original folder by renaming it to .bak, so it is a folder, it's the original /data/data folder that you had before doing the fix!
You might have to use rm -r to remove it, or to be really safe, just use Root Explorer or the like and delete it.
Pretty easy to screw up your phone if you mistype with the rm or rm -r.

[Q] help needed - factory reset with a broken screen

Hey guys,
i was unable to find a way to do this online, sorry if it's already out there. Link if you know a thread.
My problem is that I just sold my broken phone on ebay and need a way to restore it to factory settings. The AMOLED screen no longer works so i can't see anything. I really don't want my information left on the phone but don't know how to hard reset when I cannot see the screen.
I know how to do this through the bootloader, and will probably try that later this evening, but am not sure if i will be able to confirm the information is off of it. Is there a way to hard reset through connecting the phone via usb?
The phone is rooted and running MIUI mod. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

If you get into recovery (let the phone boot, and then from adb use reboot recovery), you can use the adb shell to go in and do a
Code:
su
rm -rf /data
rm -rf /cache
--and if you are sending the sdcard as well--
rm -rf /sdcard
rm -rf /sd-ext
This will completely wipe your phone except for MIUI. None of your personal data will be on there.
I just realized, you might need to mount those first. I think you can do that with "mount -a".

cache

Anyone know a good task to clean cache when screen turns off? Running cm 13 T-Mobile note 3

I just created one that deletes cache for apps. The only thing is that you have to put the location of each apps cache manually. There is an app that does this, fast cache cleaner. It didn't work on my nexus 6p so I did it manually.
Here is my profile, you can add it remove what ever you need to, to suit your needs.

Nvm. Seems to work. How would I go about cleaning for a specific app?

That's the app.
Make a context when screen turns off.
Next, make action and select code, run shell.
Then type in
rm -r /data/data/name.of.app/cache
If your doing multiple apps put a ; at the end of each line like this.
rm -r /data/data/name.of.app/cache;
rm -r /data/data/name.of.app/cache;

Edit. I put "," in front of com
Lol. Thanks.

Run this as root by shell script:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox find /data/data -type d -iname "cache*" -exec busybox rm -fr {}/ ';'
Does the job for all apps(tested). Test it first in terminal.

Syntax error in exec, should end in ";".
Put space before the last ';'.
Attached the shell script.

Got it, thank you. I was missing the space. So hard to see gap after fwd slash to notice space.

Question Sanity check for an app crashing/not working

Hey all,
I have had a lot of issues since the one UI 4.0 update.
Many apps crash, and some I can't transfer data.
Specifically Another Eden game, when I try to data transfer usinh Facebook it just locks up. Has anyone else ran into that?

Code:
su
rm -r /data/dalvic-cache
rm -r /cache/dalvic-cache
reboot
