How do you uninstall apks? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

So i installed an apk to my galaxy gear using adb, and it didn't work (the apk), and i'd like to uninstall it.
I don't have the gear manager app because my phone didn't link with it so i'm not using it.

Uninstalling

I am trying to uninstall the news and weather widget. The uninstall button is greyed out. I want to install the transparent news and weather but it won't overwrite it either. Any ideas?

What phone do you have and is it rooted?
In some phones/ROMS the GenieWidget (News and Weather) is a system application meaning you need root to change it out.
I have the Droid Eris and it's rooted. I am using Nonsensikal 13.2 froyo. I don't know why I can't get it to uninstall so I can install the transparent version of it.
Try pushing the new GenieWidget using ADB.
Code:
adb push GenieWidget.apk system/app/GenieWidget.apk
Or download titanium and use that to uninstall it. Cake and pie.

Trying Titanium...doing the force remove app but it is trying to install something and reboots my phone but the install for whatever it is trying to install fails. I am not familiar with adb. Hmmmm
Uninstall does not work for system apps. Just delete/overwrite it.

Installing apps with ADB

Hi guys,
Trying to install some modified apps with ADB.
When I run the "adb install Music.apk" command, it stats PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES.
So I assume thats saying it's not signed? Well the apps are from Ultralinx and have worked on other devices fine...
can someone assist me and let me know why they're not working?
Link to app source.

Uninstall the Samsung music app first (and reboot). Music.apk has different certificate than Samsung music app. So you cannot install or install -r it.
Or just install Music Mod from the Market. It is pretty much the same as stock Android music app and can be installed along Samsung app.
Try pushing it to system/app via adb or root explorer. Does the job for me

removing patched playstore

hiya, im not sure im in the right place but i have an issue with the patched playstore. i while ago i installed a custom patch store (the ChelpuS one that you need lucky patcher for) and i was wondering how to uninstall it and return to the original.
Try using titanium backup or root uninstaller if its installed as a system app.
If you just installed an apk, you should just be able to uninstall the usual way: settings- apps- Google playstore- uninstall.

For those having no plug-in error

This is for those that get a No Plug-In error with Samsung Gear Manager on Lollipop (may work with others but not sure):
After countless hours of trying different Gear manager downloads I finally figured out what was wrong with Gear Manager. Apparently Lollipop looks at permissions differently and will fail installs that have duplicate permissions, and installing an app will yield 'App not installed', but wont show why. For me it was the gear1 plugin apk that was failing.
To find out why, I tried through adb with adb install "name".apk and it came back with a duplicate permission error. In my case it turned out to be Gear Tag Writer using a Samsung BT permission. So:
If you have Gear Tag Writer then uninstall it and try your install again.
If not, adb install the apk and see what error comes back and deal with that individual app that is causing this. Afterwards your Gear Manager should install the plugin or you could do it manually and things should work.
This also helped me to get the watch to connect to gear manager on gpe rom for my s4, but not much functionality due to lack of samsung TW apps

[Q] Watchstyler in Gear Manager of non-Samsung Device

I have an Asus Zenfone 2. I've installed the Gear manager and it's apk files (extracted them from the original apk as a Zip file). I managed to connect the Gear to my mobile and even install watchstyler and apply it's watch faces (don't remember if i installed through Samsung store of from an apk file).
Than I got greedy and tried to use a newer Gear manager and it all stopped working. I tried to re-install everything but no matter what I do, I cannot see the watchstyler watch in the gear manager options, so i can't apply a new watchstyler watch face on the gear1.
No matter if I re-install the gear to stock rom (At first i use the awesome null 23), I can't make it work anymore. Now when i install samsung store, i can't see any items in the store (i think this is the real problem, the store recognizes I'm not using Samsung device) so I wan't install the watchstyler through the store. I can connect the gear to my device with the gear manager but can't see the watchstyler watch in the manager.
Any ideas how to solve this problem? I think that one of the best things in the gear are the watch faces
Thanks
version JDQ39.V700XXUAMK7
Manager version 1.6.111801
I've tried installing other watch face apps (as apk) that I had in the past. I forgot to pair my device with the watch and got a message that the installation failed and will be complete after i pair the two. So it seems that maybe all these apps need to install something in the watch itself but can't for some reason. Any ideas?
Which version of gear manager were you using before?
