Is there an app like Revo Uninstaller for Android.

I was just browsing the /sdcard/ directory on my captivate and I noticed several directories belonging to applications that were previously uninstalled.
This reminds me of Windows where uninstalling a program leaves a little or a lot of junk behind (registry keys, dll, etc) depending on how poorly the uninstall routine was written.
Enter Revo Uninstaller which scans your hd looking for all that stuff that the program left behind.
Is there a similar app for Android?

Ya, i'm also looking any similar to this. Anyone help much appreciated.

Not that I know of. Bad part is, you must be rooted to delete most of that stuff. So the average user can have a ton of unwanted crap that only a factory reset will get rid of.
-Figured i needed a signature for my phone. This is it.

I know this is a very old thread but I am searching for this right now too, or does the build in installer of android also scan for left over files?

Nope, it leaves tons of crap behind. Folders that the apk created with all the junk the app put in them.

Do you know an alternative uninstaller which does not leave this junk behind?

Words With Friends issue

So when I go to play WWF, I always get something that should be an ad popping up. However, as I have an ad blocker all it shows is a URL. I have no way of getting it to go away and if it does go away another on pops up. I'm running CoreDroid 1.6 on NAND but its been happening once 1.5. Any help?

I think that we need to replace the host file since that is the file that Ad - Free messes with to block ads.

iPhone location log - Android edition

Well, as most of us probably heard iOS saves your location data in a plain text file... Well android does that too. Read more here: http://thenextweb.com/google/2011/0...iphone-android-stores-your-location-data-too/
Your file are stored in /data/data/com.google.android.location/files/cache.cell
Personally, i dont care. Differences between Apple and Google policies are really big, just read the provided article and decide by yourself.

Hmmmm nice to know, is it ok to delete the file? And if so will a new log be created after that has been deleted?

Back it up first. And yes probably a new one will be created.

There are 2 differences between the way Apple/iOS saves locations and how Android does it. First of all, Android will only save the last 50 gps fixes and the last 200 wifi fixes. Second of all, it only does so if you agree to it (Settings > Location and security > "Use wireless networks"). Where as iOS/iPhone logs all fixes and does so without the user even knowing about it.

I think it is okay, as long as you have another files in other system so that you can be sure that it will not deleted permanently.

Hi,
Same problem as him but I have a Nexus one and I did not have a deleted app like him.
Thanks.

I experience the same thing (intermittently), but only when connected to Bluetooth in my car. Anyone else connected to Bluetooth while this happens?
OS: Cyanogenmod 7.1 (haven't noticed it happen since updating to 7.2)

It might be helpful if you provide more info. What ROM? What's your setup e.g are you using s2e or similar etc. You might get more replies if you help the helpers

Seriously? Did you read my post?
No s2e (if that was even relevant, and I used it I would have mentioned that).

Dependent on the apps you installed? Can you name the apps related to call settings you installed?

Snapchat Micro

So I've seen many "announced" apps for the Gear however on my Gear paired with my GS3 I've yet to see many of these programs. In specific the Snapchat Micro application which one of my colleagues has on her Gear paired with the Note 3. So my question is, are some apps locked to the Note 3 enabled Gears or is there something wrong with my device. Secondly, if someone else has the apk for Snapchat Micro could you please post the program. It may be helpful to have a repository of links for Gear applications on here for those in my situation with limited Samsung App access. Thanks.

I've connected the Gear with Galaxy Note 3, then I ported all gear application including the watch faces as the attached txt file.

I'm using Gear with my Galaxy S4

I have the note 3 and the app on my phone has to be opened as well. Not every time. As long as it's running in the background the gear app will work. It's the way it was made for some stupid reason.

If you need the apk, check link in my sig

Thanks!
Awesome I appreciate the quick responses and access to your collection of gear apks odawg1022!

I have no issues using the Snapchat gear app . I am able to take pictures and send to friends without having to open the original snapchat app on my phone.
Never changed any settings to have this work for me. Good luck!

The apk for snapchat micro is not in the n700 folder under apps ( in the link of your sig), is it somewhere else? If it is no longer in the folder would you (or anybody else that has it ) mind reposting it or Pm-info me the link. Thanks
