[Q] Lost my Note FM Radio App

Dear All
I used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze both FM Radio app( the stock app) and the installed Accue weather app to stop them from keep them running in the background and eating memory , and I thought that when I need to run them I just hit the app to run, (this is what I thought and do not know if this is correct or no!!)
So I found that both apps are disappeared from my note, so I went to Titanium to defrost them. but after a success defrost I did not find them, so I made a restart and did find them, so I tried to make a restore but I did not find the FM Radio in the apps list since I did not made a backup for it, so how I can get it back
and also I made a restore for accue weather app but I did not find it after the restore
What is wrong

U on stock rom ? If you want i can put up the TiB files for you and you can put them in your sd card and restore using TiB. Also remember to push the app as a system app otherwise they wont work.
Cheers! Enjoy your Note.
Hit thanks if it helped!

It may be due to incompatibility of TB versions. If that is the case, do a power defrost of ALL frozen apps -> Go to batch, power defrost, reboot your device. After that you can manually freeze your unwanted apps one by one.

Idid the power defrost, and I found them back, thanks
Now , was what I did right but the results were wrong because of incompatibility of TB versions, how usually the freeze feature works?

Nothing wrong on your part. It is TB's issue between updates and that is how to tackle the problem. From now on you can normally freeze/defrost your apps.

thanks for your replay, I mean is it normal that when you freeze an app it will be disappears from the apps drawer? i tried now another app for a test and found that after freeze it disappeared, so how I can stop any app from working in the background but I can run it when I want only?

Yes, it is normal. As far as I know you can't stop any app from working in the background, unless you can find that option within the app itself.

so freeze is like delete the app without uninstall it, and when you want it back you just defrost it

Exactly. It will stop the app running in the background or even foreground. Always remember to check what you are freezing. If you freeze any system app which is required by system or some other app then the system or that app will start giving you force closes.

[Q] Google Maps constantly crashing after JB update

Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can help so I dont have to do a factory reset.
After upgrading to 4.1.2 through Samsung, Google maps won't run and the service constantly crashes, freezing the phone for up to a minute at a time.
Looking at aLogCat, I see
Activity Manager warnings abount com.google.android.apps.maps crashing too many times,
and a Fatal signal 11 (SIGSERV) for droid.apps.maps.
I can't uninstall Google Maps (no option to from the application manager), and I can't even find it in the play store.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Try clearing it's data, also uninstall all updates and then update it.

Thanks, but no good...

Thanks for your reply
Not sure how to rollback... from app management i only have force-stop and disable, no uninstall or roll-back.
Tried clearing the data + cache already. no good.
Would like to keep the phone unrooted for security purposes.
Would hate to factory reset or change mod and re-install all my apps, contacts etc.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

without root its not possible to uninstall stock apps
1.root ur device and uninstall map app using Titanium Backup Application and reinstall Maps from the store
2. then flash stock kernel ( device will be unroot)

Cannot Remove bloatware on Metro 626s after MM update

I have my desire systemless rooted w/ twrp installed. I have tried several different ways of removing system apps but Everytime I restart EVERY Single app is back like they are an aggressive cancer that will not subdue to chemo. Is Anyone else experiencing this and if not please advise me on your method of removal. Thanks.
Also, Tidbit more info, when I attempt to flash ANY thing in TWRP, the phone stops the flash and IMMEDIATELY restarts into ROM.

Have you tried re flashing twrp ? You can use flashify or rashr from play store to flash the .IMG file
As far as system apps and bloat, I've also had issues removing them. When I use ROM toolbox pro's app manager, a lot of times the app will still be on the list of apps installed even after I've clicked uninstall. But usually the apps are gone once I reboot

I use /system/ app mover *root* from the play store. I covert the system apps to user apps and then uninstall them.
It also shows that in the latest update it might recognize sytemless root.

Why do you convert to user apps first? Could that be the reason why they aren't being removed? Due to some type of broken operation of an app that was meant to be system only?

I do that because I keep some of the apps and also because I haven't had any problems uninstalling apps that way. converting them to user apps also gives me the option to move them to the SD card.
I remember when I used "system app remover(root),"it would still show the app in the app drawer(even after reboot) and when I pressed on them they would say "unfortunately ...has stopped"

I used titanium backup to get rid of all the apps i didnt want,afterwords i went into TWRP and wiped the dalvik cache/ART cache and it rebuild upon first reboot,and all the apps i uninstalled were gone.try this method and let us know.

KINGROOT deleted vital components and apps

Hey,
TL;DR KINGROOT deleted vital apps and components on Vivo XL, what do I do?
So I wanted to root my Vivo XL so I could delete bloatware.
Used KINGROOT, which worked. It said it didn't work, rebooted my phone and I had root. I used KINGROOT to delete most Google apps plus Opera browser, nothing vital. It actually froze them and I proceeded to delete them with Link2SD.
I reboot my phone and it's slow idk why I'm assuming it's the Chinese KINGROOT doing shady things to my phone. I then reboot my phone several minutes later after doing idk what and I'm greeted with a bug that carefree launcher is experiencing an error.
I freak out a little then use the task switch button, see that I had Play Store open, switch to it and install nova launcher.
All seems good but all of a sudden many apps don't work. Puffin, Gmail, Waze all crash on opening. I look with Link2SD and I realize apps that came with the phone are missing.
I try to switch to Super SU using several methods, none worked and I am not rooted now.
I believe I can root again using KINGROOT. But before I try that again I wanted to ask you folks: what should I do?

Forgot to mention, I cannot install apk files, I cannot uninstall apps, the apps section in settings isn't functioning properly. I can only install and delete through the Play Store

flash it

Do this:
drivermobi.zone/2016/08/how-to-flashing-update-blu-vivo-xl-via.html
Get the ROM from here:

Question Can't uninstall Nova Launcher? Help!

Hi everyone,
I've just flashed a new Mi 11 with the EU rom running MIUI 12 & android 11.
I've installed Nova and now I can't remove it!
The normal method of long press in the icon gives the menu 'share /app info/uninstall' but hitting uninstall just removes the icon for second and then it's back.
In settings I've force stopped it and cleared all data but there's no uninstall option.
I've gone the Store route and that just says is has to be deactivated but the option isn't in settings!
I've checked under Security > Authorization and Nova not listed (if that's the right place to look?)
I've tried to uninstall it with adb and that fails with 'Delete_failed_device_policy_manager'.
The main problem I have with it, is it's dock won't disable. The toggle to switch it on/off in setting doesn't do anything, so it's there on every launcher I install and on the stock launcher.
can anyone please suggest how I get rid of it?
Many thanks.

OK, finally fixed it.
Needed to disable it's admin access.
