Can't reinstall app after removal using root explorer - Desire General

Hi,
This might be a quick one.
I removed Doc2Go from the system partition using root explorer.
I however want it back now and have a updated version. Now the problem is everytime I install, I have a question asking whether I want to overwrite the previous installation (which was already removed), I then get the following message "Application not installed".
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Try uninstalling it on titanium backup and than reboot

Thanks. Tried it, but still the same thing. Do I need to manually edit the package.xml file?

Removing Sprint App from Rooted 2.2?

Newbie Question: Can I just remove the Sprint apk file I don't want from \System\App folder using Root Explorer or would this cause the phone to error out? If this is not the correct way let me know right way to remove unwanted sprint apps. Thanks.
Try using titanium backup from the market, worked for me.

if you're curious about which you can remove, check out this thread

So from what everyone is saying I'm assuming just removing the apk files should do the trick.

How do I reinstall stock apps?

I was using titanium backup to uninstall some system apps. and I accidentally uninstalled teeter. is there anyone who can help me reinstall this protected system app? I need to return the phone to my friend in a few days time.
I was coming from the point of view that I have a backup and can restore in the event of stupidity.
Today's lesson is - Don't mess with your friend's stuff
This should fix it...
-Find a Sense ROM from the Development section.
-Read the 1st post to make sure Teeter hasn't been removed.
-Download ROM to your PC.
-Open it with WinZip, WinRAR, 7zip etc
-Browse to \system\app\
-Locate Teeter.apk
-Copy to your PC and then move to phone SD card.
-Got to Market on phone and download ES File Explorer (or any app installer)
-Re-install Teeter.apk
Report back how you get on
Install failed. It says something about the app being a
system file.

Are you rooted, either perm or temp?
If you used temp root to get Titanium working then run Visionary to get temp root again and then try to install Teeter.
Yup i permrooted wth visionary. Reinstalling doesnt work.
I read in another post about directly copying the apk to /system/app/ then restarting. I am doing this now. Hope this works.

If you aren't S-OFF you can't write data to the /system partition, titanium uses an exploit to force the DHD to overwrite the app from recovery, and in that case my friend you are scr***d
Somehow i was able to write to /system/apps/ so i copied the apk and rebooted the phone. After restart i used titanium backup to restore. And teeter is back. Thanks for all the help.

hi
even i did something foolish like this lol
but i deleted the htcclockwidget.apk (i was trying to delete the htc lock apk)
i had a previous backup of it so i wrote it to system/apps and changed the permissions to rw-r--r--. however when i go to personalize/widgets i cant find the clock widget there.
ive tried reflashing another sense rom (leedroid 1.4.1) but tht hasnt helped either...
i tried flashing a theme wich had the htclockscreen.apk but tht also didnt work
i tried fixing permissions in cwn but still tht doesnt work
wat can i do to get the clock widget back??
i dont have a recent nandroid backup either
EDIT: got it working again.... .i went to manage applications, then htc sense and clear data.... all my shortcuts and mods on the homescreens went but i got the widgets working again
I need some stock apps anybody ever made a backup of their stock apps? (and is willing to share?)

[Q] Titanium will not update or uninstall (fixed)

So for the past few weeks I have not been able to get titanium to update, I went to uninstall and it fails to uninstall. Anyone with any ideas? I know I could wipe but my last backup I was already having titanium problems, and it's not worth starting from scrach for one program. Maybe someone knows how to delete manually could help me out that way? I am using the donate ver. Thanks for whatever info you guys can lay on me.
Oddly, my Titanium has had a problem a few times, lately, where it won't do a back up or restore. You select one or the other, and it just switches to the list of apps.
I noticed that clearing data in Application Manager seems to fix the problem, but I hope the dev for this app figures out a fix soon.
Anyhow, you can remove it via Root Explorer, reboot, then reinstall it.
Uninstalling it will not remove your backups.
I was going to remove with rootexplore but what files do I need to delete and keep?

Don't forget trying to update busy box. That has solved a few titanium problems for me in the past.

It should be in /system/app/
or do a search for titanium and remove whatever comes up
Thanks for the help guys. I did try updating busybox, that didn't fix it.
I deleted files in the app folder, that didn't help. Then i used the search in root explorer deleted only files that were not on my SD card. Re-booted, installed titanium (install worked this time) went to market and was able to download and update. So all is good. Thanks again guys!

[Q] Kindle 6.3.1 Super User problem

Hello,
I have rooted my phone using the XDA suggested app. I have installed SuperUser but no apps are asking for permission to join the superuser app. Also the apps that I have (a file app like file explorer) that has the option to enable root, fails. I am trying to add the Google play store but it says "force close" everytime I try to launch it. I know that my problem is that I do not have the vending.apk in the correct directory but without the ability to write to my app folder I can't do anything... PLEASE HELP!

[Q] Can't install facebook app (Playstore error -24)

I reverted to rooted knox free stock firmware N7100XXUEML6 on my Note 2. I then had to re-root the rom using Dr. Ketan's Multitool.
Now, i have installed every app, but when it comes to installing facebook or viber, the playstore gives me error -24. I looked up forums and found that the problem would be solved if i deleted the app folder in /data/data. The folders i am supposed to delete are com.facebook.katana and com.facebook.orca.
But whenever i use root explorer to delete the folder, it fails to delete the folder. I have also tried using Aroma file manager in Dr. Ketan's multitool and the phone hung. I then tried terminal emulator using the delete command but it gives me an IO file error.
What am I missing? How do i get through it? Because a facbook-free phone is pissing me off!

Alright, i solved it finally... for those searching to do so, go to /data/data/folder you want, and rename it to something like com.backup.1.
This thing will allow u to install the application! Toodles!
