So starting yesterday, I am met with an error screen after launching Words with Friends.
At first I see the main screen of the game, but then in flicks to the screenshot you see and won't load the game properly.
I've tried rolling back my WWF update, as well as stopping and uninstalling AdFree.
No dice. Any ideas?

looks like your host file may be the problem? The highlighted blue text looks like a url for trying to grab an ad Try backing up the /system/etc/hosts file then replace it with one that just has the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
I'm just guessing though
I had the same problem. Running AdFree, I used the revert option and it rolled back the host file. I no longer get that popup. But the Ads show at the bottom of the screen now :/

i actually completely uninstalled AdFree for the time being. I am still getting this problem intermittently.
Could some of the options used by AdFree still be saved and running even though the physical app isn't present?

Yes. Did you try resetting the hosts file like was suggested?
This isn't a CM issue. This is an AdFree issue.
I can't even get words with friends to open for more then 2 seconds on my evo with cm7 without force closing
so be happy

^^ this is what you'll want to do.
use Root Explorer or adb (if you've got it) and go to /system/etc/hosts
If you're on adb, a quick check for your specific problem would be
Code:
#cat /system/etc/hosts | grep mydas
(the grep section will single out this one host)
If you get anything back, your problem is AdFree. It may be uninstalled but your hosts file is still messed up (which is how AdFree works). Back up hosts file with:
Code:
# cp /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.old
and then reset your hosts file:
Code:
# cat 'localhost 127.0.0.1' > /system/etc/hosts
that should get you squared away

Hi all,
I've been having an issue for a while on CM7.1.0 (stable) where, whenever I uninstall applications, their icon shows up as a grey image in my Settings->Applications->Manage Applications.
Take a look at this screenshot and you will see what it looks like...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This happens with both applications who are SD card-transferable, and non-SD card apps.
When I click on one of these "ghost packages", Settings gives me a force close notification.
Here is a logcat of what happens when I click on one of these apps...

Does anybody else have this issue? And what can I do to fix it?
Hope to hear back on this. Take care

How are you uninstalling the apps?
Can you check if they still have entries under /data/app?

Thanks for the reply,
I find this issue happens no matter how I uninstall them- through Settings->Manage Applications, or through uninstalling via long-press in GO Launcher. Their icons still show up weird like this.
There are no entries for these applications in my /data/app directory, nor under /data/data or /data/app-private. :s
Can you download/run Titanium Backup and see if there are any entries in there? Maybe try delete them from there.
Also, in adb shell (or terminal emulator, make sure you're root), run;
find -name *mojang*
(or some other app name)
That will list everywhere on your phone it is. Might help narrow it down.

i had the same problem before and erasing them completely in titanium backup helped

Thanks for the suggestion, and sorry for the delayed response... Would I find options to uninstall these in Backup/Restore? I don't see those apps in Titanium there.
I used find and grep -l to search as well and couldn't find these. The only entries I have found about them are in packages.xml.
I'm trying to set my phone back to stock for an ATT warranty exchange. I had previously rooted with Casual. I used a unrooting app, then used a couple apps to verify I didn't have root. Most apps didn't find root, but one found busybox. I looked for it, and low and behold it's there in system/bin, and protected of course, so I can't delete it. How do I delete it? TIA!
Busybox app on the playstore allows u to install and unistall...

Thanks, I had tried that, but because I'm partly unrooted, I can't even get past the busybox alert screen telling me I'm (obviously) not properly rooted.
Here's the screenshot:

Here's the screenshot of what the root analyzer app shows (and the files are actually there using ES file explorer.

Can't you just flash a stock rom?

How do I do that? I am decent with technology, but have to have clear directions.
Thanks so much! You are all awesome.
Check to see what your phone says about the flash counter, in download mode. Also check if it says it's modified . I have done a warranty exchange a few times with no problems. I always went on download mode, I don't think they are going to use that specific app at the warranty place. After going threw the warranty so many times for black blobs. I'm almost curious if they just check to see if it boots stock with no issues. And gets thrown in a bin that says '' fixed''. Because I've gotten the same phone twice lol.
Anyway, Goodluck, and don't worry about it so much. It will be fine
Thanks for the help! I got it sent back and it was showing not modified when I got it back to stock.
I have been trying for a while now to get the APK for S-Note to install on stock 4.4.4 and fails every time I try. So online I found another way I could do this is to use root explorer thats in ES Explorer. The problem is the copying to anything on root fails even though the root option is enabled in ES Explorer and my phone is rooted. So my thought is that maybe the file explorer is messed up or something. I know the APK for S-note works because it worked prior to me going to stock from another customer rom. Any suggestions?
Did you mount system as rw?

I don't remember seeing that as an option. Where in the app do I do this?
Tap on root explorer, not the button, then you will see this screen:

}
Go to mount r/w, then select rw for system
That worked, however I am getting a describe error. It says there is a problem parsing the package. I am not understanding why this APK does not work. The icon looks normal when its not in the system app folder. When its copied there I see the the android gremlin thing sitting in a box. This is extremely aggravating because I know this worked on 4.4.2 just fine.

You mean the mount rw thing? That part I was able to do. Even when I set it back and reboot the app does not show up in my app drawer.

Your welcome.
Ever since I used an RUU to be able to take the latest update, drive won't stop asking me to take the 100 gbs. I've already redeemed the offer.

The error it gives me when I click on it.
Anybody know how to get it out of there?

Go into settings app's and disable DriveActivator
There a solution to this that doesn't require root? I'm stock at the moment and disable is grayed out.

The disable button is greyed out for me too, but instead of renaming the APK or freezing with TB,
I found that just force closing the drive activator system app and clearing the data also got rid of the problem. This may be a solution for those that are not rooted.

I ended up just making another google account, setting it up on my phone, and then redeeming the drive offer with that. Problem solved!
Hi all,
I have deleted default photo editor in my A52s 5g phone using adb because I want to install photo editor from elsewhere which may support object eraser which the default app was not supporting.
Since then, i am not able to install it back and get the error message as shown in attach images. I have tried apk mirror and tried to install same version number.

The same photo editor app is working fine in secure mode. The version i can see there is 3.1. 09.41.
I'm using Android 13, One UI 5.
Kernel version
5.4.147-qgki-25280849-abA528BXXU1DVK5
#1 Thu Nov 10 10:56:13 KST 2022. Build number
TP1A.220624.014.A528BXXU1DVK5.
Is there any method with which I can install/restore get this photo editor app?
Thanks for any suggestion/help!
It's not deleted so you can reinstall it. Enable it with the correct ADB command. Or a factory reset will purge the ADB edits from the user partition. The app still resides on the rom, it's simple not loading at start up.

Can you please tell me the adb command to enable it back? Because I can't afford to factory reset the phone.
Thank you!

No clue, sorry. I run a Package Disabler instead.
Some others here likely know though. Try this thread.
Thanks again for giving a clue in your previous comment that the apps still in the rom and it is not completely gone from the phone and correct adb command can bring it back. With that, I searched more and found a video how to do it correctly and photo editor is back...finally!
For those who are in same situation, the adb command in the adb shell:
Code:
pm install-existing package
where package is name of the app, in my case it was: com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching
