[Q] Titanium will not update or uninstall (fixed) - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

SWYPE - out of space install error PLEASE HELP

ok, so i had swype installed and the trial ran out. i've uninstalled swype and now when i try to install ANY version i get a message saying OUT OF SPACE swype could not be installed free up some space and try again. the thing is, i have plenty of space to install swype.
i know i have read that others have gotten this, but how do you fix it? i need swype badly. thanks.
Help please
As with any computer....
Ok deep breathe,
Reboot. After that is done try again. If it still doesn't want to work you might want to use a nandroid backup and uninstall it again with titanium backup. If that isn't a option you could try installing it via adb commands (I don't remember them off hand but you can find them online)... After all that has been tried let me know if it worked...

yeah the only option is using a nandroid backup but i really really don't want to do that. it may be the only option now though so i'll try it even though its gonna be a pain to set everything up again perfectly.
You could install it as a system app using lucky patcher
But you won't be able to convert it to user app using titanium backup well I tried and it failed
That's the downside

Can't reinstall app after removal using root explorer

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?

Please Help

I accidentally uninstalled "Contacts Storage 2.2.1" with titanium back up. I tried reinstalling it with titanium back up, but it does not work.
What can I do? I lost all of my contacts!
Have you tried pulling it from the original rom you flashed and pushing it into system/app through root explorer?

If u had them backed up on googles cloud thingy, u can odin stock or flash a new rom to get them back

Just reflash your ROM then you will be able to restore them with Titanium. It needs the system app installed to restore the data. OH, and if you are going to play with deleting system apps, use sdx app removal tool and back them up with the app first.
Relished and fixed.
Thanks.

[Q] og incredible on 2.3.4(s-on)bloatware help

followed the tutorial for the unrevoked rooting method..(mad props to all involved)
okay so my question is, im on the stock rom(2.3.4) rooted with HBOOT.92 and obviously have root acces, i want to get rid of a bunch of bloatware, vcast,app sharing ect ect.
in the past i had a htc eris and used root explorer and deleted all the bloat from the system/app folder and seemed to work flawless. i tried that but they are still there, then used titanium pro to uninstall them but no go, then i created a filter name "bloat" and melted it. well now the app are uninstalled but still are in my apps screen. i then tried to use root explorer again and they are not to be found in the system/app folder, i have a backup so io am not worried.
any suggestions on how to get rid of these bloatware, or could you recommend a rom low on memory usage that is close to stock rom, or maybe some nice visualized roms that are not to big on the memory.
This might sound obvious but did you reboot after deleting the apps?

Get S-Off then try removing the apps again.
Hope this helps...
You dont need s-off to remove apps just root. Deleting the apks with root explorer should work.

Or Titanium Backup, make sure busybox is installed, there's a busybox installer app free in the Market.

according to the tut,""*at this point,you could just enjoy root access without doing anything else. if all you care about is using a couple of root only apps,and deleting some bloatware,you can remain rooted and s-on if youd like.""

I had this happen when 2.3 first came out, and I went to delete the apps and they'd just reappear on reboot. Installing busybox fixed my issue then.
Good luck!
well i think i may have figured it out, used this app System App remover, couldn't uninstall anything but disabled all the stuff i wanted to, then used root explorer to delete apk's in system/app.
installed busy box but didn't notice anything different.
Just flash a new rom. If you want something like stock or better I suggest any rom by Heyitslou, skyraider, or newtoroot sense 3.0 or lower.

you don't need to do any of that.
Using root explorer:
Delete the .apk files from BOTH system/app AND data/app.
Reboot into recovery.
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Reboot
Be patient as your phone rebuilds the cache and dalvik cache. Once you get to the unlock screen, wait another minute or two.
enjoy.
much love my friend

App extractor

I am looking for an app that will let me pull a system apk from a backup of my system using cwm. I have tried nandroid manager, app extractor, and a couple others that I don't remember the name of and none of them are working for me. Nandroid manager says that it successfully restored the app I wanted, but it didn't really do it. I have also tried titanium back up, and it's not restoring the app either. It's a system app if that makes any difference.

TB might do the trick for you. I just checked, and under the MENU
Then under special backup/restore
I know it works with twrp, Might work with CWM too. Never actually pulled one from there, but there is an option to grab the apk
Good Luck
edit: odd, searched with root explorer and was not able to find the apk i yanked from TB nandroid

I've tried TB, both restoring the app and extracting the app from a backup. Neither worked. TB spent 30 minutes restoring this app before I canceled it.

Ok so flashed back to my stock rooted backup and used the app Appwererabbit and it allowed me to make a copy of the apk that I wanted. The I flashed back to my current rom and tried installing it, but the install failed. I'm guessing because it was a system app. So I placed it in the system app folder and still nothing. Is there a way to install this without using a pc and pushing it with ADB?

Anyway to install a system apk from another rom without using a pc and ADB? I have tried to restore a backup off the app with TB, but that was a no go.

I had the permissions set to rwxr--r--. After changing permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooting, it's still not showing up I'm my app drawer or in installed apps under settings. I do have the app placed in the system/app folder along with all other system apps but still a no go. Thanks for the input though. Any other ideas?

Probably would help to know what app, also is it from the HTC One or another phone ?
And are you currently using a sense rom?
