Xda app shortcut not working? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay this has never happened before my xda app shortcut no longer works the only way I can open it is in the google search bar? I tried to uninstall and then reinstall but it keeps saying uninstall unsuccessful. I tried deleting with root explorer but when I reboot the app is still there what's goin on haha?

Just curious to know what rom are you running and what version of the xda app are you using..?

Out of curiosity do you have a themed XDA app? Make sure you click the top right tab in root explorer to make system r/w to delete files.

And what launcher are you using? Sometimes when I update the app go launcher ex stops recognizing my short cuts and I have to put the updated app in its place.

You use root explorer to go to
System >app> find face book delete it

Or you can use, SDX Stock app removal, root explorer never seemed to delete system apps for me, even tho i had it on r/w. SDX is also nice cause it backs it up!
I hardly ever use root explorer just sometimes to save apps for backup off the market..
I completely forgot about that
I'm too used to pushing everything by root explorer

There is no need to upgrade to 1.5.1 there was very minor changes that you won't even notice. That's why I haven't themed it and kept 1.5 in my theme

I used root uninstaller to delete Facebook. I then downloaded it again. But it downloads 1.5 instead of the newer version. But then the newer version will not install.
Even though I may not need 1.5.1. What id there is a major update in the near future and I cannot update it.
I guess I can wait until the new bonsai comes out.
Thanks everyone.

exactly what. Are u trying to install?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
using a file manager(i use root explorer)go to /data/app. this is where all market and side loaded apks are installed. long press the app you wish to move and when menu pops up select move. then back out(do not back out of manager) and goto /system/app and paste here. restart. i like to fix permisions when i restart but may not be neccesary.

Need help again

When I try to install an apk it says I have to clear my memory space but I have 22 gbs left please help me asap

Re: Need help
1.) Are you on a ROM? Which ROM?
2.) What app? Is it one app or all apps causing this issue?
3.) So you have the 32gb sgs3?
4.) Have you done any mods that mess with your storage?

Re: Need help
I'm guessing you're rooted? Apps like Titanium Backup or Adaway may cause this issue. Go into any root browser app and in the root directory go into /data/app/ and delete any .odex files you may see and then reboot the phone. That should fix the issue.

There isn't any of those folders it's not working
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
There are always /data/app and /system/app folders in the root directory of your ROM so make sure to use a root browser to view them and first go into /data/app/ and look for any. odex files and delete them. That usually does fix the problem you're having.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Here's a screenshot example of what you should be looking for and deleting. My Battery Reborn apk has an odex file attached to it

There's no folder data/app there's system /app but closes when I open
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
The only way you'll only see /system/app is if you're looking in the rom.zip file. You must already be on the ROM you're having issues with and then you MUST see /data/app because that is where all your user installed apps are located. So 1)Flash the ROM you're having app issues with and 2) Install and open any root browser like the one in Rom Toolbox and you'll see /data/app.

OP, buy the app. Stop using app license generators. That will fix the problem.
