My zenfone 2 does not let me uninstall anything - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to uninstall games that i downloaded for the playstore and each time i go to uninstall them the phone reboots it self and the game/app is still on the system ?
any solutions thanks ?

Try clearing cache/dalvik.Next try uninstalling via lucky patcher or sdmaid if that fails.

And if all else fails, hard reset.... Guaranteed all games will be gone...

cannot install apps from Market

In the past few days my EVO 4G has started to have an issue with installing or updating apps from the PLAY STORE (Market). It will download to 100% but never start the install process. If I press cancel and then use root explorer to find the app download and then click on it, I get a PARSE ERROR. what is causing the google play store not to start the install process after download? I have tried clearing dalvik cache, regular cache,. play store data and cache, google services fraimwork data, download manager data.. nothing make it start the install process...
Any help would be appreciated.....
Update: I just tried to download and an update.. it got stuck sat 100% .. I am using MIKG 3.11 ROM ... I used task manager and CLICKED the X next to the play store and it then started to install the update.. what is causing this? This trick doesnt always work....

I've had this sort of issue on other ROMs before, but they never seem to be persistent. Reflashing is usually my solution...
Try clearing your cache first through recovery?

if you saw what I wrote, I did clean the cache.. and I am NOT reflashing... I dont think its a issue with my flash as it has been working for months.. this just started a few days ago. HOWEVER it seems if I let it download to 100%, then wait a few minutes then kill the play store (market), then it installs the app or the update
any other ideas??

[Q] How to safely uninstall Xprivacy ?

Hello,
I have installed Xposed Framework and Xprivacy successfully in my rooted stock HTC one (m8), everything was working fine but i didnt like how xprivacy bugged me whenever I updated an app. anyways I chose to disable the module.
So I went to Xposed app, disabled Xprivacy, I also uninstalled xprivacy manually after that in android's App management.
since then the phone keeps on restarting, it restarts and functions for a minute then automatically restarts.
I restored using a Nand recovery backup and now its working fine, but I still have Xprivaxy installed.
has anyone faced this issue? Also, does someone know a safe method to uninstall Xprivacy?
Thanks

Did you check if was already installed when you did the backup? It looks weird because TWRP does a wipe before restoring data, so Xprivacy should not be there anymore. Yoy can also try to wipe manually the data partition, but you will have to start config, install & update apps again from scratch.

Try to install it again and enable the module in Xposer, restart, then disable the module in Xposer, restart once more and then try to uninstall it.
Do a full restart every time, so disable the fast boot option in energy settings.
Good luck!
right now it is installed, ill try updating then uninstalling, Fastboot is turned off for my phone.
I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache, didnt work.
I hope someone has a solution, I want to uninstall it.

This is weird, I tried to install, enable, configure and then I uninstalled without any problem.
I'm using ARHD 8.0, but it's almost totally stock.
I'll try to check what files are installed with the package, and maybe you can try to remove them manually using filemanager from TWRP.
I'm sorry, I tried a lot things and I can't replicate your problem. Even if I try to uninstall it with the module enabled in Xposer does it works.
I've been reading at: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/M66B/XPrivacy the uninstall methods and are the same we tried.
If you want to uninstall XPrivacy, you have two options:
1. Disable XPrivacy in the Xposed installer
2. Uninstall Xposed using the Xposed installer
I think I can't help you with this
Maybe you could try to uninstall and reinstall Xposer and see what happens...

Thanks for your assistance mate, I uninstalled Xprivacy again, this time I didnt disable the module in Xposed before uninstalling the App, I just uninstalled Xprivacy, it worked, no issues
So I guess an advise for anyone disabling or uninstalling Xprivacy would be to take a NAND backup of the phone before uninstalling incase the restart issue happens.
Thanks to all.
Great! I'm glad finally you get rid of that module! :highfive:
Make a Nandroid backup is always recommended for everyone having rooted devices, it takes less than 5 mins and saves a life... :good:

hmmm i had somthing like this some time ago while dowloading big games like GTA and such... what i tried is canceling and then imidiatly retring the download. You could also change from network, use other wifi or your own data.
Btw is your account set up download just in wifi? because it wont download unless you are in a wifi network
Hope this helps

Well if not working try reseting the phone
I had the same problem yesterday, and I tried to check the My Apps menu in Playstore, it happened that all apps in "Installed" tab are downloading updates all at the same time. So I cancelled all the process and everything is back to normal.
Update Error
Hi! I'm having the very same problem. Any advice please?
Are the apps you are trying to update on the micro sd. If so try moving them to the device storage before you update.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA Free mobile app
Possible solution
@reaf
A factory reset should work. However, I disabled my downloads app and the downloads provider and the play store refused to open.
I think that you should try to disable both of them; wipe any data or cache.
Then reboot and enable them and reboot again.
This should solve the problem.
Nexus 7 2013 Marshmallow not play store joy...
My Nexus 7 2013 updated with latest OTA Marshmallow some time ago, have rebooted a couple of times since then, suddenly stopped doing any app updates even though it seemed to think it needed to do so. The downloading progress bar would just go on forever. I finally got fed up and reset cache and data, rebooted and nothing. Then I did a factory reset, but let it try to re-add all my apps, that was taking forever as well and never actually getting anything to complete the installation. Then I did a factory reset without restoring any apps. The tablet runs, I can surf the web, lots of other things, but when I start the play store it apparently is the older version of the play store and it never wants to update itself. When I click the play store build(5.12.7) within play store settings, it says there is a newer version available and will be installed. That hasn't happened for 2 solid days now. I can't get any apps to install at all and the play store is stuck on the older version.
Advice?
P.S. Yes, I have a good WiFi connection.
I am having this issue now on Zenfone 2 version 4.168. Somehow, this started happening after my friends wifi went down. When it came back I still couldn't use it effectively. I could not connect to games or google play store. I tried clear cache and data from services and play store one by one but no solution. I booted to recovery and wiped cache from there still no difference. Factory reset was only solution that worked and that was my last resort. I thought the wifi I was on got hacked or ddosed because thats when issues started. So it has happened again after I did the factory reset. I synced my apps from gmail after I reset and it was fine for at least 4 hours till now I can't connect to game of war and when I go to play store and my apps, I get can't connect to play store.

Can't install any apk, update from play store, or install from play store

Out of nowhere I can't install or update anything on my G8 anymore. I figured it had to do with a magisk module so I disabled each and every module except for lsposed through zygisk, to no avail. My next step was to disable all of magisk clear all the data/cache on play store, play services, package manager, and download manager. That still didn't work. So I factory reset losing magisk altogether, still nothing. So I hard reset through recovery still nothing. I also repeated clearing cache/data after the resets. Has anyone else came across a problem like this and has a solution? Sometimes the error when installing an app is package not installed as it appears to be invalid. Yes, I am sure I downloaded the right apk. In the play store it will download to 100% and as soon as the install starts it just like resets like I never hit install. And on updates it will download 100% then stop on the update and it says couldn't update. I'm pulling my hair out here.
On a side note I had to drop twrp last week do to it being stuck on the twrp splash screen then restarting to twrp and doing the whole thing over again. Eventually I couldn't even boot into three os so I refreshed my original boot.bin that I patched with magisk previously
Edit
I installed aptoide and when trying to install am app out said I stl had root permission. And when trying to clear cache through recovery it throws an error art me. Nothing specific just says error. I guess next time I'm at my pc I'll reflash my boot files through qfil and try a factory reset afterwards.
Edit 2***
I was able to install the gta v ifruit app from apkmirror so my little niece could play with chop but even though it installed, when I open the app it says downloading application data failed. Anybody have a clue on wth is going on with my phone. I haven't restored factory yet because I'm kind off curious as to what is causing this problem. I was able to randomly install an app from the play store today after a data clear and restart. I'm thinking I true wipe/format isn't possible without twrp because this factory recovery isn't cutting it.
