I had made Nova into a system app via titanium with root. Now I want to switch back to regular pixel launcher but I am unable to uninstall Nova. I've tried via titanium browser move to user app, and then uninstall. It says it has moved to user data but doesn't seem to really work. I uninstall and then it just keeps coming back.
Any ideas?

Have you tried using your root browser and delete the apk?

Yeah. Even after settings system r/w it fails to delete.
Titanium uninstall completes, but on reboot Nova returns.

If you convert it back to a data app, you might me able to remove it via the playstore. Unless your using a beta build. You should be able to remove it via adb as well. I just don't remember the command atm

Make sure you don't have Nova setup as a Device Admin in Settings -> Security.

Hey guys,
i'm using 2.51 rom UK, but since the black status bar update (i think) i have installed an app called "GoMarket"
I tried to delete it, but it didn't work.
Wouldn't be a problem.
BUT, i realized that this app also catches the market links.
If i can't remove it, at least i want to rid of it catching my market links.
any advices? tips?
read somewhere, just removeing the apk from systen folder possibly messes everything up? don't need something yet. any confirms?
thanks a lot
assuming you've rooted your device, i think you can use titanium backup pro or adb to remove it.

you could try uninstall for root ive used it to uninstall system apps before also some app require device administration permissions and you have to unselect them first to uninstall them the settings can be found in Settings>Location & security settings>Select device administrators
You just need to download titanium backup which is free version and locate that gomarket app in TB and click delete. Or use root explorer to go into system/app and locate that file n simply delete it.
thanks for the many resonses

dont find this option on my phone (as above, 2.51 stock 2.1)
to systems/apps delete it with command or root explorer,
question is, does this mess up may system? read about phones which don't start after deleting goMarket directly ;=)
would have been my first try
edit: thx
Do a nandroid backup if you're worried.
Titanium Backup doesn't work? Make sure you have an updated busybox (there's on on the Market).
Couldn't find much on this issue...
Just installed the ROM in my sig. I was trying to restore an app for testing without data. I copied the Titanium Backup folder from my SGSII. YouTube wouldn't restore so I tried another single app and Titanium Backup gets stuck on Restoring App. I tried with and without data and it fails for any app I try. Rebooted, no go. Unknown Sources is checked. I have never seen this across all my android devices. ANY IDEAS MAY VERY WELL PREVENT ME FROM THROWING SOMETHING. Thanks and that it's all.
EDIT:
So after some troubleshooting I tried setting the App Processing Mode to "AUTO, Indirect." This didn't work. If I use "INTERACTIVE," it works. I just have to restore them one-by-one.

I seem to have the same problem but cannot find the "App Processing Mode" in the preferences. Where exactly is it? I use the free version.

I just ran into this, trying to restore my backup of the Chrome system app. It got stuck forever. You have to go MENU -> Preferences, scroll all the way down to find "Troubleshooting Settings" -> App Processing Mode -> and then pick "AUTO, Indirect" or "INTERACTIVE".
For me "AUTO, Indirect" is what worked.
Backup/Restore Apps using Titanium
Most custom ROMs will require you to do a wipe data/factory reset, which will erase all of your settings and apps. By using apps like Titanium backup app, you can easily backup and restore your apps. Even better, if you get a new Android phone, you can use this app to transfer all of your current apps with data to your new phone.
Seems to be solvable by updating SU binaries, using the SuperSU app.
Install SuperSu, Run it, it'll ask you to update binaries, accept, restart, then if root is broken go to SuperSu, go to Settings, and choose "Switch Superuser App", restart again - and boom, it should all work fine.
Titanium Backup
When restoring batch files on the titanium back up observe in what part the restoration stop more or less that app have an issue on the files being restored.
Also you should ensure that you still have available internal memory while doing the restore since app restoration on titanium backup directly go to the internal memory.
USB debugging
Try enabling USB debugging. Worked for me.
I have the same thing happening to me. The popup window just says "Restoring App" and the chaser keeps circling. I have the Pro key for TB installed. I have Super installed. I have changed the preferences as suggested in this thread. I think it's a whole lot easier to reflash the entire ROM and redo all your settings and preferences.
check super su setting
you would want to go to super su and then settings and then uncheck unmount separation box then restart then try and restore.... worked for me.
Should be second last from the bottom

Thanks for the tip mate, a few botched flashes and Kinguser installs later and that tip definitely made my day! Titanium Backup worked fine with Kinguser, but for some strange reason it didn't seem to budge with SuperSU. Turns out I had to unckeck that option.

thanks man, after spending a lifetime i tried your tip and worked for me :good::good:
Having trouble restoring both Boost Zone and Visual Voicemail backups. Both preinstalled system apps that I did full TB backups of for their latest versions. Tried all 3 restore options, the SuperSU settings, and also attempted to install a few .apk's I found, to no avail. (got "out of memory/space" error msg on both apk's) Sigh.... Really just need my VVM app back. Not perfect, but convenient.
I'm having problem with titanium bkp. I had backup all my apps with data on 5.1.1 and flashed 6.0.1 rom. Now titanium bkp doesn't detect my bkp.
Tried many things like
copy bkp files to internal,
just made an app bkp and copy my bkp files to that folder etc.
still my TB doesn't detect my old bkp

You did a reboot after changing the setting?
Guys, I'm rooted with magisk and I want to remove system apps like youtube. I used system app remover for it and it always fails, any idea how to do it?
Try root uninstaller. Always worked with me.
I've always used root uninstaller on all my devices until this one. It says something along the lines of "sorry, root privilege found but cannot mount system r/w " so it will only allow me to disable apps. Root essentials on the other hand won't disable apps but will allow me to uninstall system apps except for Google, which I had to manually delete the folder and apk for.

You can use Titanium Backup to do so, uninstall and reboot to confirm, Just make sure the app is not disabled before you uninstall it.

I had the same problem, too. I tried several apps but the uninstalled ones magical appear again after reboot.
The only thing that worked for me was to install the magisk module " terminal debloater " here on XDA.
Now they are gone.
The gesture navigations from android 10 cannot be enabled on 3rd party launchers. Nova launcher said they cannot fix as there's a function which literally checks if the launcher is a system app and greys out the gesture control.
I am rooted and trying to clean up system apps so I could set nova launcher to system app.
I cannot uninstall them from titanium backup as it says failed to locate apk. I cannot uninstall them from adb shell using su & pm uninstall ...
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
what if you systemize Nova Launcher by magisk (App Systemizer)?

I just have 2.88MB free space in the system partition. Which is why I was trying to remove some system apps. I even manually tired removing the apks from the system path using solid explorer. but it doesn't work.
I think you'll find that with Android 10, access to the system partition had changed. It's now mounted at / instead of /system. AFAIK, you need to use a Magisk module to systemize an app.
Not sure how well known this is, but after Titanium backup data restore, many applications (Whatsapp, Hangouts, ..) experience delayed/missing notifications, especially when restoring complete app data on a new device. Quick fix is to locate and delete this file
Code:
/data/data/app_name_folder/shared_prefs/com.google.android.gms.appid.xml
Force close the app, open it again and notifications will start working fine. This action forces re-connection with Google GMS server responsible for push notifications.
this works for me, i tried it on my redmi note 8, miui 11 global rom

If it's after a factory reset, then yes. Otherwise you should be able to restore all app data without any side effects.
This works for me, thank you so much.

You need root access and newer Android versions (11+) have different path:
Code:
/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/app_name_folder/shared_prefs
ok, i have root access out of the dev settings and i have android 12. do i need an file explorer app or is it some adb connection?
Root is granted by installation of Magisk, to browse system files you'll need a compatible file explorer - I'm using Total commander from Play store.
