Hey guys I have tried to remove the google phone app to install an older version but it seems impossible. I have tried using the app, Uninstall System Apps but it doesn't remove it. I have also tried to use Titanium Backup but no option comes up to convert it to a normal app so I can uninstall it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I have successfully got it uninstalled using the TOOL ALL IN ONE program (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3358711). However when I try to install a version that is earlier (v40) than the one that came with the march patch (v43) it just fails and says "[INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]". Is there a way to bypass this?

Hey all,
I'm running cm7 stable and have noticed recent that a new market version has come. So I tried updating though settings>applications but the option to update wasn't even there. So I found a new version online (3.0.27) and downloaded it. It was an apk file so I just ran it from astro, but it didn't work.. just kept on saying "application not installed". Next I tried to remove market but it would not let me either.
I deleted com.android.vending and anything else that came up with either "market" or "vending" in it but I still can't get the new version to install.
Any advice? Is there a list of files somewhere that pertain to the market that should be removed?

I tried to replace market on my Moment when a new version had come out and the only way I could do it was by pushing via adb
Yeah that's one thing I've yet to try. hopefully I can do this when I get home

I just downloaded a version I found on the forums, and clicked on it once it downloaded and it prompted to install then installed normally.
But I'm on MIUI, which I'm sure made a difference. I think I have the apk that I used in my dropbox if you want to try it.
I do remember that back on CM6 when a new market was released it was almost impossible to get it the update. I tried multiple ways and couldn't get it to work (others couldn't either) and just gave up.
Have you tried replacing the old one with the new one via Root Explorer?

Hey Guys,
I need your help. Long time ago I installed winamp 1.2.9 on my device but yesterday I've noticed that there is no shortcut listed to start the App.
So I tried to figure out why. I tried to install the apk file again but it fails telling Install not being successful.
I tried the newer version of Winamp on the Market but again install fails telling Not Compatible update!
I tried to locate the Winamp Files in System Folder an deleted them successfully. But again the same problem.
Tried to wipe cache and dalvik --> Boot loop
Is there a way to clean deinstall the App manually in order to re install the new version?
Using Kindle Stock ROm ver. 6.3.1 rooted
Thank you so much in advance

part of the problem may lie in the fact that your using rooted stock dunno? have you tried something like root uninstaller pro? to remove the app also I hate to say this to everyone as a fix sometimes it does work out for the better truthfully I have never see it not but you can flash modaco found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 right over your existing system without wiping that might clear up any chances of permission issues as far as removing an app. As far as updating an app just because it shows available doesnt mean that it is for your device compatibility issues are usually that way for a reason maybe it doesnt like gingerbread?? but there is another option you could always just sideload it instead and see if it takes and functions correctly good luck
I have provided my dropbox link to you in a pm give it a shot doesn`t mean that the icon will show in your apps though
Hi sorry I am new here, I looked around and did not see an answer to this
I rooted my S3 yesterday using Kingo Android root and as far as I can tell everything worked properly (other apps detect that phone is rooted) but SuperSu is not working because Knox keeps on blocking it. I read a few fixes like just uninstalling SU and reinstalling via the play store but Kingo installed SuperSu as a system app so I cannot do this.
Do I have to reroot or is there an easy way to reinstall SuperSU so that knox is not in the way (all none of the ways to deactivate Knoxs from within the phone do not work because none of my root apps have superuser), I am a bit of a noob when it comes to cell phones.
An suggestions? Also I am looking to keep the data that is already on the phone
EDIT: I got it working
For anyone else having this issue I went to chainfire's website and downloaded the newest version of SuperSU
I opened the Zip found the apk (found in the common folder) and uploaded it to my phone.
Using the default filemanager I opened and installed the apk.
Since it is a higher version then the one in the store it let me update the original failed SU install.
Upon starting SU it updated the binaries and also disabled knox.
Just tried this way and it worked for me thanks. I had same issues there was no option to update from store and Knox kept stopping such..

I need a little help here, I have the unlocked variant of the phone that I'm using on T-Mobile. I use the my account app to keep track of my data usage and other things, the thing is that the latest version does not work properly. So I decided to go back to an older version of the application that works absolutely fine. Here's my question, is there any way that I can slightly modify the app so that it will not keep popping up in the play store letting me know that there is an update available? I know that I can disable auto updating of the application which I already have done but I would like to figure out if there's a way that I can get it to disappear from my apps list in Google play.
Any help with this would be tremendously appreciated
Titanium backup has a remove/detach from market option but that requires root.
the other option would be to resign the apk with a different key compile then then install it, it will still show the updates available on the play store but installing the update will fail

I'd do that the last time I did stuff like that was with kitkat, any guides for doing it with marshmallow?
hi,
i have been using titanum backup for years and until today everything worked perfectly until i mistakenly uninstalled it yesterday. since then i can't open it. i tryied to download the play store version and when that didn't work i tried to get older version from the internet (both pro and free version) and i can't get it to open.
the installation doesn't cause any problem. however when i try opening it something is loading up (i see a dark grey window with "titanium backup" writen on top for a split second) and he the app closes.
i am using OOS beta 19 on my OP3 rooted with magisk
any idea what my problem may be?
thank you in advence

I think I had that issue once. Sadly I couldn't fix it, but I think it may have something to do with root

I assume you have the Pro version? Uninstalled both the key and Titanium, reboot install titanium and if it works install the key.
