[Q] Clean Internal Memory upon Unsuccesful Market installation

I noticed my internal memory free space was decreased upon an unsuccessful market install.
Clearing Market cache is enough ?
How can I clean apk's downloaded from market ?
Thanks.

Uninstall them, if they aren't in - Manage Applications, they aren't on your phone.

since they were not installed i cannot uninstall them obviously. i know they were kept in some kind of cache because the low internal memory icon was not present before trying to install the application. After the failed attempt the icon popped up.

Are you rooted? Try Cache Cleaner from the market.

not rooted unfortunately. thanks for the info.

[Q] Can I free up System ROM memory?

Okay so in Titanium Backup my free System ROM memory is 229MB. SD Card Maid says 211MB free. Im not sure why they both have different values but, can I make any of these unused MB converted to usable system space for more apps? I've tried making some apps system apps through Titanium Backup and that takes more ROM memory and makes the used internal memory less, but that just makes the apps unusable. Im using CM7 Nightly and CWM Recovery. Thanks for the help.

Well I probably found an answer in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855424 but if anybody has another suggestion .....

Sure you can. I recommend using Titanium Backup to uninstall system apps. Be sure to make a full backup using whichever recovery you currently are using jiust encase you delete something important. I removed apps related to live wallpapers, friend streams, twitter etc. Features I don't use. Hope this helps.

I forgot to ask. Do you have a SD-EXT partition set up? May want to look into that.

Removing system apps doesn't free up storage for installing user apps. You can manually move apps into the system partition if you want, but you have to redo that after that app gets upgraded. The other option is to play with MTD partition size as mentioned in the thread you found.

You can't flash the apps to system/data?

/system/app is where they'd go. You don't necessarily need to flash them there, you can use Titanium or a root-capable file explorer to move them. Some apps need some extra steps to work with their native libraries though. In addition the problem I mentioned of updates going back to /data/app instead of updating in the system partition, you also have to keep track of what you've moved in and do it again if you flash an updated ROM (without wiping).

Delete system apps on lollipop

So I have the titanium beta which I believe has lollipop support but it does not delete system apps. Tried a few of the apps available on the playstore that are supposed to delete them too but with no luck. Anyone have suggestions to delete them on lollipop?

i used this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
my device required reboot afterwards.

What app are you trying to delete?

[Q] Can the Fire Phone be updated manually?

Hi guys. My Fire Phone is rooted and it was working without trouble. I had my backup at my laptop, so I started deleting some system apps to see if it improved performance. My laptop for stolen, and I'm pretty much trapped without the files I deleted. I can't update automatically because I deleted the OTA Verifier, and can't do a factory reset because Amazon Backup and Restore is also gone
Is there any way to install manually an OTA update file so I can get back the system files I lost? My Fire Phone version is Fire OS 4.6.1 (461013820). There's the same file in some other thread. Is it dangerous to push an update if it's the very same version the phone already has?
Thanks in advance for your help

You can try to install the apps manually, if you are not successful / not experienced enough: re-install the OS.
You can find all the Stock Apps and The Factory Images in my post.

Thanks for your help. Just to know, if I force the OS to reinstall, will all the data be lost?

Yes, it will be completely "wiped", just like you bought it. I assume you have access to another PC so you can backup your data, etc.
If you can remember the apps you deleted, maybe you don't need to reinstall (but you will need a file explorer with root access)
The factory reset you mentioned wouldn't work anyway, because the deleted apps will stay deleted, since FR only erases some folders and data: it doesn't restore data, only settings.
When you decided to reinstall: download the US factory image, it's the one you already had installed (461013820). Good luck!

No way to remove facebook, messanger or instagram from HTC 10

Found a question that's interesting for me as well, but no answer...
Is there any way to remove those apps being stock without root? (If not, how to remove them with root?)
Also unneeded apps:
*Google
[Slides]
[Sheets]
[Docs]
[Exchange Services]
[Play Movies]
[Play Music]
[Hangouts]
[Keep]
*Social
[Facebook]
[Messenger]
[Instagram]
[News Republic]
*HTC
[Connect]
[Help]
[...]
P.S. I can understand the preinstallation of GApps, but why the heck would i like to have Facebook, Messenger and Instagram preinstalled on my system, that cannot even be uninstalled?

you have to have root. to remove them you install a file explorer with root access, like Root Explorer is my favorite.
You browse to the system folder of the phone and youll see an apps folder and a priv-app folder. the stuff your looking for will be in there and you delete the entire folder of the apps you don't want. reboot when finished and they should be uninstalled.
it will be best to start with backing up your untouched system incase removing some app gives you problems, which it can when messing with system apps.
there is also play store apps the will uninstall for you, other apps can also "freeze" bloat without actually removing so you can see side effects of removing them

You can remove them all easily without root but you'll need a custom recovery like TWRP.
I do this before first boot to clean up apps and add HTC file explorer etc.
You can flash TWRP, remove apps then restore the factory recovery.

I just disabled them on mine, not like you would free up considerable space and if they are disabled, you don't get the updates eating in to your storage as the original just sits in the system partition.

Any way to remove Facebook completely without any problems after? Was thinking to maybe just buy the Chinese Version from China since China does not allow Facebook in the first place.
