[Q] Ghost applications

Hi all,
I've been having an issue for a while on CM7.1.0 (stable) where, whenever I uninstall applications, their icon shows up as a grey image in my Settings->Applications->Manage Applications.
Take a look at this screenshot and you will see what it looks like...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This happens with both applications who are SD card-transferable, and non-SD card apps.
When I click on one of these "ghost packages", Settings gives me a force close notification.
Here is a logcat of what happens when I click on one of these apps...

Does anybody else have this issue? And what can I do to fix it?
Hope to hear back on this. Take care

How are you uninstalling the apps?
Can you check if they still have entries under /data/app?

Thanks for the reply,
I find this issue happens no matter how I uninstall them- through Settings->Manage Applications, or through uninstalling via long-press in GO Launcher. Their icons still show up weird like this.
There are no entries for these applications in my /data/app directory, nor under /data/data or /data/app-private. :s

Can you download/run Titanium Backup and see if there are any entries in there? Maybe try delete them from there.
Also, in adb shell (or terminal emulator, make sure you're root), run;
find -name *mojang*
(or some other app name)
That will list everywhere on your phone it is. Might help narrow it down.

i had the same problem before and erasing them completely in titanium backup helped

Thanks for the suggestion, and sorry for the delayed response... Would I find options to uninstall these in Backup/Restore? I don't see those apps in Titanium there.
I used find and grep -l to search as well and couldn't find these. The only entries I have found about them are in packages.xml.

[GUIDE] Use TWRP through ADB Shell

Dear user, we hereby say that any damage or brick created by following this guide shall not give any fault on us. The requirements for this procedure are clarified and we take no responsibility for bad usage of this.

Dear XDA community,
Straight from the efforts of user @LastStandingDroid, here's a way to flash a zip file or some other operation in TWRP if you cant access some part of the touch screen due to it being broken and not detecting touch, for example.
Requirements:
A toaster wich can run Windows, MacOS or Linux. (joking on toaster part)
ADB Drivers (if needed, you can find something here) - this link is only for windows users.
TWRP installed (follow this guide for installation)
Minimal command knowledge
We will use as example, a flash of a zip file to get root on a Umidigi Z Pro:
Open command prompt;
From here, change directory to ADB Directory (cd path/to/adb)
Now type "adb shell twrp install path/to/zip", being the part path/to/zip the actuall path to the zip file you want to flash;
At this point, you should get a screen where every step of the flashing process will be shown, just like when flashing through TWRP. And that's it.

And I certainly agree with his statement (telegram) while there was almost no info about how to flash zip trough adb and the echo update command did seem to fail. Or maybe I did wrong I don't know. I find this great if the echo command fails
This made my root come back when something broke it

I have access to a super primitive recovery mode, in which twrp doesn't seems to boot.
When I use
# twrp anycommand
I get:
TWRP does not appear to be running. Waiting for TWRP to start . . .
Press CTRL + C to quit.
Is there a way to "start" twrp from adb shell ?

It's worked on my PH-1,thank u so much

Problem in Device Update

When I try to update my device or download additional keyboard , downloads 100% but problem in install, then it shows that there is a problem with Date, Time and Time zone but all are ok in my device. What's the problem, how can solve it?

sometimes helps if you enable and disable Insider settings...
also you can push language cab file to phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10-mobile/w10m-builds-update-links-collection-cab-t3234805
search for
"microsoft.input.mtf_lang_YY-XX.cbs_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.cab" for your language YY-XX
use iutool to push cab file to phone

How can I push language cab file? Please tell me in details!

Enabling and disabling Insider setting means unlink my account or stop getting build for 7 days?

If you try to update to the last insider build of fast ring, put the date on manual and fixit to 15. february 2018.

enabling and disabling mean to enable and disable receiving insider updates.... if you have enabled insider, just disable it, turn off phone, turn on and try install language....
if not helps, you can try puch language cab file but not available for all OS build versions. you can use for example version from 14393.2068 or 15063.297 but no guarantees for that... once i used file from 15063.297 on build 15254 and worked....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10-mobile/w10m-builds-update-links-collection-cab-t3234805
to push cab file, install iutool https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68459157&postcount=13
open Command Prompt as Administrator in Windows PC
for x86 windows: CD C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10\Tools\Bin\i386
for x64 windows: CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Tools\Bin\i386

download cab language file for example to folder C:\CABS\
in Command Prompt: iutool -v -p C:\CABS
phone reboot automatically... wait process done...

Thank you, I will try my best as your advice.

Thank you. I tried your first way and changing date I ask successful! Keep going on and try helping us. ❤

I tried with pausing insider update for seven days and change date into 7 days ahead and I am successful. Thank your for your kind information.

[COMBINATION FILE] [Galaxy A5-2017/A250f]

I tried to play a COMBINATION FILE on it, it was the version A520FXXUBASF1 because I was told that it is the binary 12, but it does not work it keeps telling me SW REV Check fail (bootloader) Device 12 Binary 11.
The reason for this is. that from my uncle the son had the cell phone and his google account linked. and the cell phone was set to factory reset and these no longer know the data. So with I want to put the phone once again completely and through numerous videos I was shown that I first have to play a combination file on it before I install a firmware again. Unfortunately, this is not possible as described above
and maybe someone has the right combination file for me, the current firmware, I have the works that I have already tested this is called A520FXXUCCSK1.
I already apologize for my bad english

You dont need such a combination file.
Just install the firmware through odin and you are good to go.

I did that anyway, the phone requires the old Google account previously set. and as described above, the data is unknown

So, if I understand this correctly, you are trying to get your google account login data?

no i want to remove this google login so I do not have to register first because we do not know the data anymore

and therefore would like to bypass the google login, because as I said the data is no longer known or have been forgotten. and I can not log into the phone

Is it normal for Samsung galaxy to have protected data folder named user_de for a52s. I can understand default system and one user data folder.
Reason for asking is I'm trying to recover my phone from hacking ( already tried removing unnecessary system apps for user 0 using adb tools but I couldn't do anything for user_de. Someone is able to remotely change app permissions, force find my device, enable parental control and so on.
I checked ADB max users it shows only one user and hence worried about protected data folder under user_de. I can understand if system account is protected
I have checked and don't have Google play developer console activated, also deleted registered Google and Samsung accounts.
Any answer would be welcome. Thanks in advance

I'm not sure about the other user but honestly, I would just reflash it if it has been hacked. It would probably be the easier method anyways. Let me know if you would like to reflash it and I'll answer any questions.
