I have a modded Facebook app but it is pretty outdated. I can't uninstall it or update it (if i try the market gives me an error). Any suggestions?
Also, I'm rooted and all that good stuff.
Edit: I got it, I found some adb commands to help me delete it out of system/app Thanks!
uninstall it through your settings> application > manage apps
OR
use rootexplorer/filemanager
go to system/app
look for a facebook app
then remove it.

Hello,
If an application doesn't have an uninstall button is there a way to remove it?
I'm specifically wanting to remove the market app. I think I screwed it up when I installed it and it's completely useless. This isn't a "market fix" situation, it won't open for me at all. I tap, get a quick screen flash and it goes right back to home screen.
I was wondering if I could uninstall, then try to re-apply properly and hopefully get a better result.
Thanks.

Guessing here... depending on the version you're running.
Settings | Applications | Manage Applications | Running | select Market | force-stop | uninstall
I'm running the stock 3389 firmware.
Market shows up under system applications, no uninstall button. I can do force stop but that's it.

Maybe I don't need to bother trying to uninstall or remove the market. I'm reading through the enhancement thread now, I haven't installed that yet. Could be what I need to get the market working.
using Root Explorer, if you don't have it, get it otherwise you'll have to do this using adb shell or terminal, /system/app, mount r/w, rename Vending.apk to Vending.apk.bak that will uninstall vending. I would do a data/cache wipe using TI first on Market. Then reboot and rename back to Vending.apk, I've had to reinstall it before due to issues.

Sorry, I don't know what TI is for doing the data/cache wipe...

I was using stock 3389 and of course w/o the market. After I installed the enhancement package and did the market fix according to the instructions I now have the market and it works fine as does the gtab itself. I have a feeling if you did the same it may fix your problem. If not, at least you'll have the updated tegra drivers. Good luck!
Hi everyone!
so I installed an application (extended controls) "from unknown source" to check it was working on my tf and worth it.
and I can not uninstall it from application manager. force stop and unistall aren't available. i tried to install other versions I found and i got the same issue.
Is there a harder way to uninstall it? i couldn't find any
i'm rooted and on ICS stock.
thanks.
use titanium backup and uninstall it [or settings -> apps -> find it uninstall]... or find the apk and delete it from /data/app/
next time... don't pirate apps. theres a refund window for a reason.
Worked. thanks a lot!
i'll keep your advice in mind.
Hi, i installed the China Retail fxz, but i don't have the Google Play Store.
And i need it so much because all my contacts are in my Gmail account, and i need to download several apps that are in the Play store, too, of course.
The possibly answer that i found on internet is this:
https://motorola-global-en-aus.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/82059/p/30,6720,8109
But none of those fixes solved my problem.
Also, the other i tried downloading the .apk. The instalation went ok, but when i open the app, it closes for it self.
I don't know what more i can do, because the ME firmware it's much better than MB firmware, but, with that problem is useless for me.

Uninstall any trace of playstore from your phone. Then put the Phonesky.apk in /system/app set permission -rw-r--r--
reboot and see if the app shows in your app drawer, if not, go back to your system and install the apk from there. Once it shows in the drawer, you should be able to open and use as normal. I think if you just try to install it as a regular apk it goes to /data/app instead of /system/app (I could be wrong), but either way I've manually installed the playstore as I mentioned above and it worked as it should.
There is no Google pre-installed products in China. China is ruled by the Communist Party, that means China is a non-democratic country. Dictators do not allow Google, or Google do not want to play with dictators. Ever heard Google exit from China in 2010? Search "new approach to china" at Google and read

Nope, didn't work. Well, im going back to MB firm, and then i'll sell the phone and i'll buy a Galaxy S2.
I've installed new firmware and I've rooted my device however I'm not able to download new applications and my GPS doesn't seem to be working.
Error "Package file wasn not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again. (option to uninstall is available but never works)
Does anyone else have these issues and does anyone have a fix most importantly?
Thank you,

Have a look at thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479695 which has quite a lot of information on rooting and flashing this phone. For this particular problem, try the following:
1. Use a Root Uninstaller (I use System App Safe Remover) to uninstall Documents to Go, Skype, Twitter, YouTube and WhatsApp. Don't uninstall Facebook - I can't get that one to reinstall properly yet.
2. You can also uninstall unwanted stuff like 3D Live Weather, Weather, Weather Service and the Chinese keyboard if you want - I've installed Google Keyboard instead which seems much better.
3. Reboot the phone
4. Go to Settings / Apps / All and, for Google Play Services and Google Play Store, Clear Cache, Clear Data and Force Stop
5. Reboot the phone
6. Reinstall the desired apps from the Play Store
Docstogo won't reinstall properly - it'll give an error about a shared ID. Have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219029- use ADB (via MTKdroidTools) to copy packages.xml to your computer, edit it to remove the DocstoGo section, copy it back to the phone, reboot, and install from Play Store:
1. adb shell chmod 666 /data/system/packages.xml
2. adb pull /data/system/packages.xml
3. Now edit (notepad++) and remove the shared user in question xml block from the file:
Code:
<shared-user name="com.docstogo" userId="xxxxx"> (or whatever)
...
</shared-user>
4. adb push packages.xml /data/system
5. adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
6. adb reboot
Hope that helps.
Everything is working except facebook

Everything is great now ! The only problem I am currently having is my facebook app won't install. I tried to uninstall but the app isn't there. When I reinstall I receive a message that the package is not digitally signed. Anyone one else have a Facebook issue with there Doogee dg100 ?

Hi
Don't know as much about the Android OS compared to windows (and I do not have google playstore (marketplace) on my tablet
Is deleting an apk = to uninstalling the application. (Yes I have access to /system/bin as my device is rooted) or is it more like the apk is the executable while the executed program is some place(s) else like it is in windows OS
What are the other ways of uninstalling an android app ( I know one is clicking the apk already in the download folder)
Thanks
Its best to just uninstall it, then you will get rid of its data etc.
I'm sure there are plenty of uninstall apps, I use ROM Toolbox.
Sent from my LG-VS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No it wont uninstall the app when u delete its apk,
when u completely uninstall a app it will delete its data but since u dont have a google play store the apk will stay,
so whenever u want to install it again execute the game .apk but ofcourse u wont able to get ur last game data or atleast u have a backup of it.
U can install a third party app that uninstall app and system app but i know there's other way to uninstall a app without installing uninstaller app but it can only uninstall a app that youve downloaded but not the system apps. just search on how to uninstall an app depends on ur phone or tablet.
