Root installer does not work? If you ask it to freeze a system app. it looks like its working but just hangs. The app is frozen but cannot be defrosted OR reinstalled. I froze the music app, can i get it back? No, its unusable!
Beware!

I've been flashing roms for a little while now and using titanium backup to speed up the process. Does anyone know why some apps will constantly force close after restoring a backup thru TB? Its fixed only by uninstalling the app and reinstalling the apk or from the market.

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes I tried fix permissions thru rom manager and cwm with no change.

O had problem with adw launcher, but only when I swichted from 2.3.3 to 2.3.7 etc maybe that's the issue. But after force closing I was missing data only, the app was running normal

So, I never had this problem before.
Usually if I uninstall an app through TB and it still shows in my app drawer,a simple reboot will make it go away.
But this time it's different.
I'm trying to uninstall Layar (bloat), through TB, buy it always comes back to my app drawer. Reboots won't make it go away. And if I click on it, instead of force closing, like an uninstalled app showing on your drawer usually does, it works normal.
As if it was never uninstalled!
I even tried looking for it with root explorer, to remove it manually, but I can't find it in system/app.
Any suggestions?
I think it may be bundled with maps now.

Weird.
But that would explain it.
Never really understood what it does though.
So, if I uninstall maps from my system, and then install it from the market, do you know if it would still be bundled?
Just try it! Remember cleaning dalvik cache after removing. Thwn install maps and see. Trial and error!

With me it will uninstall at first, but after a while it will be there again.

Just got a maps update and still no layer. I would say keep trying to get that crap out if there

I removed it with just Titanium. Another solution would be removing it completely before you flash a ROM.
You could try using Bloat Freezer (on the market) to freeze Layar. Worked fine for me (though technically it doesn't remove it, it just renames the apk so Android can't see it). It's worth a shot.
Have you tried sgstools?

I recently flashed my skyrocket to slimbean 4.2 and everything works great, extremely responsive with no lags. Only problem is my Gmail app will not update. It tells me to uninstall and try to re install it but I find that it is not possible to do. Does anyone have a Gmail apk or an idea of how to resolve this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why can't you uninstall it? Before you do that though, just clear the cache

If it was installed as a /system app it wouldn't allow him to uninstall. If that's the case, use a root file explorer (Super Manager has a ton of features, including a file explorer, you just have to give it root permissions), navigate to /system /app and delete gmail2.apk (or whatever your file is named). You should then be able to download a new version from Google Play.
Let me guess...
Inverted GApps?
I ran into that too (as well as some other apps too). I uninstalled it through TiBU, rebooted, and installed from the Market instead. Worked great.
It didn't work until I rebooted.
It must be a system app which is why I cannot uninstall. I will try those suggestions and let you know if I run into any other problems. Thank you for your input.

I've looked and I can't find anything on this. Is there a way to edit build.prop or something to suppress this update? I've tried several roms, there is always something that does not work. I could live with it but my security camera software is not connecting on the latest attempt, I'm perfectly happy with what I had. I haved restored back but the notification persists.
Freeze the system app "sdm 1.0" using an app like Titanium Backup. After doing this, any time you try to check for updates in Settings, it will force close.

Thanks! It is frozen and it force closes as you said! Great!
Great! Will have to try it later this week, after I restore what I had before the OTA. Thanks.

Are you running stock rom? And I assume you're rooted? I uninstalled google play movies & tv using Titanium Backup and it stays uninstalled.
