I just rooted my phone and installed TB. I want to remove some of the apps it came with. I was able to remove a few, like Blockbuster, but the list only goes from A through D. All of the app lists are like this. Is there something I am missing?
I don't usually do this, but I need help and don't know where else to get it for this, so bump.
If there is a better group or site to post this, please let me know.
not sure what phone you got but i think this should help...

Ok so you can clearly tell I’m new to the whole Android “tuning” (I guess that what this would be call right? LOL)… And with that said that bring me to the following question.
I have a rooted my cell phone and now I what to load up the stock Samsung apps that for some reason T-Mo (or should I say now AT&T )locked read too… I guess this is a 2 questions in one thread. I have Titanium Backup and I see under Backup/Restore a file named Samsung Apps 1.2.183 from what I seen in the web the Euro SGS have this and have somewhat cool apps like FMRadio.apk , Divx.apk , and so on… So I found a web site that had those .apk files downloaded then and used Sideload Wonder Machine but its give me a failure to install due to a certificate not found something like that anyone have a way I can side load apps? Or how to fix this issue also I want to sideload apps because I want to have stock web browser and get rid of the one T-Mo installed crap bookmarks like E! channel and Yahoo! Crap mail. And also I was wondering if I have the following Gingerbread Launcher r2.apk ,and Gingerbread_Keyboard_2.3.apk what do I delete using TB on my SGS4G to get those working… Thanks for taking a look yall at my thread
Anyone have any ideas that could help me out?

have you tried copy and paste to system/apps then restart phone ?
also what is the website that has that
I do not seem to find both GB Keyboard and Launcher after installing. Do you know where can I look for it?
Never mind. I got it.
I am new to this thread and rooting phones in general. I know you probably hate dealing with people like us, but you have to start somewhere...
anyways... I have a motorola atrix and i had recently rooted it just to delete the unwanted pre installed apps... and then i "unrooted" it? ... i beleive... i just dont know if unrooting it actually unroots it. well now i just tried to install the new update that came out yesterday, but it fails on installation. i was wondering if that has something to do with the uninstalled apps? if so... that brings me to a second problem. i did back up the apps with titanium before uninstalling. but it wont let me put them back. and i believe that is because the atrix wont let you install 3rd party apps? please correct me if i am wrong?
well i was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem or if any one could help. thanks! and sorry for being a noob

I just hate it when people use USELESS thread titles...
How is "UH OH" better than "[Motorola Atrix] Root & Installing/Deleting Apps"...
Use the edit button and change it so other people with the same problem can actually find this thread.
To know if you have root or not there is actually a free app on the market to check this and tell you if you are rooted or not.
Depending on the apps you uninstalled, yes this failed update could be caused by this.
If you can provide the names of the apps you uninstalled i might be able to tell you more.
Installing third party apps can be turned on at Settings/Applications.
Depending where the app was, Titanium Backup might need root to put it there.
You don't have to be sorry for being a noob, just use a good thread title so people know with a look at the title, if they can help or not, and provide as much information in the post as you can, to help people help you .
Not everyone looks into every thread, most if they don't have to spare alot of time (skilled people usually don't have too much free time ), just take a look at the thread titles and decide if they look in it or not.
The apps i deleted were...
Talk 1.3
Help center 2.2.1
Task Manager 9.0 (performance manager)
Home screen tips 2.2.1
Yes you are correct, phone does have to be rooted to put the apps back. It actually has to be rooted just to run titanium. I did Reroot it and try putting them back, but when i do the restore with titanium, its puts all apps back to their setting at the time of the back up, but the missing apps dont install (basically everything on the restore works but the apps i deleted)
i do get the warning when opening titanium saying i will not beable to restore apps with my current settings on my phone and to do what you said (settings> applications>) but from what iv found. it seems the atrix does not have this option.
if you need any more info please let me know. i just want this update because it is supposed to fix a few bugs.
Thanks!
I got it taken care of.
thanks!
I know some of you have been having problems with a force close message that looks like this: Android.process.media is not responding please force close or retry.
I have done search after search only to find one way that ultimately fixes this annoying every second force close message.
1. Make sure your phone is rooted.
2. Using a file explorer of your choice go into the directories as follows:
/system/app/
3. Delete this file from the menu, mediaprovider.apk
4. Force close messages will now stop. Horray!
If you have questions post them. I will do my best to answer.

i tried it on my G2 and it hasn't worked yet. Had to give ES FileExplorer root.
Have a great morning!
..........
media.process force close issue rooted htc desire
I fixed this problem without any further issues by clearing the download cache - I'm just as surprised as you.
staplesdroid said:
Yea like I said you must have a rooted phone!!!. Did it work after you gave es file root?
Another great program in root explorer. You can get it from ww w. 4shared .co m
Go there type in rootexplorer .apk and it will have multiple downloads. Just pick one and run it.
You can get all the paid apps for free like that. Just type in .apk after the app you want is typed in for example: rootexplorer .apk or irunner .apk or androidbanking .apk..... you get the picture?

Or you could get it from the market, and pay for it, and support the developers. But if you want to be a thief, that's your decision.

I'm not trying to piss anyone off. Sorry if you don't agree with that. But 3.99 for a file explorer. Come on.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can justify being a thief.
If 4 bucks is out of line, how is it you could afford your phone in the first place?

+ 1, a one time payment of $4 for something useful is nothing.

why patronize piracy?
I live in Asia, where pirated software/apps are more prevalent than legit ones. That is because software like Microsoft Windows is economically out of reach for the man on the street.
But $3.99? Come on! We shouldn't expect devs to continue churning out useful code without getting paid for it. If the developers of Titanium Backup or Root Toolbox had decided early on that it wasn't worth it to develop apps for Android or WinMo, we'd all still be in the Dark Ages of the cellphone era. Making custom ROMs is not the same. For one, many of them were based on stock firmware--which were made by highly-paid software engineers at phone makers in the first place.
What the Android Market offers for free, I download for free. When it has a price and I need it, I pay for it. Simple as that.
1) the fix listed above worked perfectly for me. (HD2, gingerbread, CM7)
2) paying for an app is the right thing to do. free ones are preferred, of course. you know it, i know it, they know it. support open source, support the community. pay it forward.

Thanks for the tip mate. I got rid of FC's after removing mediaprovider. But after removing it cannot access any sort of media like photos, ringtones etc :-D. Any other work around?
WARNING!

Yep, this is actually a horrible fix. For me, it did nothing except stop me from accessing any of my media. So if you don't care about listening to music, viewing any photos, having ringtones, viewing video you have taken etc, this MIGHT work for you. I had to dig out the mediaprovider.apk from the .zip of my ROM and replace it.
I fixed mine by restoring my last Titanium Backup ("restore all apps with data"). Whatever was corrupted was restored back to working order. I understand that not everyone has Titanium Backup, but it has save my a$$ a couple of times now when an app or system file has started acting weird. Root your phone and get TB, it's so worth it.
EDIT: OK, so the problem came back after I replaced mediaprovider.apk, so apologies for that. I booted into recovery and did a factory/data reset, then restored my Titanium Backup, and all seems to be good now. Again, I understand this may not help everyone, but it worked for me, and it avoids deleting apk files without fully understanding what effect it will have.
Help
I have a droid 2 global. i tried deleting the file and it says i cant. is there anything else i can do? i cant access my pics, music, or market.

I had the same problem with my Asus transformer. In addition the default Music player did not work anymore as it used to (played the wrong numbers).
The above solution did not work for me (I could get to the files mentioned without rooting).
Sofar I got the problem solved as followed.
1. I found an new version 4 of the Music player (com.google.android.misic.4.0.9.apk) and installed this version
2. This by itself did not solve anything, but now I could reinstall the factory original version and now everything is OK.
No forced closing anymore and the default player works as before
I hope it stays this way.
regards,
alfred
I've just updated to latest Oxygen on my Huawei U8800, and was having that same issue.
After reading this post, I've updated with TB the application "[Playlists] Media Storage 2.3.7 (10)" and it solved it.
It seems that my custom playlists of the music app were causing it...
sooo i installed an ad blocker so i could get rid of the ads but it turns out it jus makes it look ugly and even when i click on certain links, it wont allow me to see them so uninstalled it and even tho i dont have the app anymore, its like its still installed because all adds on internet are blocked. not sure bout my other apps tho. anyways, i was wondering if there is anyway to fix that problem?
i was thinking bout doing a wipe cache from boot recovery (i have a rooted phone) but i wasnt sure if that would delete other things such as my bookmarks, saved history chats on AIM/messaging etc. so i just left it be. any help would be great. thank you.
phone: 2.2 motorola backflip rooted with the cyagon or watever.

Which ad blocker? AdFree? Go reinstall it, run it, tap on Revert, only then uninstall it again.
