Hi,
I am seeing mysterious behavior with my phone. I have un-installed few applications from my phone and those are still being shown in Task Manager >> Installed Applications list.
I tried rebooting in CWM and format everything, installed another ROMs but those entries are not going.
Anyone having any idea how to remove those entries or may be how to completely wipe it?

first of all, your name would indicate you dont even have the skyrocket?
secondly, what are you talking about?
examples
what apps
do you understand what loading a rom actually does?
don't worry about my name created that id before I replaced my phone with Skyrocket.
See the attached screenshot.

These are some old games/applications which I don't have installed on my phone now, but still these applications entries are there with their package name.
looks to me like its just saved data, and not the app itself. load up titanium backup and see if it sees the apps. you can also run a dalvik cache cleaner via tibu
don't see those applications installed in Titanium backup either. Clearing Dalvik Cache also does not solve the issue.
If I try to install any of those applications, I get a message that the application is already installed and if I wanted to replace it.
Any other idea?
you said you loaded a new rom to get rid of them, but did you WIPE data before loading the other roms?
Yes, I wiped everything I can from the CWM.
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Wipe Cache partition
3) Advanced >> Wipe Dalvik Cache
There is one odd thing though with Dalvik Cache, I get 2 messages
E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Dalvik Cache wiped
may be it has to do something with the sd-ext??

completely normal error. completely unrelated to your problem.
Any other clue? If there is a way to completely wipe everything?
I have Titanium backup of all my apps/games so wiping everything won't be an issue for me.

No promises, but try these things:
delete the .nomedia file
try fixing permissions (either in Rom Manager or whatever custom recovery you currently have, assuming that has the option)
try factory resetting without the option to wipe data
delete the camera app and re-install
buy a cheap camcorder :silly:
I'll try to think of other options, but in the meantime try these and see if any clear up the issue...

Camera mode works, but when I tap the switch to change to video mode, it threw that message.

- What .nomedia files? All? I have many many in my sdcard :\
- Didn't work
- I already did that
- Didn't work

Privacy > factory reset --> not work, and some of my mods still there :\
I think I have to flash back to 2.3.5 using Jim' method, then OTA to 2.3.6 and then use stock recovery to flash ICS 1st leak, are those steps right?
Have hust formated sdcard and restored ICS 1st leak backup by Bootmenu.
And... the problem is gone

Hi, my friend's phone is having a annoying bug which I didn't even saw something like that.
He did a factory reset in his device, but after it booted it keeps showing the low storage warning.
The user storage still 12.07GB free, just ~900MB used.
Can't install any app from play store or apk. Sometimes the apps don't open and show as not installed, sometimes af reset, camera doesn't open, first time settings wizard doesn't open, settings and google play show as not installed when try to open.
This is really stranger and annoying, how can I fix it?
And also every time when the phone boots, it erases ART cache and reloads the apps.

No modifications - Stock 5.1 ROM, Bootloader locked(Status: 0), no root, Stock Recovery

When caused by installing Xposed Framework, the solution was as follows:
After flashing the xposed-arm-*.zip in custom recovery - immediately choose 'Wipe Cache / Dalvik.'

But the phone is with bootloader locked, never unlocked, no root, no Xposed or custom recovery.
When wiping cache / dalvik it still the same, and everytime the phone boots, it clears magically(?) the dalvik cache

I'm not sure if you can Wipe Cache / Dalvik in Stock Recovery - if the option exists, try that. Alternatively, Android has become corrupt, and the most obvious solution is to wipe userdata and fastboot flash the latest Factory Firmware Image.

I tried to restore stock firmware 6 times but system wasn't installing, so I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, installed a custom rom then phone booted fine. Thanks
I have tried a lot of things which mentioned in different forums such as:
delete using root ES File Explorer.
delete apk files from /system/app.
clear Dalvik cache after uninstall (manually removing /data/dalvik-cache and /cache/dalvik-cache and using CWM recovery.
all mentioned earlier together several times.
Even install new ROM wiping data/factory reset and clearing Dalvik cache using recovery.
But no result. And I get something like this on startup if I clear Dalvik cache:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So there is a location from where OS gets these apps, isn't it? How can I get rid of these redundant apps?
Update:
Here link where I downloaded ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249760
@igorek2312 that's building "Dalvik-cache" as you are using Odex ROM ( or Stock) that's necessary for Odex ROM.
You can not stop it than installing DeOdexed ROM.
Here is difference between Odex and De-Odex ROM and how it works : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336411
Thanks for reply, @____Mdd. Here my ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249760. And it is DeOdexed.

Use an app such as "System app remover" or use ES File Explorer's root explorer to use the "uninstall system app " feature, after removing the apps reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik/ART cache.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
I fixed it by enabling S-OFF on my device. Here more details

I just updated to Android 11 and I was wondering how do I wipe the cache partition?
The system cache is cleared either from the boot menu (Samsung) or it's found in the software in Settings under storage, memory.
If it not on the boot menu it's somewhere in settings...

The recovery menu for the axon 20 is very limited with no option to clear the cache partition. I did check settings and I couldn't find the option...

It's in settings. Look under storage and memory.
It's likely buried but its got to be there.
Maybe a hidden double tap drop down, I know Samsung is notorious for doing that... you know just for fun
Try a Google search for that model but also other devices from that manufacturer.

What about the gear icon?
I found this:

Tutorial for wiping the cache files. Check out how to delete temporary cache files. What's really important this operation won't delete your personal files.
www.hardreset.info
You sure it's not on the boot menu?

The gear icon leads to number 4.
I also came across this website. Not only did they get the "how to get into recovery" wrong, but they also have the wrong recovery in the picture provided.
Hi, I want to ask. I want to reset my phone by using PBRP Recovery using Advanced Wipe option. If I wipe "Data" will my Android OS be lost? as well as "Internal Storage", will my Android OS be wiped too? Sorry, I'm still a beginner who wants to learn.
Translated using Google Translate
As with Android /data partition holds user apps and related data, partition "internal storage" ( read: /sdcard or /storage/emulated/<UI> ) holds user data.
So Android OS itself will not get wiped, IMO.

Even if I use a Custom ROM (Pixel Experience) it won't be erased? And also is it safe to select all of them (ART Cache, Substratum Overlays, Magisk Modules, FBE Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage)? I want to wipe everything to make sure everything is clean (without wiping Android OS)
