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.

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!
i somehow lost all my app links in the market, i have about 130 apps installed and would like to have the possibility again to update them.
is there any way to get my app links back in the market?
Titanium Backup
already tried Titanum Backup but it says that there are no recoverable links or something like that....
any other methods other than reinstalling all the apps?
Lol, if you don't want to reïnstall all the apps, how would youvlike it?
Only way is backing up your app + data to restore with links
i have them all backed up with titanium but reinstalling them with TB doesnt fix the market problem...
In titanium delete the data for the market and install one app on the market and uninstall it
well i had to reinstall all the apps for them to be visible again... i hope that doesnt happen again.
now i have an other problem, whenever i move a app to the SD card it also disappears from the market.
any way to display them if they are on the SD card?
I´m with the same problem. After installing CM7 last build I receive the new Android Market (2.2.11) and all my downloaded links gone from the market.
When I look for an already installed application its appear as not installed and then I have to download and install it again to its appear in market downloaded list.
Any way to fix that?

i could not find a other solution, in titanium backup/restore you can long hold on the apps and then go directly to the market to download them, that made it a bit less painful to install them again

Yeah I find another similar stupied solution: QuikMarketLinks, this app will list all your installed applications and link to their market page. I downloaded again 60 programs.
If you install AppBrain application you'll be able to reinstall all your applications in one shot (provided that you had already synchronized your phone with the site) as the list is saved on the site. I'm not sure it will reinstall your market links yet but this isn't a big problem as AppBrain - like the official market - shows when there are updates .
I've also noticed that the applications that I've got on my SD card are displayed as non-installed in the market whereas they are displayed as installed in AppBrain app.
The bonus of the application is that you can browse the Appbrain site on your PC, select the applications that you want to install and when you synchronize your phone it will install these applications.
Really a great app!
You might want to try this as it worked for me.
I installed several apps manually by running the apk and selecting install. These apps didnt appear in market as installed, and presumably werent being checked for updates.
I went into settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Market->Force Stop & Clear Data
Launched Market again and after re-accepting the terms, all the apps that I had manually installed now appear in my list of installed apps.

1+ worked for me thanks
I have tried this out - worked for me in under 10 seconds on HD2 running CoreDroid. I had over 65 'misssing' apps
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.erismarketfix
well i tried the market fix and it did nothing...
also as soon as i move a app 2 SD i no longer have it in the market:/
someone has his apps on the SD and is still able to see them in the market?

Ditto! thanks a lot mate!
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.
There is a new Swype beta out that I want to get, but they say you need to uninstall Swype before you can install their new beta. When I go to Swype in Manage Applications, the button to uninstall is greyed out.

because it is a system application. why would you want to hassel with30 trials of betas when the phone has an official swype?
but if you must you need root and either titanium backup or a root file explorer. the apk is in /system/app delete it or use titanium to uninstall it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101232
yup, (only works with rooted phone):
install "Root Uninstaller" from the market (free)
remove swype using "Root Uninstaller"
force close "swype installer" if it is running. If it thinks swype is installed, force close it and open it yet again.
swype should prompt you to log in this time.
it will then download the newest and greatest version and you're off - big improvement over the broken infuse 4g default version. Added advantage is that the rooted kernel fixes the touchscreen accuracy problem near the bottom of the screen that is present in the stock kernel and makes swype almost unbearable.
Root Explorer > Mount R/W > System > app > Swype.apk > hit delete.
Root Explorer > Mount R/W > System > lib > libSwypeCore.so > hit delete.
Done.
Or, go to the market and grab titanium backup, cruise through list of programs till you find swype, press it than press uninstall. Either/Or lol. Just don't go poking around too much and go uninstall happy. Might not like the results. That's why I love custom Rom's

I'm running Humble v1.33 and cannot for the life of my remove LauncherPro. I'm wanting to remove it because it's stuck on my phone and I cannot update the app in the Market.
1. I've tried through the Market, where it does not give me the choice to uninstall.
2. I've tried through AppBrain. I go to Uninstall which does bring up the uninstall process on my phone, but when I click OK to uninstall the app, it says Uninstall not successful.
3. I've tried through Root Uninstaller. I select LauncherPro (located in sys btw) from the list and select Uninstall, and I get ".apk file not found" pop up.
4. I've tried through Manage applications. LauncherPro is not listed in the "Third-party" category, but is listed in the "All", where I can only click "Clear data" while everything else is greyed out.
Not sure if this is a ROM issue or what, so I thought I would start here. What are other options? I'm stumped.

Here are the steps needed to remove it:
1. Install another launcher such as ADW
2. Use root explorer and navigate to system/app
3. Mount system as r/w and delete the launcherpro apk
4. reboot the system
5. install launcherpro from the market
6. Uninstall adw or whatever launcher you temporarily put on there.
Forgot to try Titanium, which actually removed it. I've never mount the system before though...

Go to settings> applications> manage applications > all > launcherpro
and select clear defaults
when you click home button it will ask you do you want to use launcherpro or whatever other launcher is on there. If you followed the first post then you've already changed it. If not this way will allow you to set a new launcher. Now you can clear cache for launcherpro and uninstall.
