Layar won't uninstall

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.

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?

Unable to buy apps from Market

Title says it all. Running Eclipse 1.3 with PBJ kernel. I'm unable to purchase apps. When I press buy it just says "an error occurred, please try again." I HAVE purchased apps before, but I can't now. Derp.

Well the only other thing I can think of besides flashing your ROM again is to reinstall the market.

Yeah as said maybe try to re install the market or maybe this?

Open an older Rom that lists all. Take the market .apk and install it on your phone. It will overwrite what your current one is.

I am having the same issue with my Galaxy Nexus, I don't think it's app related but the change over from Google Checkout to Google Wallet.
I've been able to purchase and download apps just fine until they changed me over today. Now I can purchase apps but they won't download afterwards. It accepts the payment but stalls at the download part. I tried buying a different game and the same thing happens (although I managed to refund in time knowing the issue this time). Free apps download just fine and everything else appears ok.
Worst part is the 15 mins were long gone after I tried installing it for the 40th time.
Did you also get some message about Google Wallet notifying you when the transaction goes through?

Did you go here and verify that your credit card info still intact? and with enough credit?

Yeah, I verified (and even re-entered) my credit card info and called to make sure there's plenty of credit on the card. I just bought an app yesterday no problem, and it wasn't with the Google Wallet account but Checkout... the issue seems to have started since getting the 'Google Wallet' info in the Market instead.

My card has plenty of credit. It doesn't even buy the app-just instantly gives an error.

Play market

I am trying to buy an app from the market, but it tells me there is an error. I cleared cache, wiped app data, checked my cc info from my computer. I can buy stuff via my pc, but not my phone. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I Have no options to downgrade or remove updates. I can disable and reenable it, Which makes me accept terms and conditions again but still gives me an error code when trying to buy something

you might want to grab an older version of the market app from somewhere, there are plenty of Gapps packages available on the internet.
It's what worked for me when i couldn't install anything from the market. Restore an old backup, and re-upgrade. That fixed it.

The way I did it was through clearing the cache in settings and uninstalling updates. It worked for me after that.

Went into script manager and tried to uninstall, it wouldn't let me. It asked what I wanted to do with the file, and gave options, one is them being install, so installed vender and phonsky again. Went into apps, play was twice is normal size, had the option to uninstall updates, I did so, and cleared cache. Nothing but an error.

it would be good if you post wich error Google Play tell you, then if someone already fixed that can help you.
I've got a problem with google play, it doesn't install anymore any app, free or shareware, so i removed market and installed an older .apk found on the web, from then on, also after the re-update it started again to work. Also if your phone is rooted you can avoid the automatic update.
I hope this could be useful

Sooooo using rom toolbox, I uninstalled play. I grabbed a very old school market, it worked, but it didn't want to update to play. I junked that, I grabbed inverted market (black and blue) and still the same issue.

Try NOT restoring apps. Can you dl fresh install from play store?
If so, dl app from store and only restore app data after...

Yea I saw the screenshots. I use both titanium backup and rom toolbox and I've never had an issue from either no matter the rom. I prefer TB to Rom even though I own licenses to both versions. And yes matter of fact the last screenshot says COMPATIBLE if you were to look at it again.

Try this go to applications/Google play the clear data/catch then uninstall updates. Let it recalculate the app then try opening play store from app drawer. If it works it will reupdate the play store once you enter.
If that don't work then maybe time for a super wipe.

Have you edited the lcd density at all? Did you uninstall or freeze any system apps that play store uses? Do you have system apps that you restored from earlier roms that were on different Android builds? Is your recovery and su app up to date?
This is what I'd try:
Go to app manager then all apps clear data and cache from Google services framework and play store. Reboot.
If that didn't work then id reboot to recovery then format system then advanced restore the system from a nandroid. Next wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions, reboot.
Obviously, have/create a back up before hand
