Problem with updates. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm rooted and running the newest eclipse ROM. Im having trouble when updating apps such as gmail and such. The error code is saying that the package file was not signed correctly and that I must uninstall to configure. Doesn't work.. Any similar issues?

Sometimes if you restored apps through titanium or something similar you might just have to uninstall then reinstall through the play store. Save the data through titanium and if the new reinstall works just restore data only.

redownloading all your apps?

I have titanium backup but is there anyway to freshly download all your apps from Play all at once?
I have tried to let google backup my device but it never works that great. Just wondering beccause Ive been restoring from backups for al ong time and my phone is getting pretty laggy lately and I would kind of just like to start fresh
thanks
You could always restore just the apk without data with titanium. The play store will detect which apps require updating. It's just the same as downloading them.

when apps update in the play store to your device, do they reinstall the app everytime with the updated one or just do incremental updates of files in the app?

Hmm, not sure about that...I'd have thought it would always update with the most updated version but what if the newest version isn't compatible with your phone? (it happened to me a couple of times).
Update you apps. Erase backup in tb. Backup updated apps using backup apps only. Now you have a new backup of all your updated apps.

Are you restoring the apps from Titanium Backup, or are you reinstalling them from scratch?
I'm just flashing updates over my current ROM. I've tried doing a total reset and it works until I flash an update

The update is breaking something. If you reinstalled the affected apps, it would probably fix the problem. I can't guarantee, however, that reinstalling would keep your app's data intact. It should, though.
If you use Titanium Backup (you can use the free version), after an update you can restore the affected app's data, or app+data, and it should fix the problem.
Or... don't update the ROM
Thanks!

Google Play Store "No Connection"

So I have a rooted GS3 running stock 4.1.2 and I flashed one of those inverted Google play store apps using twrp. Then when I rebooted my device for another reason and went into the play store, it said no connection even though my WiFi and 4g are both fine. I uninstalled all updates to the app, but then the play store would crash even when running in the background. So I found the latest version of the play store I could online, which was 4.0.2.5 which isn't the most recent. But now I still have the same no connection problem. Any solutions? I've also tried clearing data and cache from the app

Have you tried Google Play Store 4.1.10 yet?

This happened to me to me once, I fixed it by restoring a backup. I couldn't really figure out what was causing it. I know I messed it up by clearing data on system framework. But I have no idea how that messed it up.
You could just flash a custom rom and that will fix the issue. The problem is that the playstore is being updated constantly. Any Inverted playstore I have running ends up getting automatically updated to the most recent release anyways, so I just kind of gave up theming it. You probably installed an old version of playstore. The playstore must have some automatic connection protocol that enables it to automatically update without permission, and an old playstore might not allow that connection.
You might just be able to completely delete the playstore from your phone to install a recent one, but I have no idea if that would work. Someone has to know how to fix this without a restore or flashing a new rom.

So pretty much I should just do a Titanium Backup for all my apps except the Play Store, install the custom ROM, then restore the data for all my apps and hope the Play Store works?

That will work for sure, just have to find a custom rom you like. Your play store won't restore even if it's backed up through titanium. It's a good idea to have titanium anyway.
Never restore system data, only restore user apps + data. That's known to cause problems after a restore.

Are you new to flashing roms? Just make sure you do all the proper steps first.
Nandroid and unlock bootloader first.
factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache, format system, then flash rom.
Follow the instructions on the roms page and you're good to go.

I'm now at the point where Google Drive and Google+ keep crashing too. I'm realizing this is a problem with all the google apps, so what would happen if I just flashed a gapps zip file for 4.1.2 via TWRP? would that work since this seems to be a problem within all the apps by google? im running the latest ota, the MD3 build.

That is very strange, give it a shot, flashing a gapps package might work. I do think it's a problem with the Google apps though, so your play store is working right? I think all you need now is let the play store auto update. Maybe there's a way to force it. That should allow the rest of your apps to work.

Yup. Play store worked after that, but I went ahead and still flashed a custom rom

so if anybody having this problem again
i get mine fixed by doing this :
1. Open any file explorer that have root access
2. Search for a folder named "system" and then look for a folder that says "etc"
3. Inside "etc" folder search for a file that says "host" . edit that text using any text editor
4. Delete everything in the host file
5. Save
I ended up fixing it by flashing another rom, using titanium backup to copy the play store. and then reflashed back to the original rom I was using and then restored with copy of the play store i previously had.

The host file is read-only, I can't modify it.
I too have the same issue and cannot edit the file due to read-only permissions.

[Q] Can't uninstall apps. CleanRom Seven

I have been trying to uninstall a couple of old apps I don't use anymore, but am having troubles. I am using the newest version of CleanRom. When I try to uninstall using application manager, play store, or titanium backup the system just hangs like it's trying to uninstall, but with no progress. I also tried using adb to uninstall an app using a terminal emulator and was having the same problems. Any one else seen this or know a way to successfully uninstall an app?
Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest booting into recovery and wiping both caches then try again after it loads. Next, dirty flash the rom without wiping anything and see if you can uninstall apps.
Clearing the caches did not work. I'll have to try a dirty install in the morning. Well let you know. Thanks.

Try using a root explorer and delete them manually. Titanium backup will tell you where they are located

application won't uninstall properly

I have nexus 5, currently flashed a stock image for Android 5.0 lollipop, before that I backed up my applications and data using Titanium backup application.
What's happening currently is that whenever I uninstall an application from the device, it will show it's been uninstalled, but if I try to install it again, either the installation will fail, or the application won't run properly after installation.
I did some investigations and found that the application is not removed from the packages.xml file, and the file would uninstalled properly only if I use the adb uninstall package command.
any idea what might be causing this issue?
What method are you using to uninstall an app?
From Settings, from Titanium Backup, or removing the folder/apk?
From settings only.
