[Q] Can't uninstall apps. CleanRom Seven - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

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

Root explorer did the trick. Thanks.

Titanium backup wants root but I am??

I am rooted and on pa 2.13 ROM but titanium back up days no. I do have the supetuser app but not the su app. Do I need that? Thought they were the same. Not sure how to get it working. Wanted to back up apps
Thanks

When you open TB it should ask iff superuser should allow this program

Try rebooting. Worked for me
You may have to go into Superuser and clear your history of allowed apps. If you accidentally hit deny (or hit back when the Superuser request box came up), TB won't be able to get root access and won't work.
make sure busybox is installed.

This happened to me when the Rom I was installing failed to set the correct permissions on superuser. Download the flashible zip for superuser and flash it in cwm...if that fixed it, you are made in the shade!

you may also want to update binaries, and just clear cache for TB and SU
In addition to all the above helpful comments....Make sure you also go into Developer Options and select "USB Debugging" and also under Security...select "Unknown Sources". That usually causes issues when trying to run TB also.
There's an app called Root Checker which will check your root status. It's free. The paid version, Root Check Pro, also checks for busybox.
Both on Play Store.

All suggestions are correct above plus:Wipe data for titanium in the applications area under settings, this happens to me every so often when changing rom's. Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling will fix it too. Make sure su is fully updated as well.

Problem with updates.

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?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
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.

OK try using titanium backup to reinstall YouTube. This should work if you used titanium backup to back up the file first.

My phone was frozen?!?

My HTC VilleC2 was unlocked bootloader, using rom cook JB 4.1 and has flashed SuperSU.zip. But when I use Titanium Backup to uninstall a few apps aren't used in the system such as Google+, Stock, FriendStream, ... it's ok, but when I restarting the phone everything returns to original, the apps wasn't uninstall. But some apps I don't uninstall that only Freeze then when I reboot the phone, it's fine, it's still frozen. I also use Root Explorer to delete some audio files in Notification, Ringtone, Alarm directories... but when I rebooting the phone, everything back to original. Does anyone know what that is the cause? Pls help!!!
P/s: Sorry for my bad english
i remember some talk of deletions not taking, forget where and why. maybe google/search

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

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.
