Hi, I have a Samsung Admire and have been using Adfree perfectly fine before. However, after upgrading Android from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 to fix the WIFI error, I can't seem to get Adfree to work again.
I get the following error message when trying to install the Hosts:
java.io.IOException: Error running exec(). Command: [su] Working Directory: null Environment: null
How do I get this app to work again?
Uninstall & reinstall. Try to clear cache & dalvik cache in recovery. Worst case scenario, I think, is to wipe everything and install from scratch.

I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and wiping cache in recovery before, but to no avail. I didn't try wiping dalvik cache before. After uninstalling, wiping out cache and dalvik cache in recovery, and reinstalling, the error is still there.
I am not sure what you mean by "wipe everything and install from scratch". I would understand how to do that if it was on my PC, but not on my smartphone.
By that I meant, as a last-resort option, to completely wipe everything as if you're gonna flash a new ROM. Format everything through recovery, flash ROM, kernel (if applicable), gapps, whatever else. Then set up your google acct. & restore apps from titanium backup, or reinstall all apps from scratch.
BTW, you shouldn't restore Adfree, it should definitely be installed fresh from Google Play.

As much as I would like to give your method a try, it seems too complicated to do. First of all, I never format my phone before. Even though I know how to format a PC, doing the same thing on the phone seems to be new and unfamiliar to me.
Second of all, it seems to be quite a lot of troubles just to fix that error. I wonder if there is a manual method of removing the ads.
Ok, just to be sure you don't have a problem with su, go into the Superuser app, check for updates, and force an update even if there's no new version (it also makes sure the file has the proper permissions).

Yay! That was the problem. Thank you so much! Wow, AdFree app didn't get rid of most of the ads as it used to, but oh, well...it is better than nothing.
Hi,
I'm using ported ics with badsouls rom. I get this error when I try to download something on the play store.
when I delete my google account and add it again after a reboot, I can download all the apps again.
But after some hours the error repeats. someone know how to fix the error? Could it be an error because of superchargerv6 and the modified services.jar file?
thank you for your help
What rom are you using?

There isn't a way that I know of where you don't need to wipe data. I just use titanium backup to backup all my apps and settings.
Go to settings/account and sync remove your account. then re-add it.. and wait until it sync completely try that and let me know..
you can flash the new rom ontop of the other without wiping.. i recommend wiping cache and delvik
I installed v1.1, but have the same problem.
I even downloaded a new phonesky.apk like suggested in badsouls thread.
After I wipe cache / dalvkit and delete google account, I can download apps short after it.
But after some hours the problem comes back.
wipe
you can wipe data or reFlash rom .
I did already both, but error is still their.
I got NEWMAN N1 , some application were fine to install with Market some others (like Instagam) )I got error (RPC:..)
Finally I solved it by install via Chrom browser.
I don't want to re install account, why to do it ? , gmail is fine... all is fine...
Why google can't fix this LAME error
Hi everyone,
I have been using my nexus 5 since 4-5 days now and everything was working fine till last night when whatsapp started giving me errors (unfortunately app has been closed). I uninstalled whatsapp and when I am trying to re install it, its now giving me error "unknown error code on application install -24"
I have tried installing via apk, playstore's website, cleared the cache and data of playstore app, rebooted phone but nothing works.
I am hesitant to root my nexus 5 as there is no official recovery available and people are having issues when rooting the device and I cannot afford to have an unstable phone. Hard reset is an option but I would like to avoid it if possible. I have read that if I delete the related whatsapp folder from data/data folder somehow then it will fix the issue. Is there any way I could access and delete that folder without being rooted or if someone has any other solution to my problem.
Any help is much appreciated

Same thing happened to me, Did you enable ART? Because that's what caused my errors (force closing). After switching back to Dalvik and trying to re-install, i was getting -24 error on the play store. I rebooted a few times and left it for a few hours. Tried again and it worked.
Whatsapp is i believe in-compatible with ART.

Okay, As for as i know, it did fix itself when i rebooted a few times and after a while it just worked.
Things i also tried that might have helped. Clear cache for the playstore which you tried. i would do this again after you switched back to Dalvik. and make sure whatsapp is uninstalled before switching to Dalvik. Once you switch back and have cleared cache from the playstore, try to re-install Whatsapp.
As for the backup, on your phone is a whatsapp folder that has a backup of your messages and photos etc. When you re-install whatsapp it'll pick that up and restore your stuff. There is no need to delete that folder.
I Hope that fixes it for you.

Right so far thats what i did, and thats exactly what happened to me. I just left it for a few hours and tried again it worked. Just give it a few hours and re-try / reboot and re-try.
It didnt work. I had to factory reset my phone eventually and wasted my evening doing all the restores, I wish Android had a seamless backup system something like that of Apple's. Helium/Titanium/mybackup, all of them have some kind of flaws

I am not rooted at the moment so TB wasnt really an option. Helium works fine only for apps and their data but I am looking for something that can restore my phone exactly how it was before the reset including home screens, settings etc without being rooted.

That what you are looking for would be a nandroid backup made in a custom recovery, that restores everything. But not possible without root.
Hi,
I have the same problem. Error -24 if I want to install Whatsapp from Google Play Store. Local installation after downloading the APK from Whatsapp gives also an error (app not installed).
Tried several times to delete the cache and setting of the Play Store app and the Google Framework. Followed by restarts of the phone. Until now I was NOT succesful.
As far as I read on other forums, the problem is, that in data/data/ already exists a Whatsapp-directory and therefore Whatsapp doesn't want to install. You could delete this directory, but only if you are rooted. I avoided this step until now, because it's a new phone with warranty and after rooting, all data ist wiped.
I also tried adb to delete this directory, but same effect. Because the phone is not rooted, I can't remove this directory by remote shell.
Is there no way to clean up such remains WITHOUT root?

Hi all,
Have rooted device(5.0.1 stock) and made the sad mistake of deleting the google photos app accidentally. I have tried a few different ways an could not restore it. Downloaded a few other gallery apps and I am having issues with them also, the error "android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCantOpenDedatabaseException:unknown error (code 14): Could not open database" keeps coming up and I believe it is tied to this. Anyone know how to go about fixing this? Or how I can get the Google Photos app? tried adb sideload for GAAPS and that didn't work.
It would be preferable that I didn't have to reflash the rom.
Thanks in advanced!

If you are on stock, you can flash the factory image without losing data...
Just delete the -w flag from the script.
use fastboot update image.zip
with fastboot -w update image.zip it would wipe your data, without -w it keeps your data

hope this helps, cheers

You need the apps, that you removed and install them via root explorer.

Even if he talk about reflashing, this is better option, because you don't have to look for system dump and study which apps you have to install to fix things up.

I ended up reflashing it thanks. Even with the google photos app on my phone i'm still getting the error "android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCantOpenDedatabaseE xception:unknown error (code 14): Could not open database" do you know what could be causing this?

I think that you have fo flash again, but this time wipe your data too. In some cases also data partition can cause problems.
Yes, this is a straight-forward fail - I am running a CM13-based ROM and flashed a nightly build (has been redrawn meanwhile) onto my N5 without backing up first. Right after the first reboot, I received a "Play Services has stopped working" error message and this keeps appearing all the time. Additionally, the Google Now Launcher has disappeared from my launcher list - and of course, all the Play Services-dependent features don't work, i.e. Chrome, Contacts sync, Play Store and so on. So, my phone basically is useless.
I suspect all the problems arise from the non-working Play Services. I managed to uninstall them after deactivating the Android Device Manager and re-installed the latest version, but this didn't fix the problem. Is there anything else I can try? Or is there no way around a complete wipe?
have u flashed Gapps?
Tried it, but didn't help either. I'll just go for a full wipe now. But thank you for answering!

try clearing Cache and dalvik cache and then delete the host file from "etc" folder!
I should've tried deleting the host file. Wiping Dalvik and Cache didn't work before...
Anyway, I took the opportunity, put my 32GB mainboard in and set up everything from scratch.
Are you using amplify?
No, I didn't use that.
