application won't uninstall properly - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Titanium Backup(The app itself) won't install or uninstall.

Hi, this is kind of a difficult question for me to explain, but I will try.
I have Titanium Backup installed and it was working fine for a while.
One day the icon went corrupt and the app would not open.
Naturally I went to uninstall and reinstall the apk.
When I uninstalled, the app icon and links disappeared and the app ceased to function, but the app did not uninstall.
When I try to reinstall, it asks to replace the old with the new one.
The install finishes with "Application Not Installed"
I can not access Titanium Backup at all.
I have tried using ADB to uninstall and I have uninstalled from the manage applications. I also tried deleting the .apk from /data/app/.
Titanium backup will no longer show up in my Manage Application menu.
I made a flashable .zip from another phone and installed it that way, TiBu still did not show up in the app list, but all the files are in the phones filesystem.
Hopefully someone can help me fix this without reinstalling the ROM.
The problem phone: HTC Hero CDMA CM7 Nightlies.
Thank you!
I hate to bump my own post, but my thread seems to have gotten lost among newer ones and I do not know where else to ask for help fixing it.

titanium backup problem "application not installed"

I have installed titanium backup on my old rom "HTC EXplorer Jaggyrom 3.2.1" and have back up off all my user apps
then i installed Jaggyrom 4.0.3 and tried to restore apps that i need
it works
except some apps it takes very long time on restoring and it never restore it like facebook and montano reader premium
and i can`t stop it unless i reboot my device
when normally tries to install these apps after that from apk it says "application not installed"
i tried to search if titanium resotred some files that hinder installation but i can`t find something
Any help?
or should i reflash the rom and install from scratch apk
uninstall Tiba,again install it.
if it's in the system app
Uninstall it
Again install it by moving that apk using root explorer in the same path with proper permissions
If still it doesn't work
Try re flashing...
And then install Tiba
Hope it helps

the problem started when i tried to restore app+data
so i think when app is reinstalled there are some files that prevent installation
i will reflash it

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?

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.

fix/bypass signatures do not match the previously installed version

So i need to back up app which has backup function disabled, so i decompiled app, changed backup to true and compiled, app installed and i could back it up with adb but data was gone, i needed to keep /data/data/com.myapp so i did, with pm uninstall -k and it kept data but now i can't install my modified version, it gives me error "signatures do not match the previously installed version" is there any way around this?
i don't need some root solutions, my goal is to back it up from pc with adb without root
i also tried to extract data with app not installed, but didn't work, what tells phone not to back it up if app is not installed? data itself?
EDIT: oh boi, i just realised this is general thread, can't delete or move, mods please? xD

can't recall solving it. my guess is that it's not possible on newer android versions anymore
The app data will be encrypted, only way I know of is root and use titanium backup pro or similar app

Mate 9 question

I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone and installed TWRP. I then installed an uninstaller app (root) to uninstall a system app. (Email) because I use the Gmail app but I am not successful in uninstalling the system email app. What am I doing wrong?
I haven't rooted this device yet (Was all Samsung devices before), but removing system apps can sometimes give odd results. Processes crashing ect. (When I removed Facebook from my Stock Note 4, It made it so I couldn't auto rotate anymore. Needed a fix here on XDA someone found). What I would do is install Titanium Backup and uninstall it that way (Make Titanium Backup actually back up the app first, then remove)
