Hi guys,
I was playing around with the Android 5.0 user feature and I added a picture to my main user (owner) and now I want to delete it and change it back to default. But I can't delete it, it only lets me change to another one. I've look everywhere and there seems to be no solution for this problem. Can anyone help? It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
A little bit brute force but you could flash the system.img with fastboot from 5.0 factory image and that would probable get rid of it

You'll need to be rooted and have a file manger like root explorer

Will a factory reset do the job?

If you google the default image you can download it and use it. This is what I did. http://www.google.ca/search?tbm=isc...edr...0...1ac.1.34.img..6.16.1457.puo_4SDCzqo

I already had installed Titanium Backup on my Nexus 5 but after changing to ART didnt worked any more cause it wasnt compatible, but okay so far no problem. But now i reflashed Cataclysm Rom (so no Titanium Backup installed) and Multiboot and so i wanted to backup my data for the second Rom but now i cant install Titanium Backup on my primary Rom, doesnt matter if i run in ART or change to DALVIK i even tried the newest version wich should run also with ART.
It shows every time the error it couldn't be installed, during installprocess.
If somebody has any idea what could help i would be very glad

Hii , i have the same problem, but i cant find this lib file, please help
Wich file explorer do u use?
does your file explorer has root access?
if yes so go to /data/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup and in this folder should be the .lib file.
this is the folder from your old TitaniumBackup so delete the whole folder and try it again to install.
i hope i could help u
Thanks a lot i found it... And the installation problem solved

Had same problem with LG G3 and solved. Thanks.
picking up an old thread because i have the same problem.
only - the remedy here didn't work for me.
there WAS some remnants of an old install at /data/data/com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup. i killed it, but no jive.
still - "application not installed."
any other pointers?
i am also have the same problem
all files and folders wich name have words "titanium" or "keramidas" deleted from data\app, data\app-lib, data\data
i leave just a folder with backups on sd
but it don't have effect, still can't install
well, i don't remember what exactly i did to get it to work, but i succeeded. one of these:
- version 7.2.0 worked for me
- update busybox
- delete all the tibu data folders (as you've done).
fyi - i'm on cm12.1.

Hi all I tried searching and googling and couldn't find the answer or someone else having my problem. When I try to add a new contact I get the error "Re-enable the people application to use this feature" simple enough right? The only issue is I do not have a People app in my app settings or app drawer. Any ideas? Can anyone post the apk if possible? Really clueless as to how this happened. Phone info: rooted 4.4.2 w/ busy box and xposed framework w/ gravity box.
Thank you,

Hi,
You have deleted or disabled the contact app...?
In Settings/Apps/All see if you have Contacts or go to the disabled tab and see if the Contacts app is there, if yes re-enabled it...
If deleted, take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50542791, I posted some flashable zip file for the Contacts app.

It's not in there, only Contacts Storage and it's not on the disabled apps either; first thing i checked actually. Flashing your odexed contacts.zip Will update shortly. Thanks for the help.

stick it into /system/app/, save it, then reboot. it'll install itself on reboot.
Do I need to rename it to something in particular?

Since you're installing over an older version you need to issue the '-r' arguement.

that's only if installing via adb. i doubt highly that the op used or knows how to use adb.
Hahaha I do know, but was not even close to a computer to push over adb

So there's a preinstalled malware on a chinese tablet, which installs DU apps (battery saver, etc.). ESET shows thats its the online update, which is a HiddenApp. G trojan (https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/...ef9ea8c19454ced640ebedc89f3380332c4/analysis/). So how can i remove it? ESET doesnt want to remove it because its a system app, i contacted ESET via email and they sent me to their forums, no answers yet. I tried a removal tool too but it seems it wont work. How can i remove it? Android 4.4.2 , Smailo Titanius.
BTW: I cant find the file suggested by virustotal. Any help?
Simplest way is tonroot device and just delete the .apk file in system folder

Since it's a Chinese tablet with an mtk processor, you may be able to simply root it with a one click app. I know those Chinese root apps aren't better but it could be the most simple result. Try kingroot, baidu root, stuff like that.

Correctly said. You do not have to alter system and all so a temporary root permissions will also work forbyou

Thanks , It's rooted already, and there wasnt exactly an apk, I only found the app's (mentioned by ESET) package name with package name viewer, and deleted it at internal/data/data folder, I hope this helps. (BTW I haven't found the whole app (.apk), only the data stuff.)
The app name is not exactly what data package shows.
The data is like com.bla.bla abd app name is a sensable one simple.
You have to find that the data which you deleted was created by which app.
Still deleting data cant solve the problem becauae when that app will run it will again create that data

Try /system/app and look for the apk, be careful though deleting a wrong one could result in a soft brick but your probably smarter than that.
