[Q] Help Please

Hello to all who may be able to help, and thanks in advance. I am kinda new to android, and tried some things i should have researched more, so please no reprimands, i already kinda feel like a dumbass for it. I have a moto droid 2. I rooted using the Z4 root in the app market. I then installed system app remover, also from market. I was not planning on flashing new roms, just getting rid of bloat and maybe replacing some of the original apps with market stuff that in my opinion is better. I realized that the app remover i was using did not seem to show all the system apps. I downloaded titanium backup and gave it a whirl. I removed some of the stock apps, and when i did not like the result tried to reinstall them only to find out that titanium backup only backs up the data, not the app itself(System app remover does, and beeing a noob, i assumed that titanium would be the same). So now i am sitting here with a rooted droid 2, with a complete titanium backup, that still works(minus the apps i uninstalled), and i was wondering if anyone could advise me on how to get some of the factory apps back, and maybe also advise me on better ways to accomplish what i am doing. Again Thanks in advance and sorry to take your time with noob stuff. I did not know where else to turn, the people on this forum seem to be the Samurai-Ninja-Gurus of andriod.

Please anyone, i really need some help.

[Q] How to uninstall preinstaled apps in T-mobile move

Hello
I own T-mobile mome (probablly alcatel OT 908) and internal memory is very low. I would like uinstal some apps . I supposed that Titanium backup would be enough but if i want to uninstal some preinstaled app Titanium backup says "APK file cannot be found"
Do you know any other solution (android 2.2)
thank you

need to be rooted
antTek app manager root 0.971
u must make buckups for each uninstalled app, I had problem after factory reset!

I have the same problem
Hello,
I also have an Alcatel OT-908 and I had the same problem as you. What I did was root the phone using Gingerbreak v1.2, and then I installed an application called AndroidMate. With the program's File Explorer option you can go to /custpack/app and delete any unnecessary applications. Be careful not to delete anything useful though, and it is always a good idea to backup first. However, this is only a partial solution to your problem (and mine as well). I still get low memory warnings and the only other solution I could find on the net for people with similar problems (on different phones) was to install a custom rom. I've posted a question in the General Q&A forum,if you find a custom rom that supports Alcatel 908 please share it with the rest of us.

[Completed] [Q] Can't uninstall non-existing app nor reinstall it

So before I start telling my "story" I'd first like to warn you that this is really hard to explain for me so please don't be angry.
Yesterday I got myself a 32 GB Micro sdcard for my phone, previously I had a 8 GB one.
I had partitioned my old card so I could link apps to my sd card using Link2SD, so before using my new SD Card I first had to partition it.
After countless of hours I finally managed to partition it correctly with AParted. I had made a backup with CWM because I was told it would backup my 2nd partition aswell.
So I tried to use the advanced restore option in CWM to restore my apps that were linked. But this never worked.
This wasn't that big of a problem, the only thing I had to do is reinstall a couple of apps. Too bad for me my phone still thought the apps were there, while they WEREN'T.
Let's call these app "Ghost" apps to make it easy.
I found out that these "Ghost" apps could only be seen under the "apps" section under "storage". NO other app could see them.
When trying to reinstall a "Ghost" app via the play store or other sources my device said it has insufficient memory. For example I tried to reinstall soundcloud, but it said I had insufficient memory.
So I went to back to my apps and deleted the "Ghost" version of soundcloud. After I did this I was able to reinstall soundcloud. And this happened to all the apps.
Now here is where we meet our problem. I also linked the system apps GMail and Google Chrome to my old sd Card, so now they were "Ghosted" aswell.
But you can't uninstall system apps via the "apps" menu. This is where I got stuck, I literally tried almost EVERY system app remover/ file manager to try and remove the apps manually or via an app.
Now finally here is my question:
Is there any way for me to remove the "Ghost" Chrome and Gmail OR reinstall them via another way? I've searched on the internet for hours for a similar problem but couldn't find anyone.
I'm kind of new in the advanced Android world, but I do know a thing or two.
I hope you will be able to answer my Question!
Now here are some details:
Phone:
Samsung Xcover 2 (GT-S7710)
Rooted?:
Yes, my phone is rooted
Custom rom?:
No I'm running the stock version for now.
Ask me for more info if needed
Here are some screenshots from the "Ghost" apps:
Sorry I'm a new member, I can't post outside links. So I can't supply my screenshots via the forums for now
Hope this is enough information, Thanks in advance!
Please do Note I do not have GMail on my phone right now, so it might take me a bit longer to answer any questions or test possible solutions.

I found the solution to my problem.
So thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

[Completed] Problem restoring app data with Titanium Backup

Hi
I have been struggling for a while to get the phone working again. When Dropbox failed to sync my 1gb pdf file, my /data became corrupted, I couldn't install anything and it was set as read only.
Managed to fastboot into CWM and perform a mkfs /ext2 on /data, and from then I was able to format /data. Thus I now have a "fresh" Kitkat OS.
Before I had these problems, I have made two nandroid backups (CWM and TWRP) and one Titanium backup. The CWM went gone when I did the parted mkfs /ext 2 so I couldn't restore from that. When I restored from TWRP, I got the UID mismatched error your device is unstable. So I thought it was a nandroid backup failure, and deleted that backup.
The only backup I have left is Titanium Backup. But everytime I try to restore an app + data, I get "Parsing error" and it hangs there. Using ES File Explorer I am able to install the .apk from the Titanium Backup folder but not the data. If i try to reinstall the data, the app goes grey in the launcher and I have to delete it (refering to the file uiderrors.txt in /data/system) from /data/data and /data/app.
I thought it was permissions but if "Fix Permissions" with CWM, upon every reboot I will get the "UID mismatched, please wipe /data because you're unstable" message. But I have discovered that if i "Fix Permissions" with TWRP at recovery, I was able to get rid of that message. I don't know if this is related to the problem I am having.
Right now I have a TitaniumBackup folder that is dated Jan 2016, but Titanium Backup thinks there's a parsing error on it. This is probably the newest version I got from the Play Store (non-Donate).
Device is Asus A68 Padfone
ROM is stock Kitkat
Rooted : Yes, TitaniumBackup is listed under SuperSU
The app I'm trying to restore data with is:
com.clapfootgames.tankhero <- this is the app I'm currently testing the data restore with
Flighttrack
Glympse
ED TradePad
Elite Notes
OpenTTD
Pocket (Read it later)
SimpleMind
Simple Rockets
and probably some others
I have gone through the "similar threads" as recommended on the top of this form page but they are not related to the problem I am having.
Please point me in the right direction

Hi Art, thanks for your reply. I do n't think its a device-specific issue because it used to work on the same device without a problem, only after I lost access to /data mount (it became read-only) did this become a problem.
Nevertheless, apparently the new updates in SuperSU has "mount namespace" on and TitaniumBackup gave me warnings about that. I unchecked it in SuperSU and I'm not able to restore my data.. phew.

[Completed] Remove everything from android except wi-fi

I want to make some kind of secure android device for myself.
First: I want to remove gsm, bluetooth, gps, nfc device drivers and just leave with wi-fi.
Second: Want to remove all the apps that produce internet traffic and send data to internet except app that i use.
What i have done: I have rooted my ZTE Blade X3 (T620) and with root explorer started to remove files from /dev/ directory, but in fact i do not know what files i have to delete get my phone work after reboot. I use Titanium Backup to remove the apps, but deleting some apps make phone not starting, so i need to go back to TWRP and recover from backup to do everything from the begining.
Can anyone point me from where i have to start learning things to do all the stuff?
What have i need to do? Build kernel or build my own ROM, just remove apps or what?
