Fifa2010.exe can't be found -- improper uninstall: how to fix?

I thought I knew how to fix this sort of thing but obviously I was wrong!
OK, so I installed a couple of World Cup apps, to see which one I liked the best. My first mistake was deleting the cab files from both my PC and device, thinking, "Why do I need to keep these? Once the World cup is over, I'll uninstall the apps anyway." Consequently, I can't remember the name of the one I uninstalled (doh!). It may have been something like "Soccer Updater": I tried searching for it, both in this forum and via Google, but could find nothing that matched -- the closest was something by Emoze, but that looked like a Symbian app, so I discounted it.
The one I kept was "World Cup 2010", from http://www.mobilepractices.com/. The other one I installed never seemed to update -- I even tried setting an option that would apparently do the updates automatically, but that didn't appear to work either. So I uninstalled the app. My second mistake (in case you haven't caught it already) was to have failed to undo the auto-update feature of the app before uninstalling it: what I think is happening is that the auto-update command is attempting to execute, but can't find the app so it complains with a message saying that Fifia2010.exe cannot be found (executing around 03:00, but not every day).
Now I thought there was a way I could fix this using FdcSoft's Task Manager, but I poked around looking for something that would lead me to this executable (the Notifications and Services tabs were what I thought to be the most likely) but no joy. I then searched through the registry for "Fifa201" and "Fifa2010.exe" but there were no matches.
Any help/advice/pointers would be appreciated.

- uninstall all the applications involved (get the list in the usual list on application installed)
- reboot your phone
- connect to PC
- browse the "program files" directories to see if there is some remaining folders of the uninstalled applications
- if so found, delete (or to be sure, just rename in old_xxxx)
- reboot your phone
- réinstall world cup 2010
- reboot your phone
- check if the soft was correctly installed
- try it

Thanks, Corwin95, but the scan of "program files" turned up nothing suspicious.

Moved as not software release.

OK, I understand the move, but it appears to have placed this post in obscurity!

Seems I was right: this /has/ been relegated to obscurity -- bump!

[Q] Import tablet help

Hello sorry if i am posting in the wrong place but the android section said no noobs.
I have bought today a cheap import android device, it comes with a rubbish Marketplace not the official one. Is this a licence issue? if so then i apologise for my thread
If not how can i get all the official goggle apps on my device.
I have downloaded and installed z4root and it seems to work but i don't know how to use it. (i have no usb adapter from my ebay purchase)
when i try and install the vending.apk it fails using the default package manager (labled PK manager on the slate) I have also tried through ASTRO but this just redirects to the previous manager mentioned.
The android version i have is not real afaik
Firmware 1.6
Kernel 2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty
Build 1.9
Shows v1.9_710cu on boot up
What i am after is plainly a functioning slate for use in the uk and without the Marketplace this seems a way off (my wife needs to be able to use too so dropping apk's on the SD is not really an option)
So my question(s)
Can i install goggle apps including marketplace
Can i use an android image from elsewhere (i doubt this with import hardware)
Do i need a usb cable (hope not as i think it is a proprietary connection)
I have a SD card in it, a wireless connection up running and a wealth of OS's on pc's around the house Windows, unbubtu, mint etc..
Any help would be much appreciated (if i'm not breaking the rules here)
Cheers
Ikea

some progress
i have managed to get "better terminal emulatior Pro" installed, is it possible to use this to install vending.apk? if so what format would the command line be?

[Q] (app) could not be installed on this phone.

I have recently got a free Archos 7 Home Tablet, and it works fine! (Except for the slow CPU and ****ty touchscreen, but that's ok ).
There's just 1 thing that's really making me angry.
I cannot install any (outside market) downloaded APK's! I have appslib, and the regular market installed, all applications I've downloaded in them (so far) have been able to be installed. But whenever I download a .apk file from the internet, it ALWAYS says "<application name> could not be installed on this phone.".
I have tried manually signing applications with Java SDK's keytool.exe and jarsigner.exe. Also tried a bunch of solutions online. No luck!
The device is running Android 1.6 (I think it's a cusom rom, it says "By knightdominion" in the spash loading screen.).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am an experienced computer user, so if you only have advanced things to try: I'll likely be able to do them.

Teclast P78HD 7" Retina Allwinner A31 Android 4.4.2 firmware upgrade + root (tablet)

Teclast P78HD 7" Retina Allwinner A31 Android 4.4.2 firmware upgrade + root (tablet)

Costing only about $100, the Teclast P78HD tablet is a decent bargain 7" tablet. It has a quad-core Allwinner A31 CPU, a 1920 x 1200 display, Android 4.4.2 KitKat, microSD slot, and micro-HDMI.
It lacks GPS and not pre-rooted. I purchased from TinyDeal.com and added a couple of bucks for faster, more reliable ePacket delivery.
The original firmware v1.1.2 comes with a boatload of (unwanted) pre-installed Chinese apps, most cannot be uninstalled, using up valuable internal storage space and reducing available RAM. The Teclast tUI launcher seems to try to prevent the user from accessing all apps since it lacks an "all apps" circle button. It does have Google Play Store installed along with a Chinese TaiDian apps store. I immediately downloaded the Nova launcher to replace the tUI launcher.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
General operation seemed quite snappy and the Retina display resolution was clearly noticed while playing movies. I did get the impression that internet web access seemed a bit slower than it should be.
The P78HD is much lighter (half of the weight?) of my Nexus 7 (2012) tablet. Most of the lower weight is likely to be from a thinner battery. So, the downside is shorter battery time and upside is faster full charging.
The light weight makes the P78HD more comfortable for extended use than the Nexus 7. That comfort, however, was diminished by the hard metallic bezel edges of the P78HD when compared to the Nexus 7's softer rounded edges. When holding the P78HD in landscape mode, the wider top/bottom bezel was comfortable. In portrait mode, however, it was much less so. For comfort, I would definitely recommend adding a soft case/shell, example: http://gd1.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/678991471/T2um7tXqJaXXXXXXXX-678991471.jpg
I unsuccessfully tried several links and ways to "root" the P78HD in order to uninstall all the unwanted Chinese apps. There is a Teclast app called Update. One of the advertised features of Teclast is its easier OTA updates. Since a new firmware version v2.03 was just released, I tried to update, hoping that the new firmware would be "pre-rooted". Using the "automated" option of the Teclast Update app, I got an error (in bad English) that basically said that the file could not be found.
I then searched for a link to download new firmware in order to use the Teclast Update "manual update" option. The downloaded v2.03 firmware ( http://dl.dbank.com/c0ckts308s ) comes packaged in RAR format. I used Windows 7Zip to unpack the *.rar file and extracted the actual *.img file. I also repacked the package as a new *.zip file. I copied the *.rar, *.zip, and *.img files to the P78HD's internal sdcard root directory. Unfortunately, even the "manual update" option just gave a failure message when trying to update using the *.rar, *.zip, or *.img file as source. My experience suggests that the Teclast "Update" app is simply broken, at least for firmware updates.
Next method, try the Allwinner PhoenixSuit Windows software included in the downloaded RAR package. The MSI install program is in the Chinese language but you can probably guess how it works. If not, here is a (not tested) English version: http://itead.me/ITEADDownload/software/PhoenixSuit_EN.msi
I started the PhoenixSuit software. It asks to upgrade to the latest version. I connected the P78HD via USB and got this display:
I clicked the Firmware tab and entered my source file P78HD(C4A5).img location. It failed. As my programmer hunch, I renamed the file to remove the parentheses and put it in C:\ root directory. This time it starts working.
You have two options: (Y) format or (N) normal upgrade. I wanted a clean start without any leftover bloatware apps so I chose YES.
The v2.03 firmware transfer process starts and when done the P78HD reboots. Everything worked fine.
Upon reboot I note that there are far fewer bloatware Chinese apps. Of course, I have to go into Settings, find the "A" icon and change the language from Chinese to English (top line). Next, set up my WI-FI and add my Google Account. Then add a few apps, starting with Nova launcher. Unfortunately, v2.03 firmware is still not rooted. However, I decided to try Kingo Android ROOT again (it did not work with v1.1.2 firmware.) With the P78HD connected via USB, this time it seems to work but too quickly. I checked using a Root Verifier app on the P78HD. It says no. I then try the Kingo ROOT AGAIN option. This time it really works.
Now as a rooted device, I used the Root App Delete app to uninstall pre-installed Chinese software, users apps and a few "system apps". (For safety, you can use PhoenixSuit's APK tab to backup most of your apps first.)
Next, I ran AnTuTu and AnTuTu X benchmark apps to compare to my Nexus 7 (2012) tablet.
Code:
AnTuTu AnTuTu X
Nexus 7 (2012) 13,309 13,730
Teclast P78HD 20,795 12,790
Using the DiskInfo app, it seems that memory optimization in Google's Nexus 7 is lacking in the P78HD. Ditto for internal storage usage.
As someone who experiments with lots of apps, I have about 300 apps installed on my old Nexus 7. So far, I have less than 100 on the P78HD. One reason is that even by moving from internal to SDcard storage, you have to manage the internal storage space much more deliberately on the P78HD. Despite having 3 times as many apps on my Nexus 7, I am able to keep my internal storage usage considerably lower than on the P78HD. Regarding RAM usage, the Nexus 7 is typically under 50% in use while the P78HD is over 70%.
Bottom line: Google's optimizations on its Nexus line can make up for a lot when compared to better spec'd but less optimized competing tablets. For the price, however, the Teclast P78HD is no slouch in performance or stability. It is still quite a bargain if screen resolution, and micro-SD and HDMI features and cost are high on your list of priorities.

Thank you for the info :victory: if you find other update please share did you notice some weird things ? like desktop icons disappear randomly, fast battery drain an when you are on 10% last more, if you update supersu app can't update su binary, see ya!

I never had icons disappear but maybe because I don't use the Teclast tUI launcher. I had no problem with the much better Nova launcher.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
I did decide that Teclast's less than ideal internal memory management required something better than the built-in Android App2SD method used by utilities like Clean Master, SD Maid, All-in-One Toolbox, and AppMgr III. These utilties are only able to move a small proportion of apps to the internal SD card. If you plan to install lots of apps, you need something better like Link2SD.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
To use Link2SD, your tablet must be rooted and you need to divide an external microSD card into two "primary partitions", (1) one FAT32 (Windows) partition and (2) one EXT4 (Linux) partition. I used Partition Wizard's free "MiniTool" partition manager:
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
I used a 16GB class 10 micro-SD card. I made the first (FAT32) partition 14GB and the second (EXT4) partition 2GB.
2GB is probably far more than enough for moved apps and linking used by Link2SD, especially if you go to Link2SD Settings and change preferred Move2SD location to "Internal".
I plan to leave this 16GB micro-SD card in my Teclast P78HD permanently. (The reason: if this external SD is not present while the tablet is active, you are likely to really screw up some links and changes made by Link2SD. Your moved apps may be considered either missing or corrupted.)
Using Link2SD, I can now move almost all "user apps" from "internal storage" to (external) sdcard, apps that cannot be moved by these other utilities. I can also "really" uninstall most of the unwanted Chinese apps that other utility programs claim to uninstall but actually fail to do so.
I am not certain if this is correct, but I tend prefer to use Link2SD's "move2SD" method and not Link2SD's "link" method because (1) links may be more vulnerable to corruption (2) links may add possible overhead that "could" slow things down or use more memory. If this is wrong, I hope that someone who is more experienced with Link2SD can correct me.

Hi, thank you!
I am really looking forward to root and update the FW on this tablet.
Did you also optimized it somehow? (modify of build.prob etc..)
I think there is lot of space for optimization because device is laggy in normal 2D mode, more that my old 1 core 512MB memory phone on Android 4.4. Also kernel is pretty old on original FW 1.1.2, CPU is underclocked (looks like)....
Otherwise it's good tables, screen is great, resolution is ideal for web browsing. I don't play games so 3D performance is not a problem for me.
HD movies are played smoothly and OK

Hi,
I have problem root the device, your kingo_android_root.zip archive is "infected" regarding google drive:
"Sorry, this file is infected with a virus
Only the owner is allowed to download infected files."
I have tried to root over version I downloaded from internet but it doesn't work, it detect that device is already rooted (not true) and re-root is not successful.
Any idea? What version of Kingo root do you have tested and it's working OK?

It is not infected. Rooting software typically contains methods to bypass security so you may get a false positive.
Here's the direct download link: http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm
For rooting, make sure that you have enabled "USB debugging" in your tablet's Settings -> Developer options
Connect to a USB 2.0 port if possible and not a USB 3.0 port.
Swipe down from top of the tablet's screen to see notifications.
The bottom line notification will probably be 'Connect as ...'
Click that line and make sure that 'USB large storage' is checked (not MTP or PTP)
Swipe down again from the top line notification may say 'USB connected'
Click that line and click 'Turn on USB storage'
After it is "really" connected, try the Kingo Root software again.
If "ROOT" or "ROOT AGAIN" works, then you're done.
If not, disconnect the USB cable and reconnect a few seconds later. Try again.

Hi,
I have found that I must turn on "USB Storage", then it's rooting really successful
So correct procedure is:
- turn USB debugging ON
- select "USB large storage" in "USB computer connection" pop-up
- >> activate USB storage in "USB connected" pop-up << (this was missing in my previous attempt)
After that, rooting is succesfull!
I have removed over 20 applications and now I have 13862 score in AntutuX. In older fw was around 11000.
There is also possible to overclock CPU from default 1200Mhz up to 1450Mhz. For me, 1350Mhz is max. stable.
So I can finally recommend this tablet, it's great ☺
Now it would be great to figure out how to enable CWM...

Great! thanks for the info!
I was able to upgrade and root the P78HD on hand but some of the apps which I removed, eg. PPTV,baiduIME, etc, get restored back on reboot. any idea why and what is the culprit?

Yes, those application are always re-installed during the boot because they are in special directory "/system/preinstall"
Uninstall them and go to this directory and remove them forever!

Thanks! Yeah, removed!
So far not bad except some intermittent lag and battery drain a bit fast. Have to use for a few more days for sure.

With Nova launcher installed, everything is quite smooth and fast. 13000+ in AntutuX is more than acceptable for that price
And the screen is really great for web browsing!
I am now looking for more optimization through build.prop tuning.

I have tried enable ART but it's not working, It hang during the boot.

If I remember right, when you uninstall pre-installed apps like PPTV by using Link2SD, they are permanently removed.
BTW, I recently rooted my Motorola Moto E (Kingo Root did NOT work for this device). Based on my experience with the Moto E, I changed my mind about which method (1) Move2SD or (2) Linking to use with Link2SD. I find that I now prefer the "link" method and it seems to work without problem, perhaps because links are made on an EXT4 partition.

Some applications are missing in google play store for me, like google+
Do you have same experience?

Yup, the same, I do not see Google+ in my play store

[Guide] Bypassing FRP Protection from Samsung Galaxy Core

I found a way to handle this (only have tried this with the Metro PCS version SM-G360T1 but this should work with all versions and hopefully other new samsung phones with out direct OTG support as well.), it's been used via other Samsung phones but I have yet to find a post yet that speaks about this on the galaxy core prime (or anything other than the bigger phones like galaxy s6 and the like)
What you would need is to install Samsung's SideSync app on your computer (this is assuming you have a PC with windows.)
have a micro usb cable available (as I would expect most to have.)
along with the apk file to get you to the settings via the otg method.
(I can't post the link since i'm a new user which is great just add https:// to the following "mega.nz/#!ixQxUQII!6lMPLUFlMU3NPxq0tOUpvQ_hOokETC9kFLdPAqS0hk8" with no spaces in between. not sure if this is an internal issue but there should not be a space between S and 0.)
1st start up SideSync to make sure its running.
.
when on the screen where it asks for your google account information on your phone (or as soon as you've gotten a data/wifi connection)
plug in your micro usb cable, in a few seconds you should see a "Open With" option appear on your phone with 3 options (Galaxy Apps, Chrome & Browser).
Now at this point you should also have access to the phones storage via your computer, in which at this point I would say to copy the apk file to wherever you feel comfortable.
From this point you can select "Galaxy Apps" which is basically a Samsung alternative to the Play Store.
from here, you can install an app in order to get to the storage files (es file explorer is one i quickly found.)
You will have to have a Samsung user account but you can create one on the spot if needed (will ask you to login or create an account) so as long as you have a working email this will be easy.
once you've logged in you can search and download and open the storage app, go to the area you placed the APK file, load it up, allow unknown sources, install, open to be redirected to Settings, do a factory data reset and BOOM!
you should be golden.
Hopefully this info stops the assholes who figured this out prior from trying to charge folks to do this, I literally just figured this out myself and stopped from losing a bit of money on this phone.

[Guide Ver. 2] Bypassing FRP Protection from Samsung Galaxy Core
Thank You EmperorofShambala! Worked on my Galaxy Core Prime although I took additional detours which others may find helpful as well.
Before this process I was lucky to have had this MetroPCS phone eligible for unlock so I unlocked it thru the Device Unlock App, hard reset it, but then ran into that google verification. I followed EmperorofShambala's directions but ran into a roadblock with SideSync. (I'm on a Mac) When I got to the part where I could download it on the phone, Galaxy Apps said SideSync did not exist in the store.
Here are the steps I followed (in Emperor's fashion but with additions that got it to work for me):
What you would need is to install Samsung's SideSync app on your computer, *also the free version of Airdroid.
have a micro usb cable available (as I would expect most to have.)
along with the apk file to get you to the settings via the otg method.
(I can't post the link since i'm a new user which is great just add https:// to the following "mega.nz/#!ixQxUQII!6lMPLUFlMU3NPxq0tOUpvQ_hOokETC9kFLdPAqS 0hk8" with no spaces in between. not sure if this is an internal issue but there should not be a space between S and 0.)
1st start up SideSync to make sure its running, *also run and register/create account on Airdroid. Go to file transfer section and have the downloaded apk handy wherever on your computer.
when on the screen where it asks for your google account information on your phone (or as soon as you've gotten a data/wifi connection)
plug in your micro usb cable, in a few seconds you should see a "Open With" option appear on your phone with 3 options (Galaxy Apps, Chrome & Browser). (* I used Airdroid for the actual file transfer, but only SideSync was able to bring up the "Open With" option on the phone while it ran on my computer)
From this point you can select "Galaxy Apps" which is basically a Samsung alternative to the Play Store.
from here, you can install an app in order to get to the storage files, *I used Airdroid
You will have to have a Samsung user account but you can create one on the spot if needed (will ask you to login or create an account) so as long as you have a working email this will be easy.
*Once you have Airdroid installed on the phone, from Galaxy Apps you can open it. Login with Airdroid account, go to file transfer. On your computer, drag and drop the apk into the file transfer and it should appear on your phone. Tap it, then it goes into install...
... allow unknown sources, install, open to be redirected to Settings, do a factory data reset and BOOM!
you should be golden.
Now I'm using my T-Mobile service on it, although some MetroPCS apps and stuff are left over.

Works superb. awesome

It worked!!
Thank you for this tutorial! My girl got the FRP Lock when attempting to root her sm-g360t1 and now it's fully functional again. Excellent work!

Dude omg! Your so awesome for creating this!
YOU SHOULD MAKE video for noobs like me! Haha
Btw: Do we really have to use the explore instead of the web and use "rootjunky" website to download the apk and install it, dont you think this would be better and faster result?

Hello I tried to download this to unlock my phone but it keeps asking for a decription key. I don't know the key, can u please tell me it so I can download it? Thanks please get back to me asap

Can you post a screen shot and mention exactly what you did? I'm not sure i know what you mean.

Nice Job.
Thank Samsung and Google for teaming up to make an inconvience like this. Have to take the Sandisk OTG back, but was gonna anyway since they will no longer support encryption.

Samsung is fine. All you have to do is go to the "sammobile" website, download the firmware for your device and flash it in the "AP" slot in Odin. This does a true factory reset on the device and resets the FRP. I've helped many people overcome this problem this way and not only is it the easiest method, but, in my opinion, it's the only real way to do it. If sammobile doesn't have your firmware for some reason though then I would try this or whatever you can find that works.

I've always been kinda lost with this. So do I download a firmware that has otg support? Is there a certain name I should be looking for?

You don't need OTG. You're just connecting your phone to your computer in "Download Mode". You just search your model number in the firmware section and you'll find the rest of the instructions(as well as the link to download Odin) at the bottom of the download page for your firmware.

I found a way to handle this (only have tried this with the Metro PCS version SM-G360T1 but this should work with all versions and hopefully other new samsung phones with out direct OTG support as well.), it's been used via other Samsung phones but I have yet to find a post yet that speaks about this on the galaxy core prime (or anything other than the bigger phones like galaxy s6 and the like)
What you would need is to install Samsung's SideSync app on your computer (this is assuming you have a PC with windows.)
have a micro usb cable available (as I would expect most to have.)
along with the apk file to get you to the settings via the otg method.
(I can't post the link since i'm a new user which is great just add https:// to the following "mega.nz/#!ixQxUQII!6lMPLUFlMU3NPxq0tOUpvQ_hOokETC9kFLdPAqS0hk8" with no spaces in between. not sure if this is an internal issue but there should not be a space between S and 0.)
1st start up SideSync to make sure its running.
.
when on the screen where it asks for your google account information on your phone (or as soon as you've gotten a data/wifi connection)
plug in your micro usb cable, in a few seconds you should see a "Open With" option appear on your phone with 3 options (Galaxy Apps, Chrome & Browser).
Now at this point you should also have access to the phones storage via your computer, in which at this point I would say to copy the apk file to wherever you feel comfortable.
From this point you can select "Galaxy Apps" which is basically a Samsung alternative to the Play Store.
from here, you can install an app in order to get to the storage files (es file explorer is one i quickly found.)
You will have to have a Samsung user account but you can create one on the spot if needed (will ask you to login or create an account) so as long as you have a working email this will be easy.
once you've logged in you can search and download and open the storage app, go to the area you placed the APK file, load it up, allow unknown sources, install, open to be redirected to Settings, do a factory data reset and BOOM!
you should be golden.
Hopefully this info stops the assholes who figured this out prior from trying to charge folks to do this, I literally just figured this out myself and stopped from losing a bit of money on this phone.
