[Q] Why does it take life-long time to uninstall app?

Hi, Guys,
I'm using P5110, with CM 9.
Everything was fine at the beginning, but din't know since when, it takes forever to uninstall any app, taking more than 10 minutes in many cases.
Sometimes, rebooting the tab would help to get the app uninstalled, but it is ridiculous to do so every time before uninstalling apps.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!

Hi, Jxt,
Thanks for your attention.
The rom I am on is: [4.0.4] CyanogenMod 9, downloaded from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722099
Yes, my tab is rooted.
Hope it won't require complete system re-flashing rom, 'cause when thinking of flashing rom and installing, setting all the apps, it drives me mad.

Hello, your welcome i was just wonder, did you restore apps with titanium backups?
Are you running out of space?
Try going into recovery and wiping cache? NOT Factory !!

I've just wiped cache, but sorry it doesn't work, problem remains.
Anything else to try?
P.S.
I've installed FREE MY APPS before, and therefore, have install/uninstall many apps on this tab, but months ago, I've stopping doing this and removed all the staff, including FREE MY APPS.
Maybe during that period, some mess was done to the system?

Jxt. said:
The only thing i would say to try now is flashing a different rom, i recommend Pacman roms.

I assume you are trying to uninstall from your Setting/Apps.
What happens if you log into the Playstore App and try to uninstall apps from there?

Both the same.

Have you tried to go into recovery and clear cache?

Problem finaly solved wihout having to reflash rom, or even switch rom!
All credit goes to a miracle app: SDmaid !
After trying wiping cache, and using several apps to clean the trash files (some tools did clean hundred MB of trash files) without any help, I tried SDmaid.
It further cleaned out tons of trash files, and right after that, it takes only few seconds to uninstall apps, work like charm!

No Phone App?

I just recently flashed 4.4 custom CM 11 ROM with a clean install, followed the instructions by updating the firmware, then flashing the ROM and GAPPS, then setting up the phone, then returning to recovery to flash the Kanged apps. There is no Phone app, though when I say "Ok, Google" and tell it to call a contact, it works, and asks what app to use by default (Phone, Skype). When the call began, no app opened, it was my home screen, though the call went through.
Is this a problem with the Kanged apps or what's up?
Edit: I just wiped cache and dalvik cache, re-flashed the PA Gapps [not the Kanged] and still no phone app. Can someone link me to the GApps they used that worked well? Maybe its just a faulty DL.

Give me the link where you download the cm11, I will take a look.
Also go into /systen/app and check to see if you have the phone app.

Click ROM Downloads, Using the 12/25/2013 (uploaded the 26th) one, as it was said to be the most stable. If you know of a more stable release (I'm looking for working bluetooth and gps, messages and phone) let me know. I'll edit this after checking the system folder.
Edit: Under system/app/ there is a "TelephonyProvider.apk" that has the same picture the Phone App would have. Trying to open it prompts me with installing an update, titled "Phone/Messaging Storage". Attempting to install it gives no results, and just says it wasn't installed.

Ok, downloading the stuff now. While it downloads, where is the option to wipe system in CWM Touch? Its probably in a pretty obvious place and I just overlooked it, I haven't clean flashed a rom since my second one, the rest were just updates to CM. I'll post back when the process is done. Thanks for all the help so far!

Yeah, it had been stuck and I actually failed to wipe system the first time. Did it this time around, and its booted up, with a phone app! The question I have for you now: Is flashing the "Kanged" apps worth it? What does it add? What does it break? I've seen some posts claiming it breaks things, I've seen others saying it works fine. What's your experience with it? Other than that, thanks a ton! Can't wait to get this buddy settled in!

The Kanged gapp is fine, but the newer version, for some reasons it's not working well with some of the app. The one I gave you is pretty much ok with most of the rom. At the end they should be all the same function and the question is which one will work with most of the rom. There is no advantage from one to the others.

Yeah haha, that tends to be how CM is. Its been like that since my OG Droid days haha.
Quick question; do you know how to change what the icons on the lock screen redirect too? For example, making the music icon open Google Play Music, not Apollo, or the messages icon opening Hangouts, not Messages.

OK, I'm not on the rom that you're using, but if I remember correctly, it should be in settings->security-> slider targets and shortcuts -> enable the Eight slider targets then tab on slider targets, you will see the lock on your screen, hold down on the lock and slide to any position on the circle, an app menu should popup, here you can select what app you want to launch for the position. Repeat the same for other positions. You have up to 7 apps to launch from the lock screen, the last one is to unlock.

Ah, I see. Sadly, there is no "slider targets and shortcuts" under security, but I'll keep looking myself haha. Thanks for all the help mate, appreciate it!
Edit: They put a seperate "lock screen" section hidden under interface. Nonetheless, it has been found! Thanks for the help!

Sorry I meant app...
If any case..
1. There's a problem with the app
2. You should wipe dalvik and cache if possible.
3. If options 1 and 2 aren't viable try clearing data and cache of all applications and that should do it.

Google services are going crazy

I am using sultans 6.0 ROM first all things go well and I have been using it for many weeks but today play services are stopping again and again impossible to use my phone also tried by clearing cache from TWRP but not helped

Reflash the recommended GApps from sultanxda thread.
I guess it's open gapps.
If above doesn't work for you then
Dirty flash your ROM and flash GApps.

Check your app ops permissions for Google Play Services... you must enable wake up permission, otherwise it will FC every 3-5 seconds... this is valid if you're on 8.3.xxx version. Previous 8.1.15.xxx verions does not have this "issue".

Insufficient storage error when installing certain apps

I followed the instructions given to me in my "new here" thread and was able to wipe my OS and install resurrection remix 7.1.2 last night. However, I was only able to install gapps mini and now I can't take a screenshot or install other items like google chrome or facebook. However, I was able to install other apps like firefox. I've tried a factory reset, removing my google account from the play store and re-adding it. It should definitely not be a cache problem as the install is brand new. I even used twrp wipe on all folders and reinstalled RR and still no change. Do I need to repartition or just try another mod?
*edit*
I found another thread here through a search that had a very similar issue to mine, but it looks like they were able to resolve theirs by uninstalling some app (they didn't say what). I'm having this with a fresh install, every time. So that fix didn't work for me, and I couldn't find anything else.

As an update to this issue, I have been able to install OkCupid (I'm a single girl, what can I say?) and the Android WebService that it required to function. Still have original issue though.

It ain't no mod.I'm taking about using open gapps instead of whatever gapps you were using before.

The mod I'm referring to is the resurrection remix which is the OS mod. I used the open gapps mini with that OS, so I've tried that.

It just says downloading and never changes. I also don't get the notification in the status area indicating it's downloading. It doesn't ask for permissions either, I don't know is that's normal for a rooted phone or not

Well, here's why I don't think that's it. After flashing the OS, I tried to flash the super version of the open gapps. That was a huge file, almost a gig I think, so when that errored out I wasn't surprised. So when I tried the stock at 700 mb, and that failed, I tried the mini. That was 200 mb, and when that flashed successfully, I got suspicious. So I do think it's an issue with the system partition. I know the resurrection remix was a few GB in size, so perhaps it was too big. I haven't tried downloading CM13 or any others yet, so I don't know if there's a huge size difference or not. But I think that may be what it was. Just too big for our phones.

System partition has a size,just like internal storage has.Though,in the former case,you can increase it,but there's no point in increasing it,as you can just flash mini/nano/pico gapps and install all the other G-Apps you need after that.Infact,stock/heavy gapps is nothing but bloatware.
Anyway,what I meant was, flash other gapps except opengapps:

I think I just figured it out. I went outside on break and went to take a selfie to test the camera for this OS, and voila, it told me to enter an SD card. So it looks like it may be some sort of permissions issue. I'll just re-flash it with a different OS later. I'm not really attached to this one anyway. Brand new phone, nothing to back up.
