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!

Removing Bloat

I posted something similar in the GPS thread for the Galaxy S 4G. I used the One Click Root method and Root Explorer to go in and delete a bunch of bloat from my /system/app and /data/app folders. I pulled out Telenav.apk, DoubleTwist.apk, Layar.apk, VisualVoicemail.apk (replaced with the older, mostly black version that isn't hideous), and Slacker.apk as well as the various .odex files where appropriate.
However, since then I've seen two problems: News and Weather doesn't want to find my location via GPS anymore, and I have to be on Wifi for it to find me. A small annoyance and makes me wonder if the new ROM references Telenav for some location data (which is a good theory following problem two).
The second, more concerning problem, is I'm seeing what I can only call "phantom force closes". It happens after rebooting, randomly when enabling Bluetooth or wifi, and in the stock browser on random websites, the phone vibrates several times indicating errors, will crash out the application (and one time the phone itself), but does not give me the force close error message telling me what app or why. It's definitely looking for either doubletwist or telenav but I can't figure out why it would need to do that as they are 3rd party apps. I've removed these apps before on the Vibrant 2.1 and 2.2 roms without any real problems.
If anyone can provide some helpful information it would be much appreciated. The phone has been more stable the last few hours since several reboots but will likely start acting up again later.
Any thoughts?

I removed all those apps and more without getting a problem on my phone. But I left telenav cause its free and its not beta. I also used terminal emulater and systemapp remover to remove them. Then I used root explorer to delete the odex files of the apps I removed. Maybe the way your removed them was bad.

How do you remove the odex files? Where are they located?

Remove Stock Files / Apps
Here is a quick way to remove the apps that come preinstalled on the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G. (you could also follow this for the ones that have .odex files as well. See ls command at the end).
I pieced this together from several forums. Hopefully it will save someone the trouble of doing this themselves (or serve as a refresher like it did for me).
Sorry I couldn't post formal links to the source files (forumn rules), apparently I don't contribute enough . Just put the server names in internet explorer and it should get you there.
1.) Download the Samsung Galaxy S 4G Root app. from mediafire.com/?096oxx07q6d88b3
2.) Download the Samsung USB Device Drivers from here:
-Windows 32 Bit drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
-Windows 64 Bit drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
3.) Install the drivers.
4.) Extract (unzip) the root app to a familiar folder.
5.) Enable USB debugging on your phone: Settings -> Development -> USB Debugging
6.) Plug your phone into your computer (wait till the drivers install)
7.) Open the Root app and click Shell Root
8.) Open a command shell (Start -> Run -> cmd)
9.) Type each line, pressing enter after each line:
cd <replace this text and these brackets with the folder location of the root app>
adb shell
cd /system/app
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
10.) Next type the following two commands (replace the <...> with your app name, press enter after each line) for each app you wish to remove
chmod 777 <insert your ap name here.apk>
rm <insert your ap name here.apk>
Here is a list of the one's I removed. You can get a list of others by typing the two letters "ls" without quotes into the shell and press enter:
Note: Do not type in the app names in front of the file names, they are just there to let you know what you are deleting.

Gogo Link (It's expired anyway) - GoGo.apk
Media Hub - MediaHub.apk
Telenav - TN6.2-6201036.apk
Inception Link - MovieShortcut.apk
11.) Restart your phone.

I don't recommend uninstalling bloat via root explorer. The safest way to remove the bloatware is to uninstall it via Titanium backup. Otherwise you might delete a bunch of stuff you really didn't mean to.

Yeah I used TB to remove the stuff.
EDIT: I just did a "Clean up the Dalvik cache" on TB and it removed 26MB of unwanted stuff! Total free 166MB.

So you don't report any weirdness or phantom force closes? The last few days since I made the post the phone has been almost entirely stable. GPS is still a little touchy but no more errors or lock-ups.
Also, on a side- note: am I the only person on XDA that doesn't remove Amazon MP3? I actually use it pretty frequently. That is, until I see how good Google Music is going to be (if it's actually a music purchasing service).

removing touchwiz
has anyone tried removing TouchWiz?

I removed touchwiz and use the gingerbread launcher. No problems

I recently found myself having those problems too. I assumed it was because of setcpu. I delete my appz with uninstaller for root....I don't know if that was any good. However, I was hoping that I would be able to start from scratch with everything but I don't know how I can start from scratch. I am completely new to this, so alot of the terminology and thing of that nature are Vulcan to me. So if someone can help me, that, finally, would be great.

Feel Your Pain, Deleted "My Account 1.0" and now hurting
I was trying to get rid of "My Account", AKA T-Mobile My Acount, to keep it from constantantly running in the background, but actually deleted "My Account 1.0" with Titanium Pro... I tried to freeze it but it kept appearing in my task list, so I deleted it.
Soon as I did, I got a buzz... buzz buzz buzz... the buzzes of death... I now get force closes when ending a phone call, when trying to read SMS, and when trying to view my call log.
This is killing me, and I have no idea how to fix it...
Any experts out there, please help!

I rooted my Samsung Vibrant 4G and used Titanium Backup to delete allot of the same T-Mobile BS bloatware that you did. Had that same "phantom force closes" that you described. Mid phone call today the phone vibrated a few times and force close phone application and hung up on my call. Has this problem remained stabilized for you?

How do I uninstall the software using Titanium? I tried following the instructions via another thread but I only got so far. I was told to click Problems - get busybox - and then long press the apps I want to remove and force delete. However, I am able to get as far as downloading busybox. After that, are my apps supposed to show within the program Titanium or am I supposed to go to the applications itself or what? Im stuck from there....can you help????

[Q] Fixing a broken system App that crashes when there IS internet access

Hi guys.
I need some help or instructions.
I have in my Asus an app that is good, but always crashes. This is a system app called Asus MyLibrary, or Asus Reader.
This doesn't happen only to me, but its known to always crash for everybody
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...ashes-every-time-i-try-start-asus-reader.html
http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/applications/26417-my-library-replacement.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155510
The fix to the problem is turn wifi and data off (or turn on Airplane mode), then it will work fine.
Many people think it is because the app tries to connect to Asus servers (which are down) and this crashes the app.
I would like some help on how to disable this seeking of an internet connection within the app, then recompile it, sign it.
But then it is a system app. Can it be installed as a normal app? (My device is not rooted).
I have tried another app that reads the apk, removes permission to access the net, and packages it into a new apk. This apk wouldn't install in my device. Perhaps because the package name is the same still. I tried modifying the package name (com.asus.reader) to something else (I called it MyReader, com.android.myreader), recompiled, signed, zip aligned, and it still won't install. (App not installed). Perhaps it is conflicting with the original system app still in the phone?
I have two attachments, one is the original apk from the system folder, and reader-sz.apk is the one i've tried to modify the name and package, then signed, and zipaligned. Did I do something wrong that it won't install in the device?
In summary, there are two questions really.
1) Why doesn't reader-sz.apk install in my device? I've changed the app name and package name in the manifest.xml
2) How do I remove (or disable, or nullify) the app from accessing the internet, from within the app itself? (I think simply removing permissions will still crash it, may need to go into the functions itself, is that even possible?)
Please if anyone can guide me, I think you may help many-many users.

[BATCH FILE] Lollipop Bloatware Removal!

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, and I felt like this would be a useful thing for everyone in this community.
I have created a batch file that removes bloatware from the Rooted OC4 Update provided to us by muniz_ri.
To create the batch file I used the lists of programs removed by this batch file by xboxexpert and The PURGE v1 by elliwigy.
I created this batch file because the Lollipop update changed the file structure and the above files no longer work at all. Once again, the ONLY thing I did here was restructure their files to work with Lollipop. However, I would appreciate any suggestions of applications to add to the file so that we can get OC4 as debloated as possible!
Below are the applications that my batch file removes.

muniz_ri for [How-To] Update to G900V_OC4 - 5.0 and KeepRoot (3/30/2015)

Thank you for this! I'm fairly familiar with batch scripts and adb executions, but can you provide some basic instructions to properly run this against the phone, and how to edit/remove apps from the removal list that we'd like to keep?
Cheers and thanks again,
|nsom

So to properly run this type of batch file on your phone, enable USB debugging on your phone, plug it in to your computer. and then follow these steps:
1. Open a command prompt in the debloat folder. (On Windows, shift right click in any blank space in the folder you extracted my files to, press open command prompt here)
2. Type "adb devices" without quotes, this will bring up the prompt on your phone to allow the computer debugging access to your phone.
3. Type "adb shell" and then type "su" without quotes, and this will bring up a SuperSU prompt for the ADB shell.
4. Ctrl-C out of the command prompt.
Then, after you've done that, all you have to do is double click debloat.bat
If you wanted to customize the batch file to keep programs that you want, you just simply open the debloat.bat file in your favorite text editor, then find the application you want to keep in the file, and just delete the line that contains your application. Do keep in mind that some applications may have dependencies that are also removed by this file, so in some cases, you might not simply be able to remove just that one line.

So... shall I be the huckleberry?
I never 'shift-right clicked' before and that was pretty cool, I saw the option to "open command prompt". Holy smokes. I quit there, and thought I'd ask, has anyone tried this yet?
You do realize I'm reluctant of the hassle to fire up Odin and flash the NCG kernel and all that in and out and to and fro stuff again. My phone is just fine, but SafeStrap disappeared on boot after flashing the 5.0 OptimusROM, and I read where it said you have to start from scratch darn near. I'm liking root, but I miss that "ThePURGE" I flashed into the 4.4.4.
Seriously, when I saw the instructions I just right mouse clicked, didn't see that option until I held down shift on the keyboard. I was like 'whoa! I'm in over my head!'
I looked up ADB and it's Android Debugging Bridge. I sense a new frontier, but you know how blind you are going in on something you've never tried before, right?
So has anyone tried this debloat? Shall I be the huckleberry?

i was just about to run it, but then I checked out the bat file with notepad, and there was a lot of apps I wanted to keep, which made me questioned the other 60 unknown things. I'm not doing it. I'll look for a more advised list.

I gave it a go and it all worked fine for me.. I did however edit the bat file to keep the apps I wanted to keep.

Jd254, I did not make up this list of apps to be deleted. Every app in this script has been included in two of the most known and recommended debloat scripts for the Galaxy S5, all I did was simply edit the scripts so that they would work on Lollipop, as the file structure changed and the old scripts will not work properly on Lollipop.

These instructions may not even be necessary to be honest. As long as you have USB Debugging enabled on the device, the prompts *should* come up when you first launch the script. Also, in regards to trying it, I am currently running my phone just fine with it, although I have redownloaded some apps I wish to keep such as YouTube. The nice thing though, is that if you remove the apps with this script and then redownload them from the play store, you will actually be able to uninstall them at a later time, unlike when they are preinstalled and all you can do is "disable" them.

I gave it a whirl. I never did android debugging bridge before, can't say that now! It went off without any problems, except for getting started. I switched the USB options on the S5. After I put the check into the Camera (PTP) instead of Media Device (MTP) the computer installed drivers. I also had my data turned off, and I turned that back on the S5. I switched it back to MTP and ran the command prompt. Then I got a SU prompt and granted it on the S5. So it ran the batch file thing and the S5 rebooted all by itself.
First thing I noticed is YouTube was still there. Then I went through it and wow there was a lot of crap gone, yay! Remembering what you said, you could uninstall YT later, so I tried that, and no more YouTube! Cool. I'll probably reinstall it, but it's great to see your debloat thing work. I was going to fire up Titanium Backup to freeze it all out of there, but this is much better.
Good job. Fine work.

UPDATE
I did a full wipe except SD card and a fresh install of OptimusRom 5.0 After it fired up I just clicked next skip continue until the S5 was all the way booted up, without setting anything up. Then I fired up ADB and side loaded your debloat zip. That made a big difference. Great job of getting rid of a bunch of crap!
Thanks again.
Now I can install YouTube if I 'want to'.

THANK YOU
Awesome thank you very much for this gives you a clean slate. fresh start only the apps you want, good in my folder of go to scripts apps and firmware!

Can this be run on stock OC4, unrooted phone??

How do I know when it's done doin' it's thing?
Thanks for this by the way!!!
Daang, that free'd up a ton of system/RAM space.... are any of you guys noticing any hiccups or negative repercussions due to removing all this stuff?

Will this work with the latest update OD5?
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app

Is there a batch file for the S4?
Does anyone know if this batch file will work on a S4? If not is there one available for the S4? There is a method on the Verizon S4 forum that uses Titanium Backup to remove bloat but I like this batch file method. Thanks

Yep, I have a rooted deodexed OD5 and this worked great. It only mentioned one app that wasn't found to debloat - wish I took notice - but I figured it was already removed by Verizon as part of OD5.
The only caution I would throw out there is that by uninstalling S-Voice, you get a dead button on your dialer. I'm trying to figure out how to assign Google Voice Search to it in this XDA thread.

Also, my brightness adjustment slider disappeared, and I'd like to get that back since I used to use it quite often. I am considering looking into this method to restore it, however the scenario is the exact opposite. The brightness adjustment slider disappeared on a 4.4.2 Note 4 ROM, but OK on a Lollipop ROM, while it's my OD5 Lollipop ROM that the debloating apparently clipped.
This was not caused by debloating, but rather by accepting Wanam Xposed default tweaks. Per attached, under the Theme settings, the brightness slider can be controlled and customized.

I do have to say that I love the deodexed, debloated OD5 though. I even have Xposed running smoothly on it, and the phone is super fast with excellent battery life.

Does anyone know if this batch file will work on a S4? If not is there one available for the S4? There is a method on the Verizon S4 forum that uses Titanium Backup to remove bloat but I like this batch file method. Thanks

I used it on an S4 after removing the MyFiles line item (so I could switch he default storage location to SD card). The script noted that several items did not succeed, I'm assuming because they didn't or were different on the S4, but at the end of the process it was nicely debloated.
I also didn't have success with the S4 Titanium Backup method, which left my phone bricked for some reason, which led me to try this one.

Thank you very much for the reply Ed. Muniz_ri just put a batch file method on the Verizon S4 forum.

Glad to see the original list is still put to work over here!
I never created an updated purge script. The only reason I didnt update it was because i now have an s6e but now i dont need to update it! lol

Has anyone tried running the .zip with FlashFire? Or is ADB the only way to go? Nice job though my friend

Debloating The SM-G360T1, SM-G360T & Others: An Easy Guide

There's not a lot of information out there for the Galaxy Core Prime on how we might debloat and save more space, so I decided to make a short tutorial that might help people with some easy steps in cleaning up their device. This guide is meant to be pretty basic and to just help point people in the right direction so that it speaks to a broader scope of Galaxy Core Prime Models, but is based specifically on the SM-G360T1. The SM-G360T is essentially the exact same phone though, so all of these steps should apply directly to that device too. Other Galaxy Core Prime models will be able to use this as well, but just be sure to read the special "NOTE" part of each step. Also, I'm sure it goes without saying, but inevitably I'll get the question, so obviously, root is required for this!
Anyhow, here we go:
1) Do a full backup in recovery before deleting system stuff. This is always a good idea just in case you delete something you're not supposed to and android stops working, then you can just go into recovery(TWRP, CWM, etc.) and restore your backup and your back to square one. It's good to do a new backup too a few days after when you're sure your deleted apps aren't causing any problems so you can restore to that slimmer version later if need be. Also, you should probably save your backup files to the external sd as you will likely have more free space there.
2) Install a debloated rom in recovery. SlimPickins is a great one for the SM-G360T1. It's basically the stock firmware for the MetroPCS Core Prime, but thanks to @Koognod we can now run Android without all the extra junk using his rom. It comes already debloated, deodexed and deknoxed, so you can just install it and not have to deal with finding all the junk to delete for yourself. It's already gone! It's also great for speeding up your bogged down phone or creating more space for your apps and media. Here is the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-slimpickins-stock-rooted-bloated-t3250883
NOTE: YOU CAN NOT INSTALL THIS ROM IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SM-G360T1. It should work fine on the SM-G360T too, but for anyone else just try googling or searching XDA for your "model #" and "debloat rom".
3) I recommend deleting the "PreloadInstaller" folder from "/system/app/" with a Play Store root browser. You should do this before deleting any system apps in my opinion, as this folder contains an apk that is programmed to put back a lot of the system stuff you delete(either immediately or after reboot). If you don't feel comfortable deleting this folder just yet though, then you can just move it to your external sd card for now with your browser to save space in case you ever want to move it back or just skip this step. Your choice!
NOTE: If you don't have the SM-G360T1 or SM-G360T, then your "PreloadInstaller" folder may be called something slightly different or you may not even have it at all. Just look for something similar in there. Be careful not to delete the package installer though as that's the program that allows you to install apps yourself.
4) You need an app that uninstalls system apps. I use "System App Remover(ROOT)" from the Play Store personally because all your deleted system apps actually go into a recycle bin first where they can be restored later if needed. It also tells you if the app in question is a "Key Module"(ie. proceed with serious caution).
5) Google search the internet for system stuff that's ok to delete for your device. It helps to search your model usually, but I don't think there's much info out there for the Galaxy Core Prime unfortunately, so just searching something like "Debloat Samsung Safe" can be a great resource as many Samsung phones have the same system junk.
6) Delete all the obvious stuff you don't want. This would be things like any of the MetroPCS stuff(or whatever carrier you have) or even the Galaxy app store if you don't want it. A lot of Google apps can be deleted too, though you want to be a little more careful with those as Android is pretty much based on the Google Services Framework and many Google apps are tied into the system. Generally, apps like Chrome, Docs, Drive, Hangouts, Maps(if you prefer another map application like Waze or whatever), etc. are good to go if you want. I wouldn't delete any of the core Google apps though that may handle major processes on your phone, like Calendar, possibly even Gmail or any of the ones that you don't know what they do. Deleting the stock camera, gallery, video or music player may sometimes give you problems down the line too, so I would probably keep those. You can also back all your apps up before deleting with Titanium Backup from the Play Store too in case you delete something that you need to put back later.
*NOTE: Some apps, like the Google ones for instance, may cause popup errors after you delete them. This is normal. Your phone's just looking for all those files that were just secretly running a few moments ago. All you have to do is reboot to get rid of those messages. If they still persist, then just reinstall the app.
7) Download an app to clean up that leftover mess. When you delete an app, especially with system stuff, it often leaves a bunch of folders and junk behind. Go to the Play Store and download an app that allows you to clean all that up. There's lots of good ones. I like to use one called "SD Maid" myself. It's good at cleaning up those leftover files and has a feature called "CorpseFinder" in fact that does just that. It also cleans up a lot of other things on your phone.
Anyhow, if you're a heavy power user like myself or you store a lot of music or other media on your phone in addition to 20 million apps or so and you need more space, then I hope this helps you out. Take care guys. Thanks!

Out of curiosity, how does this affect the "phone unlock" feature? In case I want to change providers?

It won't affect it at all as long as you don't delete the "Device Unlock" app. More info on unlocking your device here:

Also, you can just install SlimPickins if you want an already debloated rom.
