What did you install? Ask in the thread, and you might get some help. If you uninstalling something, make sure that program is not running in the background, then uninstall. If not, Hard Reset is the other option.
i installed the theme. and when i go to uninstall it wont go away lol
I had the same problem with one of the pro themes of his. After I tried to uninstall it and it didn't completely finish, I went into the today settings and selected windows default and made sure touchflo was unselected.
From there I went and installed from the theme's .cab again. It said the previous version had to be uninstalled first. Click OK, and after some time it says the previous version could not be installed and asked if I wanted to continue with the installation. I again clicked OK.
After some time it finally finishes and says that your phone must be restarted. When it restarts, you amazingly should be back to stock.

Yes, that process seems to work in a number of cases where cab-based apps/themes won't uninstall properly....just try "reinstalling" the cab, and the process will happen just like amnigo described, and just might be back to normal after the "install" forces a reset.
If you installed my theme and then any other mod on top like a clock or any other set of icons that will happen.
Cause windows will only back up the tiles once. So wen you try too uninstall it there is no backup of the original ones and thats the reason why you get that message. Check post 1 of my thread to see instructions.
Hi Guys
Just joined the forums yesterday. I was enjoying tinkering with my S4, I rooted it and had some fun with it, installing cool apps and such like.
I downloaded titanium back up, and proceeded to remove (what I thought was) bloatware..... (yes...schoolboy error, I know) I didn't remove any crucial system files though, I aint that gung-ho. But what I did do, was remove Flip-Fonts (I didn't know that the little "f-f logo in the circle" was flipfonts.
Anyway, this was still ok. I downloaded a font app from the play store, and installed a new font. I deliberately chose a font that was annoying to look at, and barely legible, simply so I could instantly see that the install had worked. So I rebooted my S4, and when it booted up, I noticed immediately that it had worked. Thus I knew the install proocess was working, and then I chose the font I wanted to install. BRILLIANT!!!
Then I noticed the issue. My system fonts were ok, however, when I was surfing the web, it was still using the annoying, barley legible font I initially installed as a tester. Gmail was using it, yahoo, chrome. I tried to uninstall and change the font. I could change it, but again, the fonts in gmsail etc were the annoying one that I didn't want. I could see no way to change this. So I did a factory restore this morning, through the normal channels (setting/accounts/back-up and reset) thinking this would reset.
When I booted the phone back up, when I was guided through the initial phone set up tutorial (time, accounts, device name etc ect) I noticed that the system font was set as the annoying one I don't want. So I downloaded iFont, and changed it. Again, it changed the font to the one I wanted, but again, when I went online it was still that (by this time) INCREDIBLY ANNOYING FONT!!!
So I went in to SuperSU and chose to unroot the device. I then went through the root process I initially used I re-rooted using this method. Again, when I booted up, the initial set-up wizard that guides you through had that IRRITATING, PESKY, SUICIDAL FONT!!!
So my good android friends, I require your assistance. How do I get round this pesky issue? I was thinking I would have to roll back to the factory ROM? Or is there some simple setting I am missing This is really really getting to me now. I have been tikering with the fone, not too in depth may I add, just installnig root apps and such. I was willing to venture in to the custom ROM's avenue sometime soon.....although after this little episode, I may think twice.
I do not have a nandroid back up. I have been advised on another forum to reinstall the factory ROM. However, I know there are different methods for different versions. So below is the info from my device. Whats the best plan of action for me. I still want to root my phone again, I just want shot of this annoying font.
In About Device:
Model Number: GT I9505
Android Version: 4.2.2
Baseband Version: I9505XXUDMH8
kernel Version: 3.4.0-1220396 Then below it says se.infra @0210-03 1
(or something like that. I can hardly read it because of that annoying font)

Have you tried looking for your firmware here and restoring via odin?

As the other guy suggested, but instead of using that link, try http://www.samfirmware.com type in GT-I9505 into the device search bar and find United Kingdom (o2).
Flash it using Odin and you should be all good! I'd also recommend you take care when messing about with your phone, especially with system files. I would also recommend you flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and make backups of your device. It's saved me a load of times already!
Just wipe, flash new rom (stock rom or any rom you want). As long as you don't do anything crazy you can always use download mode to flash roms.
So i got my OnePlus 2, rooted it, flashed xposed framework, installed it, and then got xposed gels from playstore. Activated the module and then rebooted. Launched XGELS and i get a massage saying:
"Lucky Patcher is installed on your device. This will break the Google InApp-Billing service and therefore your purchase can NOT be verified nor can you purchase XGELS Premium. Please disable 'Billing emulation' and uninstall Lucky Patcher. If the issue persists flash your ROM and GAPPS again."
But the thing is, I never installed Lucky Patcher. I didn't even know about it until this error came up. It's a new phone that i haven't even used yet. Now XGELS is not working. All I can do is remove the google search bar from homepage, that's it. I can't even resize icons or change the grid. Nothing's working.
Please help?
It happends to me too and, as I read, to many more people.
Seems to be a OxygenOS thing.
Same issue on Hydrogen OS as well.
I have a SM-G550FY, at least that is what my phone says. Now when I got the phone it was a metropcs phone and I tired rooting it which worked. Then I tried to flash the Reborn ON5 rom and then I had no sound. After this I tried flashing a stock rom but I believe it was for the T-Mobile variant. NOW it wont open ANYTHING. It boots and the initial android setup shows up but after I cant even open the settings in my phone. I used recovery to reinstall the reborn rom since no sound is better then no apps. I believe I flashed imgs for different model number but now I am not sure what to do. I just want to go back to the stock rom so I can have my sound back. Any help would be appreciated.
To fix the no apps/black screen what I did was pull down the notification menu from the top of the screen, then by long pressing the buttons I was eventually able to get into a settings menu where I could get to the play store. I started by downloading a bunch of the basic apps that were missing...contacts, messages, etc. then I installed "Google Now Launcher" and that fixed all the things. The bad metro wallpaper showed up and there were the apps that I thought were missing. I hope this helps...or at least gives you some hope that everything isnt lost.
Edit...if you can get to the play store...try the google now launcher first. Honestly any launcher might work.
I removed some stock apps using adb, and something broke my second screen. Everything seemed benign, but I jacked up something. Now my phone keeps displaying "Unfortunately, second screen has stopped." Thanks!
Do you have a Nandroid of your install or backups of any of your apps through TiBackup?
Non rooted with no backup
No.
What model do you have?
Just use one of the unbricking methods here on xda to reflash stock rom and you should be fine. Use LG UP to flash the latest kdz.

In had this happen many times tweaking things through adb. Never did figure out what I did to disable the screen. I found a simple factory reset fixed it. Assuming your are not rooted and just forced an uninstall of apps via Adb.
I had this happen (on VS995 i.e. Verizon non-rooted on Oreo) after I used adb to uninstall the 3 weather packages (com.lge.sizechangable.weather, platform & theme.optimus) since I don't use the weather widget. Reinstalling from the original apk files fixed the problem; they were listed as Weather, Weather Service (this one fixed it) and Weather Theme. So my guess is one of the packages you uninstalled. I tried disabling them first but couldn't, thus the uninstall. Couldn't reinstall through adb but just running the apk install once I found where they were hiding in the file system fixed me up. Argh!
