Hi, I have installed Swype with a signed apk, I think.
Now it won't uninstall in any way, even if I try with adb uninstall /system/app/swype.apk (it says "Failure" )
The phone is detecting it as a system app.. how to solve this?
ps. I got the phone rooted with the one click root apk.

Try Titanium Backup.

Already tried. It says it can't find the apk file
Is it just showing in the app drawer, if so try rebooting.
No it isn't shown in the application drawer. What does this mean?

What traces are there of it and where do you see them?
It's just in the language and international tab of the settings menu, and I can select it as an input method.
It's just installed and working but I need to remove it!

Try removing it again with adb but this time from data/app.
Failure again. It's haunting me

God knows then, I'm out of ideas other than a reflash.
Oh damn somebody is gotta be kidding me as it just correctly uninstalled the package but swype is still there, up and running even after a reboot! Help me I'm not really understanding anything

The only other thing I can think of is just to browse system folders for any trace and delete it.
is yours the official one? have you tried uninstalling the installer as well?
As I already told, it's a signed apk, i bet it's been customized. Which installer are you talking about?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yeah, so by signed, do you mean by the swype developers themselves? or you downloaded a cracked version off some other hole in the internet?
if you got it from the swype developers officially, you would have installed an installer, which will download the swype.apk, and then install it. so you would have swype installer (this is the installer i'm talking about), and swype.
Search for swype with root explorer and delete all traces...
bang delete...
gone...

Have you tried just clicking the apk again (as though you were trying to install it) and then just uninstall ?
Try shutting down the phone and remove the sd card.
Then start up the phone without the sd card, is it still showing?
I'm having the same problem. Have you got it figured out?
The SD card trick won't work. I searched for anything concerning swype with root explorer and deleted every trace of it but it's still showing up in language settings.
If I try to install a non-signed version, the installation procedure fails...
Well who cares anyway.. I'll be wiping all the phone content when 2.1 comes out

Hey guys. I know that there is an available atrix update, but I don't want to update. Att keeps sending me annoying messages to update. How do I get this to stop?

It's easy to block the update if you don't want to lose root and also want to get rid of the annoying messages.
Just rename the otacerts.zip and cacerts.bks certs in system/etc/security.
The update will download (you must let it download), but fail the auth check and not install.
This also turns off the reminder notifications.
Easily reversible if you want to get updates later.

I have the same problem. It tells me I don't have permission to rename the files when I try. And I can't find them using my PC.

NVM. AS I POST THIS, Root explorer has decided to kick ass and rename it when I click the "Mount R/w" button at the top.
glad i saw this, i was going to ask the same question. thanks
Thank you for the tip. It works.
Another way of doing it is to freze updater 2.2.1 and upgrade app 2.2.1 with tit backup. Or so i've read
I tried that my self and it seems to work. I aint sure if the freze stick or not if booting though...
weird, i downloaded it but never installed it. i changed those two files posted above and it still just gave me the install screen of if i want to install now or later

Try my method if you're rooted. Works! I haven't got any prompts about doing anything after freezing the apps.

Download antek app manager its free. Then freeze com.Motorola. blur.updater. or look for updater and freeze that.

Hey guys, I have a problem when installing new apps or doing updates.
When I try to install new apps (angry birds Rio) it will download but not install, it has done this on other apps too. I have deleted apps to make room and done a factory reset and its still not working.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried to wipe the marked data from application settings? Don't know if it's going to help, but it's no harm in trying
Does it give you an error message when it gets to the install process? You could try unmounting the SD card temporarily before you try installing apps, this solved the only problem I've had installing apps from the Market.

Settings - applications - all aplications, locate marked and wipe all the data. Next time you start marked you should have to agree with terms as you did the first time.

I've had this happen in the past and the only way I could get around this issue was to delete the file 'Smdl2tmp1.asec'
To do this, connect your phone to a PC and use Windows Explorer to search for the file. You will need to set Windows Explorer to read hidden files for it to find this file.
Hope this works for you too.

If the apps download but don't install you can install them manually. Using any file manager head to /cache/download , here you will see all the apps you tried installing recently. They don't have useful names but the icons should help you remember what they are.
Find the package and install it manually.

Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11
Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

DL'd and installed earlier. I had been having problems with the speed of other 3.x market apps, this fixes those all, even on 3g. However, some of my installed apps aren't showing up (like Google Maps, of all things). I'm sure there's a simple solution to that, though.

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...
from the "CRACKED" speedy EVO engine... Via Tapatalk.
It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?
I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.

I used your second instructions to install it but I didn't rename it and it installed fine. I didn't need to change permissions or reboot, just touched the Market-3.3.11.apk after I downloaded it and it installed. Thanks.

I did this the first time i downloaded the .apk and it didn't work for me. That's why I had to do it the long way...
Are you on a Sense ROM?
Good to know that it installed fine for you.
Or do I need to download and re-install it(I had it on my rooted stock firmware)? Forgive me if I come across as stupid.
You need to download gapps.

I've already downloaded and installed them via TWRP, but I dont see the market listed in my apps. Is it just built into the CM7 system now? because when I press the searchbar I have the option to search the market. I'm not connected to wifi at my house so i can't tell otherwise.
If it doesn't show in your app drawer, then use root explorer to install it. I had to install it manually after installing gapps. It was located @ /system/app/vending.apk - I just clicked it and installed it. After that, a quick reboot and I was good.
Hi all,
I have been looking everywhere for a solution but have found none that solved my issue.
I had xposed framework installed and working fine on my S4 i9505 with 4.3 and just after I updated to 4.4 I just can't install it (new install) nor re-install it with Titanium Backup.
I have the latest version, and it tries to install but finishes installation saying "application not installed" and that's all.
Can anyone give me a hand?
I have stock ROM, rooted with supersu, CWM.
thanks!
You dont need use Titanium Backup for that:
1. Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it normally like an app
2. Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update"
3. Reboot
4. Done!
It seems I'm not explaining myself correctly...
I know how to install Xposed.
I have had it ever since I got the phone 8 months ago. I have changed roms frequently and never had any trouble installing it again.
But since I updated to kitkat 4.4.2 there is no way I can install it again from fresh. That's when I tried with Titanium just in case it worked, but it didn't.
So there must be something wrong with my cel after the update to kitkat 4.4.2.
does anyone know what could be the matter and how to solve it (apart from obviously flashing another ROM)?
thank you
You haven't changed the runtime to ART have you before you tried installing xsposed?

Im not sure if this will work Check your Internal sd card if you have Xposed-Disabler-recovery-.zip and flash it via custom Recovery mate, then intall xposed once again and Supersu should ask for permission ..
Try flashing xposed Disabler recovery in recovery then try installing it again
