Cannot uninstall swype!

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

Deleting System APP

Hey all
I need to remove FACEBOOK, so that I can use the launcher pro facebook widget, but its saying invalid key file when trying to log into it.
Soooooooooooo , how do I remove the original facebook ?
There only seems a force quit option , and then I cant delete it
Any help welcome
Thanks, as always
Stephen

I think you need to be rooted to do this.
Just go to the /system/app/ folder and you'll find the Facebook.apk. Delete it, and reboot.
--an Explorer is needed--
if you dont have an explorer installed (i.e. Root Explorer, or ES file explorer) then you can use adb
in cmd type 'adb shell'
then the following...
>su
>rm /system/app/Facebook.apk
(notice the capital 'F' in Facebook. the shell is case sensitive)

Brilliant , thanks I will give it a try

Only custom ROMS can remove stock apps

Yea, it says cant be removed
Any other suggestions ?
Twitter works ok, but on the launcher pro facebook widget it says error:invalid_key
any other suggestions ?
Steve

Off course you need to be rooted and you can download titanium backup from market to easily remove system app. Use it with great caution!!!

Thanks , I downloaded that, and I am not ROOTED (which I understand means it needs root priviliages to remove the program)
Soooooooooooooo , how do I get it rooted ?
Thanks

I still havntdone this , and still cant remove facebook and its driving me MAD !!!

Thanks
Steve

Just start from the downgrade the system and then , root, s-off,.......... It is a lot of tutorials. use serch button

Even if you're not intending to install CyanogenMod I found their guide to be the easiest to understand.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_HD:_Rooting

But dont forget once u have rooted and removed facebook u will not be able to install any ota updates from htc. Based on the bug infested updates so far that may not be a bad thing.

Also if you have root permissions, use Root Explorer, go to system --> app --> and delete the Facebook app. Then you no need to hack with adb or computer.

[Q] Does CM7 come with that android market included?

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.

Problem solved!!!!

I need little help or better an guide.i will install gingerbread keyboard or ics keyboard app as system app,i have see it often in custom roms,but when i install it with rootexplorer/with aroma file manager or with system app installer it whant work.i have tested many different keyboard app with many different methods,but everytime when i choose it under settings-local and text it give me forceclose.
it where very nice when anyone say me how to make it,many thanx.....
edit:have solved the problem,its very easy.to make it work u must open the apk and look for the libfiles which u find under lib-armeabi,just cpy all libs to your rom under system/libs and set permission rw-r-r- rhan reboot,done.have tested with ics keyboard-kii keyboard-gingerbread keyboard,all from store and all was working.

Re: Question/need help for install Keyboard app as system app
Try setting right permissions..
rw-r--r--
Y = Check
N= No Check
Y~Y~N
Y~N~N
Y~N~N

thats a normal way for such things,anyway i doesnt work

Re: Question/need help for install Keyboard app as system app
I dont think installing by root explorer is good idea. You bettr install through normal installer.
It will install if it is supportd. Otherwise getting FC is normal cuz rom dosent support that keyboard. System app installer also does the same sort of thing you did so but automatically. But same FC will appear... even with link2sd.
If stock keyboard bothering you just deleat.
:thumbup:

supporting is not the problem,the thing is that i have 4-5 custom roms with those keyboards installed in system,so it must work and i will known how.

problem solved,when need info just look in first post.

Great. That was also my solution when I install lmt launcher on my karbonn a30 I opened the apk and took out the appropriate libs.

[Q] Bypass exchange security

Hey all,
I'm coming from the Samsung Epic 4G touch ..... thankfully off sprint ......... that was a horrible 4 years of abysmal coverage .. slow speeds when it would connect .. and random disconnects thrown in just for fun....
I'm pulling crazy fast speeds everywhere I go ... Hit 50Mbps this morning on my commute..
However, one thing I liked about my samsung was that there was an APK to bypass the exchange security pin ...
Anybody know if the Epic 4g Touch (Sprint version of SGS2) APK will work on the G2? or if there is a version out there that will accomplish this ?
I saw one for the GS4 ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355654
Didn't know if this would work on the LG G2 ...
Thanks in advance!!!!
Thanks guys!!!!

Are you rooted? Do you have twrp installed? If so try it and give us a yay or nay. It's not that difficult.

Awesome!!! I hope you get it ... It's a pain in the ass to have to password unlock my phone everytime the screen goes off

I would also love this email bypass apk

Here is an Xposed module designed for the G2 that bypasses the Exchange password policy. Use at your own risk.

anybody got this to work?

When I try to install, it just says "Application not installed" and doesn't do anything .... I don't know if I need to put it in a special folder or something for xposed to see it ...... I don't know what to do
any ideas or is there a different way to install this APK ?

Try saving the apk then using solid Explorer or the built in file manager to find and install it. Installing from the notification shade doesn't seem to work

This is how I did it.. file explorer ... install
It just then goes to a screen that says not installed and your only option is to exit.
Xposed doesn't seem to know anything about this file.

Make sure to go to settings, security, and select install all apps or similar option

Solution
I just did this on my own before seeing your post- hopefully you will find this useful.
I used this set of APKs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965468
Grab Email-JB.apk and Exchange2.apk
First, you need to completely uninstall (not just freeze) the LG Email app. I used Titanium Back to do this- make a backup of the app first in case you ever wanted to go back for whatever reason. Once the LG Email app is uninstalled, you can install the 2 AOSP APKs.
I didn't try installing them normally (download->open->install), it's worth a shot- instead I used the directions in the post to push the APKs via ADB.
You should see "Success" after pushing both via ADB (I did Exchange2.apk first, but I can't imagine it would matter). Unplug your phone, open Email, and you're set. My Email is syncing perfectly with my corporate email, no lock screen password required.

YES!!!!!!!!!! This totally works..
Thank you for looking out, and thanks for posting this ... I've been waiting to be able to add this .. and having to carry 2 phones to check email because I didnt want to be pinlocked on my G2!!
My procedure -
Rom tool box free for the uninstall, the titanium way didnt work for me because I have TWRP installed .. and when it would try the recovery removal .. it would boot to TWRP instead of the stock recovery ...
Anyways, Rom Toolbox free has an uninstall utility, couldnt be easier .. uninstalls without a reboot needed.
Turned on wireless storage, copied over exchange2.apk and Email-jb.apk and installed through android .. didnt use the ADB method .... it works perfectly!!!!!!
Thanks again.

That works. Only downside is it removed the feature of peak and off peak for message retrieval. oh well.

Tried this several ways, but it does not install. Can u give some more direction on this? Do we put itf in the apps folders? Flash it? Any advice would be appreciated. I like the lg email app and don't want to go back to the stock one if possible.

if someone figures out how to do this with the stock email app that comes with the att version, that would be awesome. I like that version better than the one you have to install to get this to work.

I really hate having to use a pin, but I have to give my work permission to remote wipe my phone. Is there any chance this could be flagged by my employer and they remote wipe my phone? That would really suck because of the lack of memory card. Anybody that has been remote wiped, did it affect the entire phone, or just the main system?
