I've removed some software via adb pull, rm, etc. but my manage applications list, still shows some of these pieces of software.
How can I clear this data to reflect true, current installations?
Thanks.

Was this answered? I need to know how to do this too. Searches throughout forum didn't find any results about this for me. Thanks.
I've found that if I open "com.smithmicro.DM" or "Download Manager" in Manage Applications and then "Clear Data" in either one of them, it refreshes the Manage Apps list and all the ghost apps are gone. But after every reboot these ghost apps are in the list again, so that isn't a permanent fix.

never got a response, and just sort of let it go. I'm sure there is a .db file somewhere that stores this information.
Anyone have any idea?
Try adb sync.

Gosh, I can't find anything out there about how to use adb sync, been searching for a good half hour or more. The few hits I found didn't make sense to me.
I enter 'adb sync' and get returned to me: "Product directory not specified; use -p or define ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT"
Get that even after entering 'adb remount' then 'adb sync'. I have also read 'adb help all' and don't understand what all that means -- it's a little over my head.
Any further help/thoughts? Thanks.
I'm looking through my nandroids .img files and attempting to determine where this information is stored. I found some stuff in the data/data directory which seems to be folders for all the apps we have ever installed on the phone. even ones I know I have removed.
I'm going to nandroid and attempt to remove them and see if that will fix our problem. It is annoying to go into Applications and have it take forever to load with 30-40 apps that aren't even installed anymore.
I'll update you in a bit.

well i removed it and it shows 0kb now as the size where before it showed the size of the folder. I'm rebooting to see if it works.
Well...apparently I'm in a bootloop. let me try clearing Dalvik
Now I have my nandroid, but does anyone know why removing a file in /data/data would cause a bootloop? It was leftover from a program that I removed via ADB when I first flashed my current ROM.
Thanks.

Don't know the answer to that. Side question: Did what you do actually remove those ghost apps/pieces from the Manage Apps list? Or I guess maybe you never found out because of the bootloop?
Thanks for trying something.

The item was still in the list, but it showed 0.0 kb where as before it showed like 75kb or whatever. I was trying to reboot to see if it would rebuild the file that it sued, but....i got stuck in my bootloop and had to nandroid...

Any updates on this anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
No biggie, just kinda annoying and would like to get to the bottom of it .
I've been attempting a solution to this annoying issue. Read somewhere in here someone refer to an app on the market capable of doing this...
Try reflashing your recovery. It seemes like your nandroid your restoring may still have the data from the apps you pulled out. So when you delete them and wipe everything but then do a nand restore I think your putting the leftover data back on. In my experience when I pull or delete system apps that I don't use I always do them this way.
Using TB I delete all the apps I don't use. Then in TB I refresh the app list to show current app installed. Then I go into my manage apps settings to force close TB then clear data then unistall Tb. Then I reboot and let the phone settle in. Then I power down and reboot into recovery with power and home. I used to with the volume down and power but Ive always had bootloops and errors that way. Since I started using power and home I've had no problems. Anyways-- Then I wipe cache and dev cache and reboot once more. After that I reboot and then do a nand backup. I know its a lot and I'm not sure if this will help you at all but just thought Id put it on here in case it might. Well good luck and I hope you get it all worked out.
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
Thank you, i will try what you have suggested. I use TB, and am familiar with the whole process, but have never wiped cache and dev cache.
I completely agree with your statement of "letting the phone settle in", so true...
After the market fix has been applied I see most apps (including some that I know are protected) but not all. From my experience on the DroidX, this is usually an issue with the build.prop not reporingt a valid ROM to google.
For example, I can search on my DX for "wii controller ime" and find the app. My Archos 101 does not. (I side loaded it.)
If someone has a build.prop for an Archos Gen 8, that will see that send it my way please.
Can you tell me what you've changed in the build.prop of your DX?

This sounds cool! Is there a way a non rooted device can get this? Perhaps by some installation.apk
Thanks
Definitly not possible without root. I don't know if it's even possible with temproot
Sent from my A101IT using Tapatalk
Yeah, basically you need to fool the market into thinking you have a certified device. Not an easy task from what I understand. If you have a rooted Android phone you can download te app there, then use Titainium Backup to get the apk off the phone and side load it on you Archos. At least tha is what I do.

Hi chulri,
I follow your instruction above by modifying the fingerprint in /system/build.prop, then did the same market fix as instructed by the gappsinstall thread, reboot. I still can't find the gun bros app.
What else I have to do? (I had 2.1.4 rw root installed before doing this)
Now "My Apps" list is gone in the Google Market, can I get the list back?
Update: ok, it works now. I have to clear cache, clear data, force stop and then run the Market again. Now Gun Bros also shows up, and My Apps list also populate.
I still can't find Heywire app, anyone can see this app after this mod?
I have used archangel to root, then used marketenabler app from the market,
no other steps involved.
I seem to see all apps now (not 100% sure on that) but, definately see some protected apps that I couldnt see before and havent come across any on my HTC Desire that the Archos isnt seeing now.

Because I put my build.prop into /system to replace it, then force stop the Market and clean cache, then Reboot

[Solved]I think the Market Fix trick only work in old Market, it means you need to "Uninstall updates" after clean cache and force stop the Market.
Can someone please post up step by step how to edit the build.prop file ??
I've never done such a thing and I'm desperately trying to figure this out for a guide that I'm working on putting together..
I'm rooted (perma root) FWIW
Thanks a TON.
I use a file manager to copy the file to the sd and then connect to the computer via usb and edit with notepad++.. don't use windows notepad or wordpad as I've had problems with them. After the file is edited.. safely disconnect from the computer. Then I add .bak to the end of the original file and then copy the new edited file over to replace it.
I hope that helps. I believe there are also text editors in the market, but I like editing with a real keyboard.

Here: I"ve used the RootExplorer method detailed in this forum:
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/154976-2-2-market-issues-use-mod.html
Also to all: There are two states possible with the Market. Fixed if you the clear cache hack, unfixed if you do not do it or if you undo it...(to undo just do the clear Cache path but add clear data....no need to stop googleservicesframework and no need to reboot...just restart Market app and accept legal terms). The difference fixed state gives more apps but will hide some others from you: you get google maps, zeam, ADW, ...but you loose Google Earth, Flash Player 10, TVU, .... Jus to name a few. So the key thing is to know how to quicly switch from one state to the other. use the clear cache hack to get into fixed state and use my undo rootine (clear data) to revert the fix.
Once you add the fix to build prop you pretty much have now 4 possible states:
Please see my post below for my tests on the 4 different states and some conclusions
http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=48312
Here's how to very easily undo the fix if you need to...
..Once you've done the Market fix you do not need to reinstall Market to go back to state before applying the fix. Once you do the Market fix you will gain access to few more apps but many apps requiring froyo will no longer show up anymore: that's the case of apps like TVU, Flash 10, .... (there must be many more). I suspect the market fix makes the device and generic device but not a froyo one.
To go back an forth between the fix and the original state all you need is to do this;
go to Settings --- Applications --Manage Applications ---Running -- Market ---Clear Cache ----Clear Data --Force Stop--Relaunch Market ---Accept Terms and Conditions ---
Voila. and you're back to the original State where you can find flash 10 & other froyo only apps.
If you do the the fix...you loose flash ..but gaine other apps...the fix skip the Clear Data steps ...and the Clear Data step will undo the fix. THe fix requires reboot..To undo it you do not need to reboot and do not need to stop googleframework.
I do this fix and after seach keyword "adnroid" i get about 143000 apps.
Is it ok?

Yes, that's fine...you good...fixed state, fixed buld.prop
but note you may still not see some apps with are available in unfixed state, fixed build.prop (like TVU, Google Earth, Adobe Connect, flash 10.01,..)
That's the con of fixed state...you gain some you loose some....
Hi there
I have a couple of questions here before I take the plunge and root my Nook.
1) Is there a simpler way of backing up the default Nook system/ROM other than the "dd if=/dev/<nook> of=nook_touch_backup.img bs=1M" method in case I need to send it in for repairs? This method is too complicated for me. Or is there anywhere I can download the default image?
2) How do I switch back to the default Nook UI after rooting or is it not possible and I am stuck with the "rooted Android" interface?
3) After rooting, is it possible to install an app using the apk file instead of going through the market?
4) Lastly, would I still be able to install any firmware updates from B&N after rooting? Or is there no turning back?
My apologies if these questions have been asked before. Thank you very much in advance.
I'm still very much an Android OS noob, but did have great success with all the methods given here (rooting, backing up, installing, et. al.... this place is a gold mine for info), hence I'll venture some answers:
1) Simpler way of backing up: I didn't use that method. I think you might have read the first post in this thread, but take a look at post #2 (the link will take you directly there). It's what I used to effect a backup image using a WindowsOS. Very clear and very easy. (Extra: I found a great vid and some very helpful additional info on rooting at The E-Reader Blog)
2) Switching back to Nook UI: Yes. After TouchNooting, you can do this at any time by simply pressing the Nook hardware button at the bottom of the unit.
3) Installing APKs manually: Yes. No problems at all. I should mention I have no problems using the market either (check out this page at fixing any Market problems)
4) Post-root Nook firmware updates: Well, I updated (manually) to v1.01 BEFORE I rooted because I had read there were some people experiencing problems doing it in reverse. Future updates? I have no idea, but I did ask the same question in this XDA thread.

Stuck at YouTube step ... Help!
Hi --
I have a Nook Touch with version 1.0.0 of the software. (Model BNRV300.) A few days ago I tried to root it with the touchnooter-1-6-24 method. Everything went fine until I launched YouTube and tried to select "My Channel": I got a "Network Error" message. (I think the WiFi was working OK, however.)
On a subsequent try I could not even get that far: when I clicked the YouTube icon, nothing happened.
My Nook is registered with B&N, although not with a Gmail address.
Should I try to reset my Nook and try everything again? (Unfortunately I did not orignally back it up.) If so, how exactly would I reset it? And then I would have to re-register it with B&N, right? Thanks and sorry I'm such a newbie at this. --Tom
Well, instruction for rooting tell that you need both BN and youtube to be done on the same gmail account, otherwise it won't work at all.
And Youtube is pretty worthless in a eink screen.

This is incorrect, what you need is an gmail/youtube linked account.
I did not use my gmail address for B&N registration, only for youtube/market, and it worked just fine.

hi yesterday arribed my nook before register i ve fully charged And make a backup using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15115162&postcount=2
i ve rooted using that guide. http://www.talkinrapper.com/2011/07/rooted-nook-touch-come-e-perche-e-piu.html
but now i have that big oroblem. while rooting forever use too much time i ve unplugged the sd and reboot nook. i ve seen the android logo and inserted the gmail data but i pressed the home button. now when i press on the left i have the little android meu but if i press home android button nothong happen and i can t see marketplace or gmail but the b & n market.
i think is a partial rooting but now what can i do? do i have to rostore the backup and make another rooting? let me knoww
thanks
the market doesent work. whatz can i do?
I have a question regarding the setup after installing TouchNooter. So after installing it, it got stuck on the Nook loading page (with mini circle) so I rebooted Rooted Forever screen show up and was able to enter the Go Launcher screen page. However, I only saw Market, Calendar, Gmail, and Settings. There was no Youtube App as describe. Is there anywhere else it could be or do I have to do a Factory Reset again? Thanks in advance.
Edit: NVM, I found it going through the 4 windows display option
Hey all. I have a Droid X that has been running with Launcher Pro Plus for the past few months.
I rooted my phone the other day and everything was going fine. I downloaded Titanium Backup, ShootMe, and then Metamorph.
I've been checking out droidpirate.com and downloaded a few different notification bar color schemes, which were working fine. Today I downloaded another and decided I wanted to change it, so I switched to a new one through Metamorph, applied it, and rebooted my phone. Upon restart it was still the same color as before, so I applied again and before I could restart it gave me an error message that the status/notification bar (not sure which it said at the time) had crashed.
I restarted it, and ever since then I've had no notification bar. I've tried reapplying the color schemes in Metamorph and restarting after, but nothing has changed.
I've gone to the Launcher Pro settings and toggled on and off the "hide notification bar" setting which hasn't changed anything. I've restored my backup in Titanium Backup and it is still the same. I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
What do you all suggest? It really sucks to not see my battery meter, time, etc. when I open my phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't know if this is best practice, but I would just re-sbf / reinstall rom.

Does that mean flashing the Droid X rom? I am new to all of this, so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. And what guide would you recommend for going about doing this? Thanks!
Download RSD Lite and flash an SBF. There's a sticky telling you how to do this I'll subscribe to this thread in case you have any questions.
Great, thanks for the info! I'll give this a try tomorrow.
Wait!
Before you do that...
(Which is good advice, and would be my second choice...but you'll be without all of your applications and settings. This will put you on complete stock!)
http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/4.5.602/
Download the file that this theme was changing.
(system/framework/framework-res.apk I think?)
Download "Root Explorer" from the market...or a free alternative if you can get one to work.
I think "ES file explorer" works, but I've never tried it.
Check the "permissions" on the file you'll be replacing...and change the new file to have the same permissions (prior to moving, just to be safe).
Move and replace the new file into place.
If your phone didn't reboot during that process...
Double check the permissions again...
And reboot.
I knew it was only a matter of time, and that's a good resolve. Thanks for the alternative!

I'm not seeing that file on the website you mentioned. If I ctrl+f framework, all I see is a GoogleServicesFramework.apk file. Would it perhaps be the StatusWidget.apk from that list that I am looking for?
Status widget doesn't sound right, but I have never had to recover my notifications bar before.

Sorry man, at work...and can't check...but this should have it.
Or if you've purchased Rom Toolbox or Rom Manager...they have some .zips you can download via your phone and extract with your PC.
Ahh this is all confusing me. I can't find the framework-res.apk on that site either. Would it work to just hard reset my phone then download an app restore app? Then re-root it and restore everything to how it used to be with Titanium?
The framework-res.apk was an attempt to fix your phone without wiping your apps and all that fun stuff. A hard reset wouldn't fix the problem because the file, in theory, is still corrupted or not working. I would sbf your phone. It looks creepy but it's just resetting back to stock.

Go down to SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?
If the files are offline because of the SOPAA thing, let me know.
Alright, looks like that's what I'm gonna try. Thanks to both of you for all the help, it is greatly appreciated . Before I go through with it I was just wondering, if I backup all my apps to my SD card with "App Backup and Restore" then reinstall the app after the backup, I'm guessing it should be able to reinstall my apps from the SD afterwards? (I wouldn't use Titanium to restore because I'm assuming that would restore my phone with the flawed system data I have now)
The apps themselves wont be flawed. The phone runs off a whole bunch of apk's. Just the apk that controls the notification bar was messed up. You should be fine with backing up your apps regardless of method. Use what program you're comfortable with.

Agreed...
But to reiterate...
Titanium won't bork you in any way.
Simply use the option>batch>restore USER apps option and you'll be %100 back to where you were...aside from having to change your settings back to where you had them...
Also...
Facebook and any "Overclocking" applications seem to behave badly when restored.
Not in a negative way...
But I always uninstall them after a restore and install manually through the market...
Facebook won't receive push notifications if you don't.
And Overclock apps simply may not work.
Everything else (game data...whatever) will be exactly as you had it.
Check my sig if you need...
And use the sections about backing up and restoring your data.
Ignore the actual rom flashing part...as it's irrelevant in your situation.
There is also another SBF link in there if the one Fluffy posted is dead.
So I downloaded the latest RSD lite with no problems, but whenever I try to download the "Droid X 4.5.602 SBF Gingerbread 2.3.3" file, it leads me to http://www.multiupload.com/57SX6Q5HJI which lists the file as 602.sbf.zip but downloads as a program called "iLivid", which is a video downloading program.
Any suggestions?

Figures, thanks a bunch. I tried the download links from two different forums and both led to that same program download, but it looks like I've got the right one downloading now.

i want some help in doing it. i could have gone through the forums but there being many, it really is a bit hard to choose the right one and in right order. i would like anyone of you to share the links in order of it supposed to be done, i.e. backing up my default files and then to hacking etc. a video tutorial link would be more appreciated. As i have some of my books scanned, suggest a reader to read scanned pdfs after hacking...
and of course i'm not a regular hacker,except that i have hacked my psp once so no problem getting along with the instructions...
Expecting a few gud responses, thanQ

TouchNooterwill take care of the rooting. Do a backup before you do anything else.

k,thanks a lot. I rooted my nook successfully
Now to make backup of my factory files, I tried the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142983 which guides me to backup my files. but the noogie.img link does not have any download in that thread. what really is noogie and please give me an alternate link to noogie.img.
thanks

You need to follow the redirect link on NookDevs. The page has been moved. noogie.img is available from that page.
thanks again, i'm done with backing up too.
now, i couldn't find a way to install the first app in the nook memory. of course u can use file manager, but there's no file manager preinstalled, is there? how to get to that apk file?

Wait... are you trying to do the manual rooting process? There are automated rooters. Noogie is used to backup and root manually (if you want to).

Assuming you used the latest TouchNooter, Super Manager should work. I think SM is new from the version of TN that I last used.
Or, once Market is working, download your favorite.

my doubts dont seem to be ending any soon....
-i'm done with everything, even market's working. but i couldn't search in market. when i type in search box and enter - no response...
-i managed to find 'file manager'' in top free app list and installed it. now when i try to install the apks in micro sd card, it says 'for security,ur phone is set to block non android sourced apps',though i checked 'allow non market apps' in nook color tools. suggest me a way to install the apps in card.
-the market shows the apps with $ pricing, how to make it regional?
-sometimes while swiping to scroll, the page goes to the end all the way...
-after rooting the wifi is disconnecting frequently
thanks in advance...

That seems to be a problem some people have and others don't. What version of the B&N firmware are you running?

Sounds like you need to allow 3rd party apps. Launch NookColor Tools, then toggle the Allow Non-Market Apps settings off and back on. Then try again.

Those aren't really rooting issues.

This may be related to the B&N firmware version you're running. Apparently, the NST v1.1.0 has known problems with some 802.11n networks, WPA2 settings and various other random wifi issues. I don't believe TN touches wifi, so it shouldn't have changed.
would you say go ahead, if i say i'm gonna restore the factory settings with the backup and root again?
and yes, i rooted with the latest touchnooter (the link u posted)
