Dear all,
i had rooted using gingerbreak and remove recommended bloated apps under another thread. But right now, i am facing a minor issues.
If i go to my contacts, i am not able to able to 'Touch a contact to view its detail'.
Can anyone advise what should i do?
SL
Feature is listed under page 33 in the user guide...
I had the same problem, Infinite view 0.9.3 is needed for that function..
ok, i restore infiniteview using titanium backup but still the services is not running.
what should i do next?
who have the apk for infiniteview and advise me which folder to restore it to?
try to push this in /system/app
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1WKW9W6Z
You can also use root explorer.
I found it at:
root/system/app
thank guys... i move the file to sd card, used application installer and install the apk. everything work well now..
Just wanna thank too as I just accidentally deleted it after flashing my phone.
Thanks.
I have had this issue for a very long time and could not find a lasting and solid solution. After researching the problem for a few weeks I found a solution that worked for me, finally.
The issue seems to have triggered when I used the Titanium Backup Pro Market tools to unlink and link apps to my market account and system apps were added by accident. This should work with any app that can link and unlink apps to and from the Market.
Here is the step-by-step solution for TB Pro:
1) Go to Market Tools -> Market Doctor and Unlink all User & System apps.
2) Reboot device.
3) Open any Root Explorer or Browser and locate and delete the file "market_assets.db" in "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases".
4) Reboot device.
5) Go to TB Pro and to Market Tools -> Market Doctor -> User Apps and link all the User Apps that you installed on your device from the Android Market. Make sure that no System App is linked.
6) Reboot device.
Then the apps you have linked to your account will appear again in Your Apps of the Market after a few minutes. If they do not then install a new free app or a free app that you had previously installed and uninstalled and your apps should appear soon.
In my case I had used all proposed solutions with no luck and this was the only solid solution. I used TB Pro and Root Browser Lite to do this. You could probably use MyBackup for free (30 days trial) to do the same process but if you had this issues chances are that you already have an app that can unlink and link apps from the market.
I hope this sorts out your issue too
Edit 6 FEB 2012: This solution is temporary unfortunately. The cause of the problem is linking apps to the market that were not downloaded from the market or linking to the market from a backup that is quite old/corrupted. To sort this out there is an app now and you can find it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22178757&postcount=162
It is called Market Fixer and it detects market links that are problematic and removes them to restore the My Apps functionality in the Market.
Cool thanks, I had already found that solution by myself and it works fine, but doesn't survive a hard reset, meaning everytime I flash a new rom with full wipe the problem comes back and I have to go through this again...
I tried to use another account with a full wipe and no problem, so my account must be screwed for life.
Thanks titanium

Also, with market enabler I can see paid apps and even install previous bought apps but cannot buy anything.
With 2 accounts setup at the same time, I can mysteriously buy apps !!!
If I delete the second account, bam, I can't buy anymore.
Looks like the simple presence of a "clean" account sorts things out for the corrupted one...

This hasn't occurred to me at any point. I can always purchase apps from the Market.

This is strange. Are you looking in the internal SD card? What rom are you running and which version of the Market you have installed?

I am using Root Explorer. From "/" i navigate to "/data/data/com.android.vending/".
At that folder is see these sub-folders:
app_carrier_billing
app_sslcache
app_uri_url_map
cache
lib
But there is no databases sub-folder.
I am using DarkyROM 10.4.2 and Market version is 3.4.4.
@Vrayhem
I'm not sure yet but it seems to work.
I had too much disappointment to excite me too.
But thank you very much for your job.
@ledbrv
What root browser to you use?
If it is ES Explorer you can't search file in root system with it.
Choose "Root Browser Lite"

You are missing the folders databases and shared_prefs then. What happens if you try to create an empty folder there called databases?
Alternatively you can search for the file "market_assets.db" to see where it is saved at. Root browser lite has both search and create new folder functions.
I use Root Explorer.
I created the "databases" folder under /data/data/com.android.vending/ and rebooted. Nothing happened. No files appeared inside databases. Then I "Force stop" and "Clear data" of Market app and reboot. After that databases folder disappears again.

This can only be explained by the fact that you are using a custom rom which is probably based on a previous stock rom than the one we have or it has been modified to affect that part of the market.
I also had an Android Market account corruption where apps I never purchased or never downloaded appeared in my apps when I logged into my account on the PC. Some of those apps would appear under my Apps in the Market for a long time. What I did was flash the latest rom XLA4 with Mobile Odin Pro (to not lose root), flash the CF root kernel to restore CWM functionality, wipe internal sd card/apps/data/factory reset/dalvik cache, install all the apps I wanted through the Android Market account on my PC and then follow the procedure I mention in my first post here. Now (today in fact) I checked my Android Market account online and all the "fake" apps are gone, the duplicates are gone and everything is in place. Also the Market on my phone is working great with no issues and all the apps I linked are there.
Hi,
One day after the changes, the market on my phone is still working great with no issues.
Just a point, system applications are considered not installed.
It seems to me that before this kind of application was not in the list of installed applications on the market or unable to uninstall.
Could you tell me what you think about and if I have to do something?

System applications should not appear in your apps unless you updated an app like Youtube or Maps at some point, so that it will give you the option to uninstall it. You probably added them with TB Pro when you linked the apps to the market as part of the solution. I haven't added them in my case and added only the apps I have installed/bought from the market myself. Therefore, they are not in the Not Installed section.
Some apps indeed do not have the option to be uninstalled (even apps I have bought myself) but it is rare and you can still uninstall them using TB Pro.
Tried this just now on a Galaxy Nexus with ICS 4.0.2 stock rom. (Should this work on this phone too?)
Only thing I did different is I left a couple system apps (like maps etc..) checked during the restore market links in Titanium Backup...
Could this be the problem? Also after deleting the database file and rebooting, I spent about 10+ mins deselecting system and amazon apps from the restore market links, before actually running it. Did it repopulate the database before ran the fix links option and screw things up?
I tried also clearing market data to see if that would help but i did this after this fix did not work. It didn't help either.

I do not know if this fix will work with ICS. You can try it again only adding apps you actually purchased or installed free through the Market to see if that was the issue.

Thanks. I did try it again like you mention and still no luck. I did however do a complete wipe and reinstalled the stock rom. Initially the market was working, until I restored user apps with data with titanium backup, then immediately I was back to the same problem.
So like you said initially, its definitely related to Titanium Backup.
Thanks,
Vrayhem,
Thank you so much for posting this solution.
I followed your instructions carefully on my fully rooted OEM Rom Atrix 2, but it did not work for me the first time. However, I performed them again, only this time, for each and every one of the reboots (I rebooted using Quick Boot ver.4.1), on the way back up I booted back up into recovery, and wiped the cache. I am not sure how that could have made a difference, but it appears to have been necessary in my case. I have not installed a custom ROM yet (was waiting for bootloader unlocking, but it's not hopeful, so I'll be using some other method).
Motorola Atrix 2
Model MB865
Market ver.3.4.4
Root Explorer ver.2.17.2
Quick Boot ver.4.1
Titanium BU Pro ver.4.7.5
System ver. 55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US
Android OS v.2.3.5
Kernel 2.6.35.7-gac99e44
[email protected] #1
Build Number 5.5.1-175_EDFFW1-16
======UPDATE======
Well, it worked for a few days. Somehow, it broke again on it's own. I had not messed with any market links or anything. Didn't flash anything, and didn't even muddle with any system files. Just flat out, unprovoked, snafu for no apparent reason.
meh.
Does this work across devices?

This is very frustrating because I am having this happen more and more on different roms and even before installing titanium backup. The fix discussed here did not fix mine either. Sucks because it is only on some roms and not others.
Unable to download certain apps says " insufficient storage available" this is just some apps and there is sufficient storage as I don't have many apps. Also now I keep getting a notification "an application requires your attention" and it's google play services saying it needs an update when I install it it says "insufficient storage available" this started happening after I update to mf9 from the rooted older version. Also my phone now instead of taking only seconds to boot now takes like 2 minutes...
I'm on 4.2.2, mf9, rooted with cf root and I've only done a couple mods hotspot, camera ....
Help please!!!
You probably have extra nandroid backups stored on your device. Try and clear those through cwm?

Go to cwm and go to backups and restore. Find an option that says delete backups.
Delete every backup and then make a fresh new one.
How big are your backups, generally?

I downloaded lucky patcher to see if it would work and clear the cashe but it did nothing. I can download any new app just can't update some.
The most space being used is the "system memory" which is using 6gb of data then the next one is apps but that's just 1gb

Try this old post I wrote but it seemed to work for a buddy of mine recently. Couldn't hurt to try.
I had this exact problem right after doing the hotspot mod off qbkings site. Eventually after clearing cache and resets I couldn't get the phone to make it through boot into Android. It was giving me google.transport errors or something. I gave up and ODINed the stock rooted mf9 rom back to it. Phone is fine now, has been for a week or more, but I'm leary of trying to hotspot mod again...although I really need it.

Your first problem was using qbkings site for files instead of getting them from the xda forum where the instructions and files are the correct ones. Almost all problems with the hotspot mod are caused by either installing the wrong file or a bad download of that file. You MUST know whether you are "ODEXED" or "DEODEXED", after you know that, then you need to make sure you know what firmware you are on, MF9, MDL, MDC. Once you have that info, you go to crawj's thread in the development section and download the correct zip file and install in recovery. If you matched the correct file with your firmware and odexed condition than you will not have any problems. I can't believe how many people rely on these how to videos that are usually so out of date that they are dangerous to follow.
Spoken like a true know it all...thanks.
Stock rooted MF9 ROM using the MF9 odexed version services files.
Xfered files manually via ESfiles. Causes issues with new installs...
I don't have a custom recovery to flash from. I odexed the ROM in there.
and alot of times, if not most, qbking references the original files on xda.
Try this!

Delete the Folder 'lost+found' in the system storage.. Works under CM 10.2
Use lucky patcher.
It shows insufficient storage because some file of the app already exists in your sdcard.(if you had installed the app before and removed)
By using lucky patcher, It automatically finds the unused .odex file and deletes it. You can then install the app successfully without any error

hey i want to root my alcatel 4033 because of the 512mb of memory, most of it is used up by preinstalled apps but i dont know what to do after rooting it. Can any one help me? i can help my self when it comes to technology and i can follow instuctions
Hi there, i have the same Phone. Got it rooted with the framaroot app. Then i searched the web for custom roms. First Nothing Then i came a cross this site http://www.442kitkat.info/mp3-0/alcatel-one-touch-pop-c3-5687.html. seems interessting? ! I will try to flash it and See how it works out

I got the A version (4033a) i guess. Without dual sim
Bull****. Got to complete a task/buy something. Forget about this link.
Hi, U can remove useless apps using root explorer or root app delete.. Or search for any other custom rom built for ur fone.
Without custom roms, usually this http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401 . With the different modules available for everything from ad blocking to theming to customizing the lockscreen, this is about as custom as you can go without a rom.

Hello ackeella27, I have an Alcatel POP C3 4033X and I had the same problem: preinstalled apps and some ram used by these (for example Viber, that sometimes used to crash even if I didn't open it). So i had decided to root my phone and remove these useless (for me) apps by deleting them from the system (they are in a folder called "/custpack/app/" in the case of 4033X but i don't know if it is the same for other model of POP C3).
But I use to reset my phone sometimes (with the decision to not install again too much apps xD ) so made an app, called "App Removal for Alcatel POP C3"
I think if you have 4033X model you can surely use it, if not but you decide even to try please tell me the result so I know that this app is also for another model of POP C3.
You can find the app atached the post; I've put an ads at the bottom because I'm planning to put it on Play Store
In the app, if you haven't already rooted your phone you can click "Get SU" button, and installation of Framaroot will be started: when it finishes open Framaroot and click Boromir. Restart the phone. You can open App Removal, and may modify the code, and then click "execute" button to remove the unnecessary apps.
I posted some sceenshot to show you how is the app
Description of used permissions:
1) SD Card
2) Network State and Internet
3) Superuser
1)To put Framaroot in the SD Card and start the installation process
2)To display Ads
3)To execute the root commands
I hope it works and is usefull
Have a nice day

Edit: The app is now obsolete: wait about one week and I will make a topic with the new app (better than this). Bye

Q did u als had this annoying message when u disable viber. Viber has stopped. Keeps popping up
Yes, so I reset my phone and delete it from the system. I think this phone's version of viber is bugged because if I install it from Play Store it function normally. If you would remove it feel free to use my app (it not remove only viber but also other programs, in future I update if with a cecklist of Alcatel system apps you can check to be removed, more comfortable)

Aight that woud be cool
First of all, I'd like to say that I'm making this thread after countless hours of hopeless google search and a very short but rude cal with the LG LatAm support.
I got a second hand LG L3 (e400g) as a gift after my previous phone was stolen, I can't really get anything else due to lack of money so I intend to use this little baby for quite some time.
First of all, I noticed it didn't had WhatsApp, which is crucial for my work, or Facebook or Messenger so I went to get them from the Play Store but it always crashed, I found out the phone had no Google Play services so after getting an apk for that and updating the Play Store and trying to download any application the download always said "pending" and nothing happened so I downloaded an Whatsapp apk and tried to install it, but I found out I only had 5 mb of storage free because Play Store + Play Store services had taken 100mb out of the measly 150 mb the phone comes with (the other 45 being occupied with what I guess are system files and stuff.
Alright, didnd't matter, started to look for some help and found out that by rooting the phone I could install custom play store apks that would most likely work and, more importantly, I could delete bloatware and install apps on the 1gb internal and external memories.
I tried to Install the LG drivers but I couldn't make them work on my PC so rooting at home wasn't an option, called LG to ask for help on how to install that but they told me I was a poorfag for purchasing and old second-hand phone and couldn help me (not their exact words but it surely felt like that).
Tried installing the drivers at work and they worked! So i, very happily, tried to finally root my phone using Spectrum Root but it couldn't work either, so I tried SuperOneClick and it didn't work either. I took some screens but currently I'm at home and I forgot to bring them with me but Spectrum couldn't root anything because it "couldn't create directories" and SuperOneClick just froze on the 7th step of shell root.
What can I do? Anything that doesn't involve getting a new phone because honestly this is the only thing I could afford and I won't be able to change phone for some months so any help would be really appreciated.
TL;DR: Phone can't acces play store, stupidly small storage space and there's no apparent way to root it.

I took some screens but currently I'm at home and I forgot to bring them with me but Spectrum couldn't root anything because it "couldn't create directories" and SuperOneClick just froze on the 7th step of shell root.
What can I do? Anything that doesn't involve getting a new phone because honestly this is the only thing I could afford and I won't be able to change phone for some months so any help would be really appreciated.
TL;DR: Phone can't acces play store, stupidly small storage space and there's no apparent way to root it.

Root the phone with KingoRoot, it worked in my LG Optimus L5 E610/E612(f)...
Install Root Browser or a smaller size root browser app (download through your PC and put it in the phone) and delete some system apps/bloatware and get App2SD to install your apps to SD Card.

I'm gonna try that as soon as I go to work tomorrow because that's the only PC I've found that can instal the drivers properly, thanks for the tip!

I used kingo root and it was a success, however it didn't install any SU terminal or something like that which made me think the root didn't work. I googled some stuff and found out sometimes while it works it doesn't install the SU terminal so I had to get a 3rd party terminall app, i typed "su" and the "$" changed to a "#" which supposedly means it works. I got App2SD but the only apps it shows to transfer to the SD card are the ones I installed manually, none of the bloatware or default ones. And when I tried to use the terminal to set the default install location the SD card (pm setInstallLocation 2) it apparently didn't work because when I pressed enter to input the code the "#" didn't reappeared and the any other code I used later like "date" or "exit" did nothing either.

Use Root Checker Basic to see if you have rooted it successfully!
Use root browser to free some memory by deleting system apps and then get Ext2SD (I think that's the app's name or whatever), it swaps your SD card's memory with your internal memory, so for example, if you have a SD card with 64gb and you swap memories using the app, you'll get 64gb internal memory, google it!

Root checker said yes but I still couldn't use any SU command, so I just did the unthinkable and ran Kingo Root again and it finally worked 100%. But that didn't fixed the whole play store thing so I just flashed the phone and isntalled CM9 and it worked. I can use the play store and download stuff but only the original 2.3.6 one, if I update it it stops working but I don't care and I don't really want to fix that because I may break something else.
Now for the storage, I could finally use App2SD (Which is apparently called Link2SD or something like that because googling App2SD only gave me results of Link2SD) And save a whole lot of space on my phone and could finally install whatsapp and a couple of browsing apps and stuff but I couldn't install for example facebook because, while I could copy like half of the app to the SD I couldn't copy the data folder.
I searched for your app's name in your previous post but It turns out Ext2SD isn't an app but rather something like a partition format so I got a partition app and partitioned half of the Internal SD but it couldn't copy anything there and I couldn't recover the space either so half the internal memory is kinda dead now. Is there any way to fix this and to have some more storage space without breaking the phone?

I don't know... Try searching in the internet or just reflash CM9 and see if the partitions are fixed.
