[Q] Unable to uninstall Wakelock Detector

TL;DR Google Play has only the Open option and no way to uninstall app
After updating my I337M from rooted NI2 Kit Kat to rooted OC4 Lollipop, I was unable to properly run Wakelock Detector. It was stock to stock so I didn't wipe factory settings.
Googled a suggestion to move the APK to /system/priv-app so I did that but still the same result.
Now when I want to try uninstall (so as to re-install) there is no option. Under Manage Apps the app isn't even listed. The APK is still under priv-app and I deleted it... still shows up in app drawer.
D'Oh! What else can I do to uninstall it properly?

i have the same problem

so ticked off. same here. even paid for the full version because sometimes that fixes issues like this. I can disable or freeze with titanium backup pro but can't uninstall. i think the problems happened after converting to system app. so now I have 2 frozen apps I want off my phone. On top of that the app stopped working after converting to system app. I get an error after the app loads. I emailed the developer and am waiting to hear back.

This days the application App2SD is able correct install Wakelock Detector as private , and it is able to uninstall it if it was installed as private .

System app disabled and still crashing

Hi
I disabled hangouts app on my stock 5.1.1 rom 'cause i dont use it, but every few hours it crashes without a reason (i think that if the app is disabled, it shouldn't be running in background).
I know that it's a system app and I could uninstall it easy using root privileges, but this situation doesn't appear in other smartphones.
So how can I fix it ? The pop-up notification is annoying me :')
The problem is related to stock nexus4 rom or is just a global bug ?

Facebook app installed with nougat?

Hi All
Last night I updated my s7 edge after checking for updates. I installed the update and when checking out the phone I saw at the back of my app pages that the Facebook app was installed! Has anyone ever come across something like this? I don't use Facebook app and never installed it. I installed an app called ap detective and it shows that the app was installed on 2017-03-09 at 00:09:03 about the same time the update was installed.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks

You should be able to disable it in application settings. I did the same with WhatsApp and Instagram.

I guess its included in the rom but as said you can disable it.
If you can uninstall it instead then it would be installed manually (through Google Play / Sideload whatever).

Yeah I did that. Samsung confirmed that it was with the rom update. Thanks

App not installed. Package Conflicts

Hello!!
My phone is an S7 Edge with Android 7.0. I am trying to manually install updates from apps included in the stock, like the calendar, messages ... etc. However I can not do it because it gives me this error: " App not installed. The package conflicts cith an existing package by te same name".
Please, can someone help me with this?

Uninstall the app and install the newest. If you have still the problem try install over ADB. Then you can see package name with conflict and uninstall it.

Hi,
You're trying to install two apps with the same package name, in Android data system the apps you install have its data saved in a folder with the format /data/*package name*/, therefore if two apps use the exact same package name and have different signatures (that is, one is not the update of another) you won't be able to install it.
As suggested, try to uninstall the stock apps and then install again manually. However I do not think you'll be able to do it, due to the nature of stock apps being installed in system partition. So for manually installing an stock app you'll first need to uninstall it, and that usually requires superuser privileges.
All the best,

That is the answer I have searched for days. You know APKMIRROR right? I am on unrooted SM-G935F (s7 edge) and I was not able to install any system apps before. But in apkmirror, some people uploaded newer versions of system apps and there was one visible difference: older versions which I cannot install was with android head icon, but newer version had it's own app icon next to the name, and that installed for me. For example s8 launcher (touchwiz home). I always got package error when tried to download versions with android head, and when someone uploaded version with its own icon, it installed. Can you explain this?
And now im waiting for new versions of s8 weather widget because there is no version available with the app icons....

All you need to to to install Touchwiz 9.0 is to encript device, and afterward install will go smoothly (All other experience 9.0 apps can be installed too).(Samsung S6, Android 7.0, December security patch).

Ok Google Detection Greyed Out..

Hey fellas..
From the past few days, I've been facing a problem..
When I go in the Google app, settings, voice, Ok Google detection, the option for enabling this feature has been GREYED OUT!!
I have a Lenovo A6000 Plus and I am running Nougat 7.1.1 on Resurrection Remix ROM.
I have tried clearing the cache and data and then restarting the phone but it doesn't help..
Also, updating the Google app to it's latest beta update also isn't helping..
Also, I have set English ( United States ) as my primary language.. But it still didn't work..
Also, I have given Google app all the permissions including Microphone..
Please help me..

Hi guys ,
This problem that u have can occur if the Google app is not installed as a system app .
So to fix this ,follow the next few steps -
1) Convert Google app into system app using apps like Titanium backup or anything of your preference.
2) Using any root Explorer navigate to Root > system > app and search for an app named similar to 'googlesearchbox' and cut the app from this folder.
3) Now Navigate to Root > system > priv-app and paste the app.
4) Finally Reboot and now the problem will be gone
