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...
back to the drawing board.

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...
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?
Different Mirror?

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. Thanks again for all the help, I'm going to try the whole restoration process this weekend when I have more time. I'll let you know how it goes.

soooo I used titaniumbackup to freeze and delete some apps after I had backed em up
now I wanted to perform a factory reset on the phone so I started restoring/unfreezing all the apps I had deleted/frozen
problem 1:
now I had deleted an app called lgsetupwizard which is apparantly the setup you go trough first time you turn on your device,
now it started replacing my launcher with this, and I couldn't change it to anything else...
problem 2: for one app I accedentaly clicked the delete backup instead of restore which was an app called lgslideaside I don't know what it does
and if it's important for the system to still work after a reset..
and if I can reset the device with the setupwizard still frozen? :s
thanks in advance
At this point you're probably better off restoring the phone using either the *.tot or *.kdz method.

Problem1: Can you drag down the notification bar and click the settings icon right above? If so then you could probably set from there the home app.
Problem2: I don't think its really important for the system to operate since lgslideaside is like an gesture app switching with 3 fingers you can switch apps if you slide your fingers to the other side so slideaside ;p
I don't know or you can reset the device with the setupwizard frozen I think you can but did you tryed to enable it from the Apps tab in the settings?
Else if setupwizard is really screwed and if its important then you could maybe push the setupwizard and the lgslideaside to your phone but you have to take it from the same rom you have but if you have stock then try to find a stock rom from the same android version and the the apk/odex. If everything doesn't work then you maybe need to flash the Stock android 4.4.2 kdz or jellybean in normal mode but This would be the last thing i would recommend to you since your phone is still booting ;p
Try my things and i hope your problem couldbe solved:good:
I themed my Axon 7 a few days ago using Substratum and the "DarkStock" theme. A few things don't theme and I always leave a few "Google" things out due to when they update, they'll crash (usually Photo's and Calendar).
I discovered today, that if I have "Android System" themed and try to change my input (keyboard) either in Settings or on the pull-down notifications, my phone will reboot. If I remove "Android System" from being themed, it works fine... But, if I'm running a dark theme I need the Android System themed, otherwise I get dark text on dark background and it's near impossible to read.
Luckily, I don't need to change my keyboard.....and I discovered it by accident, but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this or if it's just my phone?

Huh,didn't know zte didn't have their own keyboard.
Hmmm, I think theres a themed Google Keyboard in TBO. Personally I use SwiftKey as I can't stand the Google keyboard and want the numbers row on top. There's a great (free) SwiftKey in TBO as well with hundreds of (free) themed keyboards.

Yeah, they use TouchPal as their "stock" keyboard......But that's not really what I was getting at with my post
I've used SwiftKey for 2 or 3 years now.... I don't plan on changing, but if I wanted to, I can't because my phone will reboot unless I remove the "Android System" part of the theme.

I understand. It's pretty common for some themes to break things. Actually I was talking to one of guys from Substratum and he was saying that it shouldn't work but that Layers should. I told him that it was the other way round and he thinks it's the legacy part of Substratum. Which doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. I'm just glad we can theme some of it. So if you leave the Android system themed and leave the keyboard alone does it still crash? Maybe if you froze or uninstalled the stock keyboard in titanium it would work?

When I applied the theme, I only themed the following:
Android System
Calculator
Google Contacts & Dialer (I did not theme the stock dialer & contacts)
Google App
System UI
Substratum
The rest I left alone, so I never themed the keyboard.
Ok, so as long as you don't try to change the input keyboard it's fine. Sorry for being obtuse.
Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.
I just tries to apply a Substratum theme and phone got stuck on the Axon boot screen..
What sucked the most was I had just got Project fi working but forgot to make a back up before applying the theme so I had to do that all over again.
I am not able to compile my substratum theme. Did you do anything special like use a different kernel? Or flash anything?

No, I am rooted...You have to be to use Substratum. After some issues with reboots getting stuck on the "Axon" logo, I have not themed anything else (after the last clean flash of B29) other than the PlayStore (made it dark). I'm going to wait until it's fully compatible now.
That just frustrates me. My busy box is updated.... It just won't compile. I am rooted. 2.78. I want to try different themes.... At least Gmail and play store. It really would make the system ui pop.... If the white could be replaced.

I thought that Substratum required "Masquerade" to be built into the ROM for Substratum to work, which this one does not have. Correct?

I had that same problem until I disabled write protection, but you said your busy box is up to date I assume you've done that. My busy box not updating was the first clue that it was enable, then trying to modify build.prop and moving apps needed for project to system(I actually ended up just flashing gapps with google dialer, GSC and Project fi).
Once I got mine to compile I themed a lot more things than the Op but still not everything and phone wouldn't boot. I haven't tried again yet with only applying them to a few things but I've heard more recent builds of substratum have been having issues on non Nexus devices so thought that might be what happened with me.
BTW does anyone know if there's a way to remove the theme in recovery like with the old layers themes? I don't recall ever reading anything about it after the switch to substratum and couldn't find anything when phone wouldn't boot so i just flashed an oldish(missing project fi mods) system backup(on my Nexus if something went wrong with layers I'd just reflash vender image-seemed easier than deleting files).

I am pretty sure that you nailed it. I think my write protection is enabled. I have a root Explorer that offers to remount the filesystem so it can be r/w except it fails to complete the process. I had to access my filesystem through twrp file manager to actually change anything system level. But I am rooted, twrp and busybox pro says all good. I think I need to investigate how to get r/w access (like root does or should do).
And yes, there is an overlay file you can access through twrp that will save you if you bootloop. But also, in your home folder, there is an easier way to save yourself from a bootloop. The substratum folder is created when installed and inside the folder is 2 flashable zips. One for legacy and other. In case of emergency.
* I just checked and my busybox is 1.18.4. I can install without errors but it does not actually install. When I reload busybox it only shows old busybox...
++ got it. I had to TWRP, terminal: reboot disemmcwp

That may be why I get stuck at the boot logo when I apply more than the PlayStore....But It does work, other than messing up on the reboot after the theme is applied and working.
I'm currently running my PlayStore with a dark theme.....Was on Stock/rooted B29, now I'm using DrakenFX custom ROM.
I just tried applying Spectrum theme again but only android system, system UI and a few apps, still got stuck on boot.
I guess I'll try a simpler theme like biohazard and wait for a AOSP ROM before trying Spectrum again.
Biohazard rebooted when I opened Google photos. Then I tried Domination. Everything seemed OK. Then I tried spectrum and everything was great EXCEPT when I used my chase bank app and the location /GPS appeared and caused a reboot. Tried it again and same results.
I will keep trying different variations. I love substratum.

I love it too..... But I don't want to get stuck at the "Axon" boot logo again and have to wipe and start over (again, for the 3rd time). So, I'll wait to theme more until it gets worked out.
I know the keyboard selector crashed it, as well as holding the power button to get the "reboot" menu, but I use a different reboot menu now so that didn't matter.....But sometimes, I'd hold it too long by mistake and it'd reboot on me anyways.
When installing substratum, a folder is created in your home files. Inside the substratum folder is two zip files. Both are a recovery file that removes overlays. I used it to save myself about an hour ago.
After trying lots of good themes, I seem to have found one that is trouble free. Every attempt to cause a reboot fails. All past problems are now uncreatable .... But it might just be that I have not found the problem yet. If I do I will update my story. But..

Every 15-20 minutes, a popup message comes up with telling me there is a software update available. I have already rooted my phone, and attempting to install the update just fails, but the popup continues to come up even when it fails. Is there a package I can disable/freeze or somewhere I can go to get this annoying thing to go away? It's got a notification that appears with a little syncing icon in the bottom corner in the notification bar, so I figure there is something somewhere I can disable, but not sure where to look...

Removed the folder and reset the phone; notification still came up in the notification bar. Popup also still comes up on the screen.

Try to disable diagmonagent in package disabler it should do the trick.
This did not work for me.
I enabled all the packages. I then force stopped, cleared cache, and memory in application manager. I then disabled all three again and restarted.
The next day the popup returned.
In Titanium backup, simply open up both system update packages, freeze them then long press them each till you can select "open system details"
Once you open system details force stop and select notifications
set all notifications to off.
Once completed you can go into settings/ and select System updates, it should FC
Hope this helps.

Doesn't Titanium backup require root?

Yes. Maybe you can disable the same apps going to settings/application manager/ more -system apps/ system updates
As i have located them.
I think this is the fix! I have not received any update notifications since.
More comprehensive instructions?
G935V non-rooted (came from rooted) and I cannot get rid of the OTA notifications. I found and disabled securitylogagent and com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer but cannot find com.samsung.sdm Still get the notification, can disable temporarily by clearing cache of system updates through system app manager, but they return later. Did someone figure out how to disable update notifications, as they do annoy me! Thank you!
