[Q] How to clean up any traces of a installed app? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed MX Video Player 1.6e and was going to upgrade it to the latest version of the software. So I uninstall MX Video Player and when I tried to install the latest version of MX Video Player, it say "Out of Space".
I did some reading up and there is a few post about deleting the odex file under Android/App/Data. However, there isn't any odex file in that folder. I even tried deleting the who Data folder and it does not solve the issue. Anyone has any idea where I can go to clean up the install file for MX Video Player?

Just where is the Android/App/Data folder ? I can't seem to find it.
Try deleting the app via Titanium Backup and also check if you are really out of storage space ?

The full path is mnt/sdcard/android/app/data.
The app has already been deleted so it is not showing up in Titanium Backup. I have double check the storage space and I got a good 1.1gb of space left.
So not really sure what to do from this point. I know that I can install the latest version of MX Video Player if I do a full wipe but I rather avoid doing this if I can.

Same problem here. Just can't install titanium backup and poweramp..

Don't do it! Stick to 1.6e as later versions have the DTS codec removed which sucks donkey balls.

You can also just remove the .odex file for the app you patched. It will be in /data/app/nameofapk.odex

Try the app "SD Maid"
It cleans up the system and leftover files. Kind of CCleaner for Android.

SD maid doesn't help. Cleaned up my entire phone and still couldn't install Poweramp and titanium backup.
Wiped my data and performed a clean install of PA last night, and managed to install and update TB but Poweramp still doesn't install.
OP has the same problem as me, just different apps

Well, I'm kind of offtopic but actually I solved this problem just by uninstalling the codec app.

Well... i searched for that app in market but i couldn't find such app named "KAROGES"
Looks strange, but as you are root, you should kill the app+file+task.
Wouldn't be the first time there is malware in the market.

I ran into that problem today also.! Like Conqueror_1 had said, it is a link to a standard video player and it might be harmless... I'm not one to find out.! If your rooted you can delete it from your system... After using everything I could to un-install and could not find it (so irritating) I used my root explorer I found the app that linking us to that video thingy... it was in my system/app and it would be your videoplayer.apk... I just deleted the apk and rebooted my phone, now gone... I hope this helps.! ​
Step 1: Hit the "Report" button
Step 2: Delete it using Root Explorer/AntTek/Titanium
Step 3: There's no step 3

Believe me, I faced this problem before, this problem happens when you use the Lucky Patcher to remove license verification and if you fail data folder get the power amp odex file, just delete it and reinstall.
Works again
Had to delete the obex file
Now I have another question, because I'm running cyanmobile, is it possible to control power amp via the statuabar music control? I know it works, but it just says unknown - :what:unknown

Just had same problem, after upgrading from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 (and yes, I had Lucky Patcher involved). Nothing helped (clearing dalvic cache, neither I had any suggested files to delete). The only thing helped - clearing Play Market app data! Hope this might help to someone.

[Q] Quickpic as default gallery.

I just hate the default GB & CM7 gallery app as they take a lot of time to show up my pictures ( there are about 600 pictures on my sd ). That's why I decided to replace the default GB gallery app by quickpic. I renamed it to gallery3D, moved it to \system\app by replacing the original gallery & set permissions & rebooted. But quickpic on opening suddenly closes all by itself. Tried a fix permissions via recovery with no success. My question is, how do I get quickpic working ( as a system app & as an alternative to the original gallery ) ? What's causing it to close all by itself ? Is there any odex file of the gallery that causes this ?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
you have forgoten the lib fils
open the quickpic.apk withe winrar go to lib----->armeabi---->copie all file to system/lib of your rom its all your apps is completly integrated in your rom
Instal quickpic apk separately and then from titanium backup convert it into system app n then delete the previous gallery app. pls hit thnx if helpd.

Some apps like camera and quickpic use lib files to function. The lib files have a set of instructions that are common to the corresponding app. So having a lib file makes it easy so you dont have to re write them again and again.

Sure! I think is the best gallery app
Why does it have to be a system app? Just install Quickpic and use TB to uninstall default gallery. That's it. Even if you don't uninstall default gallery, the OS will ask you which app to use by default.

Samsung gallery app problem. How to make Quick Pic app as the default instead
Dear All, Samsung users.
I have been having serious problems with Samsung S4 gallery App. The App just does not work anymore, as it keeps on freezing etc. I have resetted my phone several times and did it hard reset and the same problem occurs.
After several hours of research, I was told to use Quckpic app, which as a standalone is brilliant, but can anyone please give me a step-by step guide to make QuickPic as the default app to work with my S4 camera app, and also how do you delete the standard gallery App from the S4.
Kind regards

i use RemICS-JB[v6] and latest mackay kernel! u tried another rom but same problem tried to clear cache and data but nothing!
is it a system app? if so use "root explore" goto system/app then click on the YouTube.apk and select "reinstall" see if that fixes it.
So is the youtube app just force closing or is the video saying error?
Also have you tried fixing permissions and clear cache at the same time? I would also suggest trying out the root explorer method but only if its a system app.
