Cannot reinstall preinstalled apps

Apps & Core Settings

Hello
I have a serious problem with my installation of IodeOs 6.4 on FP5 : I had toubles with Aurora (I saw another post about it). Since I also had troubles with the call app, and message app, I decided to uninstall and reinstall them with preinstalled apps (just rebooting). But they can be uninstalled, but not reinstall…

Then I saw a new beta version is coming, so I decided to unistall updater to install beta updater from github page. I hopped it could help : I could uninstall but not install anything…

It is maybe a matter of developper option : following some tutos and post about installing whatsapp on a custom rom, I changed some developper option, but I think I had reset them as they were

Would you please give me some help, since the main apps of my phone are no longer available…

Thanks !!

Hello

Thank you in advance for your help,

I eventually used adb to make a backup and reseted
But the backup failed…
I am going to study the best way to make a backup

Backup of what?
System?
With iode, you can only use seedvault

I tried to make a backup with adb
with this command : adb backup -apk -shared -all -f backup.ab

but it did not work as expected

I only realized it after the reset to factory

I would like to point out that even after the reset (and update to 5.6) I have troubles with preinstalled apps :

  • those that I did not install appear anyway in the apps list, and Magic Earth was installed by an update of offered by Aurora

  • I can not install the camera after the first boot, even with reboot

  • the message app does not recognize the other camera app (fossify camera)

Thanks again for your answers

Actually the problem is not that I cannot reinstall preinstalled apps (the camera in this case) but that other camera apps are not recognized by the message app, nor by any app that need to access a camera
Thanks again

I have the same problem with a fresh install of Iode. I removed the Messaging app and Carnet, but I could not reinstall them.

@picklerick1313 is it also on FP5 ?

9

Yes.

10

Maybe with need to wait for next release
I dont see any solution
Or, is there any way to install preinstalled apps (and make them recognize bu other apps) via ADB ?

11

I realize that I cannot install any app in the private space, even with spoof manager
I hope all these will be fixed with next release

Is there a solution for reinstalling preinstalled apps on an FP5. I cannot reinstall any preinstalled apps on FP5 with iode OS 7.1. Neither via the setting menue nor via f-droid store. Restarting the phone is not helping. F-droid seems to install the app (iode browser), but when finished just shows the install button again. Any solution?

Did you do the full reboot between uninstall and reinstall?

So Preinstalled Apps > delete app > REBOOT then Preinstalled Apps > install app > REBOOT?

14

Yes, I did try it multiple times and different combinations with or without install from f-droid. I did always reboot after a change.

Interestingly I can see the browser in setting/apps when I install from f-droid, but there is no way to start it. It also does not show up in thee the launcher.
