[Q] How do I uninstall an app - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey all,
I am running AOKP 36 and the Google+ app keeps crashing. In the Play store it prompts me to update, but it tells me there is an issue with the signature, and to uninstall the app first. Unfortunately I can't do that because the app came with the ROM.
Can someone help?

It's a system app, and thus can't be removed by conventional methods.
I assume you have Titanium Backup?
You can use it to uninstall.

"Not Supported" message
I'm having an issue with the Market (Google Play): About 70% of the apps I look at in the Market tell me "Your device isn't compatible with this item".
At first I thought it was a botched ROM flash (tuesday -new beggining) so I did a full wipe & reloaded the same ROM; same issue (about 90% of apps gave that error).
I recently loaded Paradox II (the 3/05 release) and did a full wipe as directed (flashed the wipe util's that were posted). Before restoring any of my apps I checked the market for the paid ones I use that were installed while on the rooted factory ROM (like MyBackup Pro) and got the same message. Some of the apps that "weren't supported" when on the Tuesday ROM were all the sudden supported & downloadable.
I had all apps backed up with MyBackup Pro and installed just the apps (no settings) using the BusyBox option. Every app worked just fine & market links restored but when going to market to update one of the installed & working apps, it'd say not compatible.
Thinking this was a market issue, I uninstalled the updates, cleared data/cache, and installed various versions of Market (including the new one) that were talked about in other threads about Market errors... did not fix it.
When going to the Market on my computer and looking at apps that are installed or were installed pre-custom ROM, it has my SGH-T989 grayed out. I checked build.prop and couldn't see anything with the device identification that looked wrong.
This is preventing a lot of my installed apps to not be able to be updated... Any ideas as to what is causing this? Did I fubar something when doing the first custom ROM flash?
Here are some of the major apps that are saying they are incompatible:
Adobe Flash Player
Astrid Task
Documents to Go
Dolphin Browser HD
DropBox
MyBackupPro
SuperUser

Is there a list of these files anywhere that you know of? I ran in to an issue a while back on my G2x when doing something similar to this after a failed theme flash.
Under system/app I have marketupdater.apk but nothing else...
/data/app. Mine is called com.android.vending

Update on this issue...
I cleared the cache/data for Play Store, uninstalled updates, turned off data, cleared cache/data for Market, went through and deleted all Market related apps/folders:
data/data/com.android.vending (folder)
data/data/com.android.vending.updater (folder)
data/app/com.android.vending.apk
system/app/MarketUpdater.apk
system/app/vending.apk
- I reinstalled the last version of Market that was posted on goo then let it update to Play Store. This resulted in more apps being "compatible" but still had quite a few coming up as "incompatible" (that I had installed & knew worked on the GS2). After further research I found a scenario on another Samsung phone that the lowering the LCD Density caused this same issue. After setting it back to 240 & reinstalling the Market again, the issue was resolved...
I would love to lower the density again but don't want to mess up the Market. Does anyone know of a tweak that will allow this (I'm thinking a build.prop mod)?

Play store causes phone to freeze

Since I have updated market to play store my phone keeps freezing. When I reboot I get 3 or 4 messages saying that ADW launcher is not responding which I select wait in the options. After about 30 seconds the screen freezes and I have to remove the battery. I have removed the update using manage applications but whenever I open market I am redirected to the play store website rather than the app. I am running the latest version of Cyanogenmod 7 for the desire. Has anyone else had this problem.
I've not heard of this problem before but if it is just the play store and not the ROM or anything else then you could download one of the versions of the old market which doesn't auto update to google play. i will find a link to an apk and post it here if i can.
I have tried uninstalling play store and restored market 3.4.4 using titanium backup. When I open it it immediately tried to update to Play store. I have also tried installing market 2.3.3 with titanium backup but when I open it it just redirects me to the play store website via the browser app.
Freeze "Market Updater" with Titanium Backup. That will prevent the Market (3.4.4) from auto-updating. It's a temporary fix until when you can figure out what the real issue is.

[Q] How to keep apps I've deleted from re-downloading.

I just updated to the Rt66 T999UVDMD5.
Everything went nice and dandy. I noticed in the Play store I had the option of uninstalling some TMO apps and Google Play apps.
So I did but when I restarted my phone, the apps I just uninstalled updated and installed again.
I know I can prevent auto-updates but how can I delete these apps permanently?
Can I assume to delete them via Root Explorer?
Yes or disable with Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox.

Hi, guys, the problem is the Amazon prime video app pre-installed in the phone, I've tried to install the new version of the app from Google play store but the app does not install, because there is a conflict between the two version of the app. So I've decided to uninstall the original app on the phone, I went on titanium backup and I've uninstalled the app. After I've reinstalled the new version of the app from the play store, but the app crash. There 's any other way to let it work?

Help uninstalling google dialer app on android 10 march update

Hey guys I have tried to remove the google phone app to install an older version but it seems impossible. I have tried using the app, Uninstall System Apps but it doesn't remove it. I have also tried to use Titanium Backup but no option comes up to convert it to a normal app so I can uninstall it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I have successfully got it uninstalled using the TOOL ALL IN ONE program (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3358711). However when I try to install a version that is earlier (v40) than the one that came with the march patch (v43) it just fails and says "[INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]". Is there a way to bypass this?
