So I installed Avast Anti-theft (non-root version) by mistake and only got as far as setting up the pin before I realized I actually needed the rooted version for my rooted Droid Maxx. I went back to the Play Store and uninstalled the app, then I tried installing Avast Anti-theft (rooted version). The version for rooted phones installed from the Play Store, but when I open the rooted version from the Play Store and I am at the setup screen it tells me: “The following problems need to be solved before avast! Anti-Theft can be installed.” “Installation problem: This device is already protected. Uninstall avast! Anti-Theft before installing this version”
When I had initially started to set up the non-root version, I had changed the name of the app to ‘avast! Anti-Virus.’ I went into my app manager and found the app name that I had changed it to (avast! Anti-Virus) and it does not give me option to uninstall, only DISABLE…so I ‘Force Stopped’ it and then disabled it.
I still am unable to install rooted version of this program, it keeps telling me I need to uninstall the other version in order to proceed. Clearly, I need a more thorough, manual way to uninstall this program.
YES MY PHONE IS ACTUALLY ROOTED
I am running CM11 with TWRP on a Verizon Motorola Droid Maxx (xt1080m)
Thanks in advance for the help.
FIX
I re-enabled ‘avast! Anti-Virus’ (the name that I changed app to via setup the first time), rebooted and then used Titanium Backup to uninstall the app.
