Uninstalled lookout with titanium backup

[Haley]

Hello everyone, hopefully you can help me out with this issue I'm having..

Upon being unable to uninstall lookout, I failed to read about how you need to go into locations & security ->select device admins -> and remove lookout there in order to uninstall.

So I went ahead and uninstalled using titanium backup.
Now, I'm left with the square blue icon with the settings logo in the middle, and when I click it it says "This application is not installed"
When I try to uninstall it again, it says "Uninstall unsuccessful"

SO my question is how do I get rid of this ugly unusable icon?
Any help is appreciated
Thank you

Try reinstall it and then uninstall it

I can't reinstall since it is already "installed"

If so then try remove the icon from your home screen by long press the unusable icon and drag it to trash. Try uninstall it from setting/ application/ manage application look for lookout app long press it then uninstall.

From the home screen on your device, go to Menu > Settings > Location & Security Settings, scroll down to Select Device Administrators (select), then uncheck Lookout as a Device Administrator, this will take you to a new screen, at the bottom of the screen select Deactivate, and then Ok.

Dragging to the trashcan does nothing. Lookout doesn't even appear in device administators or manage applications.

Sorry to hear that, I have the droid razr and I was able to uninstall it just fine, what kink of phone do you have?, have you try to contact the developer they may be able to give you more clear direction base on the type of phone you have.

In order to uninstall Lookout after you have granted it device admin status...

1) From the home screen on your device, go to Menu > Settings > Location & Security Settings, scroll down to Select Device Administrators (select), then uncheck Lookout as a Device Administrator, this will take you to a new screen, at the bottom of the screen select Deactivate, and then Ok.

2) Once you have completed the above steps, you will be able to delete our app the same way you would normally delete any other app - settings > applications > manage applications > lookout > uninstall.

The problem is due to uninstalling the app using titanium backup, not due to my phone model

Don't mean to dig into your personal devices, but just want to suggest that different phone or device do work differently. base on your particular device, uninstall any apps may vary. your best bet is to contact the developer of the apps as i included in the other reply.
Thanks and good luck!
