Removed Aldiko and Fring yesterday, and while playing Solitaire this morning they reinstalled themselves. Anyone ever seen this happen?
Are you using root unistaller?

No, SystemApp Remover.
Just added Root Uninstaller and going to see how that works. On install of Root Uninstaller from Market, the two apps reinstalled themselves, so hoping uninstall via Root Uninstaller will solve the issue. it's almost like it's resyncing the programs against something.
there is /system/etc/install_apk.sh script that runs every time when tablet is starting. And if Aldiko or Fring absent -> install them
Delete script and these apps never come again)
And by this script not running it won't create an issue?
I just removed two of the three install checks in there and it's all good now. I left the adobe reader check which is required in my eyes.

Last night I downloaded an app from the market: Anttek App Manager. I didn't really need it, I just came across it & it seemed like a good program that I could use to replace a couple of other apps.
I opened up the program & didn't do anything. I did grant it superuser permissions when it opened, but did nothing else except browse through & get a feel for the interface.
Suddenly I was having a force close party all over the screen. Market, maps, settings, homescreen, anything system was force closing. I tried opening settings to uninstall the app but it force closed immediately. Tried with Market, same result. I could get into user apps to uninstall but when it tried to uninstall through the system uninstaller it would force close. I finally uninstalled through Titanium Backup. I was still getting force closes so I rebooted. After the reboot I could open system apps again. I checked my apps in settings & the app was gone from he downloaded tab but remained under the all tab. I uninstalled again. I checked through root explorer & it wasn't there, but in protected apps there was a downloadfile.apk that was timestamped with when I rebooted. I emailed it to myself to check out later if needed & deleted the file.
What do you guys think? Was it just something buggy that I'm blowing out of proportion or is it something to worry about?
Edit: I'm running cyanogenmod 6.1.2 if it matters.
I honestly dont know if it was something malicious or not. I had an issue when I downloaded an app (Don't remember what it was) and it downloaded 300+ downloadfile.apk. As you probably guessed it filled up my sd card. In my case I found it prudent to do a complete wipe and reflash my ROM. I set everything back up and havent had any more issues.
I would probably wipe and start over or Nandroid back to before you downloaded the app. Just my opinion...
Yeah, I think I'm just going to restore from a backup. I just don't want to have to reflash my theme & font, but it doesn't take that long, I'm just lazy.
I was wondering if there's anyway a virus could go deeper than what is changed by wiping/flashing/restoring? I'm somewhat technologically literate but when it comes to the deep down stuff I'm lost.
Hi friends.
Can someone please help me, I am having a doubt from so many days regarding android uninstall
When you are installing the app it is taking some time but for uninstall it is not taking even seconds, my doubt is that, is it removing all the relevant files from the root or its just removing the executable files. i have installed and uninstalled apps on my device, after uninstalling i did not see any performance, currently i dont have additional apps on my device but still it is taking time to launch the contacts why? if contacts are already open then the second time it is opening immediately but very first time it is lagging why? what was the root cause? galaxy note 2 having 2gb ram but i am not feeling so. Please hel[ me
I think on installing apps it need to unzip the app files first. Whereas on uninstall it is only deleting. Also just becaue it says ok on uninstall it dobt mean it is still deleting stuff on background.
I kbow what you are worried about. It is like windows that once you install and uninstall enough programs it leave behind a lot of rubbish on disk. There isnt much you csn do about that if the programer are lazy on doing uninstall correctly.
Nevertheless I believe that a factory reset or a reflash a rom is same as a window format reinstall.

Use sdmaid app. It removes those files.
sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped..
The procedure I use is:
1. Force stop (if necessary)
2. Clear Data
3. Uninstall
That gets rid of most of the cruft. If there's anything left over after that a reboot usually gets rid of it. If not then use a utility like the aforementioned sdmaid or clean master will do the job.
It just drives me crazy to have apps auto update especially on expensive data. For some reason my stock market doesn't work anymore at all in my phone, I tried to install a fresh download of market but still wont help so I removed it permanently from system apps and the phone became free of the so many force-close errors I was getting with most apps and runs very smoothly. I usually get apps through apk downloader. Am using sdext2 for the installed apps. Is there anyway of disabling apps from automatically updating themselves but have internet access for social media apps?
Problem solved, I got a terminal command that does it perfectly.
mod you can delete this now
Hi to all.
This is a strange one…
I Root my T700 with KingRoot and everything was OK. Then I decided to factory reset my device in order to start from scratch (I’m quite obsessive, you know). I even edited build.prop to disable guest user. Everything keeping Knox at 0x0.
Everything went fine. Root was maintained and Busybox was still there after factory reset.
Prior to factory deleting I made a script to disable and clear the data of all the bloatware I found on my device (It’s a list f about 90 packages made with Package Disabler Pro when I didn´t have root).
So far so good…
So, after factory resetting I installed Super SU, ES File Explorer and Terminal Emulator (Everything with my WIFI OFF).
I ran the script via Terminal Emulator (after granting it root privileges) and thought I was happy enough.
Restarted my tablet several times and did a few things just to check and everything was ok.
Then I decided to turn on Wifi (It´s important to notice that I didn’t add my google account yet). Suddenly, after turning on wifi, Some of the disabled apps reappear in Apps Drawer (Google Play Books, Google News, and other google Stuff).
Then I checked again via Terminal Emulator and the list of disabled packages had changed a little bit (enabling these ones and disabling others as emergencylauncher).
I’m really lost here as thought this wasn´t possible. So, if you have a clue of what might be causing this please help!
Thanks in advance!
PS: Sorry for my English and the long story…
Make sure that you delete PreloadInstaller.apk in the system
/app directory. It automatically reinstalls the removed apps.

Thanks for your suggestion!
I just uninstalled those apps and everything is OK now.
Glad it worked. We show thanks here with a thumbs up instead of a post.

Thumbs up and a post explaining what I did.
Thanks!
When I uninstall stock installed apps (it doenst matter which app I uninstall) and then reboot some of my user apps are instantly crashing when I try to open them (Steam, Feedly, and a few others).
When I restore a TWRP backup everything works fine. Even if I uninstall a single system app the error occours.
Has anyone experienced this before?

The best way to uninstall stock apps is to use debloat. If you use anything else, I guess that may interfere with user apps, and that may be the cause. Just try to use debloat which is a magisk module that creates a terminal command that lets you uninstall systemlessly. If you have any questions, just reply!

How is that module called? Can you send me the name or so?

The module is called debloater. It's in the download section of magisk manager. You can sort it alphabetically to find it quickly. When you find it, install it, do a reboot and voila.
The module only works if you have a terminal app. If you use a lineageos based rom like I do, you can enable the app via developer options. If not, then no problem. Try to find any terminal emulator via google play. Thus, you can use it! :victory:
