Ad downloads to my phone itself.

Hi.
I've got a little problem with ads on my android. About two days ago I saw an advert in my gallery (WTF!?!?). It was in data/com.admarvel.android.admarvelcachedads/ads/c22102 dir on my phone memory. Always when i delete it, the ad downloads to my phone's memory even if i dont do anything on my device. I checked on my app list and i dont have any thing like admarvel etc. Im wondering if it's a virus or something like that.
Does anyone know how to get a rid of that thing?

Hmm download #root unstaller
And look for the app and then delete it

Well, my phone is not rooted. I had a lite'ning rom (root included) installed on it but i flashed it with stock firmware. is it possible that official firmware (downloaded form samfirmware.com) had this ad in it? If i really have to root my phone can you tell me if there is a way to root it without flashing? I've got a galaxy s2.

OK, I downloaded the Root Uninstaller on my unrooted pohne... i cannot find anything that could be the "ad downloader" ;/ Do you have any ideas or someone had this problem before ?

Hmm do you have task manager??
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

Yeah. Galaxy S2 has it build in. BTW. nothing in there ;(
EDIT: Does the factory reset remove all of my apps and their data?
EDIT2: OK it does.

Factory was the last step i dont like a reset for something like that

If factory reset is the last step, is there still something else that you can think of before the last one xd?? Honestly, im wouldnt be so happy to do that (but if its the last hope xD...).

Looking in task manager/ sending me screens of all installed apps

Do you have an Opera web browser installed on your phone? Apparently they don't want me to post a link because I just registered on this website, but the article says Opera has acquired Admarvel. I have this browser installed on my phone and also have ads downloading in /data/com.admarvel/ads into folders with names such as c26417 and c26419.

I was wrong. It is Shazam that puts those ads there.

Wifi tweak on the X10. (Moved to development)

Hey guys I got a tweak from wolfs Rom working on my x10 that increases the signal greatly. Watch the how to video here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy0r-o1Bh9Q&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I now have over a 10000 kbps connection just like his in the video. Pretty cool.
First step unzip the file in your sd card then open the file via root explorer
Next go into system/etc/init.d and copy the modules script using root explorer.
Next go to your system on the actual phone (not the sd card) then go.to etc then find the folder called init.d. (if you dont have it flash this via recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236446
Then place modules in the init folder.
Next go back to your sd card where the 4.0.4 thing is and go into system*etc and copy the entire. Install sh recovery folder then go back to the actual phone and go to.system/etc and just paste it there and select yes if it asks u to overwrite something.
Finally find the install recovery thing
you just copied and click it once and press execute.
Then your done.
How to test if it worked. Before u do the tweak download speed test from the market and test your current wifi speed. After tweak test it again. Note it may require a reboot.
Get it here. http://www.datafilehost.com/get.php?file=a18d42a6

Works on my x10. I got a wireless g signal and used to get 1509. Now I get 5000 on speed test.

Got it working on my x10. Thanks . Here are screenshots to prove it works. I was in the same spot before the tweak and with the tweak.

you do realize that overwriting install-recovery.sh will overwrite any other init.d scripts the person might have and also any tweaks put in there by the dev (if you are using it on any other rom than wolfbreaks)?
You shouldn't be advising people to do stuff like this without at least warning them about what they're doing.

Suggestion for New ICS Rom Dev

Hello all, now that ICS update is coming out for our little Blaze, I'm sure there will be lots of devs. I'm not sure how the Memory is setup on the ICS Rom, but the current GB on our Blaze has a very limited "Internal SD Memory" (Around 1.3gig, I believe) to install apps. Might I make a suggestion to the devs to include script manager tweaks in the upcoming ICS Roms so that default storage for apps be pointed to the "External SD" where we have more memory? Thanks!

Can't you do that in the market? if not you just go to manage apps and move them from there

Absolutely can be done via app from market and also manage apps. Apps2sd is in the market and worked well.

Apps in the market do not move data.that's what we want. Gta takes up one gig alone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using xda app-developers app

I know what you guys are talking about. But what I meant is if I was to download a large game that is over 1.4 gigs, it wont have enough memory to save on the "Internal SD". What you mentioned only works if you already have the apps downloaded.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app

I used an app about a year ago called s2e . I can't be 100% sure but it moved app and data to external. I came from a G1 which had no internal memory . that phone was great but limited on space . if its not available there might be a similar app. good luck

I'll make sure it gets attention from the TFQ team. I can do it easily but I'd have to wipe both partitions to guarantee that no side effects happen.

I'd be happy with that. As it is easy to back them up via PC anyways. Plus with the move to ICS, I plan of completely starting form scratch and re-installing all apps from source, no backups short of the ones that are not available anymore.

Could DirectoryBind work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

When we get source, we can rewrite the package manager to point to sdcard instead of mmc then you won't have to worry about an app and/or doing it manually...

Out of space?

When I try to install an apk it says I'm out of space. I still have 3.7gb left there. However I was able to install an app from play store this morning!

Sounds silly, but did you reboot?

Go into data/app if there is any file related to the one you're trying to install delete it. That file maybe an apk or an odex file. You need to find it and delete it.

Did reboot. Still the same. And I couldn't find any file related to the app in system/app. I had this issue even on stock GB. I couldn't install anything after I reached 1gb. I also moved many apps to SD. But for no good

[Q] help me. galaxy tab 2 7.0 gt-3113

OK I was flashing the paranoid android ROM a few months back on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 3113 and I lost half of my compacity I am the type of person who downloads watches lots of movies and listen to alot music I would really like to have it back. any suggestions on how to fix it please hey buddy help anyone okay

Have you been making nandroid back ups ? How much is under "Misc" ? Looks around 700mb ? ( but the yellow maker is covering it up ):laugh:
Looks to me you need to do some house keeping to tidy up the storage space, easy enough to do.
What recovery are you using on the device ?

you've got OVER 2 gigs of app data folders on the internal there, open your file browser and look for folders of apps you've deleted and delete them, also remember YOU HAVE A MICROSD SLOT, you can add more storage for music and movies.
do any of your streaming apps keep a large "buffer", could try clearing app data.

that doesnt explain why my 8gig tab 2 only has 4gigs usable

Its the system partition that eats up the rest, as far as I know. That is why only just under
5 gigs is available. The settings menu doesn't count the system partition as usable space.

That's just the way it is. Kind of like when you insert a 32gb micro sd card you automatically lose nearly 4gb down to 29.7gb.
If you've been making backups chances are the cwm folder has a nice size file well over 1gb

I don't think trays how it works when I frost got it I believe the system file was around .5 to 1 gig maybe
So I doubt I would lose 4 almost 5 gigs from it
And I have and 8 gig microSD card now but I would love that 4 gigs back thats 3 movies...

Also I deleted a bunch a system files that no one ever needs so I have more free space
but damn I need it all back

Rooting has basically nothing whatsoever to do with the problem. Why does everyone think that just cause u rooted ur phone/ tablet now becomes mentally retarded?
I would look around in the system files. I had the same problem, there was this file idk how the hell got there and was like 4 gigs. Just try to locate the file and delete it.

Pretty sure you can go to a folder browser then couldn't u sort all them by size by bigger sizes descending. So what i mean is the biggest files would show up on top. Then you could look around and see if one of the bigger files is not needed.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970961 here is another thread talking about pretty much the same thing. I agree with one of the posters, about just swapping the storage with the external sd card. I haven't personally had great luck with android 4.2.x, but there is a great script for p311x on xda that swaps them on ics and jb 4.1.x just fine. Its what I use, and also why im not running anything past 4.1.2.
