[Q] CSC (virus?) app after installing avast - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys, so I installed avast anti virus and from within avast I was browsing installed apps and came across an app called CSC (version 1.0). Now I am not sure what this is but looking at this apps permissions got me worried because it basically has every permission available. I am attaching a few screenshots. So has anyone experienced this?
Edit: this is on galaxy note with the latest rooted official update (obtained from xda)

I think csc is ur phones main app. It stands for country specific code.

[Q] How to fix Chinese Samsung Galaxy

Hello,
I'm the owner of a Samsung GT-I8250 phone. This phone has been specially made for the chinese market. I found the phone on the streets I managed to get it on english language so I could use it.
Things like google play are not installed and i'm not able to use it (I can install it but it's not working). I am able to install apps using wondershare mobilego, however many apps are not working or behaving strange. My guess is that there are some chinese blockers or something on this phone.
Is it possible to re-install a fresh android installation on this phone? Guess I need to root the phone for this, I already found to do this with a program called ZhuoDashi, but I'm not sure if there's a android version available for this phone that I can use.
Anyone have some advice about this?
Greets, Sander

[Q] S3 issues for simpleton! adblock?, stay rooted?

hi there.
having only had a skim through a few of the samsung s3 developer pages i realise in severely out of my depth here, so please take it easy with me
i have just bought a samsung galaxy s3 and it has been rooted. neatrom v8.2, android 4.3.
i went for the rooted option because i was led to believe that it would then be possible to use something like adblock or ublock [popup blocker] as i use on my laptop. i watch football on a streaming site so adblock [of some kind] is kind of essential.
it came with an adblock app installed but it didnt do the job, and i have since tried a couple of others and neither seemed satisfactory.
so what i need to know is;
1, is it possible to get an adblock type of app [google play store] that will do the job required.
if its not going to be possible to use an ablock popup blocker then will i really need or be able to utilize the functions of the rooted phone. should i just go back to a standard install.
so, my next question is;
2, if i wanted to go back to the original OS is this just a straightforward factory reset, as in accounts>backup and reset>factory data reset>
any help is greatly appreciated.

Google play has stopped support for all adblockers as most the the available (free) apps are advertising based Install FDROID (market) on your phone and then install "AdAway" using FDROID.
You should avoid a gactory reset when you're running a custom rom and not familiar with flashing your phone.
For get it back to stock you can download the original Samsung firmware from SamMobile
If you like to use stock Samsung OS, you can also root it easily.

many thanks... :good:
i have just installed fdroid, then from there installed adaway, opened and updated it, so running. i will check it out on a streaming site and see if it does what it says on the tin.
if it works fine then maybe the root will stay.
if not, then what is the issue with going for the factory reset. will it melt the phone?
im a little confused with the last bit, please type sloowwwweeerrr
i can get the samsung firmware [is that the operating system] from sam mobile [as in your link].
are you then saying you can then root the phone to use the samsung firmware, but it will still use fdroid and adaway.
this would have to be super basic for me to even attempt it...

You can install the stock Samsung firmware, root the device and install any apps you like. Adblocker for android are doing best with in app advertising. Most websites are spam free, too. If you need a really ad free browser you can try Firefox as it supports plugins and you can install the good old "AdBlockPlus" just like its used in your computer browser.
BTW
If you factory reset a custom rom, you wil probably just have the rom itself, not even google services or play store. As for a custom setup you "pick" all the parts you need/want and install it together using a custom recovery.

its not really the browser or apps that im so worried about blocking ads from, its when im watching football on a streaming site, the amount of popups for gambling an sexy lady that also try to inflict virus warfare onto you is just unreal.
i will see if the adaway will do its job. if not then maybe i need to consider other options.
thanks again. im sure i will be back for some more parental guidance :highfive:
i now have found out that every time i turn off the phone the message centre number restores to default [not my network] so unless i re-enter the number every time i turn on im unable to send a text message.
o2 are unable to fix it because it seems the root has control of the default functions and settings.

[Q] Stock ROM with built-in virus?

Hi All,
I've recently bought a H60-L02 terminal. But I'm having some problems, since the antivirus application is detecting a virus in the twitter application which comes preinstalled and cannot be uninstalled.
The app cannot be updated from Play Store, since there is an error about the provider authority already exists....
The exact version which is coming with the phone is:
H60-L02V100R001CHNC00B1116SP02 (with EMUI 2.3)
Has anyone faced this problem? Should I try to root the phone and eliminate the app, or should it be better just to upgrade the ROM to a newer one?

Android sign app as system app

Hello, I have a question, I already read like 20 Threads on here and still haven't found a solution.
I have developed an android application that only gets installed on selected devices (for example the Google Nexus Player (fugu)). The app relies on root permissions, currently I am using a rooted device with su, but I want to build it properly. I don't want to publish the app in the playstore, but is it possible to sign the application as a System Application with sharedid="uid.system" ? If so , how can I do that ?
Regards

compatibility problem

Dear,
I have a problem installing an application on my new Huawei Mate 10 lite. I installed the open, but on opening it says the device modal is not compatible. Is there a way I can have the application running on my device? the application is a dictionary and I am in a dire need of it, for I use it for my studies. I would appreciate any help that would get the app running. Thank you

You're trying to install it from Google play or from an APK file ?
I installed it as an APK file. It was working fine on my old Samsung Galaxy S5, as I had it downloaded from Galaxy App Store. The latter is presumably the only place where this application exists for free. I downloaded it from Galaxy App Store, installed it on galaxy s5 and shared the APK file by means of another sharing app. It installs, but it does not run. It says "device modal not compatible".

Yes , that's a kind of " protection " for Samsung , I had the same problem with gear fit manager , an app from Samsung to make a smartwatch work . That was the only way to make it work but Samsung didn't allow to run this app on low-end Samsung devices and others devices.
Unfortunately , I can't do anything.
I believe that there should be a way to install it, since it is not an application that Samsung built. The only thing is that it is offered for free by Samsung. I can't find it any elsewhere, at least the same exact version that I am looking for, but on the Samsung app store. So, I tried to share it, but it never worked. I saw somewhere on this website how to install it, but requires the phone to be rooted.

Yes , it may be the case , because I think you have to fake your device name or something like that.
But I haven't the sufficient knowledge .
Maybe a longer search will be helpful , I hope you'll find the way to do this
