I have done the Market fix, am running TNT light 4.2 and when I try to find certain apps on the market either through the Market app or from Appbrain, I get either " No matches found" on Market or " the requested Item could not be found" on Appbrain. I am signed into both and am able to download some apps, but not others. I have done the fix using Titanium three times. I think I am missing something simple.
I never use the titanium fix. Just open up market, exit, go to settings > applications > system applications > Market clear cashe then force stop. Go to google services framework, clear data, force stop. exit out of settings. Open the market You should get an error when you open it up. Reboot your g tab. Allow it time to load and get an internet connection. You should have the full market. If you get an error again you may have to redo the steps. There have been times I have had to redo the steps two or three times. Follow the directions to the letter.
Thanks,
I did it without the Titanium fix and it works perfectly. Being new to the Droid world, this is very wierd compared to my WM days.
try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA
works everytime in my vegan5.1
sometimes, dont know why, i lose acess to all apps in market... i do that again and works all the time
Moved to general
I am pretty sure there is no such thing as 'full market' on the g-tablet. The fix, whether the titanium or regular fix gets you some apps. The mahimahi build.prop fix gets you even more apps (tv.com was always my standard.) But there are a bunch of apps that will not show... Firefox would be one for me. Now that the market is available on the web, all the apps are available, they just aren't available to be downloaded on g-tab.

Is there a documented way somewhere to, as an example, modify our build.prop file to look like a Galaxy Tab or Galaxy S phone? I have had a hell of a time side loading some apps that the market wont let me download normally (like Facebook) but that work fine on the tablet.
I think I have the market working fine for what I am "supposed" to be able to see and download (I can see TV.com as an app for example).
Would be nice though to just have access to everything and be able to choose what I want and if it doesn't work very well I can just uninstall it. Maybe that's wishful thinking, I don't know. Would love to be able to "spoof" my phone to be a Galaxy Tab, or S though and any help to that end would be greatly appreciated.
Can you please help me?
Since yesterday my Nexus S (i9023 - rooted but with stock room) start getting trouble running the Market.
first it started to become really slow and the images didn't loaded and now no images also but on my apps only 3 appear and the appear as if they are not installed.
Do you know if this could be some type of "virus" or an incompatibility with some other app?
Many thanks for your help.
Probably not a virus, just go to application settings and clear the market data
It worked.
Thanks!
Also, if you use Titanium Backup, and longclick an application, there's an attach to market feature you could always try. (or detatch if u don't want the pesky updates).
I have a (4GB) Tronsmart TS7 (some times known as a Alps Glacier TS7). It's a Chinese MTK6589 based phone running Android 4.2 purchased from geekbuying.
For the most part the device is stock, there are next to no pre-installed apps apart from the usual, and the only additional apps I have installed are: Playstation, Steam, ColorNote, Shuttle+, Root Explorer DI Radio, Chrome & Gmail
The problem I have is that there are apps appearing on the device that I am not installing. So far it has been the same set of apps that appear:
Mobo Market
UC Browser
TrustGo Security
DU Battery Saver
337 Game Master
GameCenter
(there may be more)
These apps don't start appearing right after a factory reset, but start to arrive 1-2weeks later. They also seem to be packaged similarly; when I say packaged I mean opening them seems to prompt with the same menu & style (accept licence etc) before it gets to the main app. Also, after you open the app from the app drawer it then creates an icon on the desktop. Maybe opening it actually does the installing?
The apps themselves seem to be legit.
I have factory reset the device (twice), and changed my Google password but they are still appearing. They don't show up in my Play store history so they must be coming from elsewhere.
My main concern is that if it is downloading things without my permission, what might it be uploading ? Not to mention wasting my 3g data etc.
So I have a few questions:
Should I be (really) worried?
Is there a way to monitor this? eg connect to a wifi hotspot and packet capture the network traffic? or maybe use a process monitor (the ones I've tried so far haven't shown anything) to see if there is some sort of script in the background?
Can it be stopped?
Thanks in advance, I would be interested to know if anyone else has/had this problem?
I have the same problem.
I haven't tried flashing some other ROM yet, but I guess that is the only way to get it to stop installing those things.
Have you actually found any other roms to install?
For anybody's information:
You may have noticed how you always end up with a 'Tronsmart.mp4' video file appearing in your gallery app. This is damn annoying since it appears twice, once on the internal and once on the external SD card. There is an '\system\app\CopyTest.apk' file which creates both of these. Should be safe to delete it and thus prevent the file(s) appearing
I have actually decompiled this apk. It works as a service that runs when MEDIA_UNMOUNTED or MEDIA_MOUNTED is invoked, and does absolutely nothing else.
I have the same problem, those random apps installing and the video always in my gallery. I have managed to stop tge apps by using a firewall and allowing only my apps that i want to use the internet. I havent found a solution though to fix the problem. Probably tronsmart is spamming its customers...

What Firewall did you use? I might be able to use something like that to pinpoint the app that's causing this.
Sory for the late reply. I am usin "android firewall" free from google play store.
USB debugging disabled stopped it on mine
edit: not that easy, wasn't enough. made some cleanup by disabing/removing some system apps. seems to work so far although there are still some strange events like superuser crashing and right after that system downloader.apk reappearing. haven't seen any other junk coming back
these are the apk's i removed:

Dear Sir/Madame,
I am having a few issues with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P5113) and I believe they may be related to apps installing themselves onto my tablet as system apps. I first started to have a problem with my music players – they will play fine until the screen times out then they stop playing until the screen is taken out of saver mode.
Another problem is that I am constantly getting a message that the system update has failed and I cannot update my tablet because I get a message saying my tablet has been modified. Finally, I am noticing that there are several apps that must be stored on my tablet as system apps – one is called sexy wallpaper, another is magic eye and I do not remember the name of the others but they just pop up even when my wi-fi is turned off.
I have tried to do a factory reset and a manual reset of the tablet to remove any apps but after the resets the wallpaper pops up again and the message of system update has failed appears. I have to believe all of the problems are related to the wallpaper app and/or the other apps that have forced themselves onto my tablet.
The other problem with my music players stopping when the display goes into saver began all of a sudden and I have had to change my display to timeout after 30 minutes so that I can listen to music on the tablet. It is not the worst option but it is a huge drain on my battery to keep the display on if I want to listen to music.
After I do a factory reset or a manual reset of the tablet, when setting up my device I have skipped the option of setting up the wi-fi but these apps show up as system apps. I move them to the trash bin immediately and it takes them a while to disappear from the apps or widget screen. I usually have to click on them after I have moved them to the trash bin to get them off the screen.
Also, I get the message that the system update has failed immediately after setting up the tablet following a reset.
I downloaded the firmware and the latest ODIN to do a flash stock ROM but I did not want to do anything until I knew that would be the best next step. Any assistance with these problems will be greatly appreciated.
The first answer to your problem is that happens when you are using a custom rom or kernel or on power saver mode, they set the cpu frequency to get low when the screen gets locked. so, when the screen goes off your cpu starts running on low frequency which is not enough to run music player seamlessly but good enough to save your battery.
Second msg is there because you have enabled root, congrats buddy. :good: so you won't be needing any more system updates from samsung now xda is your official update zone. the system files have been modified and thus system can't officially update.
Un-root is an option but since you are getting random apps installed on your pc, then it might be infected and staying on root is better since you can delete those apps causing you trouble. there are many ways to delete those apps even the samsung update app. You can get rid of. search for system app uninstallers.
or
Yes you can try the odin mode and flash stock rom, it will format and install with default. it's safe and will solve your problems.
I
would suggest you learn more from here, going back to stock and waiting for an official update which will never come out from samsung, xda is a great place to learn. best of luck
Billysam,
Thank you for your reply. So how did it get rooted because I did not do that? The wallpaper app that pops up was not installed on the tablet by me it just started to pop up like a virus. I had installed apps from aptoide (chess, dominoes, holdem poker, etc.) and there are pop up ads that will randomly show up when playing those games. However, I have not tried to modify the tablet in any other way since I got it a few years ago.
The only reason I even did the factory resets was to get rid of the pop up from the wall paper and several other apps that were constantly trying to install on the tablet. Because I do not have the unknown sources box ticked so that I have to verify and approve non-google apps that is the only reason the apps were not installing. However, even with the security protections that I mentioned turned on the apps began installing themselves so that is the only reason I tried to factory resets. I had already tried to do the system update before the reset and I was getting the message that my table had been modified so I started making the connection in my mind that the apps were being viewed as system apps.
I have no problem in going back to stock settings or even staying rooted is that is what has happened -- it is just that I did not root the tablet myself. Knowing that it has been rooted by these apps (or viruses possibly) is disconcerting to me -- I just hope the flash will actually remove them since your assessment has me alarmed. The table is not in power saving mode so if the rom or kernel has been customized again that would have been the result of these intruding apps. Currently, the app does not show but that is because I can send it to the trash and the Wi-Fi has been disabled. Once I enable the Wi-Fi the apps force their way back onto the tablet.
The "Unfortunately, System Update has stopped” message pops up all the time even with the Wi-Fi disabled. Of course that message started about the same time as the apps started installing themselves onto the tablet. I always had the automatic update setting on so I never paid attention to whether the tablet was updating. I just assumed Samsung was sending out updates whenever they were available. I guess, in hindsight I do not actually remember seeing any updates being downloaded from Samsung so your statement about waiting endlessly is definitely correct.
So when you say the Odin mode will install with default do you mean that the tablet will go back to the original factory settings and it will allow for the update to work as normal? Or will it still be rooted and I will need to get any updates from this Xda website? Again, at this point I do not really have a preference either way I just want to know as much as I can before I take any actions.
Another curious observation is that I have not enabled Wi-Fi as I stated earlier and when I go to settings to look at the application manager the only app that it shows is the “Galaxy Tab 2 Screensaver” taking up 23.52MB of space but I don’t know if that is a system app or if it is part of the self-imposed sexy wallpaper app that I had to delete. I ask because all the other system apps do not show up in the app manager under the settings – for instance alarm, amazon kindle, paper artist, playbooks, music player, YouTube, Polaris Office, etc. The Screensaver is of course one of the apps but none of the other 60 apps are listed in the application manager only the “Galaxy Tab2 Screensaver” – I did not notice if this Galaxy Screensaver was already there since I never change the screensaver settings on my tablets. When I compare this to the way the application manager looks on my 7” (GT-P3113) the 7” has all of the apps listed in the application manager.
Also, when I compare the Android Version (4.2.2), Kernel Version (3.0.31-1978026, [email protected]#1, Tue Nov 19 18:37:42 KST 2013) and Build number (JDQ39.P5113UEUCMK3) they are virtually the same. The only difference is the 7” has slightly different Kernel Version (09#1) and Build number (P3113) so I am confused by the initial statement of a custom kernel possibility or modification of the tablet except that the self-imposed app(s) make the tablet appear to be rooted or modified? Does that make any sense? I am not a tablet guy by any stretch of the imagination but I have had to troubleshoot many a laptop plus I have had more than a few Coby tablets that all tapped out of life at some point. The Samsung tablets were actually replacements for those Coby tablets (may they R.I.P.) – in short I am still very confused. Where can I get further help in understanding not the steps to flash the rom but an understanding of what that actually does?

So you haven't flashed anything or tried to root. so you're clean in that manner. But Aptoide seems to be the culprit here.
"Aptoide Anti-Malware platform analyses applications in run-time and disables potential threats across all stores."
So, basically aptoide allows pirated apps, they could even give you access to the malware and viruses and not even let you know about it. So, even if you're installing a safe app like a game which is also available on the google play store(which is the safest place until now) malicious codes could be added to them over aptoide.

What a factory reset does?
It removes all USER DATA and restores the device back to factory settings providing that the device is not rooted. User data is defined as apps, call logs, contacts, and anything else the user has placed in the devices memory. Stuff that is on the SDCARD is not affected by a factory reset. A factory reset really only deals with the Data and the Cache partitions.
So, if your system is modified and you're not on a custom recovery(you get through flashing with odin). it will only delete data and cache, system apps will stay as it is. i.e system files modified in your case.
Unknown sources box doesn't help much either and verifying non-google app won't work since aptoide has already the permissions to allow.(that is how you could even get a pirated app installed through aptoide in the first place. makes sense? then the malicious apps also gets way in and use scripts to get into root)

Yes, it's not a power saving mode, and kernel isn't modified either and no, this is not a root induced by you, but it's malicious activity, so don't stay like that.
Flashing stock firmware through odin
wipes/format system,
boot/kernel,
cache,
hidden partitions and rewrites them all like it came out of the box(except data on your external memory card.) It will leave no sign of any apps or hidden codes or any data that doesn't belongs to Samsung. So no root, completely the way you bought it the first time. no need of xda anymore and you can stay without it even making update possible to work. but then you're not getting any more updates from them. but xda here on xda have so much updates if you've seen already.

the reason the app stops, could be because bad, overwritten, conflicting data, or even in case when you're ram is pretty much choked up all apps could start misbehaving and stop responding.
simple test, try deleting system update app's data. in settings- app manager- all apps. if it's because bad data, it will sort things out.
any app under settings-app manager you find that has uninstall option ------ is not a system app.
the apps which you can only disable and can't uninstall ------- are the apps installed on your system partition.
So, don't be confused, focus, first clear data/cache of all the apps that you suspect or is getting stopped, then uninstall the apps which you can, get rid of aptoide, Galaxy Tab2 Screensaver. use google play store or amazon and install apps from them only, or sites which you can trust. if you want to disable samsung update, disable it as well, since it will never show any update anymore and won't be getting stopped.
See how it goes, if problem persists, then we will get over to flashing through odin
Billysam,
I got rid of the Aptoide apps when I tried to do the factory resets so they have been removed and as you say I guess the viruses were already embedded onto the tablet from using those games. Even with all of the Aptoide apps removed I am getting the update failure message and the wallpaper app (plus sometime others) are already on the tablet after the reset. I will look at the Odin flash and I saw the steps on Sammobile. I already downloaded the Odin and the firmware files that match the build of my tablet so I believe I am ready to proceed. Can you review the instructions I copied from the Sammobile website to ensure the steps are correct?
The Sammobile steps are as follows:
• Extract (unzip) the firmware file
• Download Odin v3.10.7
• Extract Odin ZIP file
• Open Odin v3.10.7
• Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
• Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
• Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
• Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
• Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

"Backup all your Important files before doing any troubleshooting"
Yes that's right.
Billysam,
I wanted to let you know that I was finally able to get back to this today and I followed your instructions on flashing the stock firmware through Odin. From what I can tell it worked just as you described – I was able to connect the Wi-Fi, then check the update and that update error did not appear. Additionally, the system loaded music player is working as it was prior to the problem and there has not been any wallpaper application trying to force itself onto my tablet.
I truly appreciate your assistance with everything. I may at some point in the future update my tablet to the latest android platform from the instructions contained within the XDA website. Especially, now that I know the caliber of expertise within the forums.
I believe from what you indicated that will require that I root the tablet to get to the most current android system but I am definitely going to take my time to fully research the steps required before I venture down that path. I will stay away from Aptoide as my app store from this point forward – I never had any problems with those apps previously – still I do not need the hassle since as you said they can be acquired from the Google store. Again, I truly appreciate your assistance.

Glad that you've achieved a new level of expertise yourself. welcome to the community and do spend some time here, there are tons of great stuffs here that will take your android device to heights that no official stock update can give. rooting and getting on a custom rom not exploits your device or is harmful if you truly understand and utilise the power that it gives in your hand. you can take control of your device yourself rather than stay in the hands of malicious app developers and forced sponsored bloatwares.
I, the original author of Prevent Running, now introduce Brevent.
In short, Prevent without Root. You can get it from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.piebridge.brevent or http://piebridge.me/br/, and source code: https://github.com/brevent/Brevent
There are several ways to prevent running for apps:
- Force-Stop, will set stopped state, no static broadcast, sinde Android 3.2, requires android.permission.FORCE_STOP_PACKAGES
-- can granted to privileged apps, /System/PrivApp
-- adb shell has it, Brevent can use
- App-Standby, since Android 6.0, requires android.permission.CHANGE_APP_IDLE_STATE
-- only granted to Framewok apps having the same singature with framework.apk
-- adb shell has it, Brevent can use
So as you can see, Brevent working on the adb shell, having the shell permission, and can do a lot of things.
Furthermore, Brevent use directy android hide methods, instead using dumpsys, am, cmd and so, more effective.
However, there is one restriction, as the permissions cannot be granted to apps, so Brevent requires you run the adb after every boot.
But, Brevent requires no-reboot to undate Brevent Server. And phone should be use, not for reboot.
Executing on everyreboot not good enough cos not with computer everytime. u can create something like Airfrozen. Similar function but with root
Hi, If I'm rooted, should I keep Prevent running 2.3.2 or is Brevent better?
Brevent not working
I execute the ADB command and it worked very briefly, but now it continuously says the server is not running. I try re-executing the ADB command, which says the server has started, but the app doesn't recognize it and still shows server not responding. Sometimes it will work and I'll start to mark apps to freeze, but then while doing that the "server not responding" message pops up again. Any ideas why?
Works great on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge running Android 7.0!
*The only drawback is you have to go through ADB to enable it everytime you restart the phone.
Great app, but I have a problem. Play Store doesn't install any app, but when I restart the phone, it does. I suppose that an update of these app, it stop running a Google service.
What happened to the root version?

If you have rooted, it's possible. And Brevent now supoort root mode as experimental feature.
If you have no root, it's not possible.
And there is some way like device administrator to gain some permission.
However, there is only a device administrator. And device administrator has no the permissions to standby / force-stop other apps.

Root version is the same with adb version, it can only avoid adb.
However, there are some issues on root version due to selinux and other issues.
For example, some rooted devices cannot dumpsys, which is required by Brevent.
If you have rooted, you can try root version.
And if it doesn't work, just create an issues on github: https://github.com/brevent/Brevent

You *may* brevent some apps shouldn't be brevented, like packageinstaller or defcontainer.
I suggest you don't brevent system / framework apps if you're unsure.
For myself, I have brevented play store, and can install apps, and the play store can get update.

If you can use Prevent running 2.3.2, you probaly use Android 6.0-.
If you're tired of rooted / unlock / Xposed, you can try Brevent.
If you want to standby apps, you can try Brevent.
And IMO, Brevent is more intelligent:
1. back / home / recents list, both of them works well
2. standby, Brevent works greate.
3. UI. I think Brevent is nicer.
And please note, there are more users prefer Brevent to Prevent Running.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.piebridge.brevent&hl=en: less than 50,000 in one year, and no support.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.piebridge.forcestopgb&hl=en: more than 50,000 in short months.
There is no support from me for Prevent Running.
And, I'm sorry for old Prevent Running users, I shouldn't transfer it.

On my pixel, it cost more battery when brevented all system apps.
// I just to check whether it will crash when brevent all system apps.

Brevent only do simple things, force-stop / app-standby apps, nor other things. So, hold home to lock screen is not the things that Brevent should do.
Hi, I have another problem. I updated the phone software and I can't re-activate Brevent. I have this message. I have a S7 edge with Nougat stock.
EDIT: I fixed the problem. I didn't read the new command.

Previous command use /sdcard, in aosp, apps should have write permissions.
However, in some rom, Brevent has no permissions.
So I switch to "/data/data", and it's shorter.
Another question, Is possible contribuite to translate your app? I would like translate to spanish (if available)
i was under the impression it's generally not recommended to force quit apps and let Android handle them? i understand some apps misbehave, but over time would force quitting be bad?
