The following post and file are no longer required now that Adfree has been fixed.. Thread will be closed: - Dz
This is a patched version of Adfree for those Roms which experience issues with Adfree failing to work. To quote, Adfree says: "This copy of AdFree is too old, please update to a newer version."
But of course there is no new version, as the version is the latest from the market..
Anyway, installing the patch should make it work..
If a dev of BigTanCan.com has an issue with me posting this, let me know and I'll close the thread and remove the file..
Well, *kinda* works- instead of "this application is out of date" it shows just "out of date".
Patched version was installed manually after uninstalling of original version (no reboot between, Desire running Redux 1.2)

Well, that's true. The point is that earlier, the app used to display "out of date" and just terminate. But the patch will force it to skip the abort code, after displaying "out of date". So it will still continue to work..

Confirmed. Installed it, showed "out of date" and then "no need to update" window. Works.
First I installed the Zip without deleting Adfree so I couldnt acces it and It didn't work. I am using cwm 2.1.5.8 from Alpharev. Am I doing wrong ?
Thanks anyway.
Wow.. You really have your name right!!
It's not a flashable zip! the apk is inside it!

Lmao. Thats why there is nothing written when I install the Zip. Haha

Ah.. I'd written to the dev yesterday, but didnt expect him to respond that fast..
Well, issue solved!
Hi there everyone,
Here is a solution, confirmed by Google Play Support, and does not require your phone to be rooted for solving this issue.
1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
2. Go to "All"
3. Scroll down to "Google Play Store" and tap to select it.
4. Click on 'Force Close'
5. Click on 'Clear Data'
6. Click on 'Uninstall Updates'
7. now it is safe to click on 'continue' when u open the market..so go ahead.
8 Enjoy Installing/Updating your desired apps.
============================
Hit THANKS if this helped. :good:
I have the same problem too and I just revert the play store back to ver 3.5.19 and this solved the problem....at least for now but I don't know will the problem come back again next time...will keep an eye on it...previously using play store ver 3.7.11
Thank you..i'll try to follow your solution and see if it works for me too..

Here is what I did. I went to: phone settings> Applications> Manage Applications> All tab> clicked on gPlay Store> force stop> clear data> uninstall update> clear data.
Then, I installed gPlay 3.5.19..still it didn't work (this one didb;t even start to download at all). lol
Worst of all, everytime i run it..google is prompting to update it..and i cant bypass that stupid update..dafuq?!! =="
What should I do? aaarrgh!! @[email protected]
I had this problem. I installed the rom and then i restored data with recovery from an other rom. After that a couldnt install some programs. And i solved it with this. I installed the rom and then i installed titanium and i did the recovery with it. Then all was ok.

Now i only realized that google play will update itself. Sorry for this stupid statement but honestly say Play Store never start update by itself, never prompt me also in my phone...(Don't know what happen ><) and i every time update it using apk file downloaded from another website. Sorry can't help you on this
Would it because of my phone bloatware free and using broodkernel?

As we are not the only one who facing this strange problem so in my opinion i still think that the main issue came from the Play itself. Correct me if i'm wrong because i'm not expert in android. However, flashing a new rom might be a good try and hope that it solved the problem. Good Luck !
I do not have a custom rom on my phone, but i did have the same problems. Everytime i tried to update something i get error 403. Some ppl said turn off wifi go tot 3G and try again..

This didn't work too..i flashed rom from another region..then google prompted me to update (as usual)..and after the update, *poof* same nonsense got repeated.."stuck at download" *pfft*
@mrjraider, my mobile data works fine..but for google play, its the same case.
There is definitely something going on..i sent a complaint to Google Play Support for feedback/solutions. I searched, and it seems to be a common problem in there FAQ. lmao

why not you try find out some way to make it stop auto update like my phone
***i don't know what i have set...even i always flash my phone but still doesn't prompt me for update...so might link to the google account setting
I also tried this recently as suggested by many over the internet.
Open file explorer (need to be rooted), go to:
System> Framework> rename 'framework-res.apk' to 'framework-res.apk.bak' wait for a few FC's then rename it back to 'framework-res.apk'.
This will enable you to re-enter a google account into the system. Some say this worked, but for me it hasn't. Maybe this could work for you too..who knows. (sigh)
Anyways, I just re-flashed the whole rom again..lets hope it works now.
Edit: this is so ridiculous, google taking ages to reply. I did everything i could, even re-flashed the rom..and still nothin..dafuq?!! *sigh*
Ok, peepz..i found a temporary workaround for this problem..and it WORKS!! I hope that Google gets a fix for this nonsense..and FAST!! x(
Here is what I did:
1- go to app manager from settings,
2- uninstall the latest version of google play store
3- clear data and cache of google play store
4- install version Google Play Store v3.5.19
5- when you open the market, google will still prompt you to update to the latest version (dont continue, leave it as it is)
6- if you want to update/install the apps do it thru the browser in your phone/computer (it will straight away update in your phone)
Cheers!! ^_^
ok guys i also have send a complain to google, but when you send it they says they work from 8am to 6pm on those complains so we have to wait a little.
For now i have solved the problem by freezing MarketUpdate.apk via titanium backup pro. i think that probably a new update of google play will solve this, so any now and then i will de-frost google play and check!
ok now after a while it just started update by himslf.
in the meanwhile google support team answered me sayng that the problem is that my phone is rooted. so to unroot and do a hard reset! i ansqered that they are just crazy and that i found on an italian forum a person with everything stock and not rooted with the same problem so to do not bull**** me. also if i told them so in realy good manners
then i found another way t stop this and again, for now it is working. with es filemanager i have changed privilege of vending.apk from rw--rw--rw- to r--r--r--
for now it seems like not updating anymore!
what the hell is goin on with this damn google play?!?!? i have managed to preventi it from update yesteray until now, now i opened market to check a thing and it was updated!!! Someone managed to solve this????

I seriously do not think that the problem is related to being rooted or using custom roms..dafuq?!!
So far, my workaround is working well..the only part which i dont like is everytime i have to install/update..i have be connected to the WiFi/data, and update/install manually from the browser in the device/computer.
Now google play website enables updating from the site itself (via "My Android Apps")..so its kinda convenient..but still suck!! xp
Still, am not satisfied with google's services..till now they havent replied any solution for the problem.
This works for me:
1º Install "Root Explorer" (you can use Blackmart or other alternative market)
2º Disable wifi and data
3º Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Google Play: Unistall Updates
4º With Root Explorer: System/App/MarketUpdater.apk: change permissions to ONLY READ
It would work
EDIT: Sorry, it only work 5 minutes.
Hello,
I have the problem, that apps like Adblock Plus or Avast Mobile Security do not start automatically after booting the device.
Does anybody know the reason or what to do?
Thank you in advance.

Go into settings then Startup Manager and enable the apps you want to allow at startup. Then go to permissions manager and select the apps you want to trust.

Look in GooglePlay for "PM Plus" from Huawei - it's the Permission- and Startup Manager you need.
I have no idea why it isn't as default on the X2
Hi everybody !!
Got my X2 701 today.
After bootloader unlock/recovery&root everything works like a charm,but one thing doesnt...and this is THE KILLER for me.. NO APPS ARE AUTOSTARTING AFTER a reboot.
I have also installed PM plus as I read here ,but no matter what I try.. no apps are autostarting

If you follow the guide you will be able to upgrade with no problems.
I spend the morning reading all there is about 701 to 703.. and its dangerous,and not 100% documented,so I dont dare to do that.
I restored the stock recovery on my 701,I removed su,I wiped the whole thing a few times,and no matter what I do... NO APPS ARE STARTING AFTER A REBOOT...
everything works like a charm,no fc,no errors at ALL,just... when I reboot/turn the thing on.. its loading googleplay/services/gmail/... whatever it came with,but NO 3rd party apps from the store are loading on boot.
I enabled ALL apps in the startup/permission manager... but still they wont load.
WHAT ELSE is there to check/click/switch/do ??(
---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------
I restored my X2 today ,so no SU/TWRP/... did a full wipe with stock recovery,still the same... I suspect,this isnt a bug... but more a feature.
No matter what I try.. NO APPS are autostarting...
(just the whole system crap like playstore/gmail/google services/bla blabla)
Cant be that Im the ONLY one with this (unsolvable ???) problem ?????
well.. turns out.. nothing is unsolveable.. besides curing human stupidity.. and NO.. Im not talking about myself
If you want an app to be 100% sure its loading when you turn on your phone or reboot it => you have to convert the app with Titanium Backup to a SYSTEM APP.
(so basically TiB just moves the .apk into system/app).
Be sure to reboot afterwards,as otherwise the app is gone from your launcher.
I tested this with 3 apps (afWALL+/allinONEgestures/wifiONoff) and all three NEVER started after a cold/warm/lukeWarm(re)BOOT,and after converting them with TiB,all 3 start now everytime.
so maybe I was/am the only one who was annoyed by this BOOTloadingBUG,but with this workaround its solved for me !

That explain a lot of the trouble I experienced with my X2 device.
And, yes, I agree with you about human stupidity (growing more and more around us).
Thanks for your explanation of this BUG !.
Been using this for a few months now figured I'd share.
Download the zip and unzip it into your system/data/apps folder and install the base apk, enjoy.
This does not replace Spotify premium, as all other premium features still require a premium membership.
Link removed per Spotify request.
1.0: This app is an as is modification, I'll try and update it as updates roll out but I can't guarantee that it will work. Right now I suggest just ignoring the full screen update message.
1.1 Updated OP to version 8.4.43.632 March 1st update. Tested on armv7 device, all others may not work.
I'll post updates here.
Now I don't miss Xposed at all!
Thanks for sharing
i just tried this, seems to work so far. Thanks for sharing! ?
i extracted to: sdcard/android/data/com.spotify.music
then installed base.apk to update.
there is an annoyance tho...fullscreen "Update Available" screen everytime i go to currently playing page.
can i update and keep the unlimited skips?
or can i stop it looking for updates?
I'm not sure honestly, I've never updated lol I've just been ignoring it.
any idea what those files are?!
and what exactly is base.apk?
its it just the app renamed? ...i want to try and update, but if these files are some patches, then my guess is they should be re-added after the update.
same goes for base.apk, if its the whole app then we cant install it again after update... but if its a patch, then we must install after every update.
do you have any info on these files?!
said that contains viruses

hey dude, just a heads up!
this morning i got an email from spotify telling me my app has been disabled.
said i should uninstall any unauthorised modifications, and doenload the app from the playstore again.
i guess they found out somehow about this patch. ?
i think its time to look for a new one.
i'll make sure to let you know if i find a good one that works.

That's very weird, it still works for me too.
Currently trying to work the patch into the most recent Spotify update, will post back with results soon.
Updated OP to version 8.4.43.632 March 1st update.
Only tested on armv7 device, not guaranteed to work on all devices.
This gets installed the same way as the original, replace the folder and install base.apk
thanks man, retrying now.
they've blocked my account i think, because now i cant login anymore...they let me reset my password but not login.
--UPDATE--
i installed from play store and applied the patch. my account worked this time. im logged in, playlists are still there.
gonna try it today and see how it goes.
Thanks man, legend!! ??

I found out this little fella under system apps first, I deleted, then somehow it installed it self back to user apps, and giving plenty of permissions to it self, like make calls, read send sms, mms, internet. Dr. Web or Malwarebytes didn't notice this fella but it is pretty suspicious. I freeze it. Because uninstalling doesn't work, it installed it self back after few hours. It disguise it self as an google service also.

Root your phone, you will be able to uninstall it then. Otherwise, factory reset your phone, however, I doubt whether factory reset would work on this chap.
Mate, it is already rooted. And I can Uninstall it, but it comes back after few hours later. It came with factory state rom, so factory reset is not an solution.
I wanted to warn community about this malware also
Thanks for the info
Damn thing is on my ZOJI Z7 too.
Didn't rooted the phone, but tried everything else.

I wish there was a custom rom for my device. Indeed it is an exotic device, couldn't find any custom rom.
This is really fishy, check out the attachment, now some how an app trying to install it self but android permissions prevent it. It pops up randomly during daily use, couldn't find the root of it.
If you know how to post a log file, please do
Or see google .It will be much easier for everyone to see exactly what is happening
Else you can try to root, and in superSU select the option "trust system app"
So you have to select each system app for it to get root permission
Select which one is doing this and bam! Uninstall.
But I recommend you make a backup

I have this one to, and have the same problem. I have located the issue to the launcher. It seems that that's the one downloading the malware and installs it. I installed a firewall to block Internet access to it, and got rid of the problem. Unfortunately there's no way to freeze the launcher. I use another one anyway though.

Don't delete it, disable it (if you can) then it won't be active & it shouldn't come back.
It may be a false positive or a new variant or even that some AV companies may not flag it if it's official app from manufacturer, despite it's behaviour. Check or submit it to virustotal & see who & how many AV companies flag it, make a decision, if you haven't already.
I have rooted my Z6, and removed almost every system app that is not crucial to the system. The malware still appears. It seems that it's embedded deep inside the system and the only option is to flash the entire firmware with someting else to get rid of it. What I know of, there is no AOSP for this device.
My conclusion? Never ever by a China developed mobile. This was my first one, and definitely my last.
More news
Hello. Before I talked about the same virus, but today I saw that the virus (before disable) has uninstall it self and it install 2 programs more called: com.apply.googlea.cation2 and com.apps.systom.sulots
I know that this is very rare.
I disable the 2 apps.
Any suggestion?
I can say, Chinese mtk devices are ground zero for this pservices malware. And yet it is very strange for me to first to mention this malware at xda quite possibly on the internet.
It is been a month almost but no real solution from known security companies. Only malwarebytes suggest to uninstall, and only malwarebytes catches it. And it is not a false positive believe me! This is new and real.
Best I can suggest is to disable pservices and install malwarebytes with real-time scan on also Netguard by M.Bokhorst to control what is communicating with internet.
Regards.
Edit : also forgot to mention all adups.fota update etc. any app with adups and fota name in it should be uninstalled, disabling doesn't work. That helps a little bit, but still keeps background com.
This is worst than we thougth.
Today i scan my mobile with malwarebytes an it found 2 versions of Guerrilla malware and 1 of Riskware.
I think PServices is evolving into many other virus.
I have a theory, I dont know if this is posible but here is. There are some filles that controls the status of PServices, If it is disable it ejecutates a backup from the cloud or something like this.
I dont know what this virus can do, but anything good.
In this moment Guerrilla is inside the microSD and I coud disable the riskware (Inside the sistem is colled FotaProvider)
This could be something big and dangerous.

Hello. Before I talked about the same virus, but today I saw that the virus (before disable) has uninstall it self and it install 2 programs more called: com.apply.googlea.cation2 and com.apps.systom.sulots
I know that this is very rare.
I disable the 2 apps.
Any suggestion?

I think more likely you have another virus, probably a China centric one... not surprising on aChinese phone

I have the same Zoji Z6 phone and a similar problem regarding loads of adware and slow down. Is there any malware-free ROM out there yet for this phone ?
