I was looking around for the answer to getting rid of this

and only noticed it in the "Similar threads" thing when I was going to ask. Figured it a good idea to put another thread on it on the HD forum too seeing it likely to be another common annoyance like that popping sound
What I did:
1. use Titanium Backup to make a backup of "CallForwardActivation 1.0"
2. uninstall/freeze it.

Strange Ad producing app.

Didn't really know where to post this...
Has anyone ever seen this before? Don't know where it came from. I assume tagged along with another app. But it was causing random full screen ads on my wife's phone. It even made ads appear when the screen was off. I was able to remove it effortlessly but it would be nice to know more about it.

If you don't need it, why not uninstall it?

Trying to figure out privacy settings (pic)

Hi.
Noob here.
Running RR rom and loving it.
Went to Privacy settings and found out there's an option to limit apps.
For example (see screenshot below).
My question is: should I even be touching this?
Thanks!

You can mess with it a bit in order to stop apps from running in the background, just don't touch system apps/services or you could really screw things up.

What is com.samsung.fresco.logging?

I've just installed SuperMan ROM and saw this (likely) piece of junk enabled in Autostarts: "Fresco Intelligence Service".
What is it, and why is it still there in a custom ROM, @Tkkg1994?

Was enabled on my stock ROM, disabled with a package disabler, will see if anything breaks
Maybe that van with the blacked out windows will move away from my house now...
Yeah, it just freaked me out when I found this app! What is it, and why is it still there in a custom ROM, @Tkkg1994?

Suspicious app in app section : Update apps

Recently I have learned about RATs. Seeing how they behave, I could related some of them to my phone. I searched a few videos on how to detect them. Following their steps, I found a 4 apps with no icon. One of them is legit, the other two, Facebook App Installer and Facebook App Manager, are already being discussed. The last one, Update apps, has no info on the net. The name too looked off. I mean, why would there be a completely seperate app to update apps?
