[Completed] How to block apps which install themselves over and over again ? - XDA Assist

Hi,
Phone : ZOPO ZP999 - rooted
The latest month there is something weird going on : 2 'apps' are reinstalling themselves over and over again.
I deinstalled them, blocked them. Even when i block them they disappear and reappear again.
These apps use icons like twitter and facebook.
This is the data :
1. com.roma.boostcleanpro.apk
it refers to this links on GooglePlay : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roma.boostcleanpro
uses Facebook icon
2. com.sp.cp.apk
nothing to find on Googleplay
uses twitter icon
Does anybody knows the reason ?
Is there another installed app which is responsible for this ?
ps : in "security" , unknown sources is not enabled and verify apps which can cause damage is enabled
Thanks for the help

Hello,
You've picked up some malware, you have to remove the malware to keep those apps from coming back. I'm willing to wager that you rooted your device with Kingroot because it deceptively installs apps when you use it. If you used Kingroot then you'll need to find the method of converting to SuperSU on your device and remove Kingroot, then you won't get those apps installing themselves.
To find the malware you can use Malwarebytes Ant-malware app from the Playstore.
For further help ask your question in the forum linked below.

The experts there may be able to help. Good luck.

Hi - thanks for the reply !
This phone - my ZOPO zp999 - is rooted with SuperSU. I made the root-thread my self here on XDA So the rooting is OK.
The phone has been working fine all the time so there must be an app which caused the reinstalling of some bad apps.
Therefore I run Malwarebytes and had about 8 issues - see screenshot - removed them and since yesterday the problem was gone...
hope it stays that way

Problem=HTC Legend rooted+Medscape

Just bought a used HTC Legend with Android 2.2 but recently noticed that the phone appears to have been rooted by the previous owner.
I found this while installing the Medscape app: the app doesn't download the clinical reference giving an error that I've come to discover is related with the fact that the app doesn't work in rooted phones or with adblock programs.
At the same time I found out that I had this "SuperUser Permission" app installed on my HTC that I can't seem to uninstall.
Given the fact that I'm a medical student, Medscape is really really important to me so I would please ask you to help me solve this problem. I'm not familiar with the procedures to "unroot" the phone so the best option would be to solve the problem using the quickest and most simple method...if it's necessary to unroot I will need your help!
Thanks in advance
Bump.............
Just un-install adfree, and you should be alright. Don't worry about the "root" or "unroot" - it's not necessary for Medscape to work - adfree is the culprit here.
Have fun with your your new phone.

[Completed] Installed Framaroot

Had a precious post on this. I am not sure what to do after the installation of Framaroot. All I want to do is to be able to get to the boot files and eliminate one file on bootup on my ZTE Z740. Is there a way to do this? I have verified the install with root checker. I am new to this so please have patience with me. Thank you.

Hmm ... if I understand you correctly, you want to diable the autostart of a special app on system boot.
Then please check the XDA Xposed Tuesday: App Startup Control with BootManager – XDA Developer TV. For this you will need to install Xposed framework (via Xposed installer) first, and grant it root access.
Or you can use another app to manage the autostarts of your apps, such as Autostarts, System Tuner/Android Tuner, etc. And grant the app root access after first start.
BTW ... here is another thread askign for the same thing: A way to *prevent* some apps from running at startup? (not killing nessiarily)
Installed those apps
Have installed Xposed and Bootmanager. Am not getting file files exposed that I am looking for. Just getting some of the files I had previously installed. How can I get to the system files?

Here is the Xposed module thread: [APP][4.0.3+ & GB][XPOSED] BootManager.
To manage the system apps, you need the donate version.
Alternatively you may use one of the other apps I listed in my previous post.

Boot up tune
Looks like I finally got rid of it. I uses an app, Rom Box Lite on the play store. Was able to get to the files (bootup.mp3) deleted it and hurray!, gone!

[Completed] [Q] Malware without opening a shady app?

So, I was trying to download an old xposed module. Upon downloading it, the apk was named as the file I wanted. Once installed, it installed as a download manager with a different name.
I never ran the app and uninstalled it immediately. Could my device have been infected with malware without launching the app?
My backup is over a month old and I would like to avoid a restore
Hi there,
Please read carefully this threads where is discussed about that:

Some other app that you've installed is doing it.
Have you rooted your device?
What method did you use to root it?
Did you use Kingroot or KingoRoot?

It absolutely has to to be something you installed.
You didn't answer me question, by the way.
Did you root your device with Kingroot or KingoRoot? If so, that is what is doing it.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
not with kingroot!
i rooted it with framaroot about a year ago.but the 'self install' thing began two weeks ago. new apps i hv installed are AIDE,,SCR pro & apk editor pr
Go to “developerettingUncheckInstall apps from external sources”(or something like that).
If the app is installing from play store delete the last install app. It maybe any thing like anti virus, phone booster, battery booster, twrp, recovery etc.
If the app is not installing from play store but downloading from internet then Go to settings> enable developer options> uncheck the box which says “Install apps from un trusted sources (or something like that). Then uninstall the last installed app or the app which u think is causing this issue. Same as above list.
Try closing all tabs in ur browser also.
Then install C cleaner app. Run it. Delete the files which u don't know. Then back to normal

Snapchat: Will these actions get me banned?

Hello, I am planning to use snapchat on bluestacks by making titanium backup of snapchat on my phone, transfer the file to rooted bluestacks and restore it there. Can I practically get banned by doing so? If yes, how snapchat detect me doing so?
Also, I am planning to use Casper (Yes, I know I can practically get banned by using Casper :/ ). How do snapchat detect me using Casper? How can I minimize the risk of getting banned by using Casper?
(Sorry for asking multiple questions and if I post in wrong section of forum, please kindly notify me
I've never been banned from snapchat for using anything like this. The worst that's happened to be is being prevented from logging in due to having Xposed installed or SuperSU installed or something like that. Since it's a rooted bluestacks enviroment, Snapchat might detect your root and prevent you logging in, with some unclear message like "Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again"
