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.

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

[Q] w/o losing config, how to push installed Widgetsoid.apk to /system/app

I need to push Widgetsoid.apk to /system/app in order to use its USB debugging toggle. I've already installed and extensively configured Widgetsoid. I've pulled its apk. What do I need to do before pushing it to /system/app so that I don't lose my configuration? How do I deal with the one in /data/app?
Does anyone here have experience with pushing an app to /system/app after they've already installed it via the market?
OK, I see that /system/app has to be remounted, but I can't do that while rooted with CF-ROOT. Any suggestions?

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having a similar issue. No matter what I do,I can't get the debugging toggle to work.

I don't use Widgetsoid anymore. But I suggest trying Android Tuner's App Manager to install an app as a system app.

Wow, great app. But I've been playing with it for half an hour and can't figure out how to use it to install other apps as system apps. I see the option for the app to install itself as a system app, but that's it.
Do you know where this option is?

In the Apps manager, go to the Apps tab, press and hold on an app, select "Move" and then choose "System." Android Tuner has a lot of functions, making feature discovery a challenge. You really need to use the AT thread linked above and 3c's web site for support, and of course RTFM.

And then something long and complicated although the explanation may seem simple.
You have to unlock the bootloader. (if you do not know what it is, look on google)
You must obtain permissions Root (if not even know this always tries)
After installing the play archives Store manager who is able to get into the system folder of your smartphone (with root permission of course)
and so you can start to clean up everything.
NB: if you look carefully you will find here on XDA some guide that will explain what you need to do well. you just try
Thank you
Sorry.. i am just a beginner and trying to learn more.. and likewise i just want to make clear on how to do it.. i guess asking a query is not bad..
At first root your device if already done skip it download titanium backup app from Google play store after installation open it and del. The apps what ever you want .don't remove important system app other wise your system may brick.
For safety you can use clean master app. This app automatically give you details that which app you can remove withot risk and what happened if you remove that app.
you need root access and system app uninstaller if you don't have of them then you can try to disable pre-installed app from setting
i have same problem can't uninstall pre installed apps

Debloater 3.7 released

Just letting everyone know of a tool I wrote for both rooted and non-rooted(KitKat) devices. So if your running 4.4.x you can still block all applications even from receiving updates, etc.. Most other apps will not even show the applications in their lists once the tool is run against your device. It is completely safe and will not trip Knox, etc..

This has already been done:

Unless you have a script that is lollipop specific (not done yet...) your tool is redundant and less than useful.

My application is far from a script. It is a full application that will work with any release if rooted. If not rooted, it will work native with KitKat, It will also remove all associated data as well with removal, if rooted, and supports Xposed framework as well.
so its pc software to disable system apps? why not just disable them on the device?
either way, nice work (i do not know how to make a exe lol)

Thank you. Well, it doesn't just disable apps. Also, most apps you cannot disable on the device without installing some more apps to do it on the device. I am a person who likes less apps on my device. So when I was building this, I thought, do I want to install something to remove something on my device ? Agree to all the access privileges, take up more space, etc ?? So I wrote this.. It will also remove apps and delete all associated data with the app. if rooted. Allow people to share blocked lists and allow you to import and export blocked and unblocked lists as well as many other things.

yea, options are always good.. i for one would rather have a rom without the bloat to begin with lol. you can disable most system apps without root in the application manager so you only need to install lets say tibu on rooted devices to remove them but to me tibu is essential for any rom

[Q] s6 rooted. uninstalled apps keep reinstalling

Used the ping pong root for at&t s6 and worked great. Deleted a lot of crap and was happy. But the galaxy apps app keeps finding a way to redownload itself. Tried to go through settings and turn off auto update And everything. Anyone have any tips??
I'd be interested to know if there's a workaround to this as well. Once I know for sure we can get rid of the bloatware I may jump back on the S6 bandwagon.
Isn't there a way to remove the download list app from the Play Store so that they don't redownload automatically?
Sent from my iPhone 6 Plus using Tapatalk
On the G3 there was a folder which had a list of apps it would download no matter what, wonder if the S6 has something similar?
Did you reboot your phone after uninstalling?
Even without rebooting it does it. Play store auto update and everything is off. I did notice in kinguser after deleting things there are files that show up at bottom of the uninstall list. File names like com.Flipboard or com.shealth its weird files for the apps that were uninstalled. And even deleting those from list they just show up again. I'm going to look around file explorer see if I can find anything.
Samsungs S Health app is another one that won't delete. Found the com. Folder with file in it. But says can't delete. This is with root access. Maybe we just need to flash a whole new ROM. I'm sure cynagen working on one
maybe try using sdmaid, it uninstalls well for me
What are you using to uninstall? I see you said Kinguser so I'm assuming not using Titanium Backup. Try to get supersu instead
I tried a couple times to make SuperSU the main app but even following the directions in the ping-pong root thread I just can't seem to make SuperSU work for some reason
Hi, may you can install an "Root explore", then just go to /system/app and directly remove apk files of those annoying apps from your ROM.

AppLock cant get usage access on Android 5.1.1 WHat now ?

Hey
So I have a rooted Lenovo TB2-x30l running android 5.1.1-
It is rooted with Kingroot.
Now I am trying to install Applock and it wants usage access, sure i find the app in the list and i activate it.
But when I go back and try to lock apps again it asks for the same thing but it is already ON.....
I have even tried using the app (AppOps) to see if it has root acess and it has.
One strange thing I have found, I do not know if it is related is that under accessabiity and services Kingroot is ON and some other programs are OFF,
No matter which order I do it if I put kingroot OFF, or just try and put any other service on ON in 10min they will be reset like it was before again..... WHY ?
I do not have SuperSU installed, should I install that? Would that help somehow?
Thanks in advance!
Try alternate apps
If you root Your device with kingroot app, You wont have SuperSU. Instead, you'll have the same kingroot app to manage superuser rights. The kingroot app will do the same work you suppose SuperSU to do. Don't worry, thats not the issue. I too tried Applock app on my lenovo vibe smartphone without any luck. Use CM SECURITY app. It is an all-in-one security app with app lock feature. It's free and easy to use as well. It doesnt require root permissions. Check it out in Playstore.
Hope this helps!:good:
