Three chinese apps.. Virus?

I am not sure if I always had these apps.
Settings -> Manage applications
then I see three apps that says:
星座, 新闻, and (something)
I took a look at them and they have full access to everything:
- Network communication
- Your location
- Your Google accounts
- Phone calls
- system tools
- Your messages
- Services that cost you money
- Your personal information
is this virus or some kind of malware????
I tried formatting and re-install rom.
I tried formatting sdcard and then re-install rom.
But I still see them.
I use myHero 2.0.5 ROM.

haha because HTC is taiwanese, the rom originates from there and thus some of the stock applications have been left on. i got rid of them by using root explorer and deleting them.

[Q] I am a build addict.. what are my auto-install options ?

- - - Seeking the equivalent of Sashimi and SKTracker - - -
Hi,
I installed Froyo Sense 2.2 on my HD2 for the first time yesterday and expect I will be playing around with different builds for a long time until I find 'perfection'.
As a serial WinMo ROM addict, I used to use Sahsimi to back up and re-apply all of my application installs, customisations, skinning, license key input, WiFi and webmail settings etc.. etc.. . So literally after installing a ROM, I can have all of my apps and customisations re-applied within minutes...
But is there an equivalent for Android out there ?
- Is my google tie in aware of my installed applications and will it auto-install them again ?
- Where does Android store installs ?
- Can purchased installs be re-applied without any DRM restrictions ?
- Is there an equivalent of Sashimi (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538513). I know on WinMo there are quite a few apps that let you re-installs Cabs, registry edits and XML's
- Are there any application watcher tools that will allow me to find out where applications specific customisations are installed ? The equivalent I'm using on WinMo are SKTracker and MobileMon
Any advice would be appreciated.

- Is my google tie in aware of my installed applications and will it auto-install them again ?
-- Generally yes, every new build I've used recently (last 3 or 4 weeks or so, never checked before) will automatically try and redownload from the market whatever you had before.
- Where does Android store installs ?
-- Not 100% sure I understand but all Android data (sms, apps/games/saves etc) are stored in your /Android/data.img on the SD card.
- Can purchased installs be re-applied without any DRM restrictions ?
-- Theoretically yes, cannot guarantee 100% but it's tied to your google account so in theory it's a yes.
- Is there an equivalent of Sashimi (http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260). I know on WinMo there are quite a few apps that let you re-installs Cabs, registry edits and XML's
-- Your best bet for that will be Titanium backup. Looks complex once you first open it, but read the wiki (google will help you there) and you'll realise it's actually very simple.
- Are there any application watcher tools that will allow me to find out where applications specific customisations are installed ? The equivalent I'm using on WinMo are SKTracker and MobileMon
-- Not entirely sure on that one afraid, it's not something I've really looked into.

Thanks for the details. I'll look up Titanium Backup.
One thing I have noticed, upon installing a Marketplace App if I clicking onSettings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> [select the application]
... then there is the option of 'Move to SD Card'.
To me this suggests that all Marketplace installs default to the phone's internal memory.... correct me if I'm wrong.
But I'm not sure if this is the installer for the app or the application itself.
Ideally, I would like to have the installer on my SD card and application installed to the destination of my choice.

One thing I've noticed is that the Market downloads installers to \sdcard\download. They're not named with the original filename, but there's a manifest xml file inside where you can see what file it was.
This way, you can keep backups of all your installers from the Market.
Just copy the ones you want into the AndroidApps folder of the new build and it will automatically install them for you.
This should help make the process a little smoother

[Q] Market Problem

Hello,
i found nothing about, therefore i will ask it.
I made a couple of CWF flashes and downgrades, and as i was on a Raidroid only temporarily for Radio S-OFF & Super CID the market logged my phone and overwrited me all my app settings with the standard ones (facebook, google, adobe - 5 or 6 apps before there were 20 or more). All my other downloads are not listed in the market website anymore.
The apps & settings i became back with Titanium Backup Pro also the Market Links. When i go on my android into the market and my apps, are all there and i can update it. But if i install a new ROM it will not download it automatically new from the market. Short question: Is there a way to force Google to actualize my downloade apps as it has done where i was on Raidroid ?
Thanks!
Stefan
Sorry for my english is complicated and i am german

Think I deleted android calendar system app by accident - help!

Running out of internal storage for apps on my ZTE Blade MiniQ running android 4 .2 .2 I rooted it using Kingroot and then used Titanium backup to delete bloat ware.
BUT I selected something by accident but thought I'd managed not to delete it - now I think I must have! :crying:
I use google calendar sync'd with business calendar on my phone - it shows no calendars available.
I've installed the google calendar app - but it says my calendars can't be displayed cos calendar storage has been disabled - there is link to enable in setting - app info flashes up and then settings stops working.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling accounts, even a factory reset - nothing is working.
Have seen an old post about this but the link to 4share is no longer working
Has someone got a ink to the right file - and can tell me how to get it back on my phone I'd be extremely grateful
(I did delete lots of stuff like google play newstand - but think that should be ok - and no I didn't back up - cos I am an idiot! -or rather was only planning on getting rid of bloat ware)
The calendar is the one of the main things I use on my phone ....

1.download stock rom for Q mini from official ZTE site
2.extract this from ur stock rom:
-CalendarImporter.apk
-CalendarImporter.odex
-CalendarProvider.apk
-CalendarProvider.odex
3.copy/paste it in system/app and change permissions to rw r r
4.reboot

Some Apps crashes directly after start. What to do?

Hello,
I try since some weeks to setup my P9Lite VNS-L31. I upgraded the stock build B150 to different ROMs, like B201, MedroM Custom ROM v2 and V3 and currently B160. I've also rooted the phone and installed xposed with xprivacy - the most important apps for my device.
However, everything works fine. Everything? Not exactly. Some apps are terminated instantly after they was started. A (not fully complete) list of these crashing apps:
- Google Play Store (so it's not possible to create accounts)
- DB Navigator
- Lightning Browser
- xPrivacy (Opening via notification after installed/updated apps are possible!)
- And some games...
What I alread tried:
- Re-install all of ROMs above, with and without root, with and without xposed.
- Dirty ROM upgrades and full wiping in all directions.
- Delete user data and app data
- Delete and reinstall apps
- Clean and dirty reinstall apps in other versions.
Nothing helps... I'm confused about that. I can't find any reason about that and also I don't found any solutions for that. So can you help me, please?
Many thanks in advance.
Best wishes
Dan
