[Q] Bloatware re-installs after reboot - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I'm having a problem where a specific list of apps keep redownloading and installing again on my phone after I reboot... I want to say there was a file I had to freeze or delete so that it wouldn't install again after every boot. I remember doing it before, but I've searched for a while now and can't find which file that would be. Does anyone know which file it is? or how to fix my problem?
Thanks!

Sounds like it would be Google Play doing it to you. Go into Play Store app - menu - settings - Auto Update Apps - Never Auto Update
Was yours set to "update on wifi only"?

Market Crashing Help pls.

Hello I'm still learning doing this Android on SD on HD2. I'm not too familiar with the computer terms as well. Sorry for that. But my Market keeps updating to this new market 3. something and it crashes when I boot market up. Or if it actually stays open long enough alot of the apps says not compatible with my Phone. I have searched the forums and read about people doing some APK and deleting the auto update. I'm not quite sure that that means or how to do it. Is there anyone that can explain?? Greatly appreciated.
I am using the AmeriCan Android on my HD2 from the SD card method.
Thanks
Mike.
go into settings - application - manage and find the market app entry, click that, then clear cache, and at the top, uninstall updates.
Now, i cant remember how to stop it updating itself, but if uninstalling eth update works, you are on the right track.
I have tried uninstalling a few times, but it keeps updating it self and then crashing. I'm not sure what to do.
now it's work but it appear the lower version of Android Market.
later update itself and crash again ....
help !!!
You may want to booting into recovery, advanced "Fix Permissions" this has been known to solve issues with the market
Hey Michidj00 could you explain how to do that??
Thanks!

cant reinstall Google Search

Hi, I've got a problem I cant fix.
I wanted to downgrade Google Search so I uninstalled updates and it went back to stock. I then installed the version I wanted. v3.1
Now, this is my problem. I DONT want it to show in Google Play as an update so I tried to make a updated APK like I have with many other apps where I like older versions.
Now I used Lucky Patcher and that didn't like making the modded APK but it did back a backup. So I clicked RESTORE BACKUP. and guess what? It deleted the app instead of restoring it.
Now when I try to install it from either any APK or even directly from Google Play it keeps saying the device is full and fails to install.
I have over 1GB free. I've deleted about 10 apps and still keeps saying device is full. I've reinstalled those 10 apps and they fit and install without problems and I still have over 1GB free.
HOW do i get Google Search reinstalled? I dont want to reflash it as I will loose ROOT and that was a big enough ***** to install the first time.
I have a stock recovery menu. Rooted Galaxy S4 i9505 4.3 official firmware.
I did delete delvik cache and the cache in recovery menu.
I cant find any other ways to restore it? I tried titanium backup with the backup I have of it but that never ends when I click restore. It doesn't finish, doesn't do anything just sits there saying its restoring but never stops still I kill it even after 30 mins it was still restoring.
Anyone??
I did try Titanium Backup and made a update.zip and that fails both from SDCARD and ADB as its not signed and its stock recovery.
Do I have to install a custom recovery? Can I use the one I used with 4.2.2 or do I have to get a 4.3 version? That was i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4.tar
Anyone?
I'm stumped. I dont have a clue whats going on and why it wont install and why its saying its full when its got 1GB free.

Thanks for the reply.
Was hoping not to do that.
BUT, everything still works without it anyway and as it stole the use of my Bluetooth button it wont be missed but I do like the Google Now alerts.
What happened with me was the latest few versions stole the link to the bluetooth button. Before when you pressed the button you had the option of S-Voice or Google Search and now the newer versions dont have that option and always use Google Search and you have no way to revert back to S-Voice. I had Google Search disabled for a while but I want to use Google Now so I need the app but not the new version so an old version works fine. I think the last is 3.1? I didn't try 3.2 but I know 3.4 has that forced Google Search now.

I got it installed and fixed a few other apps at the same time.
I went to root /data/data and found the google search was a 0kb file so I deleted it and it installed fine after that. I also had a few other apps that were playing up so I deleted those folders and they now install and work fine.
So in the end no need to reflash just remove the corrupt files and its all fixed.
I did find out Google Search 3.3 is the last of the good versions, 3.4 is when it steals your bluetooth's connection and uses it for its own without letting you choose default.
As S-Voice is a Samsung feature those not with a Samsung phone wont care but those like me that use S-Voice will be annoyed that the latest Google Search removes the choice. I recommend to disable so it goes back to default version then get v3.3 and install that and use an app to remove it from updating in Google Play then all will be good.
it's solved right?
but anyway maybe you could try to flash gapps . Don't now if it will works but i good to try anyway ;D

When uninstalling on stock, you only delete apk file. You have also to delete corresponding odex odex file in system/
Then, you have to remove also corresponding folder in system/data/data
Then, you can try to reinstall the app.

I fixed it. There was a corrupt file in /data/data and as soon as I deleted it, it finally installed fine after that.
Now trying to stop Google Play from upgrading and also removing it from the update list is another problem.

I do that and it doesn't work with Titanium Backup.
I want to remove it completely so it doesnt even see it in the Google play store.
In Titanium Backup you can remove it from Google Play but that option doesn't work as I've had it removed twice and its updated both times.
So far its working. I've turned it into a user app and removed it from the store and its not updated yet but I will give it till tomorrow and if it auto updated like the last 2 times I will just uninstall it again and not use it. Its more trouble than its worth anyway.

I want it installed, I want to use Google Now but I don't want to update to the bad version and I don't want Google Play to keep telling me there is an update so I want it removed from Google Play.
As I said Titanium Backup does have a "Detach from Market" option which does remove it but after a few hours it updates anyway so that option doesn't work.
When you make a custom APK it's not seen in the Market so that works but Google Search doesn't work when you customise the APK.

In GPlay's settings, there are options "do not update automaticly" and, the first one "do not notify about updates"

I've unticked that box so Google Search won't auto update but it's still in the update list and it still gives notifications that it needs to be updated.
It needs to be removed from Google Play, that's the only way to stop it from updating or asking to update and it's the only app I can't customise that I've tried. I've modded many apps and they work and they are removed from Google Play but this one I can't.
I also want other apps to auto update so I dont want to turn that option off.

YES YOU CAN.
Just install Market Fixer and that removed it. But it does sometimes show up after a reboot. I rebooted twice and it showed up the first time but not the 2nd time.
So it looks like I've fixed the problem.
Titanium Backup's 'Detach from Market' doesn't work but Market Fixer does the same thing and that does work.
The problem I think is its a system app, its used by my Google account, its used by half the system so its not easy to hide from the App Store. As other apps aren't used the same way they are easily hidden but Google Search isn't.

Rooted Device Keeps Rebooting...

Hi,
I recently rooted my Galaxy Note 4 (SM-910-C). At first when I was trying to change the Boot Animation I was able to copy files specifically "bootanimation.zip" to the "System/Media" folder using ES Explorer. Now whenever I try to copy that type of file or a "bootsamsung.qmg" file the phone just reboots itself. When the phone restarts and I go back to the folder I find the file is there but only with a size of 0.00 bites. Which means it did not copy correctly. Does anyone know why the phone is suddenly rebooting? Is it possible that the root is corrupted some way? Please advise how I can fix this issue. Thanks.

The Modules I have installed using Xposed are:
> Amplify
> Grennify
> Recent App Cleaner
> Wanam Xposed
YouTube AdAway
How do I produce the catalog?
Amplify should be causing the issue even I had same I've cleared the amplify data now I've not timed any wake locks, I would you to do same and try. Also I would suggest you to install Samsung server crash fix module and enable it to check if your still facing the issue.
Still

Kindly install Catlog and from there you can extract the log file.

Problems installing apps

So I am using lucky patcher to create modified apps. I download an app from Google play just fine, but I modify it then uninstall/install. When I try to install it says it conflicts with an existing package. My question is does it have something to do with the Uninstalled app section in settingd or is it something else? I have looked all over the phone for any files still leftover and can't find any... I have also looked on Google for a solution and none have worked.
Try rebooting after uninstall then install.
Thanks

I figured out I was restarting after installing from the play store instead of after uninstall. Thanks for the help =)

Package Installer errors on 7.1.1

Hi guys,
I've got an issue on 7.1.1 on my X Compact and am at a loss as to how to solve it. I can install and update apps from the Play Store just fine, but if I try to install an app from a file saved on the phone, Package Installer just won't let my tap "Install". That's it. I can navigate around in Package Installer and I can tap "Cancel", but I can't install anything.
My phone is set to allow unknown sources, and I've already tried clearing the app's cache to no avail. I'm not rooted and can't for the time being or, trust me, I would. Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas?

I once had a simmilar issue with allowing root apps permissions on a custom rom. I solved it by factory restarting the phone, and if you want to do that, you can use Titanium Backup to "save" all your apps and data. Hope this helps.
