S7 Mini 'Ads' on startup. - Elephone S7 Questions & Answers

Hi Guys,
The last few days I've been getting 'Ads' on the home screen every time I login. Figured I (or the kids) had installed something stupid =/
Today I did a full factory reset, only to get an 'Ad' on the home screen with in minutes of resetting. And before I'd installed any apps or apk's
Anyone else having this problem? Or have a solution to it?
Just coming back to android and still a little lost.
Thanks Guys.

It might be your mobile carrier. Try booting with airplane mode on. Then just WiFi.
I have root and adblocker and nothing in the way of ads

Thanks for the reply nickzeptepi,
It looks like its something in the stock rom, people are complaining on the Elephone forums, and not just about the S7 Mini.

Have to try and find another rom.

Just read a few comments and that's bad to put ads in the firmware.
Looks like root is your best option to delete and remove. But then no more updates.
I'm waiting for a custom ROM but it's slow progress as there's not many Devs.

If i only install TWRP without root, can i still get ota updates?

As far as i know, No. The ota update needs stock boot image / loader to do its thing.
I haven't found a reliable guide on how to unpack the update and flash it manually via twrp, but i think its possible.
I've got some issue with my laptop which means it won't recognise the phone in flashtools & therefore can't fix it if it does mess up.

Good News
Looks like Daniel-David has found a work round, post #47 on this page:
http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-13381-5-1.html
Seems its the default launcher.
Quick run down:
1º- Install Nova Launcher (I tried with this one, maybe other ones also works)
2º- Set as default, keeping press the button, select always Nova.
3º- Go to settings - apps - show system apps
4º- Search for Launcher 3 and force stop
5º- In the same screen go to Permissions and disable all
6º- Go back and in Storage, clear data and clear cache
7º- Go to main screen of apps and tap in the gear
8º- Go to Modify system settings
9º- Up in the right corner tap the three points and show system
10º- Search Launcher 3 and disable "Allow modify system settings"
11º- Go back and go to "Draw over others apps"
12º- Up in the right corner tap the three points and show system
13º- Search Launcher 3 and disable "Permit drawing over other apps"
Worked for me.
@nickzeptepi,
Is it possible to 'Root' the phone, un install the launcher, then un 'Root' in order to get OTA updates?
p.s. I could probably help fix your laptop, but your on your own with the ROM. =/

I had the same issue with the ads and uninstalled Elephone's Service-App which let the ads disappear (needs root).

anucios de inicio y desbloqueo
yo lo he solucionado cambiando el launcher de inicio y desinstalando el que trae de fabrica

This thing is so annoying, just moved to android, cant believe this s*** happens.
has anyone found a solution without root?

The phone is brand new, I just got it in yesterday and had it only for a day.
I was using swype, and just uninstalled it, and when I rebooted the phone, that error keeps popping up and won't go away, making it unable for me to use the phone.

I guess that's my last resort. Damn
Edit: How would I even factory reset it? I literally can't use the phone. It's bricked. And in the recovery mode menu there is no option to factory reset. (tried pressing power and volume up)
If your phone is still locked, save the data (if needed) via adb and unlock it. But there could be easier way.

go to gmail account settings and sync everything. Google play will have your apps backup but not app data. Save all music, pics and files that you dont want to lose to your computer. Then just go to backup and reset in your settings menu and select Factory Data reset.
if that doesnt solve your problem you might have to use fastboot to reinstall the Jellybean.

I've had something similar to this on my G2x at one point; Android keeps popping up with errors and you can't do a single thing but reboot...which ends up erroring the same way when you're back in in an endless loop.
OP, you'll have to wipe and reinstall. If you've rooted it and enabled USB debugging then you're golden. If not, you'll have to go through several hoops to flash a factory image.

Sorry.. Googled topic, brought me here, did not realize... And i did fastboot the firmware, still systemUI issue but only with PAC-man... Handful of others I tested no issues.. I read on github (after i posted here) is a Know issue for PAC and why!!! Just strange, V05 was released weeks ago, why sooo long for issue to submerge... And no issues with V01-V04

I am having this situation right now for my Nexus 4 (running stock 4.2.2 and installed Quick Settings mod from kevdliu, use the ROM for a long time and one day want to wipe all, after wiping, and reboot system I got this) and I think I figured out the solution: Wait until the battery is exhausted and automatically turned off, then put it into the charger for some time. Then pull it out of the charger, press volume up + down + power to get into fastboot. From here, we can wipe all and flash a new rom, or restore to stock rom, or do anything fastboot can do.

why install quick settings when stock 4.2.2 comes with its own form of quick settings? I'm willing to bet that's your problem!

you haven't used stock 4.2.2 have you? Its quick settings is so frustrating, it always takes me to Settings to turn on or off Wifi. I want a quick Settings that takes only one click to turn on or off Wifi, so I have to install that mod. Btw, I'm still waiting for the battery to die

hey i know this thread was already answered but i found that this messaged popped up after changing some settings for the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. i didnt want it on my screen because i kept clicking either the back button or the home button which was very frustrating. so i tried to turn it off..that didnt work so instead i set all of the buttons to empty and the visibility to 0% and only after tracing back the steps i took (having to click the ok button for the stupid message about 80 times) i finally managed to find out that the navigation bar was the problem. hope you guys are able to fix your problem as simply as i did without doing anything drastic.

I recently had this issue and determined also that it must be something with my status/notification bar as it seemed to resize the screen to show the bar and then immediately resized it again as it displayed the System UI message. I use both Wanam and XBlast and disabled those as well as all Xposed modules. I also disabled Nova Launcher as default and rebooted. Re-enabled all and rebooted again and problem was resolved. Hopefully this will help others as well.

Hi I have huawei ascend y511 and after disabling google keyboard i turned off phone and put it back on. This happened. Help me please, How do I get it back to normal? If I factory reset, will it work? Or should I let the battery drain out and do something. I can't do anything on my phone now because I can't even press anything because of the really frequent pop out of "system ui has stopped" . Help please.

[Q] xposed installer causes SYSTEM UI error

hi
\i have tried installing the framework in order to use the Xposed Installer mods\ \
ALWAYS ALWAYS immediately after reboot i get the "Unfortunately SYSTEM UI has stopped" error ALWAYS
i have done full wipes data, cache, dalvik AND SYSTEM only to come back with the same error time and again
i have installed crash rom from galaxy s4 gt- i9500
again as i said completely wiped and yet the error is there
also and this is absolutely baffling - i downloaded several new cusoms roms for the galaxy s4 gt-i9500 *wanamlite, phoenix, cobra"
and for the life of me cobra would not start at all - again after full wipes - system, data, dalvik cache and with full battery - zim\
phoenix loaded once only to fully freeze after and no go and wanamlite loaded only to come up with nottach mods from lord knows where that made the system unstable and rebooted into oblivion
again i reload this rom as downloaded fresh from full wipes.
i am luckily using crash version 11 but unable to do the framework install
PLEASE PLEASE HELP, i am new and am not allowed to post into the developper's area to find an answer please please
thanks from the bottom of this 68 year old geek

these guys bring refinements to the OS that the majors don't bother with because they have to offer something with the LEAST

It could be an incompatibility with the ROM you are using. Soe ROMs just do not like their core components messed with.
Try a different ROM. See if you get better results.

i've tried ALL CUSTOM ROMS everysingle one of them causes the same error, somehow the size of the screen grows TALLER and there is no space left for the status bar.
something causes the screen size to enlarge, is there a spec in the developer page that may cause this?
anyone, thanks
Are the errors coming after you installed the actual framework, or after you install a module?

i install the framework and then it asks for a reboot, during the reboot and at the restart i keep getting the "system ui has stopped" error, i can make it go away ONLY by removing the framework , i have a couple of aps that have a "restart UI" option even this doesn't work either.
at this moment, i am in the modules, page and at the top i have the message "the latest version of xposed currently not active, did you install the framework and reboot"? if i go into the framework, press install and then reboot, at reboot i get the error message, ALWAYS
any ideas, really puzzled
thanks for your time, much appreciated

first off thank you so much for taking the time to try to help, very very much appreciated, now this being said
i installed arrow rom v10 android 4.3 ubuemk1
in it there's an option in the settings page that has the xposed installer framework by going in it , it says thre are 46 app_process bundled and 42 xposedbridge.jar and active none,
i click on install/update and do the soft reboot, period, at this moment and after the reboot, i notice that the homepage is slightly taller and thre's no space for the status bar, and i presume that's the reason i get the "system ui has stopped" error. i can't imagine what setup causes the change in dimentions
btw i use apex as launcher. but that also happened with the standard (i forget the name) android launcher
i can undo the system ui error by going into the same settings page and removing the framework install
and that's it, i can't tell what framework version it's installing,, but know how frustrating this is, i just don't feel like dwelling further on it by trrying to find out what version that is, i hope you understand and just to put you in the proper frame of mind, let me tell you that i am 70 and at times the excess info becomes at times a bit overwhelming, i try to keep up but not been very versed in programming it becomes at times a bit hard
thanks so so much for your time and i hope we can find the root of this

Thats not correct. If you The bundled part is correct, but the active part is missing. It should also say 46 app_process bundled and 42 xposedbridge.jar.
Are you sure it has root acces? Check Supersu. And you start with an absolute fresh rom? No backups restored from any app etc.
Can you post the log of Xposed here? After you installed the framework you can go to the main menu of Xposed and there is the log.

first off, thank you for the effort, truly appreciated
second, checked su and xposed is listed
third the version that came with arrow v11. is 2.3.1
fourth i went thru every single option in xposed and can't find the log. in a previous rom i remember seeing it, but in this one i have framework, modules, download, settings, about, under settings there's only the option to allow downloads, and under framework if i allow the install which brings in the actual modules numbers under the active column and reboot at this point i get the system ui stop error and have to uninstall it in order to get the status bar back on the screen
matter of fact y'day i downloaded the new arrow v11 and before installing it i did a wipe system and the rom install does the wipe cache, and dalvik so we're starting with a fully clean slate, even further in previous custom roms install i went even further by doing a full system reset
nothing helps, i always wind up with the same system ui stop. i returns my apps with a titanium apps restore after wiping the user data erase.
i must must be doing somthing wrong or must have a setting somewhere else that is interfering with xposed, i have in dev pate the msaa ticked and the turn off hardware overlays also ticked. those are the ONLY AND ONLY settings that i have outside the apex basic drawers settings.
thanks so much for your help, also let me know how i can locate the log in the actual physical location in the drive, not only just be able to read it

I was having the same issue using the Stock Launcher on GPE 4.4 android. Using another launcher I didn't get the issue. You might want to disable all modules and reboot to see if the issue goes away, then enable one by one to see what module is causing the issue.

hi and thank you so much for resolving the mystery
i was hung up on using Apex and decided to remove Apex and used Nova, and followed your advice. and lo and behold i can activate Xposed and started by activating Wanam and still no problem then i checked the 3 dots and here i got the System UI stopped error, unchecked it and problem gone so it was the 3 dots.
i don't know if also the 3 dots were causing the problem in combination with Apex, but funny story with Apex even though i got the system ui stopped error, which in theory would cause the complete disactivation of all the modules, the 3 dots module DID work WITHOUT the xposed being activated. i am no planning to go back to apex to check the 3 dots thing, not by a million shot.
also nova does not by itself give the transparent system bar option, i found another module that give that option, so i am finally putting that baby to rest and move on.
thank you so much for coming with the PERFECT ADVICE that really made my day, truly very very much appreciated

I'm a noob to my s4. I was flashing daily on my s2 and weekly on my note 2. It's easier when you have a custom recovery and the stock rom as backup. And since there are no custom recoveries for our s4 I don't want to take the risk of flashing addons. Apk's I don't mind.

Phone Lags after root and Greenify Problem

I just rooted my N910C and i noticed it lags? i try to install Greenify and also it lags sometimes it wont even ask for SuperSU access and i tried turning off the power saving and even if its off the icon on status bar is still there. another thing is that when i install greenify i can't un install it normally i tried on google store and the only option is Deactivate. i tried uninstalling it via "Drag icon and drag to the trash can icon" and it says that i need to disable the administrator access and i tried unchecking it but it lags. so what i did was uninstall it via titanium back up and it worked. but still my phone lags any suggestion?
another problem is that my computer does not detect my phone anymore? but when i plug it in it charges and the "windows notification sound" knowing that it detects a device being plugged but i cant see it on my computer so i cant access the Internal storage
update*

i tried paring a bluetooth from my Nvidia Shield and it even lags.. the notification with the Pin code is Soooooo delay so i cant pair properly example on my shield i tried to pair the Note 4 shield will show a pairing confirmation with pin code and on the tablet it wont until around 1minute

flashing the stock rom via ODIN would be a better option.

in that case, download the correct firmware from sammobile.com, i.e. according to your region / carrier.
Thanks everything is back to normal and lag was gone. but root was also gone im afraid to root again the lag might come back =(

I don't know if your Note 4 version is the same with mine (Mine is N910H), mine is rooted + greenify but I experience a little to no lag.
Bluetooth pairing in an instant.
Apps open in an instant.
Buttons response in also quick.
Perhaps background process or some rogue apps do the lag?

Yes iv'e tried slimming down to know the problem so what i did was
1) flash stock firmware (status ok)
2) root my device (status ok)
3) install greenify, six axis & some adblocker (status ok)
4) install xposed (status ok)
5) install xposed binaries and update (status phone lags)
6) uninstall xpoesed binaries amd updates (status ok)
Just do a search here; S-health app and Private mode interferes with xposed (or is it the other way around?) There are some settings you can change (disable secure storage in build.prop) that will get rid of the lag caused by xposed.
I concur that it is the exposed framework that is the culprit. It doesn't work well on samsung kitkat phones but only CM and AOSP. It will even ruin your private mode! So as for convinience I don't install it on Sammy phones

[Q] I cant remove spy program from my phone please help

Hi everyone,
My gf got me a phone as a gift and the weird part it was rooted so i didnt say anything but lately i found out she know alot of things and its like shes reading and knowing everything happening on my phone.. I did factory reset to my phone without backup but yet she still know i have no idea HOW. I found a program called system app working and ruining consuming high amount of data but i cant get rid of it and i have no idea what kind of software im having.
How comes its not possible to remove it when you make factory reset and how can i get rid of it?
Any help feedback i would be appreciate it.
Thank you,
You can download the official firmware from Sammobile and install it via Odin, that should fix it.
You also can install different Rom or delete the app with Titanium Backup, but in this case, I would go with the Odin method.
Can you post a screenshot
If you factory reset, ideally all user installed apps, which would include the monitoring app/service would be gone...the phone would stoll be rooted, but without a root access manager lije supersu, root would be useless for that app
Sent from my VZW LG G2
brilliant get rid of here and get a new phone lol
Try to hard reset via stock recovery.
Shutdown your phone
Hold power+volum up+Home button.
After reset you should change your Google i.d or password. May be she know your pass and watching through Google+ or playstore .
If she install the spy software as system (because of root) hard resetting will not get rid of it. Only flashing an original Samsung rom via Odin will do it. Then change passwords of all your accounts (Google and Samsung) then only change GF...

Google Keyboard (Gboard) Disappears

I'm not sure what happened, but my Google Keyboard seems to have disappeared. Google Keyboard is not showing as an option under "Keyboard & input methods". I have Flesky and Swiftkey, so I'm getting by, but I don't know how to get it working. Gboard shows under Apps, and I've tried clearing cache, clearing data, force stop, and uninstall/reinstall, but it still doesn't appear as an option to use as a keyboard. How can I rectify this? Thanks in advance to anyone who has a solution.

Google keyboard is replaced by Gboard but I think you already knew that. Also if you are on a custom ROM flash Gapps again. Gboard will appear on input options. If not maybe you have factory reset or wait for the app to be updated again .
PS did you reboot after clearing cache?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not rooted and therefore don't have a custom ROM, just the one that came with the device, so therefore I can't really flash anything. I went into recovery mode and did a cache wipe there, which, of course, requires reboot, to no avail. I'll wait to see if an update comes out soon and will live with 3rd party keyboards in the meantime. For what it's worth, I've included screen shots showing that Gboard is showing as an app but is not showing as an available keyboard. When I click "Current Keyboard", my only options are Flesky and Swiftkey.
The reply is appreciated.

Sorry to hear. If you do manage to get it fixed please reply to this thread. Thanks. I am on 7.0 and Gboard is running fine.

Update: I finally got Gboard back. I tried a number of things, including a manual download and install of the apk. I decided to try Slash keyboard, and, when I installed it, I was taken to the screen to enable it, and, voila', Gboard shows up with an enable option. I don't know what happened, but it's working now.

Actually, in your second screenshot, if you tap on "Current Keyboard" there will be a button to choose keyboard. If you press that, it will bring you to the screen where you can enable/disable keyboards. That's probably why Gboard was hidden.

Yep. Not intuitive to me, but you're correct. I thought "Current Keyboard" was just a prompt to select one from the pop-up window. Often the answers are simple if you know where to look. Thanks! :good:

No worries! They changed the menu structure in Nougat so it's more intuitive now.
Probably off topic but does anyone else not like the update they did to the keyboard? No way to remove that search menu row? I have never used the suggestions and wished I could remove it.

Go to input > virtual > Gboard > settings > search and disable it.
It removes the search G but still keeps the row there. See attachment.

Yeah that's true. I can't find an option to disable that. Maybe it's not possible in this update.
I am sort of in the same boat
Hey everyone.
Lastnight I installed, an android 7.0 custom rom to my tab pro 10.1. I used TWRP to flash install the ROM when it installed it automatically rebooted my device before I could go on to Gapps and install them with the the ROM. So when the ROM loaded up I connected to my hub (using the keyboards) then had a look at the new OS and the wife had a look out of interest with me and everything was working well in fact it was quicker than it was when we got it brand new.
Then playtime over rebooted back into TWRP and flashed Gapps. Then it rebooted again. When it finally loaded back in I was met with a loading screen saying Android is Starting which wouldn't go away but it asked me to sign back on to the Hub so went to do this on problem was.....no Keyboard.....so I managed to get into my setting through quick menu settings and find input settings and there is no keyboard installed to the device...it asked me to add one but I can't because I can't type and even if I could the android is starting message is still going.
Please help I am new to this and I want to learn all this type of thing but I am completely puzzled on what to do. I tried clear chase and data and even tried factory reset.....tried installing gapps on twice (before the factory reset) and nothing was working.
I am tough to use odin to flash it back to standard rom and start again but I could do with some pointers with what i have done wrong.
Thanks people

You may wish to ask over in the Galaxy Tab Pro forums at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8 - you've somehow wandered into the Moto G4 forums
But as a very general suggestion - sounds like your GApps isn't happy with your custom ROM. You may have to clean flash your custom ROM again and verify that the GApps you're flashing is suitable for your device/custom ROM.
I agree with you I have just download the same rom and a stock gapps and I had the same message and again with no keyboard.....agian. Difference this time I haven't rushed to do a factory reset and gone back and reflashed the android 7.0 rom and I am back working again with keyboard but no google apps.
Is there a way of installing them a different way, only 2 google apps I use is play store and gmail. I have tried installing a google play store and play services apk but doesn't work. It goes to load and then just stops.....feels like I need a list of apps to get them going.
Hope someone can help
I worked out my problem with Gapps, "android is starting messages" and no keyboard.
1. I needed to wipe my cache, data and davarlik (whatever it says....looks like darlik to me...lol) before and after.
2. Like fella before said my ROM didn't like the Gapps package I had downloaded, so everytime I had the android message I went back on to TWRP and restored back to the orginal point where the lineage ROM worked, then went back on to the net and installed the next Gapps package and repeated till I found a package that worked......that package was the "Micro" package.
Any google apps I was missing I simply just downloaded them via the playstore after.
I realise this is a moto G forum but I find that sometimes you need to go other places to find answers and I had originally looked in the samsung Tab Pro 10.1 forum section and couldn't find anything similar to my problem this fella at the beginning of the thread was the closest to my problem I could fine.
Hope this helps
