So.. I deleted everything that I wanted to delete... problem is when you got to Manage Apps in settings it still shows but now its com.android.packagename and when you click on it it says application not found.
Anyway to take this out?
is no one else having this problem or something? or simply dont care?
Can you throw me list of what you removed ?
I had the same **** right after i removing all unwanted apps from the phone. Needed to reflash the phone in order to get it run propelly again, and after that did bit less "heavy handed" cleaning on the phone... Afaik i noticed, its those Google's apps that coused it... (gtalk or somethink like that)
Well I removed all the apps that I didn't want and it stayed in Settings > manage apps menu. So I reflashed again and deleted one this time (Alarm Clock, for testing purposes). Rebooted then went into the menu and it shows com.android.alarmclock, so the phone thinks its still there but its not anymore.. because when you try to go to it, it says Application Not found and kicks you out of the menu
/data/system/packages.xml
Thanks man..

Has anyone had success removing Facebook completly? I've removed many other system apps without problem but even after removing htc.facebook.apk and htc.facebook.odex from System and facebook.katana.apk (not exact name, it was something like that) from Data I've still got the FB icon in the app drawer. When I click it says "the linked program is no longer installed" but still remains.
Of course I can't try a reboot with no perma root. It seems weird that just FB would have that problem. All my other removed app icons are gone completly. It sounds like a minor thing but it really irks me! It's my phone and I want it to be how I want it.
why would you remove such a integral portion of our generation.

Just uninstall it with titanium backup
Edit: Moved to themes and apps
Turns out it had been correctly uninstalled but Sense still had it cached or something. Force stopped Sense and when it restarted FB was gone
Yesterday my phone ran out of battery and it took me a while to get back to my charger. I came back late and I put my phone to recharge over night. I wake up and start my phone and it's like it's never been used before. It has done some sort of reset by itself. All these help popups comes up about how to use slides and motion etc etc. My gmail account is not registered to my phone anymore. I go through my applications and now I start to realize that something is seriously wrong.
Some of my apps are missing on my home screen and when I look for them they seem to be uninstalled, so I try to install these apps again and get the "unknown error code during application install -24" error. This is the case for 3 of my paid applications. Portfolio stocks, swift key and maps with me.
I have more problems though, 50 % of all my apps that are still installed will not even start, like all of my games for example, Every time I try to start one of these I get "Unfortunately, application has stopped" This is also the case for some other apps like skype and spotify. Most of my apps have completely dropped the app settings and information. All my whats app conversations are gone for example and my number isn't even registered anymore.
Some apps still have the icon on my home screen but when I try to start these (like googles for example) it says "application not installed" even though the icon is there.
So as you can tell there some major problem has occurred when my phone turned itself of yesterday.
Now I'm afraid my phone ****ed itself up to much to actually be recovered with is a ***** but I'm wondering how the hell could this happen? What kind of information has deleted itself and why is this possible?
And is there anything you guys think I can do except resetting the whole device. My phone is not rooted and I regret not making backups.....
I have a galaxy s3 I9300 with android 4.1.2

factory reset. don't know why it happened
I downloaded and used secdroid from F-droid. After applying it, my phone has a lot of weird problem, like it shows the root status is gone for some application (while some still has root). And some apps have missing feature too.
I have reset factory settings but the damage secdroid has done is not gone....
This thing really sucks as it does not let you revert what it does.
I seem to have accidentally done something possibly using TB, but I'm not sure about that, on my phone (I never deleted/moved the icon it made on my home screen) because I had picked it up and then when I looked at it TB said "all done _______" or something to that effect. I didn't get to see what it said it had done, but now I have no contacts, no phone history... no I don't know what else.
Is there a way to check a log of TB activity so I can at least know what it did?
Also, when I went into the phone settings it said "Unavailable" for my Phone Storage and Internal Storage. After rebooting my phone storage is saying it has 7.33GB available so I think it was wiped (pretty sure it had a lot less space before)? When I try to go into Contacts > Phonebook it force closes and says "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped.".
ADDED ON EDIT: I also notice that my lock screen doesn't have any app icons on it anymore. It used to.
I have contacts backed up from a little bit ago so I can add the half a dozen new ones, but I'd really like to know what it did. My messages are all still there so it didn't wipe that. Apps seem to all be there with current data.
Oh, I think I backed up my contacts to Google recently. I don't usually do that but I think I was asked if I wanted to and I said yes a little bit ago. No idea where to find them or how to restore from there... any tips? Otherwise I'll grab my backup from June.
Thanks!

Is it by chance Google Assistant or just the Google App? Can you post a screenshot of the advertisement your seeing?
If in doubt try factory data resetting the phone. I would suggest this combined with an antivirus/malware scanner (at the very least the latter if you don't plan on factory resetting the phone). A factory data reset basically resets everything back to default and removes all your apps. Set your phone backup, install some sort of antimalware/antivirus app and then pay particular attention to what apps you install. If the issue happens again take note of what apps you installed last/recently (cuz they might be the cause).
Don't do factory reset,download Malwarebytes eecurity,u will get 1 month free,then choose "use deep scanner during full scan" from the settings,it will detect and kill the malware nd adware
Chack the apps with an "overlay permisson"
Got it fixed had running Malwarebytes and Samsung owns antivirus both got nothing, i cleaned Google cache, reset their app data, removed few apps and its gone thankfully, have no idea where it would come.
The picture attached is "Estonian language" but yeah it would close my apps and show the add when I click show recent apps shows "Google play services" and then it immediately deletes itself.
