From what I read, there is essentially an image of your firmware saved in the system memory somewhere; that image will contain everything in your firmware before you start mucking with it, including any apps you remove. When you factory reset, anything in that image gets put back, so you'd have to remove/re-freeze/whatever any apps you removed before the factory reset.

becuase when you do a factory reset after the reset it does a quick reinstall of all apps the the default csc that you have.. and those must be in it.

Hmm. That IS strange. But sounds like it should only be an issue when you do a factory reset, right? How many times do you do a factory reset that this becomes that big of a pain?
Hi Xda's
I recently bought Samsung S3 clone from China
It has a pre installed App called QQ security (is it a good or bad app?????????????????)
I am not sure if its a good app or a app that troubles my phone (It has lot of options but in chinese, it some times blocks certain SMS & also not allowing to install certain files)
I am interested to know if we could do any one of the following to that APP
1. Understand what exactly the menu's in English (Its an fully Chinese APP)
2. If not able understand it can we uninstall it?
Please help
let me know if you need further details
Thanks in advance
QQ Security
Hey there,I just signed up to xda forums just so I could write this reply, tbh I used that application until 2 days ago and I have gone through every setting of it and as far as my understanding went, there was no option to change the language and the uninstalling bit from personal experience, as you said the application pre installed so I would say you need root access to uninstall if the application is installed in the system apps or if its not you could give it a try by finding it in the settings <application <all.
Last but not least are you by any chance able to compile the application and post it here because silly me :/ I accidentally have uninstalled it from my phone and I can't find it on the internet to download anymore and I'm desperate for that application
Cheers
Hey.
First post here!!! But sadly I'm admitting to being a noob...
I recently rooted my galaxy s4 i337 and I heard about deleting bloatware so I was like, "hey that sounds cool!"
Sadly I did not realize the effects that deleting those files could cause to the device... I have factory reset my phone at least 5 times hopping that the deleted files would come back.... but they did not.
My problems are that whenever I pull up s-voice, I comes up with a message saying, "Unfortunately, S-voice has stopped working". I tried re-installing it with files I found from this site but then it started saying that I could not connect to the network so that was a dead end. I also have messages when I do various tasks says, "Unfortunately, Samsung text-to-voice engine has stopped."
I really need help!!! I change my main language text to voice thing to google instead of samsung and that helped a little, but I still get the occasional message and s voice is completely broken. I saw that re installing chat on could help and i downloaded it because I think I may have deleted it, but it made absolutely 0 difference...
Please help!!! Thanks

Hey guys. I have been trying to unlock my htc desire 320 and it appears to be not possible to do so at this time. Google searches pretty much confirm that. Sooooo like a moron I try iroot and framaroot. Iroot said successful and rebooted. It updated the android system on boot. I also had a very real looking system update appear a day before which also did the same thing. My friend with same phone and network didnt receive any such thing. Sketchy business amirite. I have discovered a hidden folder on my root directory which will reappear after deleting it without even rebooting.The folders name is d101m0o7bi1le. It has over 300 sub dirs. I have deleted system cache, and tried factory reset from recovery mode but it will not delete any apps or data. I would like to know how to restore the original rom or how else I could perhaps fix this hook. Thanks for any reply!
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Core Prime sm-g360v and I have rooted with KingRoot. I have had link2sd installed for 6 months now but all of the sudden when I reboot some apps no longer show up in my apps menu or link2sd. A message appears every time I boot about how some functionality is missing and I may need to factory reset (from android system, not from link2sd) but this has appeared before and I had all my apps. The missing apps were random (pubg gone but not other games, etc.) I also had Apps2SD installed so I went there and they did not show up, but their package names DID show up under the recover option. Which is odd, because all my normal apps that showed up there too had their app names and icons, these missing apps only had package name. I tried to restore but it always fails. Can someone please help me out? Not sure if it is an SD corruption problem, and if it is, not sure how to fix it.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated! :good:
Willing to answer any questions that might help figure it out!
