So essentially the Second Screen went off and won't come back on after using Greenify and Amplify, any ideas? Dirty install of ROM didn't fix the problem nor did uninstalling Greenify and Amplify.
I wonder if there is leftover app data to delete when you uninstall an app, somewhere in the data directory? Otherwise maybe factory reset?

Here's a really odd one. Sometime, when I reboot, I lose a couple of installed apps! It doesn't happen on every reboot, but it's always the same apps. RSA Secure ID, and Swiftkey. It's insane! I'll add an exposed module or want to flash a kernel and when the system comes back up after the reboot, those apps will be gone! I can restore them fine from TiBu, but why are they disappearing in the first place?!? I can't figure out what's happening.
Any thoughts folks? It's driving me nuts!
Thanks,

Did you manually install these apps or are they from store? Is verify apps enabled in settings? Only reason I can think of as to why they are uninstalling themselves

Hi,
I had a weird problem with an app (The Times and The Sunday Times) on my Xperia Z2 Tablet yesterday. Although I managed to fix it eventually, I was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on what happened.
The tablet had been repaired under warranty. Before I sent it off, I did a full Titanium backup, unrooted, and reset to factory defaults. As part of the repair, Sony updated the firmware from 17.1.1.A.0.402 to 17.1.2.A.0.314 (17.1.2.A.0.314 was released whilst it was out for repair). Both firmwares are based on Android 4.4.2.
I reinstalled all my user apps (not system apps) by restoring a Titanium backup, after which the The Times and The Sunday Times app was working. I used it several times, then yesterday it froze when loading. Killing the app from the recents and opening it again didn't work; this time it wouldn't load (the icon on the Nova Launcher desktop glowed for a few seconds, then nothing happened).
I then tried the following, killing the app from the recents menu before each attempt:
Clearing the app's cache.
Clearing the app's data.
Uninstalling the app and reinstalling.
Uninstalling the app, searching the entire device for the app name using solid explorer (rooted), removing any left over files, and reinstalling the app.
Uninstalling the app, running SD maid, and reinstalling the app.
Rebooting the device.
Still no luck. each time, the app icon would glow when i tapped it, the app would appear in my recent apps list as a black rectangle, but no matter how long I left it (several hours at one point), it just wouldn't load.
In desperation, I restored the app's Titanium backup with data, and it (sort of) worked. The app loaded, and allowed me to log in again (as if I'd just done a fresh install, or restored the app without data).
The weird thing is that the app has not been updated since I made the backup, so the backup version is the same as the version on the Play Store.
Does anyone know why restoring the Titanium backup would work where the troubleshooting steps I took above didn't? Is it possible that the app's data got given some weird permissions at some point that only Titanium, running as root, could sort out?
Thank you in advance!
Looking at the logcat might offer some insights into why it was not launching.
An educated guess would be that TiBu restored/overwrote a file that the other apps/system did not find and wipe and the app itself corrupts a file when launching and only restoring a working one from your backup fixed it.
If you find out what file that is, SD Maid could be updated to cover that and if it's reproduceable, you could also write the dev of the app instruction how to reproduce the issue so he can fix it.
Of course there is always the option that the server/connection was bad and it hang because of that.
Anyone figure out exactly what service causes the second screen to stop working? Since I've got root on MM now I have been tweaking my startup programs.
In lollipop there seems to be a service that if you disable it will stop the second screen from working; re-enabling the services does not restore function of the second screen.
Has anyone identified the specific program on these phones that cause it? I need to know so I dont disable it on accident. Right now I have not touched system services for fear I'll end up with a non-functioning screen again.
So far, I don't know of specific apps. I've been trying to find out for a while before giving up and reset the V10 to get the second screen back in full operation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/screen-t3256541
I just end up removing apps that aren't related to LG. Some AT&T, if not all, were disabled. Didn't have time to just figure out one by one disabling and figuring out which app can kill the second screen.
Do you have xposed installed some people say that it is from xposed
I don't have xposed installed, it was definitely one of the system apps that causes it, the problem is once you disable the app that causes it re-enabling doesn't fix it you have to factory wipe which is why I want to avoid this.
This was when I was under lollipop so I am not 100 positive this behavior happens under rooted marshmallow or not. I'm considering doing a titanium backup and then finding it out myself, was just hoping someone knew.
I've disabled quite a few services and have lucked out and haven't disabled the second screen. I don't intend on freezing or disabling any more apps until someone can identify the app that will do this.

I haven't tried, but I would guess the "Second Screen" app would probably be responsible for it. It's in Titanium Backup.
Urgent help needed adds are popping up, first shows google logo then random add pops up everywhere haven't installed any new apps like wtf what it making it show up?

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.
Hi, i read about the data collection app MLT (LBD) and delete it, now i notice a higher Battery Drain.
I think the System try to restart the App but there is not existing now. And that cause a wakelook in the background.
My question someone delete the app and has disabled the autostart through editing some config in system?
Did you try to freeze it instead?
EDIT: Freezing it made the LDB has stopped working to constantly popup but after restarting I saw reduced battery drain. feels strange hitting the 8 hour screen on time mark. YMMV
I used Titanium Backup.(I also froze mlt.overlay)
You can just go to *#546368*# your model# then go to svc menu/LDB then disable it?
I restore and freeze it.
I feel me Vetter when such apps are deleted.

The first option if to delete
Sometimes the second best approach is to actually edit the app to delete the actual code that you hate and make it return useless values(not bad, there's a difference) to what ever calls for the mlt package.
The third is to freeze it. Keeps it intact but I do also hate it existing in my files.
Looks like the third option is the most practical. Especially for system components or Android in general.
