[Q] Facebook app virus

hello...ive been on the resurrection remix rom for galaxy s2 for quite a sometime...but now there has been a problem with the facebook app
i think its a virus
as soon as i open the app or some other app tries to access facebook app, it crashes and the message box show "Unfortunately, (app name) has stopped."
After this the launcher crashes with the same message. And the message seems to pop up immediately again when i press ok
So basically i have to restart my phone and not use the facebook app to keep it working
I cant uninstall the app from the app settings or clear the app data or cache
i cant disable the app
And the running app shows facebook with 1 process and 3 services
process: facebook com.facebook.katana
services:media upload service, event service and background detection service
I had a similar problem after which i flashed the rom again. The phone and app worked fine for a couple of days but the same problem came again now.

Hmm..to remove fb Just use an application which is not stock installer dependant, like I use One Click Uninstall feature of ES File Explorer which will uninstall the app, or you can use Titanium Backup to uninstall or you can do it manually by going to /system/app and deleting the FB apk via root explorer or by enabling rw permission via ES File Explorer's tools menu.

wiped dalvik
downloaded root explorer and deleted the apk file in data/app folder
The icon is still there and when i click on it, it gives the same message com.facebook.katana has stopped but the app doesn't open now
Should i reinstall now or have to do something more to remove the icon first?
My suggestion is:
Go to CWM Recovery (Home+Power+Vol Up)
There wipe cache, dalvik-cache, /system, data + factory set)
Then reboot system again and if you sign in with your google account in which you have downloaded FB... cancel the procedure when facebook.apk is automatically getting installed in your phone

[GUIDE] How to fix and upgrade Google Play Services

[GUIDE] How to fix and upgrade Google Play Services
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This Guide is designed for people, who are having problems with the GoogleApps_GearCM_CM9_20140711 package.
Only for CyanogenMod 9.1 - BroadcomCM Beta 5, but might help other people too.
Error Messages
If you get one of the following errors, you have installed a Google Apps Package which was signed with old certificates.
Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID.
This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone.
The Problem
You cannot fix this error by installing/updating Google Play Services, because there is a conflict with the "shared user id".
The Solution
The "shared user ids" are stored in this file "/data/system/packages.xml".
Therefore it is very important that you don't delete the google apps manually with a Root Explorer.
Because in this case, the "shared user ids" are not getting deleted in the "packages.xml".
You should uninstall the Google Apps with the App Manager of the ES File Explorer.
Download it from the Play Store
Start the app and open the left toolbar
Go to "Tools" -> "App Manager"
Select "System Apps" from the top menu
Select the following apps (one by one) and hit uninstall and then click OK
/system/app/GooglePlayStore.apk (com.android.vending) (Google Play Store)
/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (com.google.android.syncadapter.contacts) (Google Contacts Sync)
/system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk (com.google.android.gsf.login) (Google Account Manager)
/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk (com.google.android.gsf) (Google Services Framework)
/system/app/NetworkLocation.apk (com.google.android.location) (Network Location)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will uninstall the apps correctly and the "packages.xml" gets also updated correctly.
Next Step
Afterwards reboot into recovery and wipe the cache.
Then install my updated Google Apps Package, which you can find here.
Final Step
After installing my updated Google Apps Package, reboot your device and go to the System Settings, and add your Google Account.
After clicking the "Add Account" button, there might be a bug, where the Google Icon is black and the text is not visible.
Just click the line which is completely dark, and configure your Google Account. Afterwards the Icon should re-appear.

Google Apps are updated automatically after you have installed a Google Apps Package.
Worked for me, thanks. Needed to enable Root Explorer in ES File Explorer (it's a toggle in the left-sidebar) and had to download ES Task Manager. Network Location system app didn't exist on mine (Android 4.4.4) but the fix still worked. Since I'm using CM11, I just re-installed their GApps zip package from Recovery.
Easy fix without reboot

What I did is went to settings apps, then I went to running apps, Google play services said it had 2 running service's, I opened it up and to find 7 were running and causing conflicts between the authentication and the service itself. I stopped all the services which is just like reciting because they restart. Phone works again no reboot, try this for a quick fix next time to save your day. Sincerely Jacob.

Unable to install application

I am unable to install the application "WeChat". I can install and uninstall all other apps except for this one. I can't even recover it from titanium backup or install it using an apk. Google Play store gives me error 504. I've tried all the solutions from Google and none of it has worked. Does Xposed have to do anything with this?
The 504 error code appears while attempting to download apps or games in the Google Play Store. This is a gateway timeout error and is generally associated with slower internet connections or mobile data networks. Simple fix that worked for some is turning your mobile data off and then back on. You can try it now by turning your Airplane mode on and then off or by going to settings >> data usage >> turn off Mobile data and turn it back on. Now try to download or update the app via Google Play. If that didn’t work, some users have even solved the Google Play Store error 504* by freeing some space in their android device by uninstalling unwanted apps or games.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA mobile app
It seems like that specific app has been blocked somehow. I uninstalled Xposed and I was able to install it again. I reinstalled xposed and the app doesn't have access to the storage and system

Unbranded Android TV - No android settings app

Hi everyone,
I have an unbranded (sticker brand) Android TV that apparently has a custom firmware with almost everything modified, with the most annoying thing is that they have completely removed the stock Android settings app and replaced it with a custom settings app that has hardly any options. That prevents by from doing even basic stuff such as cleaning app's cache and data. Using ES Task Manager I've verified that they actually removed the settings app and not just the launcher link.
Is there any way I can get the native settings app into the device? Is there any alternative settings app that does a good job? I can install apks from unknown sources but no ADB (no hardware connection to PC).
Also, any rooting advice will also be appreciated but this is not critical. I have no ADB but the Android version is 4.4.2 and not really updated so exploit-based roots may work.
Bump
Hi,
Did you find any solution?
i'm even not able to boot in recovery mode
Try this
Hidden Settings For Android - Apps on Google Play
It can open practical settings which some phone vendors hide for user
play.google.com

Strange. You or something has changed settings. Doesn't happen on its own.
Check your default apps and that it is set correctly:
Settings>>>App Management>>>>Default App
Check Phone is set to "system default". If not go into the list and select.
Hope that works.
If not...looks like a factory reset or update via recovery
Had the same issue.
I fixed it by going into "Settings>>>App Management>>>>Default App" and then change the System Launcher back to the default one that comes with the phone. I was using Microsoft Launcher before. Then, find the Phone Manager app and run it.
This is absolutely stupid. No idea why you can't run the same app in a different launcher. Oh well.
hii
a common issue
Sometimes the phone manager App doesn't come pre-installed, install it from play store.
For me, I clicked phone manager and then a message came out: Error 101. What is that?

A quick search helps:
Solve Error Code 101 in Google Play Store
The error 101 occurs due to the memory issue, which can be ROM / SD-card storage / Cache memory. But this error mostly gets solved by deleting some unused apps or by freeing the SD card memory.
Solution 1: Free memory card space by deleting unused Apps or content. Also, free up the Phone internal storage. It should solve the problem.
Solution 2: Remove the Google Account and open the Play store again and log in.
Solution 3: Uninstall Play store Updates Go To Settings Select Manage Applications or APPS Manager Tap on ALL Scroll and Look for “Google Play Store” Clear Cache and Data Click on Force Stop Select Uninstall Updates Reboot you phone and try again
Solution 4: Clearing cache and Data for Google Apps Go to Settings Select to Application Manager or Apps Under All , look for Google Services Framework Clear Data Cache and Click Force Stop NOW do the Same With Google PLAY STORE, Google Play Services, Download Manager Reboot your Phone, it should be working fine now.
