So I recently rooted my VS996 V30 using the TWRP and Magisk guide and got it to unlock and root with no problem whatsoever. The issue is now that whenever I create a new user on the phone, there is a service ran that downloads and installs a bunch of games and apps and it is very annoying. It did not install these on my main user profile initially, only whenever I create new ones. Whenever I go to settings and go to apps, selecting these apps reveals that they were installed through "Mobile Services Manager." I figured that if I went back on my main user profile and uninstalled Mobile Services Manager that this would no longer occur. I did this and as soon as I created a new user again, the service self-installed itself and proceeded to install all the apps along with it. How can I remove these auto-installations?

So anyways,
I was using dsixda's kitchen to cook VillainROM 5.4 (add & remove a few things here and there).
Wiped data and dalvik prior to flashing and then flashed the ROM which went fine. Upon first boot, phone stuck and white-green htc logo so I took out the battery and rebooted and then it booted fine. Added my gmail account in the setup wizard, connected & synced.
Now this is where weird begins. Somehow, official Facebook app apeared in my app list, and Market was only showing free apps, and it should show all apps. So I went to check /data/app folder and sitting there is com.android.vending.apk. New Market apk that somehow magicaly appeared out of thin air. Also, my Market download list shows all my previously installed apps and among those, Facebook as already installed and with an update available. WTF!?
Can anyone explain to me what just happened? This didn't happen with untouched VillainROM 5.4.
Market is linked with Google account, so could be that?

Sure, but I've never seen Market app auto update itself. What's up with that? It essentially blocks me from having all apps in market.
Okay, I found out what was the problem.
It seems that there's an update to Market app to version 1.713 which silently installs without user approval.
To anyone having trouble with this new version blocking access to paid apps, go to Manage Applications -> Market and select "Uninstall update". After that, remove MarketUpdater.apk from /system/app folder (pull it before doing it, in case something weird happens)
I have unlocked the bootloader of my new AT&T HTC One 64 GB, installed CWM and rooted.
When I started my phone, google play stated that there were updates to a lot of apps (like Chrome, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon kindle etc) which are all system apps. So I went ahead, updated them. Then as usual, I went to titanium backup and integrated the updates into rom/system. I cleaned Dalvik and cahce. When I restarted, google play said again that the same apps are out of date and wanted to re-update them. And sure enough when I checked versions on them, they were the old ones.
So decided to go the "make these system apps normal apps" e.g. move them out of the rom to data, update, move them back to system app directory. Same problem here, after a restart old versions in the rom showed up again.
Then I decided to un-install the apps. When I un-install them through titanium backup, after a restart they are back.
Like a bad nightmare.... Any ideas?

Same for me :
My ATT HTC One is unlocked and rooted already with CWM no-touch installed.
I installed ES File explorer as well as Titanium Backup Pro and gave both root privileges when they asked for them via Super SU
I can "Uninstall", via titanium backup, all the bloatware apps but when I reboot they come back.
Similarly, through ES File explorer I run the root explorer section and choose to uninstall system apps. I then successfully remove the bloatware, but it again comes back upon reboot.
Are there any other methods I can try or any successful bloatware removals for the One from anybody here? Is it a matter, as another thread about the Incredible suggested, a matter of the kernel not allowing writes to the /system while running? If so, how do I remove bloatware from Recovery?
Thanks!
any we need a kernel that allowed writing to the /system to stop this htc added some new code
It's because the kernel does not allow the /system partition to be modified. You need to flash a kernel that has the security disabled. I'm running the Renovate rom from the Intl One forums and that kernel has security disabled and works fine on the AT&T version
New HTC One owner here. Unlocked it, got TWRP and superuser working no problem. I like to keep my devices neat and orderly so I typically like to integrate system app updates into the Rom to leave storage for additional apps. I tried this today with titanium backup and it appeared to succeed (said it did anyway) and apps that I had done so with forced closed as they usually do. Problem is I rebooted afterwards and was met with apps force closing and all of the apps I had just integrated had updates available in the play store. It appears all titanium did was drop the originally installed updates. Anyone have any experience with this on the One? I've done this millions of times with other devices and roms and never had an issue before.

I get a similar problem with One X+, rooted, with TWRP and SuperSU installed (but not Busybox):
I tried to integrate Facebook update and after TB says "succeded", the app disappeared!
I had to install the update again from the Google Play, than Facebook started working again,
without asking to log in (which probably means that the app was just hidden, not deleted ..)
any ideas?
thanks, STe
i have the same problem with my htc one .......after 3 days i can delete apps but i cant integrate apps
I have a Virgin Mobile LG Optimus F3 and I rooted it a while back, after thus it kept nagging me to update to the V6 firmware.
I then went and got "Disable Service" and used that on "Google Services Framework". All was well... for a time.
I don't know what happened or what I installed, but now the damn thing has come back like a zombie and won't die. I even used "Disable Service" again and it keeps re-enabling itself somehow.
A. Has anyone had this problem and managed to kill the System Update once and for all, again.
B. Is there a way to see what is enabling the service in the GSF so I can either uninstall it or disable that.
C. If there is no solution, is there a modified GSF floating around with the update service/Update permission patched to off.
Things I've tried are:
Disable Service
AutoStars (older program)
Rom Toolbox (Autostar manager)
Lucky Patcher (Change the apk, rebuild and install) -> This fails as it says it's installed the rebuilt APK but it never does and I have to re-unbackup from Titanium
Things that work but are not a real solution:
Titanium Backup -> Freeze the damn thing
I would like to be able to go into the Play Store whenever I want without having to keep unfreezing it. It also prevents programs from updating automagically.
Was there ever a solution to this? The update notifications are driving me nuts.

I'm using a Sony Ericsson X10 mini (not rooted) that still suffices quite ok. However, after a while it tends to become slow. What I periodically do to make the device again a bit faster is reinstall the original firmware using Sony PC Companion. This re-installs the latest available firmware for the X10 mini, being 2.1-update1 (kernel version 2.1.1.A.0.6).
The last time I reinstalled the firmware I ran into an issue. After the installation I got to work installing a few apps. I noticed that all the apps that I install keep showing up in the market as "Installing", even though they are already installed and working properly. Switching the device off and on doesn't help. Also clearing the cache of Android Market did not resolve this. All these apps remain showing as "installing" in the market app.
I also noticed that the version of Android Market that I currently have is not the version of Android Market that I had before reinstalling the firmware. As far as I know, Google Play is not available on Android 2.1, but I definitely remember that I had a newer version of Android Market installed on Android 2.1 than the one that is installed now. From previous re-installations I remember that the device at some point would mention that Android Market needs to be updated. The same goes for some of the pre-installed apps such as Facebook and Google Maps. However, this time it does not give such a message at all. Opening Android Market also does not trigger any update at all. Also going into the settings and looking for updates does not trigger any update. Is there any way to force android to update the market and the pre-installed apps?
When I open Android Market and look in the "Downloads" section, it shows a list of all the apps that I had installed on the device previously. When I check play.google.com on my PC, it lists the same apps, but they show as "installed" on my phone. Even though I have not installed them yet. And I cannot find any way to remove these apps from the "My Apps" section on play.google.com. Could this be interfering with the android market app on my phone?
Is there any way to trigger Android to update the Android market and the other pre-installed apps? I'm very hesitant to go and root the device, that still appears to me as a lot of work. Especially since I know that it used to work correctly previously.
A small update in case somebody in the future encounters the same problem:
To find out whether it really is my Google account that interferes, I have opened a completely new Gmail account, and used that when setting up the phone after the firmware re-installation. And lo and behold: within a few minutes after the initial setup of the phone, the market application was suddenly replaced with version 2.3.6. No notification whatsoever, it was just suddenly there. I don't know the version number of the old Market app that I had. Somehow, the version numbering that is used in the application manager is different than the "2.3.6" formatting. The version number that is shown in settings>application manager went from 2002009. to 2002306.
Having the updated Market app, I wanted to relink the phone with my normal Gmail account. However, I found that apparently, you can only sync with a different Gmail account by resetting the entire phone, so that I have the original problem again. But at least the fact that the Market app updated itself allowed me to copy the updated market .apk file so that I could manually update the market after reinstalling the firmware. And having installed the new Market app, it also recognized the pre-installed aps such as Google Maps.
It should have been possible to delete your new gmail account in th settings app and add your old one. Failing that, doing a factory reset would have deleted all the user-data but still have kept the updated market-app.
