Three chinese apps.. Virus? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

I am not sure if I always had these apps.
Settings -> Manage applications
then I see three apps that says:
星座, 新闻, and (something)
I took a look at them and they have full access to everything:
- Network communication
- Your location
- Your Google accounts
- Phone calls
- system tools
- Your messages
- Services that cost you money
- Your personal information
is this virus or some kind of malware????
I tried formatting and re-install rom.
I tried formatting sdcard and then re-install rom.
But I still see them.
I use myHero 2.0.5 ROM.

haha because HTC is taiwanese, the rom originates from there and thus some of the stock applications have been left on. i got rid of them by using root explorer and deleting them.

[Q] Can't install new apps on my Streak

I've been getting the "unsuccessful install" messages when I try to download a new program from the app store. I tried using appbrain and the "market" applications to download. I have a new streak on ATT purchased from Dell. It worked fine for two weeks. Now it will no longer install any apps.
I'm on 1.6. I am now into almost a week without being able to download new apps. I tried: Restoring the Streak to a week earlier when I thought the app market worked; I uninstalled apps I didn't use that I installed recently; I have over 1gb free in internal memory; I cleared the cache in the appbrain and market apps. I tried everything mentioned in other forums by people with the same problem.
Today I may enter Dell Hell and try to call tech support. Any other ideas? I really don't want to do a factory reset since it will wipe out all my programs. If it doesn't work then I will still not be able to download and have no new programs, although I guess at that point I could do another "restore" to get them back.
Anybody have any other ideas before I try the phone call?
I've tried a lot of the suggested solutions (clear cache, turn airplane mode on and off, unmount sd card, format sd card, rebooting many times, playing around with google talk...).
What worked for me in the end - uninstalling the market updates (NOT the updater) - from options > applications ... I've lost options like automatic updates and "update all" but at least i can now update *at* all and install apps.
I wonder when does Market get "upgraded" again...

I don't see where you do what you are talking about. There is no "options" under applications and there is no "options" option from the home screen either. I am confused as to where you get to this.
I figured out how to do it. Thanks, that did it, amazing!
glad it helped.
In the meantime my Market got upgraded back again and so far it seems working...
How do you know it got upgraded and and does it do it automatically?
Because the features like "update all" and comments on a separate tab are back again.
And yes, it does so automatically (as it is a core system appliacation, it does whatever it - or Google - wants).

I Don't find The market updates! were I can find?
I go to settings/applications/manage applications/ ? but I don't find(the closest thing is market & Market Updater)
Options > Applications > Manage applications > Market > Uninstall updates
...or something similar.

[Q] I am a build addict.. what are my auto-install options ?

- - - Seeking the equivalent of Sashimi and SKTracker - - -
Hi,
I installed Froyo Sense 2.2 on my HD2 for the first time yesterday and expect I will be playing around with different builds for a long time until I find 'perfection'.
As a serial WinMo ROM addict, I used to use Sahsimi to back up and re-apply all of my application installs, customisations, skinning, license key input, WiFi and webmail settings etc.. etc.. . So literally after installing a ROM, I can have all of my apps and customisations re-applied within minutes...
But is there an equivalent for Android out there ?
- Is my google tie in aware of my installed applications and will it auto-install them again ?
- Where does Android store installs ?
- Can purchased installs be re-applied without any DRM restrictions ?
- Is there an equivalent of Sashimi (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538513). I know on WinMo there are quite a few apps that let you re-installs Cabs, registry edits and XML's
- Are there any application watcher tools that will allow me to find out where applications specific customisations are installed ? The equivalent I'm using on WinMo are SKTracker and MobileMon
Any advice would be appreciated.
- Is my google tie in aware of my installed applications and will it auto-install them again ?
-- Generally yes, every new build I've used recently (last 3 or 4 weeks or so, never checked before) will automatically try and redownload from the market whatever you had before.
- Where does Android store installs ?
-- Not 100% sure I understand but all Android data (sms, apps/games/saves etc) are stored in your /Android/data.img on the SD card.
- Can purchased installs be re-applied without any DRM restrictions ?
-- Theoretically yes, cannot guarantee 100% but it's tied to your google account so in theory it's a yes.
- Is there an equivalent of Sashimi (http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260). I know on WinMo there are quite a few apps that let you re-installs Cabs, registry edits and XML's
-- Your best bet for that will be Titanium backup. Looks complex once you first open it, but read the wiki (google will help you there) and you'll realise it's actually very simple.
- Are there any application watcher tools that will allow me to find out where applications specific customisations are installed ? The equivalent I'm using on WinMo are SKTracker and MobileMon
-- Not entirely sure on that one afraid, it's not something I've really looked into.
Thanks for the details. I'll look up Titanium Backup.
One thing I have noticed, upon installing a Marketplace App if I clicking onSettings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> [select the application]
... then there is the option of 'Move to SD Card'.
To me this suggests that all Marketplace installs default to the phone's internal memory.... correct me if I'm wrong.
But I'm not sure if this is the installer for the app or the application itself.
Ideally, I would like to have the installer on my SD card and application installed to the destination of my choice.
One thing I've noticed is that the Market downloads installers to \sdcard\download. They're not named with the original filename, but there's a manifest xml file inside where you can see what file it was.
This way, you can keep backups of all your installers from the Market.
Just copy the ones you want into the AndroidApps folder of the new build and it will automatically install them for you.
This should help make the process a little smoother

[Q] Unable to delete Google account.

Platform: HTC-HD2
Dual boot: Windows mobile 6.5 & Android 2.2
Android build: FroyoStone Sense V2
Problem: Unable to delete third party Google account from device under Android 2.2.
Bought this phone unlocked from ebay .
Have tried steps under settings/Accounts & sync/Google/ remove account/ only get a massage asking to go to settings, under privacy and reset the phone, which have not been able to find. The only place I’ve found which allows you to delete accounts and personal data is under Settings/ SD & phone storage /Factory data reset. I’ve tried repeatedly resetting phone from that selection and still will not remove Google account or the third party Gmail account which persistently pops up asking me to sign in.
Please advice.
Anything on the Android build you need? Personally, I'd be hesitant on running it if I bought from ebay. I'd flash a new WM rom (and radio if needed) and then download my preference of Android builds. (Directions for all this are on the forums).
Clear defaults and cache inside setting/applications
i just had the same issue with a used hd2 i bought with the dual boot...answer was just giving to me earlier on this site. go into file explorer in windows, sd card>android and delete the data img file and boot up heret.. it will create a new data img with a fresh copy of android.. it will take a few mins longer then usual when booting up android as its creating a new image..and you should be good to go..

(Q) Unable to delete primary google account

Platform: HTC-HD2
Android 2.2 DFT (31-12-2010)
Problem: Unable to delete primary Google account from device under Android 2.2.
Got this phone from a friend, but his google account is still linked at Market. I already created a new one for myself, but I can't install any apps, due to the linkage between his google account and Market. t
Did already tried steps under settings/Accounts & sync/Google/ remove account/ only get a massage asking to go to settings, under privacy and reset the phone, which have not been able to find. The only place I’ve found which allows you to delete accounts and personal data is under Settings/ SD & phone storage /Factory data reset. I’ve tried repeatedly resetting phone from that selection and still will not remove Google account. Resetting by deleting img-file on /sd/android works either, since there is no such file there...
Anyone a solution?
Thanks!
same problem
I just picked up a HD2 cheap just so I could play with the Android part of it..Love playing with phones so I'm not a pro quite yet but it sounds like maybe you need to re-install Android 2.2 with DFT. That should give you a clean fresh rom install. Like I said, I just started on the HD2 so I might be wrong but it might be worth a shot.
There are different ways to do it.
I would suggest to make a fresh install of your chosen rom.
If you want to keep existing rom then you need to answear this. What magldr version are you using? (To check the version, turn off phone, turn on and then quickly after hold power button till you get to magldr, check version, post it here.)

Think I deleted android calendar system app by accident - help!

Running out of internal storage for apps on my ZTE Blade MiniQ running android 4 .2 .2 I rooted it using Kingroot and then used Titanium backup to delete bloat ware.
BUT I selected something by accident but thought I'd managed not to delete it - now I think I must have! :crying:
I use google calendar sync'd with business calendar on my phone - it shows no calendars available.
I've installed the google calendar app - but it says my calendars can't be displayed cos calendar storage has been disabled - there is link to enable in setting - app info flashes up and then settings stops working.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling accounts, even a factory reset - nothing is working.
Have seen an old post about this but the link to 4share is no longer working
Has someone got a ink to the right file - and can tell me how to get it back on my phone I'd be extremely grateful
(I did delete lots of stuff like google play newstand - but think that should be ok - and no I didn't back up - cos I am an idiot! -or rather was only planning on getting rid of bloat ware)
The calendar is the one of the main things I use on my phone ....
1.download stock rom for Q mini from official ZTE site
2.extract this from ur stock rom:
-CalendarImporter.apk
-CalendarImporter.odex
-CalendarProvider.apk
-CalendarProvider.odex
3.copy/paste it in system/app and change permissions to rw r r
4.reboot
