I recently took a screenshot that revealed another background window behind a warning message window that says "Hello world, PM EasyView!"
Is this some kind of malware? I tried scanning my phone with Lookout Security and it did not detect anything suspicious.
It all began when all of a sudden my stock 2.2.2 Defy's Task Manager kept showing popup messages telling me that my Hotmail app is running for too long and is consuming memory. This never happened before, ie. Task Manager app showing warning messages about apps running for too long. I suspect a malware infestation. Please advise.

If you are scared that you are infected by malware the only "safe" thing to do is a full data wipe.
You dont have clockworkmod installed do you? Would be helpfull to have a full copy of the system to analyze it. I think clockworkmod would be a perfekt method to get a copy of the whole system.
sorry i don't know how to solve this. maybe it's time for you to change to some other ROMs...

Well not exactly scared but I was just wondering about the origin of that "Hello world" message. "PMEasyView"? I wasn't able to find any app or developer by that name among the apps installed on my phone. Just was wondering if anyone here knew thats all. I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick, does it install Clockworkmod too? Or do I have to do it separately?

I did install CM 7.1(2.3.7) but I didn't quite like it..I mean don't get me wrong..CM 7.1 is awesome but the ADW launcher kept crashing on me, something was eating up the battery way to fast and this is weird but I found that the sound quality(headphone and speaker) had actually deteriorated..maybe I didn't get some settings right but anyways I decided to roll back to the Motorola stock 2.2.2 froyo JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7 and wait until CM9 was out.
Thanks for the replies guys..really appreciate you taking the time.

If adw doesn't work for you, you can download another one from the market. I use go launcher and it works without any problems and damn fast. You should give it a try.

Well it's typical behavior of mallware - I dont have information, that stock task manager will inform you, that some process is running more than x minutes ... try wipe to factory settings and you'll be sure.
Rooting doesn't install Clockworkmod. You only get superuser after rooting. Install 2nd-init and you get Clockworkmod.
You should start using Droidwall and AVG antivirus pro. Try limit the data freedom running in the background.
Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll wait for CM9. I do have Droidwall installed and I've scanned my phone thoroughly with Lookout Security but nothing was detected. Is it possible that the firmware posted here, the 2.2.2 India one is somehow infected?

I took another screenshot of the supposed malware today, this time without the task manager message. I was able to dismiss the task manager message by pressing the search key somehow.
I have seen exactly that same message today. I thought I have been fairly careful about Malware. However, there was an update that was installed from marketplace today.
I wonder if it is possible to look at an update history.

Is the message window in your case appearing under the exact same circumstances as mine? Which ROM are you using? And also if its possible could you do an inventory of the all the apps installed on your phone, then perhaps we can pinpoint the source. Thanks for the reply.

I've been having a really tough time downloading apps today. I switched back from another phone I was using. the apps hang after downloading but wont install. These are all apps I already have but need to update.
I've searched and searched and so far have tried the following:
1) cancel and restart
2) reboot phone
3) go to apps and clear the download manager
4) log into Google talk & sign out sign in etc
5) force close market
It's driving me crazy. It'll show it's downloading in the notification bar and then abruptly stop..then it'll show in market that it's installing but it's not really doing anything.
I'd really like some help with this please. I'm running stock rooted ji6.

I had a similar issue, buy instead of "downloading" it said "installing". I installed the new market that just came out and everything is all set now.
i can't anything to download...it started this morning but worked fine last night. i was on eugenes ginger clone rom and the market just stopped downloading things...it says starting download, then the bar disappears, but the notification bar still says its downloading...then once its done in the status bar..........nothing. the app isn't installed and it doesnt say download complete...just........nothing.
anyone else? i even tried going back to nero beta 3. i've literally tried everything to get it to download. name it and i've tried it...
Did you try to odin it back to stock, then flash a new rom?

That's how mine was behaving. I went to apps and market and did "uninstall updates" and it lagged and force closed a couple times and it eventually worked. This phone always lags when installing an app. My Motorola defy never had issues with market.

i had the issue. I basically had to stop all apps from updating, and do them one by one and even then it was a pain. You may need to just try a few times. Everytime I hit update all, thats when I have the issue. I just do it the old school way one by one, and keep trying if it dont work. Lol
Odd, but I had this issue yesterday when trying another new rom.
What I did was immediately after accepting the permissions and being brought back to the My Apps/Download screen where it shows all the apps, was to IMMEDIATELY click right back on the app....
for some unknown reason this was the only way I was able to update about 5 apps yesterday... never had an issue before.
Clearing the market data is also a popular fix as previously mentioned.
If someone can try my method I would be curious to hear feedback... I was amazed this worked its so simple/odd.
Hello, all
I just flashed my 1 week old Acer A500 with a light rom. Now, I am trying to install all the apps I like.
One of my favorite apps is LumiRead. I can't find it anywhere in the market. So, I think this is a stock app for acer. I know there are other readers out there. However, I read LOTS of text files in foreign languages. I tried all different kinds of readers the whole morning. I just couldn't find one with 2 page view, easily change font size, and large book cover at the main page.
For you smart ROM developers, is it possible to extract this LumiRead from the stock ROM. If I don't have LumiRead, I may have to go back to the stock ROM. I don't want that, because it is just slloooooow.
Thanks everyone!!
Here ya go!
awesome-ness!!! You are the BEST!
Oh no. I just tried to install it. It tried to install, then, it says, "X(red x) Application not installed." nooooooo

You have root correct?
If so, try copying both files to system/app reboot, and if necessary reinstall
Hum, I assume it is rooted, because it is a custom ROM. This is the ROM I installed, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188253.
I tried to use gingerbreak to root it, but it just sitting there, loading...
I tried to copy the lumi files to system/root. it says it failed to copy.

Umm it was system/app, not root. Set root explorer to r/w before pasting.
Over and out.
if you want to try this, I have installed without problems on a acer liquid and on my a501 with taboonay 2.2
Thanks for the quick reply!
It does not work. Root Explorer got the files copied over, still fail to install.
THANKS, tresed. IT WORKS!!
ahhh... nevermind... it installed... but when i try to open it...
The application LumiRead (process com.decomedia.android.acer.monet) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

why not try taboonay
ahhh, i wonder if it is the rom's fault....
I don't mind trying out taboonay. all i want is to run a little faster.
which taboonay to try? sorry, I am new to this.
if you have not installed many applications and does not have important data. test with a wipe data and reinstal the apk
taboonay is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138051
Btw, you can find this app in Androonay Kitchen
You just need to be register.
I was looking for LumiRead also, as I had a bunch of books in it when I changed roms. However, after having a hard time finding it I downloaded Aldiko, which I used once before. It's a great alternative and it's more logical to use. Maybe try that one out, too - you might like it.
I updated a few days ago to mje and had to Reroot my phone. Anyways since then I've been getting this alert in the notification bar. It appears to be a legit vzw app. When I click it, it asks me to scan my phone for malicious stuff. I froze it yesterday and it stopped but I wasn't sure if it's something worth keeping. Anybody else getting this?
MJC
Wow am I the only one?
I had un froze it last night and scanned with it. But last night I had some major battery drain, I look at the stats and this app was at the top with 53%. So I froze it again and won't be un freezing.
MJC
Yeah, if your rooted you definitely need to get rid of that program. Because superuser is a system modification, and it is detecting it as such.
♢NoteIII♢
I've been getting this nonstop since I rooted about an 3 hours ago. I wanted to avoid freezing any apps (cuz I forget later when OTAs come up and don't want to flash/wipe jus to fix it) is there any other ways to fix it? I'm sure other people are getting this when rooting.
Actually, there is. there's a new xposed mod called RootCloak. It's available in the xposed installer download section. What happens is once you activate it, you choose which APK's you want to hide superuser from. It keeps that app from knowing your phone is rooted. I use it for Flixster , because currently Flixster will not stream movies onto a rooted phone. I just found it and it works like a champ!
♢NoteIII♢
I installed root cloak but I don't see that app listed on it, at least not under the same name. Anyone know what I should select to cloak it?
MJC
Do you have tibu? I'll answer as if you just said yes. (I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but this is what I got)
I don't have this app, so I will use Backup Assistant plus as an example. In titanium backup go to the app, and click on it

Just recently, I've been getting fullscreen google ads pop up on my phone. This usually happens when I hit the back button out of an app. An example of the fullscreen ad is shown below:

I've done a bit of searching online and haven't found a fix other than deleting all third party apps and gradually reinstalling apps one by one seeing if they're the one causing the ads to pop up. This seems a bit time consuming! Does anyone here know what's causing these ads and how to remove them?
Much thanks in advance!
Hello,
What is your launcher?Can you list all your app ( with a print screen maybe!)
Adaway helped me get rid of all these ads. (Though, it was pre-installed in my previous ROM).

Couldn't find Adaway in Google Play Store, but found an .apk for it on another site. Ended up getting, "Your device is not rooted," errors, even though my phone is in fact rooted. Strange.

Try to find some guides on Google to get this application. If you're so annoyed by these ads and you want to get rid of them (if you didn't find a way how to install previously), maybe you should consider flashing a custom ROM which has Adaway pre-installed?
First fix your root issue and then try this :

I've got the same prob, and I've already done so many things on my phone just to.get rid of the annoying ads. I already reformat both of my fone and memory card. But soon as it opens it's still showing up even tho I didnt even downloaded any app on my fone. I'm thinking maybe it's because of our wifi? I really don't know. Pls help
You could be affected by malware that grants itself root. Best thing to do is to start over again, by restoring the stock ROM to your phone using Odin, and from there customizing your device.
As the title says, I just updated to OOS 9.0.3 and it's so different from the old one i'm really scared to try anything and risk to brick the phone...
I have several problems with the phone (nothing too scary thankfully) and I was thinking some of you could help here.
1) Nova Launcher isn't working properly. When I try to see the apps menu (where all the apps icons are displayed) it just doesn't show up, instead i just see the background and the apps can be seen just a bit in the upper part.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, I can touch the screen and the apps open where the icons should be... I tried to update nova, but the apk gives me the "app not installed" error and I'm not sure why.
2) Not rooted. I want to root the phone. I had it rooted before the update, but considering the last time i tried to root the phone without looking exactly what to do all my memory got wiped, I need to know exactly how to install Magisk and TWRP without bricking the phone or deleting anything... I have a method already that works, but I'm not sure with this now.
3) Is it possible to change the "recent app" orientation to vertical instead of horizontal? Also, is there an easier way to lock and unlock a recent app?
4) Is there a way to link Do Not Disturb to the slider?
5) Xposed is not installed. To be honest I forgot how to install that one, has it changed with this new OS update?
I might have more questions, but that's all for now, I updated like an hour ago, so I haven't been able to try it out more
thank you
Alright, I can try to help with some of your issues, but not all.
Don't worry about the new stuff, you'll get used to it quickly. Some things are still a bit "under development", but mostly is very usable. You'll not break anything and as long as you can boot into fastboot, your phone will be alright.
I cannot help with Nova launcher, I'm not using it.
If you have your bootloader unlocked, then just flash the newest Magisk zip, and you're good to go. Just to be safe, download the MagiskManager app and also the uninstaller zip, so if you end up with a bootloop, you can uninstall it.
I don't think that you can change the recenets, but I might be wrong. If you click the 3 dots in the top right corner of the app, you can lock / unlock it.
I was wondering about the same. I tried to link the DND to the slider with Tasker, without luck so far.
To my knowledge, there is no stable version of Xposed for Pie just yet. There's a beta or alpha build which is somewhat working though.
