Hey guys, I just want to ask these couple of questions:
1. I want to download an apk from an unknown source (not from google play). Given if it has a backdoor or something in it, will it be removed after I uninstalled it?
2. Is there a way to know if the application is backdoored or not before installing to my device?
3. Is there some applications that automatically blocks an app if it access for example my contacts, gallery or emails?
4. Are there apps that on the permission screens, all are not listed? Let's say on the permission popout only access to gallery is shown but the app can access my messages. Is it possible?
Thanks for the response guys.
I have a Galaxy s4 i9505. Android 4.3 unrooted.

Hi to all
Today when I try to open camera appplication in my Tab it crashes,( I have the nessage Problem, camera failed ) the same happens if I try to open applications that uses the camera, they also crash, in the camera 360Ultimate app, I got "camera initiliazation error".
I add applications in the tab, 3 days before it was working, I have Euro tab with Roto V2 Rom.
I don't know if a application is causing the problem...
Thanks in advance
Update
I have found probably the cause of the problem. I had deleted the main email application, because I had put K-9, searching the net I found out that some galaxy tab owners searching for the cause of the probem, they found out that the stock email app, is camera dependant.( If you delete email, camera app is not working )
I had made backup of all apps with Titanium before I delete them, but I cannot restore the app, I select the email app, press restore, it said restore Ok, but the application is not installed again.
Has anyone the stock email application to upload to me? or there is a way ,manually to install the application?
Use Root Explorer to put Email.apk in folder /system/app.
Reboot.
Other forum users had the same problem.

After installing Android Market, many applcations aren't showing up on my KF, from "Yahoo Fantasy" to "Google Earth.
Is there a way around this. I know on my phone you use to have to edit the build prop or something to get the Market to show all the apps.
protected apps don't show up - use sideloading
have tried editing the fingerprint in build.prop - it brings you more troubles ...
(amazon services, incompatible apps, ...)
if someone knows a compatible fingerprint, please post it !
Yeah, sideloading is really the best option. Find a website (like apktop or similar) that has apps available for download and then just download them and install.
Another option, if you have an Android phone, is to download the app, then send it to yourself via email or Dropbox.
Haven't messed around with build.prop myself, it's too scary to me. So far I've only come across maybe two apps that I haven't been able to sideload successfully.
hijack this thread with a related question...
sideloaded apps do not show up in market. is there any way to have them show up there? or have to manually update using apks?
thanks.

goto settings -> applications -> market
clear cache -> clear data -> force close -> reboot KF
after reentering the market you should have your apps (with a bit of luck)
if they are not protected apps. sideloaded protected apps you'll never see in the market.
Hello xda,
I'm presently experiencing problems with sideloading apps that have external data that is stored in Android/obb, on a secondary user account. For example, if I'm on my primary account(the one with which the tablet was set up) I simply copy the 'obb' data to Android/obb, install the apk and that's it. However, when I'm on a Secondary user account, the apk is installed without any issues, but the account refuses to acknowledge any 'obb' data. Even, if I go to Settings --> Apps, I'm only shown the apk size.
I noticed however, that if any app that uses 'obb' data is downloaded through the Play Store, work fine.
EDIT: I was wondering whether this app can solve my problem:
- Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=app_announcement
- xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033167
Any kind of help is excessively appreciated.

hey guys, a rather technical question...
I am finding that despite freezing/disabling apps, many of them still autorun (only to be disabled)
is freezing/disabling supposed to work that way?
I had to install App Settings (Xposed Framework) to revoke the boot permissions for these apps.
on a separate note,
can someone explain why the phone puts so many (unnecessary apps) on boot permission?
- Camera
- S Note
- even those user apps, like YouTube, etc
to cache them or?
From yesterday onwards WhatsApp is asking root access? Is that any feature with root access or they trying to access my phone?
do you have detailed logging enabled? if you have, can you show what is it actually executing? @godwintgn it's really strange
I haven't given the permission to access. I will update the login details if it's ask again
Lol whats app dark side
Could be a fake app, use precaution
Try reinstalling app, install from play store.
