Woke up with ad installed on my phone - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long story short just I woke up this morning with a notification and a new app installed on my phone (my phone is rooted running cm11), it's titled "Speed Up" or "Speed Up Booster". When I look through the "all" apps tab to uninstall it, it's nowhere to be found. I'm posting from my phone, I'll attach screenshots from my desktop ASAP. I'm a bit concerned, I might just backup my important files and do a fresh wipe and install a newer build?

This is just an ad. Just remove it. It wont bug you.
Most probably you installed some spp and it came as a freebie..
Do press thanks if my posts are helpful

Adfree App Question

Hey guys I just updated my Galaxy S to Froyo and did the factory reset to have a clean version. I'm reinstalling all my apps but noticed that "Adfree" is now missing from the market.
I've googled this and struck out.
Where can I download this or could someone PM this to me please? Thanks!
Same here. Would like to know if it's hidden because of the rom I'm using.
Also one more app Cherry RPlayer.
I swear that's all I need... Major thanks in advance!
OK scratch the Cherry RPlayer request:
For anyone else looking I found the solution in here:
http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/63451-need-cherry-rplayer-apk-file.html
It may not be the most current version but it works and I need this to survive my morning commute. (believe me I was in a little bit of a rage when I did a fresh reinstall just to find my all-time favorite app missing now life is good)
Hopefully this helps anyone else that needs this app...

That's odd it's there now. Thank You!
I just got it installed by using an old version and then let atrackdog hunt for it, but at least it's good to know that it's still in the market.
Thanks again to everyone here!...

'Samsungs Apps' in Overcome Rom 1.20 HELP

Hi all, I have recently flashed my tab with Overcome 1.20 rom (Love it) but it doesn’t include the 'Samsungs Apps' which came with the phone, is there a way to get this back without reflashing?
P.S where would i get games that are meant for the tab that are full screen? android market hasnt really offered much, or i havent been looking in the right places.
Many thanks
I too am in the same situation after flashing with Roto JMIv2. Would never go back, but wouldn't mind some of the Samsung apps which are no longer available. I had about 20 something to choose from, now there is only 2. I'm guessing it's region based, so there must be way of tricking the Samsung app store. Anyone know how to get around this issue?

theres got to be away around this!..I dont want to revert back to the stock rom maybe theres a Sansumg App.apk we could install or ADB it?
I'm going to bump this thread as I figure someone out there knows the solution to this but is not sharing. There are people asking this question in the dev forums as well. I'd post there, but I'm "not allowed" till I fill this forum up with some crap first.

Well, Samsung Apps IS actually included with the ROM, I am guessing maybe something went wrong? I would suggest a complete wipe and do a full Install, see how it goes.
I can assure you however that Samsung Apps is definitely included.
Im using overcome 1.2 and it has the Samsung apps with no problems.

It looks like ADW EX.
Anyway, did you do a fresh wipe or did you update from Overcome 1.1.3?

Hit the thanks button rather than saying thanks. I would recommend any CM7 or MIUI ROM but probably stick with those.

[Q] Can the Ouya still be rooted

Hi
All the threads are old and have mixed results.
I picked up a Ouya at a thrift store for 15 bux. Would like to root but dont want to trash it. Is there a new method that works.
I powered it up and it took an update yesterday so its at the latest.
There's a search button for that reason. Just try it...

Hi
Thank you for responding but no luck with that one either. Click install, shows me all the info it has access to, then pops a window "App Not Installed.

did you try frameroot?
I'm not sure why non of the guides work for you. I used the root tool in ouyas own store the other day on an ouya my friend didn't want anymore and it worked fine.
---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Like a couple years ago when I rooted my first ouya I used fastboot and cwm. But I'm pretty sure there was an all in one ouya adb tool that would did everything you could possible need root cwm Roms backups I will have to take a look when I get home but I have the apk on a backup drive somewhere. I will try to find it for you.

So for those looking----it is still possible as of June 2015

Correct. I did it last night with a mix of Kingroot (older version, the new stops working at 18%) and the updated xposed and playstore zip file.
If anyone needs, and if it's allowed, I will post the files later.
I had my ouya rooted, collecting dust.. Then decided to flash an AOSP rom, and bricked it.. Looked and found this video,I achieve root, boot menu , cm11 with this video . http://youtu.be/fYwZ_l31-G8 , beware.. Strange sounds in the background ... ?

Google Play Services Wont Run After Upgrading To Lilipop?

I'm new to this, I used odin to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 5.1.1 but now everything is messed up, Nothing runs when I bootup the phone i get messages one after another "app name" has stopped working.
When I installed the ROM I didn't make any backups of the original OS.
What do I do to fix this, Right now I wouldn't mind having any version of android as long as the phone works. This is not my daily driver, I just used it as a chrome cast for my tv.
Can a moderator please delete this thread since I figured it out.
Thanks

Edit the title to say [Solved] and say what you did so others with the same problem can find the solution. Threads are rarely deleted.
