Hey Guys,
Please could someone help me all my android browsers keep getting hijacked and a new tab keeps opening to http://us.mobilestips.com/ltjs/us/Index.html
I have searched the intenet but cant find anything related to this specific site besides this reddit post which doesnt help either http://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/2mvygg/random_spam_tabs_opening_up_on_chrome_mobile/
It just randomly started appearing the other day and i hadnt installed any new apps and i had only updated some apps from the play store.
After running dozens of antivirus and anti-malware apps to no avail i decided to carry a factory reset.
this worked untill i restore by apps using my gobackup pro app so i assumed it was to do with a infected app.
so after another format, it lasted a day and this morning i ran some updates for some app which some preloaded with my stock rom and BAM the spam is back.
I am currently running a rooted stock Samsung rom build ANE2 from Thu May 8 2014 on a SM-G900F
has anyone else found this problem and its there a way to get rid of this without loosing all google account or sms'
Cheers Guys
So after 3 days of investigation i can confirm that issue i was having with the spam url (http://us.mobilestips.com/ltjs/us/Index.html ) i was having was in fact coming from the latest version of Go Launcher EX.
I am in the process of emailing the devs to inform them of the issue.

Hi
Same problem here in Europe (er.mobilestips.com).
Thank you for your investigations.
So same cure: using another launcher solves the problem while waiting for it to be fixed.
Same Problem on Nexus 5 Andriod 5.0. us.mobilestips.com hijacker
I didn't do any debugging to indicate that this was from Go Launcher Ex but FYI, I'm having the same problem on:
Nexus 5
Android 5.0 Build LRX21O
Go Launcher EX 5.0.9
Delete GoLauncher and see if that fixes the problem.

For me, merely switching to another launcher without even removing GoLauncher did solve the problem (as far as I know).

The new update (pushed to me in the UK 9/10/11 has forced the stock browser and Dolphin browsers to Mobile. Changing to any other setting in the browser setting has no effect. I has similar problems with various ROM updates on the Galaxy S last year with the same bug. Does anyone know of a fix? If not can I downgrade back to the previous ROM without rooting?
thanks
I see this issue also in the UK
There's a fix by Roach for Prime rom but it may be incompatible with stock.

Just Tried Opera, it went to the desktop version of bbc.co.uk a couple of times, but now it just goes to the mobile site... so not sure what the hell is happening! User Agent still set to desktop
Also , I couldn't get opera to play any flash content either. I have flash enabled in its advanced options, and I have tried "Enabled" and "Click to Play". It doesn't matter which I try , a big play symbol appears where the flash should be, but when you click it dissapears and nothing happens.
Any Ideas?

Yes, Prime is based on latest OTA (and always is) and personally I don't see a reason to stay with stock.
The fix we're talking about is included in cumulative 2.0.3 patch, found in the Prime thread.
Do not try to install the fix on rom any other than Prime (including stock) because it contains rom-specific framework files. Instead, follow the instructions to install Prime 2.0.1 and update to 2.0.3 and you'll get a smooth, stable, solid rom in addition to just fixing user agent stuff.

1)So are there no problems at all with this ROM? Did I hear there are some problems with some apps with de-oxed ROMS?
2) Can I do with any version of transformer? Does it have to be Non 3g or 3g, what revision..... I keep reading about other revisions of TF101.
3) Do I need root....or will I get Root?
TIA

The BBC web site is notorious for using the mobile version of their site.
What I did was scroll to the bottom, select preferences and when the next window opened I looked down for where it says "Desktop Version ~ Same version of the site you will find on your PC". I clicked on "Get this" and it then opened the BBC site in Desktop version.

1. I don't find any problems using what's in my sig. Fast, stable, battery efficient. Everything is running as expected and I use quite a lot - 112 apps installed.
2. I believe you can do it with any version of transformer, excluding those with late B70 or any B80+ part number, see a bunch of threads about this.
3. Depends; you can root first and then flash custom rom using CWM, or you can straight use NVFlash version and you'll get root right away. (Assuming your transformer is rootable, see #2).
I would post this in the development thread but it won't let me as I don't have enough posts.
I installed this rom and I was really impressed with the speed etc but it was running the 3.1 market. I got hold of a 3.5.19.apk and tried to install it but it just said "Application not installed" so I got some ICS gapps and flashed that and now I have the play store but when I open it up it asks me to add a google account, I say yes and it closes and puts me back to the home screen.
How can I make the play store work in this rom?
The ICS gaps won't work in gb, try flashing the latest gapps for gb then it should automatically update to the play store.

I just thought I'd reply to this in case anyone else had this issue at any point. I tried to flash over the GB gapps from the link you sent but it didn't change anything. Same problem. I resigned myself to thinking I'd just have to dealing with using the old market when all of a sudden play instaled itself over the top. So it seems in future wait 24 hours and it should sort itself out.

yeah, if you flash a gapps package that makes it crash you normally have to re-flash the rom and then a new package or just wait for the original to update itself
I am currently running the latest paranoid android Rom on my nexus 4 using Franco's milestone 2 kernel. I am having problems installing apps that I downloaded (e.g., Adobe flash update). What happens is I can see the installation screen with the different permissions, but I cannot click on the install button. It works when I install apps from the play store but not through root browser, astro, es explorer. I have tried other apks to make sure it's not just that one file. As well, I had even removed those dimmer apps like twilight and lux before installing. I also stopped the running applications and then tried installing. I'm stumped and I have no idea what to try next. Maybe there is another uncommon app that I need to uninstall before installing off my card...
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

Disable HALO if you want to install apk`s.
Geez. You know how to flash paranoid android but not how to search? This has been mentioned many times..
Disable screen filter if you by any chance using it
It happened to me yesterday and it was found it was caused by file screen.

Disable Halo, then you can install it.
If you actually looked through the PA thread, you'd see this has been answered over 50 times within the last few pages.

you can not install adobe flash from the play store, flash does not support android 4.2.2. yoy would need to install it from the adobe site list of past flash updates. same with any other app from the play store that doesnt support the nexus 4 or the right android version.
thanks

AppWidgetDisplay
Also AppWidgetDisplay for Sony Smartwatch causes such behavior.
There is another way which will always work, If you don't want to waste your time.
Just use adb to install. As shown in the post below.

hi guys,
I'm in real trouble here. I live in london and I use this citymapper on a daily basis more than I use whatsapp lol... now I'm at a loss because it closes on start up. I did update it to the latest version and that's when it started.
my solution is possibly having someone with a note 4 and 4.4.4 make a backup with titatnium and uplaoding it for me, so I can install the latest version from google play then wipe and restore data from your working update. would that be a solution? I've done something similar with whatsapp+ which is how I thought of it.
I've been in contact with citymapper but to be completely honest they are just like, is your phone rooted, what version etc etc. I asked them to do the above but no reply yet... and I doubt I'll get one...
is someone able to help me out or possible tell me how to resolve my problem?
here is the app I'm talking about
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citymapper.app.release
on a side note I'm really trying not to re-install or wipe everything, it's a real task to bring my phone back to my liking's.
thanks in advance
Hi mate,
I had the same issue with version 4.6. Simply uninstall the latest version of the app and install earlier version. This is what I did. Use Aptoide and look for Citymapper 4.5
Let us know if this works for you!

Anyone else having issues opening Package Disabler Pro this morning?
It opens, and then gets hang up on the license activation. Eventually comes back with failed message.
Tried all the usual things.
I am not rooted. I dont have other blockers running Tried uninstalling etc.
Before I do a factory reset want to see if anyone else is having this issue.
Maybe a lot of load on the license server with everyone running the app after Nougat update?
Same here ....
Same here..... theres a new app called BK disabler I'm using and it works great, yes it cost 1.50 but that's worth every penny. I emailed the developers of package pro disabler for a refund or fix the problem and never received a response from them.
EDIT just updated BK disabler now its doing the same thing, good thing I backed up the older version.

It's done and there is no fix that I can find. I just downloaded a new disabler and moved on
worked for me on my S7E but not on my wife's S7. After today's update it still worked on my S7E...I end up buying BK Disabler to use on the S7
NONE of the apps are functional for me.
E-mailed them and go this response:

Issue fixed: update to newest version 7.2 and clear cache before retrying
P.S. : what are you guys disabling? It would be good to make a debloat list for nougat

That would be a great idea! I'll mention that if you disabled live wallpaper picker, Google voice search icon/ button didn't work...I have nova launcher set to launch Google voice search when I tap the home button on the home screen but when live wallpaper is disabled that didn't work. Enable that back and it works again.

Clear the cache then reopen the app. I had the same issue, it works for me now.

Not working for me. Did clear cache. Used older version. Used newest version. Still can't activate..
