Startapp mobile ad pop-ups?! - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just started getting these pop-ups in all apps. Even in Google apps like slides. They're ads for ****ty games and apps and the only consistent logo is for 'StartApp'. How can I get rid of this and where did it come from?

Try wiping the cache partition in Recovery mode and clearing your browser's cache.
Apparently this is a big thing to someone out there (http://www.startapp.com/faqs/)

OR unlock bootloader, root, install adaway, install xposed FW and load up on all the awesome ad blocking modules and never ever deal with ads again <3. That's what I do anyway.

[SOLVED] Google Voice force closing

Hello guys, I use google Voice for my Voicemails. Ever since I got my Nexus 4 back in early December I couldn't get it to work. Even on stock without rooting.
I have tried many roms, and factory resets and as soon as I open the app it force closes.
Currently on Xylon ROM 16 and Franco Kernel 33
Gapps 20121212
Any help would be appreciated.
You've tried all the usual fixes right? Wipe app data, fix permissions, uninstall/reinstall the app? Also are you restoring the app & data with Titanium Backup (or something similar)? If you are, uninstall the app and go to the play store and install it from there. Are you restoring any system data with Titanium Backup (or something similar)? Not a good idea to restore system data especially if your changing roms.
In the same boat as OP. Haven't tried any custom ROMs yet. That was gonna be my next move, but it appears to be futile.
I've tried everything. Un install, install... Wiping data and such. And no I am not using Titanium Backup to restore.

Okay so, I hope this is temporary but I installed the apk with the version 0.4.2.54 and it's working with this one. I tried updating it via the play store and encountered the problem again.
I hope the next update will fix it.

Crash when torifying all apps

I have rooted my device, and was looking to have orbot torify all apps. However, as soon as it finishes establishing a circuit, the the phone crashes and reboots, similar to what happens when the governor is set to msm-dcvs. The last event that occurs before this happens is orbot is granted superuser access.
The superuser app I'm using is SuperSU. The rom and kernel are stock.
Things I have tried to resolve this issue:
Uninstalling and reinstalling orbot
Clearing data from orbot
Changing superuser app from SuperSU to superuser.
Only torifying certain apps
Over an hour of searching Google, bing, and duckduckgo turned up nothing.
I am certain that the problem is local my s4, since I had no problem torifying all apps on my nexus 7.

Chase Bank App

So after updating to NC2 Kitkat all apps are functioning as one would expect, save for one: the Chase Bank app. I repeatedly try to log in and it accepts my credentials, forwards me to a confirm identification by using an authorization code screen. From there I click email/text/call to get an authorization code which comes promptly.
The problem is when I enter it in, it accepts it then spits an error station that my accepted login credentials are incorrect (they're not) and I'm rerouted back to the login screen to repeat the cycle in futility.
Now what's odd is if I go to the mobile site using ANY browser on my phone (stock browser, chrome, Firefox, opera, tried em all) it will do the SAME thing. However, the moment I click "use desktop mode" and try to log in using the full site, it works perfectly, no hiccups whatsoever.
So, this means something on my phone is blocking the use of the mobilized versions of Chase's site. My first thought was my ad blocker. I disabled that completely and uninstalled it, rebooted, and still no dice.
Any ideas? Had anyone else had this same experience? I'm running stock, rooted, de-odexed Kitkat NC2 for reference. No tweaks aside from Wanam via Xposed framework.
Another thought was maybe it's checking my root status as ISIS Mobile Wallet does. Thus I downloaded a root cloak (aptly called rootcloak in Xposed download section) for just such apps. Alas, this too is not the problem.

Im on nc4 non rooted device and the app works flawlessly. Not sure if this helps you just adding my .02 A lot of the lil bugs I encountered were gone after a full reset. maybe u should try it.

I'm using NC4 rooted and Chase is working fine for me. I never had to verify though because I restored the app from titanium backup. It may be obvious but did you try clearing the app data? Maybe you have a backup to restore from when it was working?
Edit: Rereading your post, I also successfully used Chase on NC2. Also, you can use Titanium Backup to restore an app and data from a nandroid backup if you didn't backup through titanium.

Removing Bloatware from (rooted) LG G6? How?

Hello,
i got my G6 rooted recently, and tried to get rid of the LG Apps like LG Friends and such through the "System App Remover" App from the AppStore, but somehow my phone keeps restoring those apps as soon as i delete them. Does anyone know of a way to get rid of those apps?
If root is confirmed on your phone use an called 3c toolbox give it root access and go to apps manager and delete apps and restart, until you restart they keep showing.
Try Titanium Backup

There's an app called "preload" remove that and they will be gone after reboot

Thanks, Titanium + rebooting did the trick.
Is there a list of safe to remove/freeze apps?
I tried using the same list from xda for my LGG4 but when I rebooted my phone it bootlooped.

why do so many apps crash on oos?

Radio.com, peacock, and a TON if others crash when I try to open them. Is anyone else having this issue?
I don't think I had a single app crash on my 8 Pro since I got it other than the GCam mod when selecting unsupported features.
You might want to do a cache wipe or factory reset.
I haven't had any either. As mentioned, try clearing cache and seeing what's using ram...
No crashes for me. Try a factory reset. Did you restore from a different device when you got it?

I have the same issue and it seems to happen after i have been downloading magisk or edexposed modules. Ill be in the middle of an app and it exits itself to my home screen. I figured it was because i hadn't rebooted directly after downloading a module.
Same issue here, even after factory resetting and clearing data and cache on apps they will open for once but than will crash, I'm rooted, unlocked bootloader, twrp, xXx ROM, clean-state kernel and a few magisk modules, no xposed. I might go back to 7 pro for the time being and give this 8 pro to my wife as I'm used to lineage which is a lot better than OOS in my opinion, but this app crashing problem should be solved, cheers

Initially I did restore apps from back up but when they started crashing I tried clearing the app cache and clear storage and even uninstalling and reinstalling from play store but with no luck, most of the apps got sorted by reinstalling but some didn't and they still crashing, cheers
I do have a couple apps that continue to crash. Not right away but when navigating their menus or settings they'll start to crash. Never had this kind of problem with any other phone. This is my first OnePlus device so who knows. I've tried everything you've tried as well

Restoring will definitely lead to that sometimes. What apps are crashing?

I'm wondering if the issue is caused by magisk modules. I ask because I have been experiencing the same issue and we are running similar setups. I'm just missing twrp and running ElementalX instead. FYI there is a lineageOS for this phone so you don't necessarily have to downgrade yourself back to 7pro lol
Same issue here mainly the app Call of duty. Recently I did a fastboot erase userdata w/ reset & it didn't crash for a week or two. Just when I thought it was fine, it's been crashing like crazy. I tried ram boost off, battery optimization off, etc w/ no success. I'm using magisk hide with a few modules and that is it. I have USB debugging disabled along w/ OEM unlock unchecked.
Just wanted to add for the record and I'm not sure what to make of it. Thx
My only issue is that VLC crashes if I try to open it from recents..Not that big deal though and it might have something to do with VLC itself so dunno..

Specifically I have my chase banking app and a app I use for work called qgenda. It may not be a OnePlus thing but it is only on my oneplus phone. Not my note 10 plus, note my S20 Ultra, not my Pixel 3, not my mate 30 pro, and not my iPhone 11 pro (yeah different OS I know).
Edit: I'm not rooted

I don't have any problems with chase. I can't speak to qgenda though

Hi ,call of duty is the main offender on my one plus and I've seen a lot of threads that suggest earlier phones were having the same issue.
Setting - privacy - advanced, on lock screen menu select show all notification content
I've had zero apps crash since launch day
