Honestly, I would uninstall AntimalwareByte from your phone. Then I would uninstall handservices.apk because I have gone through the ZTE system files and have not come across that .apk file ever. Maybe it IS malware. Let's see what else people say in your thread.

What is your Axon 7 version? EU or US or Chinese?
Just saw the screen shot is german... that means you should have the EU version, A2017G, right?
Maybe @rikin93 could check if he got it on his EU device also...
Could be that it is noted by antimaleware because handservice.apk has adware inside (that's what I read in some reviews at least)

Jep EU A2017G
No Adware in there... But i think its because it is a "AI App" and i think it sends the questions to ZTE server, so i think this is the part, who is detected as a trojan
What ever. I looked at the app and i think i don't kneed it.
I will delete it and watch, if something won't work afterwards.
I hope it isn't like the "car speak" (or similar) in htc. When you delete this, you can't make pictures anymore lol
Haha lol... I'm such a dumbass...it's in the system folder.
So i can't delete it lol

The third link on the first page is an app, I assume you know what they are? Transfer it to your SD, find it with Astro, RootExplorer or similar, install, run, click to root, but if you don't like it, know what to do ect, run the app, click to unroot, simples innit.

Accidentally deleted LGSystemUI.apk

Is there anyway I can restore it? I can still access root explorer so maybe someone can upload it if that's possible.

If you're asking me about what happens when you remove the apk, I have no idea anymore. I've had three other phones since I had the G2. I don't even remember posting that to be honest. But I do know it messed something up. Sorry I couldn't help.

[HELP THREAD] EasySetting CloudyFlex 2.3

Hello guys, im using CloudyFlex 2.3.
Yesterday i downloaded LgEasySettings from here: lgviet.com/forum/threads/chia-se-ung-dung-lg-g3-download-g3-apps.19818
And now I cant oppen settings. What i need to do? Someone could backup your system apk?
Thanks and sorry for my horrible english.
Just reinstall CloudyFlex and it will be fine.
Have the same problem for some reason. Is it possible to just instal stock lgeasysettings.apk? I cant find it.
It's not a problem. It's a LG G3 app.. ...
You need to ask someone to port it over. Why do you make problems where there are no problems ?
It wont work on any g2 rom. Not yet.
@matheusvp0 - delete LgEasySettings first from either /system/priv-app or wherever you find it. Then reinstall the CF.
I know it's not LG G2 problem I just called it that.
Can someone post Lgeasysettings.apk from the original lg g2, please?

It doesn't go that way.
You need to put it manually to /system/app and chmod properly
or first remove the one in /system/app then try installing

you have to be rooted.
I see people are fixing the issue by going to settings, apps, then all apps, find the "updated" app and select uninstall updates.

I saw that but there's no option for that for Settings app. Would factory reset help?
Since you're not rooted and you don't have custom recovery, it should help, yes. Backup needed files first

How can I remove carrier installed apps on S8 - Rogers Canada

Hello
I want to uninstall and remove and spotify app which came pre-installed with the phone. I am using S8 on Rogers network in Canada. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Have you tried disabling the apps you don't need? If you haven't, then long press on the shortcut and pick "app info". There you will find disable button(if not grayed out). That is the easiest way off turning off the app which won't show in your apps anymore, but it won't uninstall it.

Thanks for the tip.
However, I have my own apk and wouldn't install saying the system already have file with same name. I can disable but it will not solve my problem. Any work around or ways to remove the preinstalled spotify files?

I have not tried it personally, but check this tread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 There could also be other methods/apps that would help.
Try clearing app data than uninstall updates, this can be found in settings/apps.

Unfortunately, there is no app data visible/available for spotify so, cannot delete anything. Also how can you uninstall updates?

Go to apps then click Spotify then click storage then clear data and cache.
If you want to remove the pre installed version you need to be rooted to remove system apps.
The all you have will be the same as the one pre installed. You can always download an updated version.

Still, it doesn't work. I have my own spotify apk which conflicts with the pre-installed one because of same name.

Not if its a hacked version of Spotify.
I see no reason why someone would disable the included Spotify app to load "their own version"
The included app can be updated right from the google play store, so there is no reason someone should be uninstalling it to install a .apk version.
I am on a Rogers S8, so I know this is true.

Change your csc to xac https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71525525&postcount=1413 this will wipe your phone but get rid of all rogers bloat.

Thanks for the link to the forum post.
But the problem is - after doing this, the phone restarts and erase everything again and installs all the carrier apps. Is there anyway this can be stopped?
Thanks a lot.
Pull your sim card out and change it to xac.

Will it be different or remain the same when I put the sim back in? My experience is the sim erases everything and install all the carrier apps again.

Check out this XDA article. It details instructions to remove apps/packages without root, using ADB. Be super careful doing this or using a package disabler app Like BK Package Disabler or Adhell (which is free)...if you disable the wrong system package you may end up disabling important functions/features.
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
What you can do is only disable it. That's what I'm doing with texture also and zone. Don't flash XAC if you are still a Rogers user you will loose wificall and Volte.
Only time you can remove it completely is to root. (Not available)
Or flash the XAC but modify the feature file in XAC to add the lines to enable wifi call and Volte. And again not possible cause there is no root yet.
So it takes you back to the 1rst and only option and don't try any even when they claim it uninstall without root(it does not work with Samsung phones )
Just disable it "I think you know how hold the app icon and you see a popup to disable"
If you rebooted the phone , app will not show to show it back enable it again .
When any app is disabled you can't download the app it will tell you it's available unless if it's a higher version.
So if for some reason you want to have a clone " exemple disable original Spotify to download a cracked ) use apk unpacker and change the signature name on the cracked apk.
