so if you have preinstalled app - a file manager com.tap.filemanager, then you know its an adaware than popups ads on top of your screen, tracks your location, installs ad shortcuts on your home screen and many more
how to remove/disable such thing without having Root access, debloader doesnt work on max2 series
Can't confirm such behaviour on my phone.
Where did you purchase it from? Are you sure it has official ROM or vendor modified ROM?
on aliexpress : aliexpress. com/item/Original-Letv-Le-Max-2-X820-4G-Cell-Phone-Android-M-Snapdragon-820-Octa-Core-5/32655134118. html (remove 2 spaces)
its the main LETV seller on aliexpress, i bought it 3 months ago for 240$,
if you take the apk from root/system/apps/LetvFileManager its called com.tap.filemanager, and copy it to any folder where you can antivirus scan it, then for example kaspersky shows up with a 'trojan'
this app used to ocassionally popup an AD on top of any screen, and now i sometimes see an Icon being added to my home screen
i have x822 grey
does any of you know how to get rid of it without ROOT? debloater program didnt recognize my phone
Root is required to ride of the app.

As you wrote, you bought it 3 months ago and still have the seller's ROM as I understand... It's your fault if you'd think about it. At least you could've come to a stock ROM as soon as you got the phone. The forum has plenty of information of how to flash a new ROM.

I would like to bring attention to every owner with the US version to this thread:
I would strongly recommend to check this video with two ROM available.
Most importantly these ROMs are eliminating the bloatware software from the original one.
Even with the first update the phone is living up to your expectation.

EDIT on 14/07/2016:
The malware gmail app started after one week it's usual auto-install stuff. So switched to CUOCO92-5.5.014S Rom
Yes but does this rom contain the malware issues the stock ones have? Reports on the web suggest that it does.
I am using the first update for more than a week without having any issues. (The second one was not detecting my SIM and endlessly searched for it, so I reverted it back to the first one).
I am using TrustGo and Anti Adaware still the previous annoying auto-installed software bloatware did not show up
I bought a US/EU spec Le 1 Pro from Efox-shop a couple of weeks ago and it came with malware and dodgy Google apps installed. I had to Root to remove them so I'd be wary of any Efox roms.

Can I ask did you remove all Google apps including Google store ? I removed all except the Google store. I understood the malware was in a hacked YouTube app, are you aware of any other issues with the installed software, eg apart from Google apps.
Thanks in advance.
I removed all the pre installed Google apps except for the Play Store, the pre installed Calculator app (which was requesting network access), File Manager, Ant Keyboard (which was being flagged as malware) and the stock messaging app. I'll probably remove the stock dialer, contacts and email apps too and install some trustworthy apps but to be honest I'm not sure how safe my data is with this phone so I'm not using it at the moment.
After removing and reinstalling the Google apps the phone runs quicker and the battery life is slightly better, YouTube behaves perfectly too.
It's a very nice phone but I just don't trust it yet.

Thanks, I had noticed the calculator app, I froze it. I'll dump it.
I have to say I agree, I just don't trust the rom, no matter what I remove.
So a week ago my galaxy s7 edge from ATT thats now on straight talk was hacked somehow very badly and not even 2 hours later so was my whole home network which was my desktop my laptop and my sons tablet. I have all the things i need to rid whatever vile thing/person/persons that infected me home network wise but my phone is a different story i was told by a local phone shop i could factory reset it using recovery and it would prolly fix the problem but as soon as i went into recovery and seen the little android guy i instantly got booted out of recovery and went right to my lock screen and quicker then id ever gotten to it so i restarted my phone again in recovery mode and instead of seeing the normal android recovery stuff i was greeted with about 4-5 swirling circles for about 2 mins then it took me straight to a blue screen that said odin and it immediately started to download something i had to hold the power and home button down for like a good 45 secs before it finally powered off. When i turned it back on it thankfully went back to my phone but i no longer had control of anything my radio band had been switched i couldnt access any of my folders like gallery, music, videos etc. for like a good 30 mins and i was denied access to google play store and i couldn't make or receive a phone call or a text for like 30 mins then my phone restarted itself 2 times on its own and when it came back on after the 2nd restart i could access my files and google play but the only browser i could use was Chrome. Dolphin which i have set as my default and have used for almost 2 years now without a single issue and the stock Samsung browser would force close on me soon as i opened them and alot it was in chinese like home icon and tab icon etc. and i had like triple the apps running in running services then normal and alot of the normal android system apps you would see running had a 2 at the end of the app name now and i couldn't do anything with them as far as force stopping them or disabling them and not just system apps either but normal ones too like my camera or memo app and the ones i could disable which was very few came right back undisabled and running as soon as i did it. I downloaded 3 different apps just to be thorough to see if i was rooted and all 3 said i wasn't but yet i could go into my files app and go all the way in my recovery file system and see my /sys/ priv-apps folders and others too im pretty sure a non rooted phone would never have access too and i also seen a directory named fake libs and a directory that had a bunch of apps for listening through the mic and turning the front and back cameras on and live broadcasting apps and an app for logging of every keystroke i made and lots of crazy txt files one of the txt files said downloaded mobicore hidden apps and the list of apps looks like they downloaded a whole repositories worth of stuff i was told by another local phone place that the first ones i talked to were idiots and even a full factory reset wouldnt fix anything and id need to flash it or have it flashed if i didn't know how which costed 90 bucks that i didn't and still do not have so i transferred everything i had access to and wasn't denied from to my sd card and did a full factory reset which actually fixed my radio band problem i can now make and get phone calls but still cant text and or receive them even thought straight talk has fixed it on their end like 4 times now so today i decided id try and learn to flash and flash it but was told if it was rooted and i did it a certain way id screw the phone up completely and if it wasn't rooted and i did it a certain way the same results would happen. I actually downloaded win rar and went back into the recovery system directory and the sys/priv-apps/ section and /fake-libs/ section and took like 16-17 screenshots of like only a 10th of all the crazy stuff apk wise and txt document wise that was in there id seen and rar'd it up so i could email it and post them along with this post but every email address i tried to send it to immediately sent me an error email response back saying it didn't exist or the person was not allowed to recieve emails even my own email account that i was sending it from because i thought id send it to myself and download it off my computer but soon as i sent it to myself i got the email doesn't exist error email i also tried sending it to a friend in FB messenger but messenger would force close on me every time id click on it to send it and at the moment i can still access my FB messenger but now can no longer send a message it sends out but never changes from the greyed out check mark so the person on the other end isn't receiving it i also tried calling people this evening but every call i made went straight to busy signal oh also the screenshots are still sitting there in my screenshots folder and i can access them and click on them etc. but im now denied access to win rar i go to click on it and it says access denied and google play says the same thing once again so i cant download another archiving apk and the RAR archive i made to begin with that was in my screenshots folder is gone now just disappeared like that and if i plug my phone into anything to try transfer them that way it says that my s7 edge is not equipped for data transfer but i can unplug it plug it back in and try to transfer a normal picture or an mp3 song or something like that and it will transfer just fine after about a 10-15 second hang/wait time. All i know is i want my phone back from these A-holes and i am willing to flash it just downloaded the newest odin and got the stock ATT android 7.0 rom but im at a loss after that as i do not understand the whole if its rooted do/don't do this or if its not rooted do/don't do that stuff plus seeing as how 3 different apps off google play have said it isn't rooted but yet i have been as far as the folders right before my boot sector and can see hidden system apps and a crap ton of /0/ folders and stuff and somehow have odin for a recovery even though the first time ive ever even been into recovery mode in the almost 2 years i have owned it was when i tried to factory recover it the first time a few days ago and if they have control of my phone like this and i do need to root it how would i even accomplish it without them stopping me?????? Please help me i'm tired of not having control over my phone and being listened too watched and logged by whoever if they might just actually be doing it since i seen the apks and such with my own eyes so anyone that may have any info advice tips or can help me in any way please please please do!!!!

#DON'TDOWNLOADFROMALTSITES
H’llo Guys,
For the little story, I always liked to customize my smartphones. I had an iPod Touch 5, which I had jailbreak several times until it becomes unusable (I managed to break it completely, including its OS). After that I bought myself a BlackBerry Z10 (special thanks to Cobalt232 and xsacha for the tools they created). Since I was tired of always tinker the BlackBerry (it didn’t lead to anything), I sold it.
You’ll understand that I don’t want that the same thing (breaking it or reset or repair its OS) to happen to my new smartphone, a brand new UNLOCKED Motorola*G5 Plus that I bought on eBay.
Wait! Did I say UNLOCKED, it’s indeed what the announcement made me think : “Motorola MOTO G5 Plus - 64 GB - Lunar Grey (Unlocked) Smartphone,” but when I turned it on, I realized some irrational details.
Firstly, the presence of some Amazon apps and the one of Amazon ads on the lock screen. Then, the software variant and the software channel : "amz" for Amazon.
It’s reference number is XT1687, so it’s the 64 GB ROM / 4 GB (North American Variant), so why is it the Amazon variant?
And why I couldn’t unlock it BootLoader? I know that the Amazon variant can’t be (I didn’t buy it on Amazon, how would I know that), but not all the XT1687, right?
So would I anyway be able to customize my smartphone as I want? I mean changing its software variant and channel, using applications that require roots like Substratum or F.Lux, …
Maybe I haven’t searched enough on XDA forum, but it seems to me that the discussions are very scattered and the answers are even more.
Thanks.
P.S.: I’m new to this forum, so sorry if I didn’t respect some rules.
You got the Unlocked Amazon Prime version of the Moto G5 Plus. I believe you can't unlock the bootloader (Amazon didn't want you to remove the ads, but idk about now).
The unlocked meant it isn't locked to any carrier, not bootloader unlocked.
If the eBay posting didn't say anything about Amazon, you should contact the seller for item recieved not as described.
Also, I managed to make all ads disappear permanently (even after reboot or connected to the web) without the use of a Music App that have the ability to change the background picture on lock screen.
So Amazon's restrictions sucks.
And legally, I think that they wont have the right to fix that.
So there's my way in 7 easy steps :
1- Disable all rights of Amazon apps.
3- Disable all Amazon apps (look at system apps, not those you need).
4- Enable Developer Options by clicking 5 time on device name I think.
5- In Developer Options, go to the running services section and disable all services and cache from Amazon apps (not those you need).
6- Delete all Amazon ads cache with file explorer of Motorola.
7- Delete all files Amazon apps in settings app (not those you need).
8- Delete all cache Amazon in settings app (not those you need).
9- Reboot, and enjoy life forever :silly:

FYI... Amazon disabled their lockscreen ads in the latest update of the Amazon Ads app due to security concerns.
Your changes will temporarily stop the ads, they will return... This has been discussed over and over in the Amazon Ads thread.

You cannot unlock the bootloader of the Moto G5+ (Amazon Ads version). Although you bought it from Ebay, it still is the amazon version of the phone. That phone is the cheaper version of the original Moto G5+. The only difference between the amazon version and the original version is that the amazon version has ads on it and has a locked bootloader on it.
This means that your phone is locked down. Another way of saying this is that you cannot "Jailbreak" it like you did with your ipod Touch. The only way you can get around this is by buying the non-amazon version of the Moto G5+ and then you can Unlock/"Jailbreak" that one.
Ok
Hi all
I've had this bizarre issue on my phone where on the drop down notification bar, it says the Download Manager is downloading... It will be a strangely named document.. The last one was Skepticism and something or other... If I click on it nothing happens, I don't know what app is downloading it.. I have not downloaded anything and all I can do is cancel it if I'm quick enough.
I can't find any info on this issue on Google and I'm worried it's a virus... But again, I'm unable to establish where on earth it's coming from.
It happens occasionally (ie not every day) once I'm connected to the Internet.
Has anyone else experienced this and are there any solutions!?
Many thanks.
Hi, first use this site www.virustotal.com , this is an online virus analyzer that use more than 60 anti virus to scan the file (everything online) and gives you info about it, where it comes from etc , use this to be sure your mystery file is clean (I use this site very often it is just wonderful)
And then you are using a 3rd party download manager app? If you are be sure it is a reputable app and with my personal experience I have used a lot and the best one is by far ADM (advanced download manager), and if you know the download comes from the 3rd party download manager try to delete data of this app or if it comes from a browser you can see from which site this thing is downloading.
But if you still have this issue I can advise that;
Uninstall the kind of useless and dangerous apps like clean master, any """battery saver""" apps or flashlight apps that only display ads, use ram and battery and have very suspicious permissions and you have all those features built in.
Next do some spring cleaning, uninstall apps you aren't using and check the permissions settings to see if there is some suspect things, like a flashlight app that can access your contacts, sms, storage and location for example, you get the point
I hope it will be resolved, and you will see this website is great and will gives you infos about your file have a nice day

Download good lock in galaxy store its an app available in samsung mobiles only it will help you customize ur phone. Within the app look for NavStar i will allow you to change the nav bar icons.
here is a video showing you how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wH26KM1elg
also f its not available in your country like me in France, i found a solution on reddit which is working:
"use a VPN (select country where Good Lock is available, example US, South Korea), remove your sim tray completely. Go to apps and force close Galaxy Apps. Then clear cache and clear data for Galaxy Apps. Next open Galaxy apps and you'll see it picks up as you were doing a fresh install (marketing info permission requested,etc).You'll have Good Lock available for download (search it in Galaxy Apps). Once you download it, open it and download the stuff you want: edge light+, sound assistant, one hand, etc. When everything is downloaded, access each one of them and do your setup as you like: one hand, edge light effects. Finally re-insert your sim-tray back. Close VPN connection. Galaxy Apps will return automatically to your country specific and you'll have Good Lock available. When updates are available for Routines, one hand, etc, you either repeat the steps above: remove sim tray + vpn and the updates will download (you open Good Lock and open each app inside it and you'll notice the update available) or sideload the updates from apk mirror ?"
