Somehow I got an adware or something that keeps popping ads up randomly on my phone. Ive tried everything to get rid of them but nothings working.
I'm rooted and figure I'll just do a clean install but not sure what the proper way to do it it.
Can someone help me out. Thanks!!

Hey all,
I've been trying to search for this issue but couldn't find and answer so I decided to post it here.
About a month ago I decided to install the CyanogenMod4.0.4 ROM on my G1. I remember I was able to access the Market because I downloaded so apps onto my phone, but over the last 2 weeks, I can't get it running anymore. Everytime I go to open it, I get the 'force close' message. I've tried turning my phone off and on to see if that cured it but I still get the same message. I also noticed one of my apps doesn't work at all anymore (Shazam) which makes me wonder if I might of accidentally changed a setting somewhere which is not letting it work. I had downloaded a few apps from the market when it did work and some apps work properly and others don't. I hope this doesn't have anything to do with the ROM because I really like it and want to keep it installed...
any answers would be great, thanks
have you tried running fix_permissions? that usually clears up a lot of problems.
no, I haven't tried that yet. I don't know how to run that. Where do I go to do that?
well, I figured out how to do fix_permissions
I ran it, rebooted my phone, but I still have the same issue. My Market doesn't open.
i guess I'm going to have to just simply re-install the ROM?
I know there's a new one out so I might just do that, but I'm hoping that I don't continue to have this problem when I update
You could always re install 4.0.4 again, that should repair the market and it should just upgrade so all your settings will still be there.... have you got the CM recovery bootloader installed? if not, do that firts, its a life saver.

No, I don't have the CM bootloader, so I'll have to get it and I'll try that. Thanks!
Ok, so I rooted my phone yesterday via "one-click root" and worked like a charm. I deleted alot of bloatware and used info in a thread here in the forums as far as what to remove (Kindle, MobiTV, Amazon Mp3, etc But I also wanted to do a lag fix. I came across a guy that had a lag fix that I wouldn't have to use a pc for that was just a update.zip file that I would install. I followed his YouTube video step by step and had NO problem all the way up until I rebooted my phone. When I did so, my boot animation disappeared and my phone went BLACK! I contacted him and he had me clear user data and sd files and clear cache from the recovery screen. Now when I try and start my phone everything boots up but when I get to my homescreen I can't stop getting Force Closes and this is what the messages say:
----------
Sorry!
The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201008310134_android_process_media.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log.
----------
AND when I try to open the Web it says:
----------
Sorry!
The application Web (processcom.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201008310147_com_android_browser.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log.
----------
And same for Gmail App when I try to open it.
And they won't stop popping up. Barely long enough for me to open ANY apps.
I don't know much about rooting yet but I know I probably need to re-install firmware or something that includes ALL the bloatware including the apps I removed with my Root Manager. I just need advice or a solution or something because its deffinatly making me mad!
Thanks for all your help!

i had that exact same thing happen to me, but that was when i tried to revert back to non-lag fix. something errored out during the uninstall and i got exactly what you got, a ton of fc's. my solution was i flashed my phone back to factor stock using odin.
probably other solutions, but i chose the cleanest route, maybe not quickest.
Not sure if you would have enough time but you could try Fix Permissions on the Rom Manager app if you have it. If not you could try ADB pushing the APK and maybe you could open it before all the FC's. I have had that help before, but like said above quickest and easiest will just be to start over. Apply the lag fix first this time (you were probably already thinking this ) they seem to work better that way without any of these problems. For me at least
I have no idea where to start! I am brand new to this rooting stuff so I am LOST! REALLY lost! What is the first step for me? Do you know of anyone who can walk me through this?
It appears that more than one lag fix was applied. Start from a clean rom and start again.

Hey guys, after trying to root my device and trying to mess with some settings I decided that I would prefer to go back to the original state. Will factory reset completely get rid of everything I've done? I used the Super One Click method. I want to completely get rid of EVERYTHING i've done and just start with a fresh device again. I tried factory reset, but I still saw Super User. How can I get rid of this? When I did unroot on Super One Click, last time it just stopped at removing the apk. So I just rerooted.
The original reason why I wanted to do this was because I was getting an error message upon installing apps (18), and then I tried to install astro and delete a file (asec) which didn't let me. So I rerooted, and it still wouldn't let me. I'm so confused! LOL!
I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions? I'm all ears!
Thanks.
Power off, hold the volume up and down and power on. you will get a menu and select fatoy reset
i tried updating to an rooted kitkat version as we as get the Native hotspot going for my Sprint GS4.. however i did something wrong and now. i keep getting pop ups stating "unfortunately, SAE has stopped as well as many other programs.. how can i get this fixed.. i have tried factory reset, and to return to an stock firmware, but i cant get odin to pass. it keeps failing.. I have downloaded all the necessary stock firmware files, drivers etc.. . I can get a recovery to flash,, but the pop-ups for "stopped apps" still appear.. and i cant get pass them.. .
Same issue here
I have tried odin with stock tar and it fails I have no idea where to go next. I am sure it has something to do with the services.jar and services.odex files but how do you get around that.

Dude here is your answer use odin and install clockworkmod latest addition... then download stock kit kat zip put it on your sd card and install via clockworkmod. This work for me cause I was having the same issue. Peace out.
Also having this issue. It started before I rooted. First I did a factory reset, (and assuming that would fix the issue on a completely stock unrooted phone) decided if I was doing a reset there would be no safer time for me to root. So I CF-Autorooted and enabled native hotspot. I believe this is possibly somehow related to my phone and the play market because updating or installing apps seemed to be the common element triggering them to start failing. Google Search would fail over and over every half second after I dismissed the notification making the phone all but unusable, so I did another factory reset, and now SAE (presumably samsung account setup?) is what fails without even the half second in between, completely unusable. I'm afraid my last hope is to one-click it.
I'm trying to help my mother without having her do a factory reset. She has a stock S5, running 6.0.1, unrooted, and while on vacation overseas she started getting nonstop error messages that com.android.phone has stopped. It keeps popping up no matter what is being done on the phone. Tried safe mode, clearing all cache, clearing cache and data on phone and SIM toolkit apps. Also tried installing alternate dialer/phone apps and setting them as default, all to no avail.
I was thinking that perhaps installing an apk of the stock phone app might work, but not sure, nor can I seem to find one anywhere. I do have a rooted S5 running 4.4.2 if there is a way I can pull the apk from there.
Worse case scenario we'll try a factory reset, but I'd like to make sure we've exhausted all other options first.
Thanks

Eject the Sim and see if it continues.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I already tried that, and the SD card as well. Waiting to see if she can get hold of a different SIM to somehow "reset" the network.
It's interesting because it basically happened when she traveled overseas, so I'm wondering if that triggered it somehow.
Just as a follow up, she ended up just ditching the phone and getting an S9. Thanks anyway for the ideas.
