About 2 days ago my phone icon changed. It's like another icon is placed over it. And it looks like that on my apps page. I have searched deeply to see if this had happened to anyone else and to avail. Show box is the only 3rd party app that i have downloaded. I don't download apps that often either. Any help is appreciated!
(And apparently i can't add a photo till i have posted 10 times)
Go to configurations, apps, on all apps tab look for your launcher and tap on delete data
That worked, ty sir! It said basic launcher with 13 kb cleared it and it worked!

Hello; I can't seem to find the Phone application in the app drawer, or in selection lists (e.g. Launcher 7 initial setup). I've frozen a few things using Titanium, but it's not on that list anywhere either. I can find it in Astro easily enough, but no way else.
Help!

If you can see the contacts app, the dialer is just one of the tabs... it's not perfect, but it works...
Thanks. I finally got it back by uninstalling GO Contacts.
Hopefully someone could steer me in the right direction
I'm in the process of recovering after updating to the latest ROM/firmware using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149095
Everything seems to be working smoothly so far, except I'm having trouble de-bloating. Being a n00b, I remember being able to uninstall just about any app I wished to delete after finishing the dirty work of rooting and such directly in the operating system (drag the shortcut to the uninstall label at the top of the screen). I cannot remember how exactly I got to that point...I've tried running a script I found to auto de-bloat while in the bootloader, no luck.
Also, my apps do not seem to be auto downloading again as they had after I went through the rooting process a month ago. Having the phone re-install apps, and even properly replace their shortcuts was quite nice ...any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks in advance.
Settings -> Apps -> All, tap an app, choose disable.
I do remember you could just drag a shortcut right from the app drawer to the "info" and then disable. But it doesn't work now, maybe after update...

Thanks for the reply! I've disabled many of the apps, too bad they're not truly uninstalled though. I do know before the update, I was able to uninstall most Verizon apps using the app drawer (all but voicemail which was still protected for good reasons). But now, I can't seem to do that anymore. Ill try installing bloatware remover v3, still can't remember what exactly allowed me to directly uninstall the apps. Maybe its just the update that's causing this.
EDIT: Nevermind! Got it. It was the Bloatware Remover v3 that allowed me to do this. Thanks for the feedback though!
Maybe the apps aren't auto recovering due to this being a new version of the rom. Apps are treating my phone as if it's new, even though I'm connected to my Google account.

I set a data usage limit in my phone, because I was using a lot of data. After doing it, it alerted me that my mobile data was about to go over and cut off. So scrolled down and discovered these 2 "Android " (looked like the little green Android robot ) and they are named "10193" & "10194" 10194 runs in the foreground all the time and 10193 runs in the background all the time. I was told these are "Kaspersky Mobile Security or Parental Control Monitor" I'm 34yrs old and my parents don't monitor me, please help...

I do not think I did or ever had I looked at all the appsI have installed via play store under the all section of "my apps" and do not see it.
Why do you say it is Kaspersky? My phone has been having some really weird things happening to it. I went though 3 batteries in 2 months, its been using a ton of data. My data just reset on 10/29/13 and it is already at 5gb. Also we have been finding "duplicate processes" running in the application manager. I really don't know what to do, I have installed Avast, Look out, and some other antivirus apps nothing has helped. Reset a few times and it will help it for a little bit and then boom its right back

I recommend wiping completely and start fresh with a new ROM. You could also install an app like Data Manager and see which app is using the most data and uninstall. Also, do not install apps that you download off the internet. Only download from reputable sources like the Play Store and Amazon app store.

this is going to sound crazy, but i just got that phone back up and running in January. But that is what I did,,,
The reason I said Kaspersky is because this guy I know said he "googled " those numbers and symptoms a
and deemed it that. IT did have a spy wear type thing on it but it was not Kaspersky. It was one that was
sent from a website and it has to be removed via the website. I don't remember the name. Anyhow I have
long since ditched that phone and on to bigger and better things. But w/ that phone it has sparked an interest
in this whole "development/modification" thing! Thanks for you help and advice and sorry it took me so long to
get back to you! Be blessed!:laugh:
Hi Everyone, I know this is a very old thread, but I want to give out a solution because I just encountered this 10194 app as well.
I would like to post this for future reference to other people who will encounter this since I've done searching around about this but I can't find any solution.
To remove this app you must:
1. Open Settings and tap [Security] or [Security and Finger Print] or any other name it might now posses.
2. Under this settings entry, you'll see [Device Administrators], tap that
3. Inside [Device Administrators] you'll see that there is a blank application containing a space as well and the indicator should be ticked, that means this app has administrator access to your phone, it has access to calls, messages, email accounts, etc. See: here
4. Tap this app and [Deactivate] or [De-authorize] it
5. Now go back to the main settings list and navigate to [Apps] or [Applications]
6. Tap the app and you can now uninstall it.
I highly recommend changing your passwords for any account that might have been on that phone, there is a high possibility that this app has gathered information on you.
This includes phone call lists, phone call recordings, your contacts, your messages, notes, emails, etc.
This is a speculation of course and will highly depend on the amount of data this application has passed to wherever it connected to but it is safe to assume that you have been infected by malware and your previous information has been compromised.
Ignore this... App is still there, just not displaying in launcher. If Icon in their launcher is deleted, you can still access it through the gallery by swiping right for the camera.
I accidently deleted the Omate Camera app last night, but can't track it down. (Mea culpa:my ROM backup MIA as well)
Tried looking through Dees Troy's Bluetooth ROM for the apk, but didn't recognize it by name. App isn't in the Omate store, yet seemed to be proprietary Omate when I was using it.
Any help locating a copy to re-install would be appreciated (or even the name of the APK). Rather fond of my setup now and would rather not mess with it by reflashing.
If you think you got app and only icon is gone just go to setting in app manegmer find the luncher and tap on clear data bottom. This will rest your luncher and bring your all app again.
But if you have uninstalled the app by root access the easiest way is flashing new ROM.I hope this help you.

So, I just got the Edge Plus, and was happy with how easy it was to set up. Using same ADW launcher configuration, and multiple wallpaper for my 7 screens as I've used for my last several phones.
Them, I downloaded a trial version of the Black Theme from Samsung theme store. Once the trial period ended, I did not buy, as I didn't like the fact I could not use my wallpapers with the theme (rest of the theme was great tho...).
Now, multiple wallpaper app is not working. If I go into settings, display, wallpaper, and select multiple wallpaper it says application not installed (When problem first occurred, I un- and re-installed app, got the 'unfortunately, Multiple Wallpaper has stopped working' message. I've wipe date, and cache, and, cache partition in recovery mode. I'm puzzled, and annoyed, because it worked flawlessly the first time, and trying a theme apparently broke multiple wallpaper.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thank you,
New: I just tried the GoMultipleWallpaper App It is installed, I can open it, edit it, etc. But when I go to settings, display, wallpaper, and select GO multiple wallpaper it says application not installed. So it's not the app, it's the phone not recognizing the app...
Problem solved. Package disabler stopped all bloatware, including live wallpaper picker. Enabled it, all working fine now.

Could you give some info as to where Package Disabler is and how to use it to fix the problem so others can use the solution as well?
It's available in Playstore. Well worth the couple bucks it costs.

Ok, thanks. Still would have appreciated hearing what you enabled, disabled, etc. to get your problem fixed. I found a different workaround though.
I enabled live wallpaper picker, which had been disabled by the disable all bloatware function.
This was at least a year ago, so don't remember much more than that.
Ah, ok, now I see. Once you had installed package disabler, that program interfered with your wallpaper program. So once you enabled that app (or all apps, not sure), then it started working again. Or something like that. Ok, got it, that helps- thanks!
