Delete an App that woulnt let me delete it - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well guys pretty much what the title says. I was looking for an older APK of a game. Downloaded what I thought was the APK and installed, it was a spoof... Now I cant uninstall it through settings. How can I delete this, its probably safe to assume its got a RAT or something built into it so id love to get it off my phone ASAP

Crap. Need help on some stuff...

I changed my system font with a tool called ChangeFonts to Helvetica. Most things work, however, Opera does not.

It's using Wingdings, although I don't think I even have a wingdings.ttf on my TP. I'm using Juicy8 20090723. I'm fairly sure I'm doing things the wrong way to change fonts, does anyone know the correct method that will NOT give me this? I'm obsessed with Helvetica, don't ask
Also, when firing up activesync, I started to get a strange pop up box after selecting activesync through the HTC USB pop-up. Haven't figured out how to get rid of it, and it was never there beyond like a week ago.
Any thoughts?
See if your fonts works with opera mini..

I've received an I9300 from a friend, that has a strange screen overlay/popup on the home screen. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance!
I've seen that before. Its factoryapp. Factory mode.
If you didn't enable it yourself then you know an app for that.. one you downloaded probably did it.
You need root to fix it. No root means flash back to stock.
Find efs/factoryapp/ and open the factoryapp file with a text editor and change its contents to the opposite of what it is now. Save and exit. Reboot phone.

Question Search settings bug

So I have discovered that when searching in the settings as soon as I type in 'a' the settings app is force closed. This shouldn't be a huge problem for me. Thought I would share though in case anyone knows why this could happen?
It's working for me.

It can happen after you debloat your system. Happened to me.
Still the same for me, I have removed some system apps via the Xiaomi adb fastboot tool. It must be related.

To be honest it isn't a massive problem, Just weird... I think I will keep an eye out for any more issues and go from there.
