An evil app took over my Droid

[Sweettooth]

Your moral is wrong and hasty. I have the app for nearly a year. It was only the most recent update. The app has a 4.5 star review and I think over 250k downloads. There was only one other person with the same problem as me. With that said, it may not be the app since my screen is broke even post factory reset. Taking it in for a warranty replacement now, onto my third droid.

The moral is wrong and hasty in YOUR scenario because you failed to provide us with details and therefor left us to our assumptions. From the get go I said IF it is a rogue app. I also pointed out that I did not see how an app could override system defaults unless it had permission through root access. You failed to mention how long you'd had the app so I assumed it is a newly downloaded one, (especially since you called it an 'evil app' - why would you have an evil app so long?) and thus my advice stands to reason.

Sorry for your confusion.

I did that via SPRecovery.

You did what via Sprecovery? What were the results?

And if you have Sprecovery why not just install a nandroid backup from a before you did the app udate or setting change or whatever caused this issue?

How do I get it back to stock?

That question has already been answered. Look above for a post referencing RSD Lite.

I don't know what LSD lite is, or rather how to get it to work if I am unable to use the phone past recovery.

Have you tried restoring a backup in recovery?

You want to use the 2.0.1 to unroot option.

If you use RSD Lite you will lose everything on the phone and the SD card, so back up the SD card before you use it.

Looks like it was a Mini Widget problem. Just received an update saying there was a "brightness fix".

 

[Silverwing]

Long story short, a replacement Droid is on its way. Apparently it was a physical malfunction that just happened right when I upgraded a widget. Correlation does not imply causation - my bad.

Now if only more people would recognize this truism we'd have fewer freakouts.

My Grand Dad used to say it this way: Just because Lunch comes after Breakfast every day, does not mean that Breakfast causes Lunch!
