(I removed the qihoo attribute. I don't see any reference to it in AOSP).

[PaulWoitaschek]

I don't get it. How did you make it work?

[facetime88]

If you removed the qihoo attribute, the recompiled app will crashed. I have tried many times but still crashed.

@iBotPeaches I also have the same problem, how to solve it, hope you soon guide me how to fix it

Thanks,
KENT

@iBotPeaches I removed the qihoo attribute from the AndroidManifest file
the line was

<application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:name="com.qihoo.util.StubApp55217915" android:qihoo="activity" android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

And when i remove the qiloo

<application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:name="com.qihoo.util.StubApp55217915" android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

But the apk that was build after signing it and install it on my phone is not working and i keep getting this message Unfortunately, (The App name) has stopped

Qihoo is a Chinese security company, who make an antivirus app for Android
`

`

[iBotPeaches]

Regardless of whatever the company is. That is an attribute that is not in an AOSP framework, therefore it is invalid. You cannot build the application without removing it.

Is it possible Qihoo is intercepting Android applications on download? Repackaging them and injecting contents and thus labeling them as Qihoo secure?

[ghost]

Even deleting the line qihoo
Here is the Force Close of the application

[iBotPeaches]

That is a low level stack trace of native components, there is nothing there that points to the removal of qihoo attribute.

Which can not do anything?
