Help removing app - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hit wrong button in an app which took app to a screen that is looking for an action with no input button on the screen. Stopped app cleared cache and memory( in app manager) and deleted app restarted MM ( stock) in Galaxy S5. When I download and reinstall app and start, it opens to the frozen screen again. What am I missing to get all traces of the app removed to get a clean install?

Might be helpful if you mention what app that actually is.

Before you search for a new camera app have you cleared out your camera cache and tried the camera again?
Do the following:
Phone menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All
Scroll to Camera (or whatever the name of the camera app you're using) and click on it
Click on the "Clear cache" button and since you said you haven't done much with it, if you want, click on the "Clear data" though clearing data shouldn't be necessary at this point.
Its tha stock camera app that option was not there

You mean it was greyed out? All apps will have the same options so it'll be there, just probably not available which is also rather odd, imo. When you look at it in the "All" list, what number do you see under the Camera listing? While you're at it, what number do you see under "Camera Firmware"?

I cant get to it. I tryed the firm ware up grade and it wouldent do cause it force closes. Idk what to do wish i could find the stock files for it and copy over them and see if that would work...

S-Health keeps popping up

After every call ended, S-Health pops up, after unplugging headphones S-Health pops up, and sometimes varies with other apps when exiting them or doing whatever... wtf. Thought it was me but two buddies with new S5 as well said the same thing. Any way to disable this, I don't even use it and not signed into it. Useless to me, I keep my workout sched for different days in Evernote anway. Praying to the root gods something is figured out to get rid of this bloatware.
Go to settings/application manager and find s health in the All tab. Uninstall updates first, and then hit "turn off".

Thanks. Went through and pretty much did the same for every AT&T and Sammy app showing.
It doesn't remove the apps, but at least it prevents them from running services in the background.

Same issue
I've had this same problem on my S7. I 'Disable' the app and it asks me if I would like to restore it to the factory version to which I say 'yes'. Then at the next update it reinstalls the latest updates and it all happens again. I'm not very tech-savvy so am hoping someone can help. I've now removed all permissions and blocked notifications on the app settings so fingers crossed it stops happening.

Camera modes APKs

Does anyone has the Note 4 camera modes backed up? Because when I reseted my phone and tried to install them from my same Samsung account I couldn't find any of them on the store or from purchased list, but they exist on the store web version but when i sign in it's gone. it looks like it got deleted or restricted for some reason.
Corrupted wipe app cache in Application Manager then relog back in. Or long press on the Samsung app store and drag to the App info above.
Did you try downloading them directly from the camera app? Hit the Mode button, go to the bottom and press 'download'
sent from somewhere
Yes I tried doing that I even uninstalled all of samsung store other apps like billing etc, but nothing ia showing up I've also tried restarting, sign out the sign in, wipe cache ,wipe data or even create a new account and the same thing happened on my Galaxy S5 but here I found the apks of all modes but couldn't find the note 4 ones.
And yes I also tried accessing it from the native camera app but the list looks empty or shows other apps or effects.

How to remove this adware / virus

I've tried Google but it didn't work so basically I was downloading stuff from the internet and one of them must've had some nasty virus cause now every single time I unlock my phone I get this name-less app that pops up with this virus notification (how ironic). So I tap the menu key to bring up app switcher and the app is name-less with a white theme. So I go into the Smart Manager and check the RAM to see what information I can get but it doesn't appear there. So I go to the settings app, Application manager > Running and the very first thing, taking up like 66MB of RAM was that ad app. So I tap it and the uninstall button is greyed out! So I tap "stop" to stop the app and it finally goes away (I had the app open in that small window and it disappeared after tapping "STOP"). By go away I mean it probably just got temporarily stopped or it's frozen but if I go into the "all" tab, the first thing is this nameless ad app. 6.50MB storage used, version 1.0 . The permissions basically say it's got control of my SD card and full network access, nothing else. I don't trust it at all to not have root access but I don't think SU asked me anything about root other than file explorers and Kernel apps (was trying to find a way to overclock for fun)
tl;dr There's a nameless app that shows a fullscreen ad saying I got a virus and the uninstall button is greyed out.
I got root so is there a way of finding the location of the relevant files in ES File Explorer and deleting them maybe?
Download Samsung Package Disabler and you should be able to disable the app. Or you can try Titanium Backup and freeze the app and possibly uninstall it.

Simply factory reset, it is way better than finding the app. Format storage, then re install the rom. It will sure wiping the virus.

How to prevent an app from kill

I am using an app of floating Back Button for my ease. That app uses accessibility feature to observe my action of course. But when ever i clear my recent apps, this app also killed. I would have to reopen it, give again permission of Accessibility to make it work.
Even if i dont kill the app at Recent app still system kill it after 1 hour.
Use different apps for back button but result is same. Any guide would be appreciated. Thanx in advance.. Waiting...
