Actually, you are wrong. Mobogenie is STILL in the Play Store. I just looked.

I've got what I call a craptablet. A couple weeks ago, I discovered I had mobogenie on my tablet along with a card game I also never downloaded and installed. The card game was uninstalled through normal means but mobogenie could neither be uninstalled nor disabled. This resulted in rooting my craptablet in hopes of getting rid of mobogenie.
In system/apps the file appeared as “wrap-mobogenie_123241048.apk”. Another file was “advModel_20015_0815.apk” or “advModel_20014.apk”. Deleting these was not a problem. However, on rebooting the tablet, they were back, as was the popup ad appearing as if from "facebook" for cars or such. Deleting them again, rebooting, same thing. Cannot actually get rid of the damn thing. It's as bad as or worse than a home page hijacker! And, yet, I'm not sure it's actually installed since if you click on it, an install windows opens and asks if you want to install it. I always cancel out.
Has anyone ever considered the possibility of a class-action lawsuit or filing complaints with FCC or other Federal agency? Perhaps this would get mobogenie to actually not only fix it but provide a method of permanently getting rid of it off your device.
