Do you have or have you ever had USB debugging enabled on your phone? That BaBel Font app or anything that could install it is not present in the stock system but if both USB debugging and unknown resources are enabled, you can get such apps through your computer when you connect your phone.

BaBel font came with my umi diamond. I say that because that app is a system app that is not possibile to uninstall. I Neverland activate USB debugging and also Never connect diamond ti anything esle then his ac adapter ti charge. Umi we don't feel so secure . BaBel font as MyApps (whith Shazam icone) have all the permissions. Same problem with my friend's London. IF u Need i can send you some screenshot. Please realese OTA as soon as possible. Is a situation than go on from about 2 month. Same situation for my friend that have same chipset Low budget Phone Leagoo M5. Same processor and i think also same base firmware/software from mediatek. The same problem for the taggle auto on in unknow sources.

i beg to differ... That BaBel Font is called "LovelyFonts.apk" that is integrated in the StockRom ... integrated very deep if i may say cause its even called in the init.rc script in the boot.img. Was one of the things that i deleted first from the ROM

1. #======================lovelyfonts start=======================
   
2. import /init.lovelyfonts.rc
   
3. #======================lovelyfonts end  =======================
   
4. 
   
5. init.lovelyfonts:
   
6. #======================lovelyfonts start=======================
   
7. #service fontd /system/bin/fontd --root_seclabel=u:r:su:s0
   
8. #    class main
   
9. #    socket fontd stream 0666 system system
   
10. on post-fs-data
    
11.     mkdir /data/fonts 0777 system system
    
12.     mkdir /data/fonts/lovely 0777 system system
    
13.     restorecon /data/fonts
    
14.     restorecon /data/fonts/lovely
    
15. #======================lovelyfonts end  =======================

Maybe something is lost in translation since english is not my mother language so let me be clear about my use of my UMI Diamond

Never ever I enabled the installation of unknown sources
Never ever I installed anything that is not of the Play Store
Never ever I enabled usb debug.
Never ever I had this app.
Never ever my UMI was plugged in any device, only to the power plug.

This app appears by itself after your bug of auto enabling installion of unknown sources.

Just for the record I always but always do manual installation of app by app after I do a factory reset, not only with UMI but also with my previous phone. So I always know all of my apps that I have installed and what is there and not.

After factory reset this APP doesn't appear in my list of app in play store. Again it only appears after your bug of auto enabling. And they say that if it wasn't installed that is because was the manufacturer that installed I copied paste that info from the app and if you search for the app you will see that exact statement.

You can say that I did something with my phone but I didn't. I just turned on the phone, add my google account, installed my apps one by one. And on the next day I also received a warning from eset about the bug you already know and when I went to confirm my app list It was there.

Agree...
This Babel Font app is installed on my phone too.
How did you unisntalled that?
It cannot be removed, or disabled, it's a protected part of the rom.
Do i need to root the phone to do that?

I never installed anything, just a pair of small apps from the playstore, and this app is not in the list of my apps. This was already on the phone when I bought it from Gearbest.

I have the problem also at 2 Umi Diamont. Can it be that the apps install (advertising ...) when the Amazon Appshop is installed? I hope it comes soon the update because this condition is really bad

This is happening with new and out of the factory UMI, without installions of any app out of the play store and with the device never connected in any way with other devices.Well, at least this is my case.
