[Q] getjar.android.client What's this? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
maybe this is a stupid question, but I would like to understand why since I've installed GetJar app on my Nexus One, when I open Dalvik Debug Monitor I see the following process (please take a look at the screenshot).
Thank you in advance, I just would like to understand if there is something to worry about

I've noticed that Getjar runs constantly, even when not in use. That's why I freeze it with Titanium unless I actually need to use it.

Ehm... and did you have any side effect doing so? Is there anyone who can tell us why the hell getjar is always running? I wish it's nothing malicious.
Thank you for your answer jesusice

I've had no ill effects. I don't think it's malicious, I just think it's a poorly desgned app and since I use it infrequently I'd prefer for it not to be running contantly.

I think I'll do as you do, I'll freeze the app. Thanks again

Do you have the first version of Cut the Rope 1.0 installed? The one they gave away for free as a 0-day promotion. If I'm not wrong the getjar service is part of the Getjar app market much like an android market service. You can safely uninstall both Getjar app and the service after you install Cut the Rope. Hope this helps.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Thats it, cool, isn't it?
It has ARM support, so i thought we could try it
I read at Microsoft Page that everybody is allowed to develop his own version of Windows Compact 7 (Open-Source)
It has even Usb-Host support!
You can read it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/de-de/products/windowsce/compact7.mspx
I can't do this, i dont be a developer, but i just want to know how you guys thinking about this and maybe a developer could take a look at this..
Greetings,

I'm sure this all can be replicated in a home replacement app.

That wasnt my question
I know that this design can be maked in an Launcher but the other features of Windows Compact 7 does look too
What do you want/need from that? (it's not compatible with Windows desktop apps, none of the windows apps could work)

I know, but maybe in the future there's an app market for that
Its a pretty young project, but it got my heart
Joking^^ But its very pretty and Microsoft made (nearly) just good OS's
Edit: Apparently theres an "App Market/Store" (Look at the Picture i've posted)
I started playing with this a few weeks ago. Put together an initial test NK.bin using the SDK for a cortex A8, but could not find anyway to get the archos SDE to boot the nk.bin. if someone knows how to do this I would love to play with this a little more, unfortunately I know a lot about windowsce software, but very little about boot loaders.

Mystery Apps Appearing on Play Store

I've been trying to search but haven't found anything on this issue. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a number of apps that appeared on my All Apps list without me ever even installing them.

The two by martetrut and the casino one. I tried searching my phone for any trace of these apps and found nothing other than their appearance on this list.
Today, I looked at my list and now more mystery apps have appeared, with another app by that martetrut dev.
I downloaded lookout and Norton and ran several scans and they didn't pick up anything.... I'm a little concerned.
Anyone have any idea on what's causing this or had a similar experience? I'd appreciate any help/input.
If it matters, I'm completely stock.

Someone may be using your account to download apps. go to play.google.com on your computer, click on the gear in the upper right corner and go to My Orders & Settings.
The Orders tab can show you when the apps in question were downloaded.
Click on the Settings Tab and look under devices to make sure only your phone is listed.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to delete or unauthorize a device, but at least you'll know if someone else is causing those apps to show up or not.
Best thing to do is change your account password.

Yes, this was my first thought. I would guess someone is using your account to download apps on another device.
as other users said, it's probably someone else using your account.
maybe you gave/sold your old android phone to someone without wiping data.
btw, changing your password can be a good solution

[APP] Swapps - access your apps from anywhere on your phone!

I found this cool little app that lets you have a cute little slide-out menu so you can go to another app from the app you're currently using. It has favorite apps, recent apps, and all apps lists. You can assign a hotspot on any edge of the screen, so accidental menu opening rarely happens. The icon could use some work, though.

Hi guys.
In fact, you can set favorites in GYF (and you can hide apps, install themes, etc.)

What do you want to see made first? A package installer or an app launcher?

Poll is at the top of the thread. I've looked at the UWP classes and realised that these two projects are possible. I'm not sure which one I'd like to start first though so I'm leaving it up to you guys to decide. Do you want to see a package installer or app launcher for Windows 10 Mobile first?
P.S. After the app launcher is made, maybe we could replace the start screen completely?
(They will work on Desktops too but these projects make more sense being for phones only).
Poll has been added now. Sorry, forgot to add it earlier. Now you can vote!
Tasker

Background tasks are still super limited though. Even with restricted/special capabilities being used. Sorry it just wouldn't be as good as the one on Android :'(
Well the majority voted for an app launcher so that's what I'm going to do. I'm also working on an app store if you haven't seen it already: https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10-mobile/creating-party-windows-10-store-t3640719
It's pretty much your standard home screen. Nothing super revolutionary, well not yet anyway...

Until Windows 10 Mobile gets cracked open completely, those apps aren't going to be made any time soon.
I actually got it to work!
Here is a GIF of the app launcher in action: https://i.imgur.com/wOEckrK.gifv
Well I've basically finished the App Launcher. (Link to thread about it is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...d-games/uwp-app-launcher-source-code-t3667562).
Next up is the package installer

I appreciate the hustle but please make a new thread about this. What you're saying has nothing to do with the original topic but I'll look into it anyway.

Am I being paranoid?

I previously asked this on the Xiaomi Poco Forum but didn't get much help. As I have a Poco with stock rom and still locked so I didn't think you would welcome my question here. However you are very knowledgeable people so perhaps you can help.
The attached screenshot shows the window that opens after i have clicked the Trash Cleaner notification. At the bottom is the option to have Folder Names uploaded to Cheetah Mobile's database.
Cheetah Mobile are a company that admit to selling peoples data and have recently had similar apps to this pulled from the Google Play store, It doesn't seem to be delete able and I'm not sure the acceptance slider switch would actually do what it is meant to. Perhaps that's just me being cynical.
Is this as concerning as it seems?
Thanks for the help.

Given the reputation of the company, if I were you, I would not use it. In fact I was using their browser before learning about the activities of the company and subsequently uninstalled it and formatted my phone.
EDIT: You are welcome here even if you are on stock, unrooted with unlocked bootloader. This is a place for learning and mutual help.
