Hi members.
I've noticed yesterday after I rebooted my phone I saw on my home screen a app called "Top apps", in the process I'm constantly getting adds on my notification bar wich is highly irritating.
How is this possible?
Install one of the ad network detectors from Google Play.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.addetector
They are called Airpush ads. To get rid of them install Addons Detector https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector
Then scan the phone and in the addons section see which apps use push notifications and uninstall that app, then give it a one star rating since no app is worth those ads
Thnx!

i need a battery app, i had one before that i liked but can't find it again, so can someone suggest one to me, it MUST have the percentage shown as an icon on the top
BattStat. It's a battery widget.
Rather than install a duplicative battery widget why not root your phone and change the icon already on the task bar to show the percentage? There should be a number of posts with options on this site if you search.
I'd also add Rom Manager (clockwork) and Root Explorer to your list.

i didn't c any that showed %, just different battery icons
Aren't apps based on your needs? Not your needs based on apps?
And battery replacement icons are all over and provided through MetaMorph too, try to search once and awhile.

It just depends on your personal preference,
I personally like,
Nimbuzz
Fringg
Metamorph
Google Voice
Rom Manager
Launcher Pro
For montoring battery status, space left on SD, internal memory or free ram, I used to use SysTray Monitor. It puts a percent in the notification area for one of these four things. I used it on my MT3G to show SD space. I then used it on my Vibrant for the correct battery charge until I found the Circular Battery Clockword mod. That shows the battery percent and, more importantly, it is accurate.

Hi all,
I just recently got the atrix 4g. I used to have a samsung captivate prior to this. On the captivate there were toggles for wifi, gps, vibrate, etc on the pulldown notification screen so you could pull down the notification bar even while u were in an app and switch off or on the wifi for example. Atrix unfortunately does not offer that functionality . I'm using the ninja rom on the atrix with faux's kernel. I tried using Widgetsoid 2.x - it puts the toggles on the notification bar but they don't work. So those toggles are just taking up space on the notification bar. Is there any other mods or apps that we can use to have the toggles on the notification bar? Thank you in advance...
Try Widgetsoid 2.x in the market. This app allows you to make toggle widgets with the option to put them in the notification bar, or JUST the notification bar. It has many toggles,and is free. Make sure to look for the notification option thoroughly. Happy toggling!

He already said he tried that
CM7 comes with customizable notification toggles built in, though!
Search for "Notification Toggle". Works very well, though slightly differently from cm7's. It will put up a bar under the notification pane, but you'll tap it and a small window will pop up with all your options. Once selected, it will disappear and go back to whatever app you were using.
Thanks guys for all your responses... I'm playing around with widgetsoid still... Will report how it works out... It also does open a pop up window with all the options specified... I'm trying to figure out if it will work without opening a pop up window...

+1 for this. i thought it looked so cool on the x10 when i was playing with it. atrix being my first Android device and i couldn't find anything ab the toggles in notification pull down menu for the atrix. will try widgetsoid and see...
Guys, I tried widgetsoid and it opened the pop up... I also tried notification toggle which also opened the pop up... There seems to be no options available at this time where you can just toggle between stuff just from the notification bar (unless you're using cm7 like the other user mentioned above)... I'm not a developer myself so I'm hoping someone will come up with that option...
Now I also tried extended controls which also opens the pop up but out of the three, ex controls is most pleasing to your eyes... (that's just my opinion) try it out you may like it... It is a paid application... I don't know if I'm allowed to post the apks for paid Apps here or not... I'll go and check the forum rules and if it's allowed I'll post it here

I was getting 2 or more FCs when trying to create a Extended Controls widget, that I would wait out, till it would finally take... been that way since the Gingebread update... apparently a known issue with this app, according to Developer's website.
Changed to WidgetSoid tonight.. like it a lot better, snappier, no FCs... pretty much same icons & can create same layouts.
Hi guys
So I installed a few different widgets and stuff today off the play store. I only installed ones that had lots of downloads like 100,000+. Installed a few and then uninstalled a few so basically I have installed and uninstalled lots of different widgets today. So now I've noticed a strange folder on the root of the phone just called d. I've attached the screenshot of that folder and also the contents. Does anyone know what this might be?
Second thing I've noticed I also have 2 apps in my app drawer - Appcenter and Gamezone - see attached. There not apps in their own right as I cant uninstall them as there not showing up under app manager etc. All I can delete is the icon form the app drawer - when I try the uninstall of the app from the app drawer it says the application cannot be found- remove from app drawer? All advice appreciated.
The AppCenter and GameZone things appear to be part of GO Launcher... I'm guessing their latest updated today added them to the app drawer.

Cool thanks for that - thats one of my issues sorted then!
Is this confirmed? I don't want to unnecessarily wipe my phone.
I also have those two apps in my drawer. And since there are active, but not uninstallable, i don't trust them... I also have the impression those app are eating up memory since my phone looks to be much slower. I did check taskmanager, but see nothing special. How do i get rid of this ? Any help welkom ! Thx

Hello all.
Not sure if any body knows of this or if anyone has been able to do it. If this is known knowledge then forgive me, but to me is new.
I stumbled upon this completely accidentally and still not completely sure how I did it. On stock room, rooted.
I have xhalofloatingwindow installed, an xposed module. This allows floating windows for app but one cannot interact with the window.
I then was trying out another app called slide launcher available on the market. It allows a quick launching of apps by sliding up from the home button, and up pops a list of pre selected apps. When selecting apps to launch, slide launcher gives an option for floating window which I enabled. The description of the app says it only work with PA rom. But guess what, it worked on my stock rom. And I am able to launch not one floating window but multiple. All movable and can interact.
The size of the floating window can be resized via the xhalofloatingwindow module setting.
See the screen shots

Tablet ui. He most probably changed the DPI or used an Xposed module.

Hey I downloaded an apk and I think it had some sort of virus in it. Ads popped up with no notification in the notification center.

Uninstall the app. If it doesn't work, try factory reset.
