Recently I have been getting spam ads in my notification bar I think it was from installing GNES lite but I'm not sure. also an icon appeared on my desktop that was some sort of spam. I'm curious if anyone has any tips how to isolate the source so I can get rid of it.

I would look into the settings of all the apps you've installed around the time you first noticed it. Other than that, it might be a process of elimination. How about checking the play store page for the apps too? I'm sure other ppl will comment on that in the reviews.

Glad you found it already. I thought I'd leave a little tip here in case you didn't know and need it in the future. If you long press on a notification an "App Info" button will come up which will take you directly to the app responsible for the notification. From there you can disable notifications for that app by unchecking the "Show Notifications" box.

Get Mupen64 or N64oid. N64oid isn't in the play store, but you can find it in other places. I personally find N64oid to work better and have some better options.

you have an app that is causing that to appear. Find the app and uninstall it. I think there's some app on the market that searches your phone for the culprit but I have not needed this app so I dont know what its called. I'll leave that to someone else who might remember what it is.
Oh weird. Thanks. I look into it

Its most likely the Mp3 download application. Download airpush detector to see what app is causing the ads

The app actually works really well for music, it just occasionally puts an advertisement in your notification bar haha

Does anybody know what this green plus symbol "+" is in the upper left of the notification bar? When I pull down the bar and click on it, it takes me to a link in the browser. Its not an email. I recently installed Lookout premium on my phone. Not sure if this has anything to do with it. Every time it pops up its a different site. This one says something about Att users. I ran a full check on my phone. No malware or viruses. Help. Ths is the third time it has popped up. Thanks! How do you attach a screen shot to this site?

I can't seem to figure out how to create an instant mix from a song using the android app. Is this possible?

It's possible. Just go to the "Now playing" window and press the settings icon in top right corner of the display. The first first menu item on the drop down list will allow you to create and play an instant mix based on the current song. The instant mix will now show "Playlists".
You can also go to "Songs" and press the triangle in the bottom right corner of a track and create it from there.
Thanks but I don't see the instant option anywhere. I see add to playlist but that is just a normal playlist with the album or song added to it.

That's weird. When I'm looking at the exact same screen as your screendump, I have the option just below "Add to queue". What version of Play Music are you on?

Hmm, I'm on the same version... You could try clearing app data and see if that helps.

So it looks like you can only start an instant mix with files stored on the served not the device.

So, all your songs are stored locally and have not been uploaded? That's the reason - they need to be uploaded in order for an instant mix to be created.
Makes sense. Thanks for the help

Anyone know how to stop Google Music from automatically creating Instant Mixes? I've never created one myself, yet when I go to my Google Music main page, there are several Instant Mixes that appear. I've tried looking through the settings, as well as searching online, but am unable to figure out what is causing this. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks very much.
Has anyone else noticed that the back button implementation sucks when used in multitasking?
For example, I'm browsing XDA using the XDA app. Somebody links to the Play Store. I follow the link to check it out, then hit back, which should take me back to the XDA app. But it doesn't. It takes me through my entire Play Store history and if I hit back ten times or whatever, it will exit Play Store and finally take me back to the XDA app. I've also seen this happen with YouTube. I don't think it's an issue with the browser, however.
Anybody else?

it's jellybean. same problem on the nexus devices.
Really? Wow. That's good to know.
I could have sworn it worked correctly on my Transformer Prime running CM10, though. I'll have to double check when I get home.
Thanks.

Yep, I can confirm that on the x920e (China variant of Butterfly) back button can be iffy at times.

Every so often I get a different on screen google message during phone calls; e.g. "you lost me at java" or, currently, "what a wonderful world."
Does anyone know what's behind these aphorisms or from where they are pulled?

That should not be any part of the rom. Sounds like you have a rouge app causing this.
Never heard of that. Screenshots?

Here is a cropped screenshot during a call with the contact info cut out. I realized that it only happens when I'm calling a contact whose gmail I have stored.
Might it possibly have something to do with gchat or the gapps package?
