Have I been hacked? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people today I updated an icon pack app from the play store which I have been using for some time called Immaterialis. Some time after the update I noticed the app drawer icon for this app changed to the android robot head and then something really weird happened on my home screen. My dropbox app icon changed to a Darth Vader head which tripped me out because my wallpaper is a star wars wallpaper. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it with titanium and it went away after a cache clear and reboot through twrp.
I'm sure its quite possible that this Darth Vader situation is unrelated to the icon pack update but I just can't get my head around it and I thought maybe my dropbox had been hacked.
I run several modules with exposed and basically any root mods I can without my phone spazzing out so I'm sure there is a number of factors that could be causing this issue, however I don't have any star wars themes etc other than the occasional wallpaper I import myself.
If someone could give me any info as I can't find anything on Google.
I have attached photos to show what system I am running and screenshots of the app drawer and home screen showing the Darth Vader head.
Cheers.

If someone was really hacking you, they would have completely been dicking with you, or stole all your **** without you knowing. Try a different launcher for the time being. And if you're really dead set on being hacked, use wireshark and see what goes where.

Cheers, don't you think the Darth Vader icon is a bit weird? I don't keep much in my dropbox anyway so they couldn't get much. I'm not overly paranoid about being hacked it just seems strange.
I'm only using stock launcher. How would a different launcher make a difference to security?
Cheers.

No doubt it's weird. But trying a different launcher would be to see if the icon is still applied. Of course, there is the possibility of one of your friends just messing with you

[MORPH]Smooth Progress[3/7]

Just a small tweak I figured themers could use or for anyone to flash. This morph changes the circular progress image to rotate smoothly.

Just to be sure this is a rotation something similar to the iphone.

I feel slow by asking if this was similar to the iphone rotation, you even showed what you meant by smooth progress. But would anyone know if there was a mod of some sort to make the rotation of the screen orientation solid and smooth rather than a snap to the landscape or vice versus

Hilarious Calendar Widget is Hilarious...

(AFAIK, These are HTC widgets, but I guess Sergey Brin made quite the impression on somebody...And I love the Terminator reference....).
Anyway, I thought it was funny, and I'll go ahead and take this chance to say Hi to everyone that's going to be part of this Forum...
(Personally, I've never been blown away by a phone out of the box like this one...
Can't wait for what's ahead!)

hahaha thats great
the 2x3 one is a stock Android widget, not an HTC one
"Soccer pratice"? Proof reader fail.
That one is actually a stock Google Calender widget. I'm looking at it right now on my Galaxy Nexus.

You wanna see a real easter egg? Go into the About settings of the phone and keep hitting the Android version. You get a Nyan cat animation with Ice-Cream-Sandwich style droid bots. Keep holding your finger down on the bot when he appears.
This works on my Galaxy Nexus, not sure if HTC took it out or not.

And that's not just ICS, they've hidden that egg since Gingerbread (where it was that creepy zombie gbread man, Honeycomb had the buzzing bee, and now Nyandroid. Then there's the RocketLauncher thing, but I'm not aware of anything else....
Anyone know if there is?

App advertising in notification bar

Hey guys. Hope u can help me. I started getting notifications for other apps. Its pretty annoying and although my phone seems to be running completely normal it bugs me and seems like some sort of virus. I'm sure its not, but I want to get rid of it. I have tried web root virus scans and my phone has no problems. It notifies me about twice a day. Here is a screenshot to show u guys what it looks like.

Go to play store and download air push detector. Will tell you which one is the spammer.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It's called airpush, it comes from some apps, if your rooted airblocker will fix it, if not I think you can use it to see what app is causing it

Did you download some wallpaper?
But the people above told you the solution
this is one reason i love MIUI. if any app tries to make an outside connection it alerts you and gives you an option to accept or deny the connection one time or there on after.
fyi shazam wants to know your gps location twice a day whether you use it or not
Thanks guys! Unfortunately the app couldn't find the problem but I did choose the option to email the list of apps to the developer to see if he can find the problem. I will update u guys when I find out which app is causing this.

I know for a fact the beats by dre from the android market that requires root cause spam. And plus it installs apps that you didn't download. I have both avast and lookout on my i717. I suggest them both and run virus scans on both sd.cards as well as apps. Things you lest suspect to cause issues throws up flags. What ever it says delete i would as a precautionary measure. Be warned superuser throws a flag sometimes. That would be the only one id leave along.let me know if that helps.good luck.
Ps if all else fails i hate to say it but factory restore is the sure way to fix it.

Have you tried using TrustGo Security? Best anti-push/mobile security app that I've used so far (I've used Avast, Lookout, and Airpush Detector). And it fixed a lot of problems that I had with Airpush/Leadbolt supported apps.
Just a suggestion, before you consider wiping and starting over.
Either way, best of luck with fixing the problem, as there's a lot of apps out there with spam crap in them. Just have to be careful. =P

Help me!! Republish a suspended game - Dragon Balls Picking

Hi,
I've just re-publish Dragon Ball Picking game with the new name.
This game used to has 49.000 downloads before. But I don't know why it is suspended by Google Play Team. I mailed to Google, they said that they cannot explain the problem further, they suggestion to publish new .apk.
I think the problem is the name of game "Dragon Ball Picking". So I changed it to "Monkey Boy Picking Balls" and republish.
I'm wondering if it is suspended again. Any suggestion? Please help me!!

Please help me to find out what the problem! I will fix it immediately to avoid suspending again

Yes, I have ads. But the other games has ad implemented in the same way is not suspended.
Then it must be the name. Google seems to be suspending apps that have intrusive ads. Like those that pop up every so often. Even when you're not using the app.

I mean we are talking a game that has "ball picking in the name" mayhaps try sphere snatching?
All I know if I saw a game about picking balls I would assume it was a guy trying to scratch his nads without getting nagged at by his wife.
Just sayin

Solid work on the art! Not bad for a game I have 1 gripe it isn't anything serious but the texture of the dragonballs on my Note 3 is kind of bad if you can retexture it or make it a little bit clearer then that would be great other than that runs fine on my phone! Good job.
