I am concerned. I woke this morning to find a new shortcut on one of my screens for Handango Lite Mobile Store. I did not put it there, nor have I ever been to that website.
I am currently running Calkulin's E4GT v1.0 Beta 3
Am hoping that someone has had a similar issue that can set my mind at ease and tell me how this happened.
Hi,
I am looking for the same answer you are. I have the Nexus S and it is not rooted and I had the same icon on one of my screens.
This is continually happening and i am hoping that someone will have an answer. This thread has been open for several weeks with no hint of an answer coming. Can anyone tell me how handango just randomly applies a shortcut to my homescreen? I dont want it to happen, and it smells of malware.. IE: some program applying changes to your OS without your permission in order to elicit a response from you inadvertently.
It's probably because of an app you have installed. Download air push detector from the market to check if you have Apps that are responsible for that.

Thanks for your suggestion. I completely wiped the phone and installed Calkulin's latest update. I am running minimal apps right now to see if it happens again. I downloaded that app and it had not found anything, so that is good. Thanks again.

So, I switched from Stock EB13 to Syndicate ROM 1.0, just a couple days before 1.0.1 released. One thing I thought was kinda neat was that when I went to choose a Widget, instead of listing different sized widgets for the same app and making a huge list, it would just list the app once and put the number of available widgets next to it. It made browsing the long list of widgets much cleaner and easier.
A couple days later when 1.0.1 released and I wiped and loaded that, I lost that cool condensed widget list. Can anyone tell me why?
I don't have any idea whether this was Syndicate ROM specific, or something to do with switching to Launcher Pro from TouchWiz, or something else entirely. Maybe it's even just a setting I overlooked?
Thanks if you can point me in the right direction!

Thanks, that appears to be exactly what I was thinking of. I didn't have to install it separately before, though. Was it included in 1.0 and removed from 1.0.1? I don't want to reinstall if it was removed for a good reason (stability, etc).

I just installed the ICS Beta III
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343361
A half hour later or so I get an email from Google 'Welcoming me to my Galaxy Nexus'.
Has this happened to anyone else???
Did you happen to wander into the about section and click on system updates?

Nope, I flashed the ROM then downloaded a couple of apps from the Market as I was doing that I got the email.
All the links go to Google. I am just wondering is it something buried in the ICS code. Once you log on with your Google account it sends out a standard email to the account.
I don't really want to bother any of the dev's with it. They have enough to worry about right now without someone hassling them about something that is not that important in the grander sceme of things.
It's because the galaxy nexus is the only ICS Device with release codes for market so far. That will disappear once a more similar HTC device is released with ICS and we have a broader selection of release codes to choose from. Earlier beta's ran on test codes. They can be changed in build.prop.
Cheers man. I just could not understand it since it did not happen when I flashed the 1st and 2nd beta roms.
Thanks for posting this MrBC I also got this email and was curious about it.
I got this email as well MrBC...
Of course they can track what ROM use are using to browse android market. For example, I have recently update to Android revolution 2.3.5 and now not able to install few app which I used to have earlier on stock ROM 2.3.4.
I also got this
just ignore it lol
what i wondered was if it thinks we have a nexus why can we still not see some android apps lol
It's still beta so there are plenty of bugs. Its possible that there is a framework bug, or some component is missing. Then there is still the fact the a lot of apps on market are listed as not compatible with ICS. I'd expect it to take until 2012 before we have a fully functioning ROM and a fully working market.

So I downloaded this and I've never used Beautiful Widgets before, so this was my first. I found a very nice skin "Ice Cream Sandwich" by Tama-Chan.
I go to Settings as I'm not sure if you can change something, and when I go into General, it just Force Closes everytime. I un-installed and installed again and it's still FC'ing.
Also, is it possible to edit an existing skin? I just want to get rid of two black boxes surrounding the clock and the blue border, but I'm not sure you can. I have googled as much as I can and I can't find anything.
Any guidance would be very helpful, thanks in advance
What version you on for ICS and BW? BW had a update just a little bit ago and not sure if that fixed what you are having issues with or not as I already updated. I did install the skin you have and I was able to get to the settings no problem and no FC at all. I am running 41D for ICS.
Well it was pretty recent as I snapped it up during the 10p sale. I'm using the standard ICS no custom ROMS flashed or anything. Do you think I should uninstall and install again? Or does that mean I have to pay again? I'm such an Android noob lol...this is my first true Android phone

You don't have to pay again once you've purchased it!
The app however was updated either today or last night, so go to the market and update it! It fixed all of the crashing problems for me
Thanks a lot! The update fixed my problems

It is possible to modify the skins. Go to /sdcard/data/beautifulwidgets. The sub folders will be like: tskins (toggle skins), wskins (weather skins) etc. Those folders contain the image(s) for the skins

If I can reuse this thread. Does anyone know how to stop the temperature displaying in the notification area?
I already have the Accuweather app doing this (with a bigger better version)
I've turned off notifications in the widget but its still there?

Is there an online version of the kitchen? I ask because it is the last resort to get a fully functional Rom on my evo before I allow my daughter to have it other than using my nandroid of my original and unrooting.
I use a 64-bit system Windows 7. Done research and it says a 32-bit Java will work but that is false. I have spent from 9am until an hour ago (3:30pm here now) formating my hard-drive and reinstalled my OS because it didn't work. Still the kitchen doesn't find Java although I tried to instal a 32-bit version. Online is the only way I can do anything or I need a step-by-step on what I need to do to an apk where I can do it on my phone or I am in need of someone building a Rom. So.....is there one online?
What are you doing? Making a fully functional ROM? Why not take a stock rooted or a working GB ROM like reloaded?
Yea just get a stock 5.07 rooted rom. Not really sure what you're trying to do

I am letting my daughter have my Evo. She has been hardcore blackBerry but given their status she is wanting to try Android. I have flashed every Rom on the first 10 pages of Development and what she has settled on as far as wanting most is Energy Rom. There are 3 problems stopping her from being totally happy with it. First is the 9016. After a lot of searching all I can find is it is tied to the Phone.apk. I have been unsuccessful at changing it out. The carousel shows only a grey screen when looking in Personalize but have been unsuccessful at getting the one from Mik3D installed and working since I know the one from that Rom works. The browser not going to mobile view and being to wide unless in landscape has been the only thing I have fixed. i used Root Explorer and deleted it and moved a basic stock in. Somehow it worked although the other things haven't. I had decided to try my hand at the kitchen to see if I could make the changes that way but it doesn't work on my PC regardless of what i try and believe me when I say I have taken extreme measures to make it work. So my hopes are that either someone can point me in the right direction on how to exchange an apk using only what tools I can find for my phone or in the direction of a kitchen online. For my phone I have installed: Root Explorer,File Manager and ZipSign2.

She's that picky? Tell her to get an iPhone. LOL
Even she is smart enough to know the first flip phone I ever purchased from Sprint way back when they finally got small enough to fit in your pocket is still better than the best Apple ever released.
However,with a little help I think I can make my life easier. I flashed Derp3D again and only 2 small things needed. First is the keyboard. How do I get the HTC back on and with dictionary? Last is how do I get the weather widget with sound? Those are the only things needed. Themes will be easy enough to handle.
Have you tried MikG v3.11 ? Uber Stable. Has a lot of Themes, and Mods available.

The newest Jellybread has the 9016 number blocked, or you can use Go SMS and blacklist it, plus everything else you mentioned works

The kitchen won't help you for fixing the things you want to fix )besides the fact that there isn't an online version). The kitchen just essentially makes it easier to do the things you're already doing. But EnergyROm is a Sense 3.5 ROM, which is not what the EVO natively comes with. So, there will ALWAYS be issues with it, like the VVM 9016 texts, no 4G, etc. And trying to swap things in from a Sense 3.0 ROM (Mik3D) will only cause more issues. I think you're going to have to "put your foot down" and let your daughter know she can either have a fully functional ROM that doesn't look exactly as she wants, or she can have the eye candy she wants without full functionality.
There are plenty of fully functional ROMs out there with a Sprint base that don't have the 9016 issue. Honestly, those all seem to be extremely minor issues to me. Sounds like you should just bite the bullet and get her an EVO LTE, lol.
I have seen a lot of good reviews of Kendall's ROM, though. But I'm going to assume that's not what your daughter is looking for. Sounds like she likes the look/widgets of Sense.
I remember back in the day I tried a sense 3.0 rom that didn't do the 9016 or whatever, but I don't see how that bugs her. Its just a text message that would only take 2 seconds to delete. When I ran those roms, it wasn't a big deal to me.
With the sense weather part, still didn't have a problem with that either. Just had to turn sound up.

I am not on your phone platform, but found this thread searching for others with Google Keep problems. I installed Keep last night, fired it up and it crashed. Tried again,, crashed. Rebooted the phone and when it came back it was like it had lost a bunch of 'data files' . By that I meant the phone acted as though it was factory reset, yet all apps were there. 90% of them would not run and those that did acted like they were just installed and had none of my settings. Restored data only via Titanium Backup and had to reinstall a couple apps. I may wait awhile and see if it was just me that had this kind of failure.
It works fine for me.
It's not all that exciting, but it's functional.
same here, used to work with stock 4.0.4 but since I have installed (from scratch) Alliancerom 4.1.2 on my S2, it keeps crashing on launch...
any idea ?
Are you guys having issues while running a custom ROM? I had issues with Keep on NoWizAOSP until the developer tweaked something and then it started working.
I had problems with NoWiz. Other ROMs worked fine w/Keep. I'm going to grab the latest NoWiz and see if it's working now.

if it can help, in my case it was caused by a customised Google Play (official Google Play but with a dark theme) bundled in Rom Alliance.
I had to uninstall it and reinstall the standard Google Play and it worked.
hope it will help.
Thanks for the hint. I don't have a themed or homebrewed version of Play, so no luck there. I can find random reports here and there of people experiencing this, on various phones with various - but always cooked - roms. So my guess is that Keep calls on something possibly not included in some of the roms out there... Speaking out my **s of course, as I have in fact no idea
Guess I'll have to wait a few days/weeks and see what the deal is.

I figured out the problem. You have to edit your build.prop file located in the system folder. You have to be rooted to do this.
Look for the line that says ro.build.type=user and change it to ro.build.type=userdebug
Then make sure to reboot the device.
Now it should work. I was having the same problem. ?
