New home shell app available on market
Type in search bar mx home. It will populate with 2 versions download the one that's ces2011.

I can't find anything with what you gave to search.
Care to share a video our something?

I looked at it but I didn't download it. Looks interesting. Anyone actually try it?

I tried it. With out the full version, it is too difficult to say if it will be any good.

Search for MXHome, one word. As for the actual mod, I agree with raylusk. Though I can say from the limited amount I saw, I hated it. I'll take another look when someone takes the plunge and buys it but until then I won't lose any sleep thinking about how it might work. I despise the single clock screen with set icons.

Tried it. Aside from the 3D clock, the app list is a bit more structured. If you tap the app icon or slide up from the bottom, it brings up an app list that can be sorted by name, date or category. It looks okay, but it seems pretty limited especially when compared to a shell like LauncherPro.

Tried it. Imo they are trying too hard. Its neat but over the top bloatware.

Malware on my phone? :(

So mysterious bookmarks keep appearing on my home screen every other day. I sort of ignored it at first but now there's one called SMS spy and something about location and now I'm creeped out. Anyone have any ideas? These don't show up in application cache or anything, just on my home screen.

I have never heard of that before. What happens when you click it? Does it direct you to a website?
I would also browse your root folder directories and see if you can find anything out of the ordinary.

Someone is trying to spy on your text messages. Does anyone suspect you of cheating? Let us know the juicy details.
Google SMS spy and you will understand.

Shift apps/malware for sure. Uncheck "install from unknown sources" and try to track down the rogue app. If you can't find anything, I'd factory reset. Don't wanna mess around with that stuff.

what have you been installing? any apps that aren't allowed to be discussed here can cause things like that.

Bro if your gonna download apps illegally, at least get a bunch of security applications, like 6 of em for 6 different opinions.
Speaking of malicious, Has anyone got a warning about Super user being malicious??? That is what both of security applications said. And I got it from the play store.

*facepalm*
Antivirus on anything is pointless if you're doing something completely legit.

Yes it does actually, so it must be a bookmark...I hope. But how would they all get there?? Ok I'll give it a shot, not sure what "ordinary" looks like but I'll see.

Some apps from the market will do that. If you are getting any of the air push ads then that's what it is. Some apps are in the market that will do that. Best to find which app it is and delete it. That is from my experience.

Not nesesarily true, malicious apps have been found on the Play Store in the past.

Yeah but obviously a game or app that seems too good to be true is where malware is found. Not in angry birds. Like I said totally legit.

A few apps from the play store will add bookmarks to your home screen. TBH I can't name any off the top of my head but has happened on my GF android before. Chances are an app you have downloaded has been developed by the same people who make this "SMS spy" app. I would go through installed Apps and note who the publisher is and see if any are the same as the SMS spy app.
Chances are its just pain in arse advertising.

As indyred99 said. Some apps allow air push ads. Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.byq.airblocker from the play store. (Must be rooted) reboot, then they will stop.
Also, only install apps from the play store.

(App)Get rid of widgets on lockscreen 4.2!

This isn't my work but it works perfect. It seems everyone has same opinion on the annoying lock screen widgets and the way they were implemented.

That'll come in handy.. Thanks for the heads up.. Agreed.. 4.2's lockscreen is easily one of the top 5 worst new features I've ever seen put in an Android build.. I think of it in the same light as I thought of Active Desktop on Windows 98.. It's one step away from having animated under construction gifs and broken image geocities links.

So I for some reason I can't get the play store to let me install this. Ply store errors out and the web says not compatible!
Fixed. Had to delete and re add my Google account....

Agreed. Its just too clunky with too much going on. How it was before was perfect.

Google Settings app

just noticed this; when did it appear!?

Where at? Can you post a screen shot?

I received bunch of updates and see this new Google settings. I believe it is something to do with this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...n-in-simple-and-secure-minus-the-social-spam/

I'm so thoroughly confused what is even being discussed here. Such vague posts and no specifics..

It is a little worrying that it seems like a Google Settings app just appears without any interaction from me...can't even see which Google app got updated?

It just appeared on my device too...

It has here as well, how very odd!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Ok, after some brief digging around. It appears it is part of Google Play Services.. Which before no one was entirely sure what it was used for, it appears we now have an idea.. To use as a gateway for Google to install their loot on your device at will.
That app is the only one I have open.. As you see, Google Play Services is responsible for it.

There was zero notification either!
Seems to have a lot of perms too.
Yup, if you hold and drag to App Info it shows as Google Play Services.

The strange part of it is.. I have my Nexus 10 sitting right in front of me and that app doesn't exist and I have no updates.

I was wondering why my internet connection lagged so bad to the point where I couldn't do anything.. Then this settings app showed up.

Have not got it. Is it only those with G+ who have received it?

This explains all the google wake locks I have been getting over the past few days. They have been doing this in pieces. I went in and froze the play services and the locks are gone for now.

nothing yet... maybe i have a black google+...?
who knows...i ll be wait...!!

Browsers not displaying content.

I Ann running AOKP but this has always been an issue. What setting do I have to change to get content to display on my browsers? So the screen shots site what a lot of sites look like. It's not all sites but it's some. This one is joann . com / coupon. I was in this site with my wife today and tried to use a coupon. Her stock nexus 4 running 4.3 displays everything just fine. I tried dolphin, which is my default, stock browser, and chrome. They ask display like this. I know it must be a setting but I don't know which one.
My wife is now giving my crap because my "fancy phone that I just can't leave alone isn't working right" and she "just knew I would break something“.
