For ppl who dosen't want ads and support us.

Thanks but no thanks:
This app pushes ads to the user's notification bar and collects all sorts of info.

I think Leadbolt is a quite legit service and nobody has ever accused our apps of malware.
If someone really has such a problem with push ads [damn, that one notification a day] there's an adblock available.

It doesn't matter your opinion of the ad company - but the opinion of those who might want your app does.
Why don't you try creating a settings menu for choosing the clock style/color and put an ad right there at the bottom? Most people can deal with ads like that.

They have the worst ratio :]
guess why

Seriously? Wants my location and pushes ads? Get out.

Do us all a favour and stop posting your crapware on XDA. Every single app you make is riddled with push ads and data gathering permissions, not welcome here

After reading your post, I went on to read Werg's other threads because I wanted to be sure that he wasn't going to be under fire due to hasty generalization.
Turns out, you're right. Three apps, three apps with push.
Werg, you need to understand that "it's just one notification a day" is not a good defense. If everybody started doing what you're doing, then it would be dozens if not more notifications a day. Not to mention that these notifications seemingly coming out of nowhere really creep people out.
This being said, I apologize for hijacking your thread because your minimalistic clocks are nice.

Let me rephrase one thing:
Apps are free _because_ they have ads. Not the other way around. We could go with paid versions for those better widgets but I'm almost sure nobody would get it.
Or maybe I'm wrong, and you'd prove me wrong after we release paid non-ad versions of our apps?

We made this app to be THE Pocket Fan killer. Both of these apps are simple one-screeners with rotating propeller, but our is simply that much better.
Here's an extract from our app description:
This application creates a high-quality sound that operates on certain frequences providing you an effect of an actual chilly air coming from your speakers!
Two speeds: normal and fast
Also works great if you have troubles with sleeping! Let your screen go into sleep mode and have a comfortable noise coming out from the fan to make falling asleep process easier!

It looks kind of interesting I think I will review it on my blog in the category of funny android apps.

Just wrote a short review about it, you can find it right here.

Instant remove after your notification ads.

interesting idea...

Ads are ads and they are very important if you plan to release few apps in order to actually get some $ from it. It's simple as that and if there was a better solution, we'd take it. With that being said, I believe that free apps even with ads are better than pay-only apps that you rather see on iOS market.
Thanks guys!
@sharonlewis Cool. Appreciate it!

*snort* Right. So, push advertisements and probably even some nice malware, mh?

I think Leadbolt is a quite legit service and nobody has ever accused our apps of malware. Unless real proofs are there, no actions shall be taken except a smile when I read your message. If someone really has such a problem with push ads [damn, that one notification a day] there's an adblock available.

Ads are OK, but in the notification bar is not cool. That's involuntary, and that's a problem for the users.
I'm a dev myself, so not meaning to be rude .

[APP] AD Block Remover - Remove the AD Blockers

Hey all,
I wanted to let everyone here know about an application I wrote a while back. I actually completely forgot about the application until earlier today when I flashed a new ROM onto my phone. I'm all about cyanogen which is why i never have to use this application but recently I wanted to try a Sense based ROM on my Evo 4G LTE. The issue i had was immediately after flashing the ROM (that will remain anonymous) none of my ads were working.
Long story short it's because of a modified hosts file in the OS (Which I had no idea would come with the ROM). Now, although this is an open source community, some people here prefer to block advertisements. I believe it is wrong and it completely goes against anything that we, as an open source community, stand for. It is ok and it is our choice to run these ad blocks or not but a lot of people must be using these ROMS with a modified hosts file without even knowing. What a lot of people don't realize is that the ads help keep things free. It helps pay for servers costs, etc.
I want to make something very clear. I do not have a problem with people blocking advertisements. I do have a problem with very popular ROM developers mass producing and giving other people roms that are pre packaged to block advertisements. They dont even inform the user that it will block ads. The fact that it is blocking advertisements is ok but the fact that it is blocking ads by default without checking that the user supports such a decision is wrong.
Anyways, I'm not here to preach, I am here to give people the option to remove these ad blockers.
If you want to support the open source community check out this very simple application called 'Ad Block Remover':
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.av1rus.adblockremover
This application allows you to make a copy of your current hosts file and also restore it if you have an issue.
If you make a copy you can search it to see if you have popular ad blocks like admob or adsense. If you do you can either remove only the lines you choose or you can return it back to stock where it will not block any advertisements.
Let me know what you guys think...
Also, you guys are free to use this application however you please. You can even use it to transfer a hosts file from one rom to another or restore a hosts file to block advertisements.
Lastly, let me clarify one more time. I really do not care who blocks the ads... Just give an option.

I've been hacked, can you help me to see where was the problem?

Hello
Information:
Just 2 hours ago I have been hacked and I think that was in my phone. I was making a paypal payment to a friend using the paypal app when sudently, seconds after sending the payment I received a mail of paypal with that transaction and another one of 2.500€ that obviously I never did.
The payment was never make because I don't have so many funds, but they tried 5 times with different quantities and all of my cards. Well, after seeing this I changed my password and all of that **** and right now I want to know before I make a clean rom install if I could investigate where the hack came from.
I am using a Galaxy note 3, it is rooted but limited apps have access to root and I also use xprivacy.
The apps with access to root and the xposed modules are this ones

What I want
I want to investigate if is possible a little bit more of this. I was thinking on restoring a Titanium of all my apps to yesterday, open logcat or any app that can help me to know where the leak came and what app was the malware and try to make another legit transaction to see if happens anything from my phone.
The problem is that I don't really know how should I proceed and I want to solve this for me and more people.
Any idea?

Is the network you used secure out of curiosity? What kind of apps do you have as far as security just curious?

You could try taking a look at some of the applications' play store reviews as well as the modules' forum threads to see if anything had been reported. I'm always very cautious with root permissions, hard to always know what an app will use it for. Personally I stick to my PC for transactions and stay as far away from Google wallet as I can

There's a VirusTotal app you could try, maybe one of your apps is malicious. But if you'd know how to, I'd also just copy all the apps to your PC and then upload them to VirusTotal that way, it'd be a lot easier.
There's also some pc malware out that can infect your phone even. I'd run a decent anti virus on both your phone and your pc as well. (I like Kaspersky, Malwarebytes and ESET personally).
The other thing too is maybe your passwords are just really weak. I'd recommend a password generator like Keepass.

Fyi only

Has my N5 been hacked?

I keep getting popups:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I hit the 'back' button I get:
Something is also opening Google Play to a page for a specific app. I haven't paid much attention but the last time it was for a dating app. I thought that maybe I hit the advertising banner on some page or another, but I've been more careful about that and these still keep coming up.
I'm running 5.0.1, not rooted and using the Nova launcher. The only unauthorized (not from the Play Store) app installed is one I wrote.
Where are these coming from?
Thanks!

You're not hacked, those are popups which website use to infect/earn money on people. Just don't tap on it and you should be fine.

Yes, you've been hacked by anonymous.

Thanks.
I wonder how they can be blocked.

Install Sophos Security or AVG antivirus and run a full scan on your device.

Security software, or even AdAway should do it.

I had already tried CM and it found no threats beyond a lot of cookies. I uninstalled it and tried Sophos. It identified Real Piano as an app that could serve unwanted ads. I uninstalled Real Piano and so far have not seen these popups any more.

I'm glad Sophos helped. People believe that there are no malware threats on Android. Unsolicited adware can even be more bothersome as they are installed inside of applications but can run whether or not the application is active (malware!)
You might be interested in Mobile Security|NowSecure (ViaForensics) for further insight into where your installed applications are connecting.

Occasionally, some sites (including xda several months ago) will serve up similar fake (scareware) ads when they detect a mobile Android device. If you have installed adaway, these ads are usually not presented. Or if you aren't rooted, try out Ghostery browser from the play store. Works pretty good too.
Make sure you have the option to install from unknown sources (settings/security) disabled as a precaution.
(If you notice these ads on reputable sites, do contact the site administrators. XDA got the issue fixed 2-3 days after I reported it to them)
