It's apart of CM7 or some ROMs. It is PinyIME, it is a Google keyboard that allows English -> Chinese.
Could you also CHILL OUT? Stop going "OMFG WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!??!" It's just a app, nothing malicious. Open Titanium Backup and simply uninstall it (or use ADB/Root Explorer) whatever you want.

It's on your device because you put it there. It's part of the firmware, not part of the "device."
You installed a non-stock firmware then panicked when you found a non-stock application running. Did you even consider reading about whatever firmware you're running to see what it comes with?

I can fault you for the way you reacted to it, considering you have 3000+ posts. I expected a more mature post. You obviously installed a non-stock ROM (or applied mods because you have battery %). The old CM7 nightlies included the same exact app, PinyIME. It's pretty much just a keyboard.
And agreed with mstevens. You flashing custom ROMs, you shouldn't be surprised if random apps are included with the ROM.

Ok Ok he overreacted but it seems he honestly thought he had some malware, so I say some slack can be cut. All's well that ends well

thats how the device was sent to me. so i didnt install anything but my apps from titanium backup.
thanks for your MATURE response though.

That's Pinyin IME, the app that comes with AOSP, actually you should also get the Japanese IME. If you do not use Chinese and Japanese input method, you can just uninstall them without any problem.

Unwanted SPAM messages in drop down

I must have installed something that included an 'advertise to you' clause. How do I find out what it is so I can get rid of it. Pisses me OFF!
I get a message every day along with a star in the top bar till I clear it, telling me I have won an iPad. AAARRRGGGGG!

Wow, that would be annoying, did you try adfree?

You've installed something that's doing that. I had something similar myself but was lucky enough to identify the culprit (it was an MP3 downloader).
You can either post your complete app list here and hope someone recognises the app that's causing it, or you can factory reset and rebuild your phone app-by-app.
Another idea would be to round up any suspect apps (one's not installed from the market or ones that do "naughty things") and freeze them with Titanium Backup. If the problem goes away then you know you've narrowed it down.

Got rid of it.
Read another similar post that suggested it was Air Push. Downloaded Air Push Detector and it identified Mechanical gear live wall paper. Uninstalled it so its gone now. Shame cos I liked the wall paper.
I thought though that it would allow me to keep it but disable the spam.
Speaking of, I'm really concerned about some of the permissions that may invade my privacy. For example, I wonder if an app that requires access to my contact list is just accessing it to provide the service it is designed for or if it is sending that info back to the designer or marketing companies for the purposes of information gathering or further advertising.
Is there any way I can block these permissions on a grand scale without individually setting them with 'Permissions' app, which of course only works on a rooted unit. My TAB is rooted but my SGS2 is not and won't be till its out of warranty.

As an example:
An app called Wi-Fi Finder has a permission to 'directly call phone numbers'. I mean WTF. Firstly why does it need this permission and secondly WTF?
What possible reason could this app have to do this and who would it call and whats the privacy repurcussions for me?

Seems that requies the phone to be rooted

Addons Detector should find the culprit.

You're not going to be able to handle permissions at all if you're not rooted. The only apps I've seen for handling permissions do it on an app-by-app basis. I've not heard of anything that do it at a system-wide level. Obviously doing it at the system level would cause problems for the times when apps do legitimately need permissions you've blocked, but you're the user - that's your choice.
Maybe it's time to learn to dev

There are a few apps in the market that you can get to block these. I've still noticed the odd spam msg will get through though.

I downloaded a zombie game (cant remember which one) and i started getting the same spam messages frequently.. Just look back to any games you previously downloaded right before this started happening and delete it

I think I used Air Push detector to detectit was a Gear Live wall paper I had insalled over the weekend. I just didn't put 2 and 2 together. Couldn't just disable the spam. Had to remove the app :/ Pity. I liked it.

Go Keyboard
I found out who is using the Green Smiley Face ad notification on the progress bar. Its from Go Dev Team. They have an app for keyboards. Go Keyboards. If you have it, then that's the ass app.
Sucks cause I like their work but hates ads enough to delete it. I sent them a long message about killing it for me and will warn who is pushing ads.

Still requiring phone numbers huh? 150 installed apps and this is the first that needs a phone number. Why?

Its not enough of an upgrade if any over datpiff to require a phone number.

Why?
Why did you start another thread for this app?
What was wrong with this one?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568649
There is a mass amount of information in the Android apps section. We certainly don't need multiple threads for the same app, by the same person.
I thought you were going to be removing the phone number requirement. Did you start this new thread to hide the phone number requirement complaints from the other thread?
Now I'm wondering if your app is shady, and simply farming phone numbers.
Please explain, because I am about to go on a crusade AGAINST this app.

this is what happened ----->>> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ms.android.mixtapes
my app was removed from the android market and the link about is a new one directly to mediafire. Im still working on the profile page and im definitely removing the phone number. If you want just type any number in the box doesnt make a difference to me, it can be all 1's if it makes you feel better.
hope this clears up the questions

Why did google remove it from the play store? Another reason to presume it's shady :/

Why start a new thread, and not just edit the old one? You could have made the old thread say whatever you wanted with whatever link you wanted, just by editing the post. You don't need to start an entirely new one. I have threads I started months ago where I still edit the first post with new and updated information.
Anyway, thanks for the clarification. I will be keeping my eye out for the removal of the phone number requirement.

someone sent a dcma complaint saying i was stealing intellectual property and violating copyright infringement. they did it out of spite or to remove me as competition from the market. everything in the app was designed by my graphic designer from scratch. and google didnt even care to warn me they just removed us.

what's the first thing you do

I just received my tablet whats the first steps i should do, how can i get titanium backup, also the left bottom screen sticks out
Lastly what are the nost productive apps i can use to make my tab efficient

first thing YOU should do, is send it back because of that defect.

This.
I am going to get supernote or whatever.
I know the very FIRST app I will mess with will be Google Music to get my entire collection downloaded for offline use.

The first thing I do is read the right threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764480
That'll cover apps to try out. Theres exsisting threads about how to root, which is required for TB.

but to answer your question, the first thing i do, after re-installing all of my apps of course, is restore the data to my apps.
and i believe you need to be Rooted to get full use out of Titanium backup. But the Infinity comes with an that lets you back up the data and the apps.
head over to the Theme forum for answers to the best apps.

If you choose to restore data in addition to apps, be sure to take it slow. Restoring data is a common way of causing seemingly unrelated problems without realizing it.

i usually restore data based on the app. For example, NoteEverything has a backup and restore function. I use the built in restore function (if available) of my apps to do any restoring. Back when i had my DX, i used titanium to restore data. Its been a long time since i did a full data restore.

setup wireless silly
:fingers-crossed:

First think would be to un-box it and if you are in a mood, you can record the unboxing and post it on youtube

haha i took pictures of it, set up wifi and downloaded chrome so i dont ever have to use stock browser. now im trying to get the apps from my htc one x to go into this one. is it possible to copy the backups of apps on my phone into the storage of tablet ? and the screen jets out very little but why would i wait a week for amazon to receive it, then to ship out yet another one , not knowing if it will be the same or not .
i then went to best buy about 10 minutes ago and bought a tf201 dock. its a LOT of purple lol. whoever made the thread saying it isnt, is blind. if you have just 1 window it does randomly turn into aluminum gray but wow in like no light the thing is all 7 shades of purple ;] haha i can see that bothering a businessman enough to make him return it but im a hispter and like the color difference so ill keep it. when you guys show people the tablet pretend its a net book, then tear the screen right off and watch their faces DROP xD

Exactly what I do. I go through and restore app+data only on things that need it. Games, color note, so on. I learned the hard way when I couldn't access part of the settings after flashing. Turned out that I was restoring fonts and **** that had no business being restored. Stupid noob mistakes.

[Q] security: chronologically keep track of all my apk installs

I recently received another scammish text which led me to suspect an app or apk I installed was to blame (possibly). Is there a way to chronologically see things I've installed on my phone. Stock Downloads app won't work because if I deleted the apk or installed it in a different way it won't show. There should be a way to see all of the things you've installed non market, apks, modules, or whatever. To be able to trace back and find a culprit. Kinda like a criminal rap sheet.

Your best bet is TITANIUM BACKUP !!! Sort all apps by date installed it will give you time installed !!!

No. I want something that can chronologically list on my phone all of those things that I've installed or modified or installed then deleted. Like a total history of installs.

That's good advice to give about my device, from someone that can't take care of a 46 yo time machine. I need a way to log all installed/uninstalled apps, apks, modules, and /system changes. Where's it at?

Please elaborate....

Haven't heard of such a thing. Sorry.
Titanium can tell you app installs, even play store kinda keeps track. Initial install order anyway.
But to track apps, mods, alterations...anything? Nope. And flashing in recovery would not be trackable inside the O/S anyway.

Basically, if there isn't some kind of a thing on the play store....then it doesn't exist.

Scam texts are pretty common in some countries. I don't think it has anything to do with an app you installed unless you gave Snapchat your phone number as they got hacked a while back.

No snap chat for me. I thought of this idea for logs of this stuff before. There's got to be a way!

If you made an app to log package installs it would be a waste of time + have to be running on your device all the time. It'll also hardly be of any use, since most people aren't installing like 20 apps a day, every day. Just write it down if you really need to LOL.
For packages you currently have installed via Play or .apk installation you could go into /data/app and look at the dates on the .apk files. If you flashed something in recovery it'll show up as August 1 1970 or August 1 2008 or whatever generic date. As said previously, Titanium Backup uses this if you sort by date lol.
