Supposedly, Temple Run by Imangi Studios came out on the market, well, it's a fake.
I downloaded it, when you click the play button, it says coming in 4 days 10 hours..., then it says hit like on facebook to play. Well, I doubt they would do that if it was real. Also, I got ad-notifications.
DON'T DOWNLOAD IT YET. They will post it officially on facebook when released.
good looking out. If I would have saw it I would have downloaded.
Um I think I have a virus on my phone now....I uninstalled the app (I downloaded it before finding out that their was fake) and now I keep getting shortcuts added to my home screen....I don't understand why is it doing that considering I already removed the app and there's nothing left to uninstall.

Have you tried any of the lookout security apps?
Yeah, I installed lookout and it said my system was clean but every time I reboot my phone, a new app shortcut is added to my home screen.

Since nobody else has weighed in... maybe download an app like Gemini App Manager or Autostarts and see if you can find remnants of the app that has an autostart script on it. Or try clearing your caches including Dalvik. Just some ideas.
I knew this thread would come out handy.

Thanks for the help. I tried using Gemini and autostarts and couldn't find anything but I think clearing the caches did the trick.

When I check my apps on the android market place not all of them are there!, I was looking for apps that I've recently download it from the market place and they are simply not there, anyone know what is going on here?.
And I mean when you check your downloaded apps not all show up which they should, such as angry birds and a whole bunch of others

The issue was finally fix when I unistalled the updated market version, and went back to the old market and than I upgraded the market app. All you have to do to upgrade after downgrading it is: open it up exit it and wait 5 mins and relaunch it, it should self update like this

well if you used a sideloader or used a backup program (rooted device backup) then they will not show on the market

I believe there was a market update. Download any app from the market, then force stop the market from settings/applications/manage applications (Market will be under the "All" tab). Open it and check again. If it's still broken, try rebooting.
If that doesn't work, try clearing data for the market from "manage applications"

this generally happens because of content filter settings.
If you have the NEW market,
1) press menu button,
2) tap settings
3) adjust content filter settings to show you all apps.
If you dont have NEW market,
No Idea!! I connected to my 3g network and got the new market. Till then i was stuck! so get the new market!!

Even after using the fix market links option in titanium backup (which finds none missing) the market application still doesn't recognize over 100 Apps on my device. Any recommendations?

Thank you for the response. Attempted to do this, however clear data and clear cache are both grayed out. Apparently this isn't even an option with the market app.
Any other ideas?

I had this problem earlier. When I rebooted the phone they weren't grayed out anymore. After clearing the data and cache my apps showed up
i have this problem too. i will give the above a try and give feedback.
Well, I don't know why, but the only thing that I found that fixes this aside from a reflash is to use the mybackup pro application's fix market links, reboot twice, and all fixed. So, if anybody else has this problem, give this a shot and tell me if it worked for you too. Kinda pissed that titanium backup couldn't fix it but mybackup pro could. I paid for TiBu
For the last few days, I have been getting a notification about "new information" or some such. I hit it and it opens the browser and takes me to a spam site, saying I have won an air mac, iphone 4 or ipad 2 which is of course bull****.
I've got lookout (premium) on my phone, but it says no malware on the phone.
So if I could just figure out what program is posting the notice..I would have my culprit.
Rebooting phone doesn't help. Clearing cache, history, form data in browser doesn't help.
Tonight I cleared /cache and davlik-cache. Will have to wait to see if that helps.
The website the browser goes to is com-ws.us/test/.....

Airpush should let you know what app is set to push notifications.
What is the actual notification you are getting and what icon does it have next to it in the status bar when u see it?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
If you have adaway then add "api.airpush.com" (without the quotes) to the list of sites to block and then redownload the hosts file. That will take care of airpush spam without having to download anything (who knows what data the airpush "opt out" app tries to collect).

Either a green plus sign in the notification bar or a red star with a red circle in it. The notification text is "You win! an iPad2 is yours!" Or similar.
Airpush detector showed no apps.
When you select the notification' it opens the browser and takes you to a ws-com.us website.

I have never used an app to freeze.other apps. If there is an app I don't want, like bloatware or stuff like Facebook, twitter, HTC mail etc., I just use root explorer. Navigate to system/apps and then rename the apk's extension to apkbak. Makes the system not recognize it as an app and therefore never runs, and if I need it again, just remove the bak and its good to go. Has worked for me on every Rom I have had since the OG droid

Hey I was wondering if anyone else has had apps install by themself, over the past few days a couple of apps have somehow showed up on my home screen. They don't show up under the app drawer or under apps in settings. Also ever since these started coming thru I keep getting notifications for other stuff like "lose belly fat" and "job offers starting at $325 and hour". I'm currently running aokp m6 if it helps. I've done a full wipe and it stopped for a day and then came back. I'll post some screen shots of the apps.
P.s. the ones installing automatically are the last three above the PayPal widget.

I too had some Apps install on their own. But they were apps I had before I attempted a NANDROID Restore, which for some odd reason failed and killed my Boot. So I was forced to re-flash my stock boot/ROM on my S3 (AT&T Flavor) and repeat the Rooting process. But once I started looking through my app drawer, some of these apps were being re-installed. Odd, perhaps some internal back-up that I'm not aware of on ICS.
Yea these are random apps that aren't even from the play store. When I click on them they open the browser and take me to a page to sign up for a subscription.

Have you installed recently any pirate app? An app not bought or downloaded from Android market?
I saw some apps that installs a patch that brings/installs apps and shortcuts on your cellphone. Tô solve this Just delete the program or patch and use an antivirus Just in case...
Good luck

I'm having this issue but its legit apps keep "updating" themselves baxk after I uninstall them
ie: bbm, flashify, (more I can't think off atm)
Some of the apps has Adware build in it, which means if you download the App, it will spam your Home screen full.
You can fix this problem by manually delete it everytime, to fix it permantly you need to delete the app.

Today I went as far as deleting history of them being installed in the app store... Waiting to see if they are back tomorrow
Update: still happening. Resorting to auto update off and still having to stop installs... Something to do with rebooting, or its triggering it
I been trying to search for this problem everywhere but can't come up with a solution for my skyrocket. When trying to install out of market apks I can't click on "install" when in the android installer screen. I can click on cancel but nothing happens when I press on install. Installing apps through google play works fine. When I searched for this problem on google/XDA the common problem seemed to be a third party dimmer app which I don't have. I have very little third party apps. Most are the basic google apps. I'm running CM10 12/28 nightly with apex launcher on AT&T.
I tried rebooting the phone multiple times. I tried stopping multiple running programs. I even disabled jelly bean's dimmer function, but no results.
Here is a list of all my downloaded apps.

AdAway
Adobe AIR/Reader
Angry Birds
Animated weather

So the android package installer still doesn't work but for some reason the ES file explorer's own installer does. I was finally able to load the apk. ES is so much better than the CM10 file explorer. I'm glad I downloaded it. It's still annoying having to use ES every time I want to download a non-market apk but I guess it will do for now. Also it always goes to android package installer when trying to update non market apps which is pretty annoying. Any ideas as to why the android package installer still isn't working?

Honestly, sounds to me like maybe you have another app that's set as default for APKs. I would go through Settings>Apps>All and try to identify an app that looks like it may be responsible for handling APK files and clear the defaults on it. Maybe a virus scanner?

Don't get hung up on the virus scanner part of the previous post. Go to Settings > Apps > All and click on Package Installer. See if there's any data, cache, or defaults you could clear for it. Then you could always try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery along with the fixing of permissions as suggested.

Yep, rooted running recent CM10 nightlies.
there is an app that is preventing the installer from running, by looking at your list of installed apps start turning off juice defender, battery mix or any other bat app, if not those ones then its an app thats running, so you need to do it one by one and see which app is preventing the installer from running,
I believe this has something to do with apps that use a screen overlay. For me, it was screen filter that would block the button. As soon as I disabled, it was good.

Battery Mix was the culprit good call vincom. I'm surprised though never had this problem before I rooted, must have something to do with Jelly Bean. It's too bad I really like Battery Mix too. I don't understand why this happens.
