Why theres a Panda on my Desktop? ^_^ - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I dont know why, but for some reason when I swipe between screens on my desktop, it appears a Panda on the bottom left corner as shown in the screenshot (also the ears on the top left corner). It is actually the Triple Town Icon, but if I remove the app from the desktop, it keeps showing up.
It also appears a white "shinning", but once I restart the device, it all disappears and goes back to normal. Is not annoying at all, just curious. Any idea why this could happen?

What launcher are you running?
Are you using any apps that could be from less-than-legitimate sources or developers?

He didn't do anything wrong. Let him chill.

Obviously your are running a theme, as evident by the white shiny background to your launcher shots. I notice an aftermarket app drawer button.
Go back to stock everything and I bet it's gone.

Stock launcher. All apps should be legit, maybe Nexus 4 camera app is provoking it... :/

The shiny background is part of the "bug" and I manually changed the app drawer button within "framework-res.apk" :good:
Now the panda is gone, its strange. As I said, its not annoying at all, just "funny stuff".

As AlexDeGruven said non legitimate apps do tend install junk to, same as a PC.
I'm sure since your rooted, it installed it with out you knowing. (when you installed the panda app)

That's a sneaky panda you got there. What I usually do is spread out some bamboos on my home screen and wait for him to come out. Then I catch him with my finger and throw him in the garbage can. If he comes back rinse and repeat, If you run out of bamboos your screwed.

idea for an app

Im pretty sure theres nothing like this out there, but i think it would be really cool if you could hide the notification bar and only have it show when you pull it down on the top of the screen. I think it would look much cleaner.
So your screen would look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
until you pulled the bar down on the top of the screen.
There is an action in launcher pro that allows that. Or something similar.

There is an ADW.Launcher setting that already allows this. There another setting to hide the dock too.
Yeah I use it in lp. Don't like having the time show in two places on one screen. It pops up everywhere else but home, real nice.

So far the only thing I don't like about it is I wish I could still swipe down and pull the bar down. Like how it looks though.

Just hit the menu key and then you can swype it down
Edit: preferences _ behavior _ home key action. Set to open/hide status bar. Works great!

Spam on my captivate

Every now and then i get a notification about a free gift card from wal mart... No its not an email notification or from any app.. If I click on it, it takes me to a web site to apply.. Is there any way I can get rid of this?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Is it a text message? You had to have given Wal-Mart your cell phone info at some point. Only way to stop it is to change your marketing preferences at Wal-Mart.com and turn off any notifications in the preferences. It has nothing to do with the phone.
Its not a text. It just randomly pops up in the notification bar. If I click
On it, it takes me to a web site to sign up.

Uhm, text notifications show up in the bar. If the text includes a link it would also be in there. You might want to read up on the workings of your phone a little more.
Take a screenshot next time.

This is what it looks like. My phone doesn't even vibrate or make a sound. I just turn on the screen and this notification is there... It comes up every day, once or twice a day.

repost pic, can't read.
its probably some app you have installed. try to find it an uninstall.
^^
Looks like an Airpush ad (or similar) - they go to the notification bar.

Ya seems like airpush, use this app to figure out which one it is https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector&feature=search_result
Idk why the screen shot comes out like that. I just repost it twice now and it looks the same. And I'll give airpush a try. Thanks
Edit: you were right. It was an app I had that lets see south park. It solved the issue. Thanks guys
I used the manual opt out to permanently remove airpush.
Apparently you can still keep the app. I'll test it out... so far so good.

"Simplicity" Mockup Browser

I havn't found a browser that I like 100%. I like Dolphin but I want something a little more clean/simple. Thats why, yesterday, I thought of making my own in photoshop (for now).
Let me know what you think.

So, that would be the main page. The three dots next to the Google logo would be a drop down menu for switching search engines and including others like Wikipedia, Wolfram-Alpha, Yahoo, ect. The icons at the bottom are from left to right: Home, Tabs (like when you do a home screen view on Sense/Launcher Pro/ADW/Go Launcher), Back/Front (Can be used on websites or tabs), Bookmarsk, Options.
The whole thing would also go into full screen mode and the top and bottom navigation bars would be brought up using the menu button (optional).
Again, very simple. At the bottom you have your main operations. Sort by (most viewed, alphabetical, ect.), Edit bookmark names/urls, and batch delete.
This is options menu. Options are seperated into three categories, Display, User and Misc.
I just realized that I forgot the enable/disable toggles (duh).
Anyway, this is pretty much my dream browser more or less. Im still working on some other things in photoshop.
Let me know what you guys think.
By the way, I got most of the icons from here...
http://yankoa.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Phone-7-Icons-166077852
I guess I would have to make my own if I actually developed this.
It's nice but i hate apps that doesn't use the native style of Android...why does everyone think that he needs to create an own UI?
Looks clean. I'd give it a try.

Not sure what you mean by that. If I used the native style of Android wouldn't it be just like the stock browser? Therefore, it would be pointless in me making one?
Im by no means a professional UI designer so im probably misunderstanding what you are saying.
I do agree with you about apps that Android doesn't already have stock though.
Hmmm.. It has WP7 icon style

Lol, yah. Im in love with how the Metro UI looks. Pretty much why im so excited about ICS.

[Q] Apps have dedicated "options" bar at bottom of screen?

So the X has back, home, and recents capacitive buttons but not the "options" button.
Most apps create an options bar at the bottom of the screen. Is this something that can be disabled?

From the looks of it, some apps haven't updated to the new holo design scheme. Some apps need to make use of the action bar a little better. Look at gmail and google maps for reference. If you don't like it there's a possibility to remap the menu key to long pressing the home key (it's been done on the international one x).
I personally hate it! It takes up too much real estate
We need to get a ROM ASAP that remaps the menu button to long-press multitasking or something and then get rid of the onscreen button!
Now if only we could get a bootloader unlock/root...

Here's Google reader with a menu button on the upper right where it should be, and another one on the bottom of the screen.
Ignore the apple folder!
Yea, I noticed the double options as well.
It just doesn't make sense.

App developers just haven't taken the time to optimize the apps yet, just a month ago ICS was a huge minority, and it still is, but with more and more phones being released with ics, we'll see optimized apps, and the weird soft key will go away.
The long press home idea is great, btw.

Apps wont go in fullscreen

hi there,
suddenly my apps wont go in full screen mode. i did install xposed lately, so its maybe related. but before unlocking bootloader (effectively wiping) this happened too. so in my opinion its not related to xposed (gravitybox installed).
any ideas how to fix this? sometimes its like on screenshots, sometimes only dots instead icons. black frame is still present.

These dots indicate the navigation buttons.. If you don't want these, you can install modules like "force immersive mode" in xposed framework...

few days ago that app was in full screen.
also about angrybirds go. do you think developers let there that navigation bar on side, so when i want to turn right i actually quit the app?
i already told you, those apps where in full screen since i bought my phone. suddenly few days ago those apps wont go to full screen. something happened to system.
