Ads - Red Star or Yellow Star with Red Dot - Asus Transformer TF700

I have begun receiving ads on the side bar (red star) with notice on the bottom bar (yellow star with red dot).
While I assume I have installed something with an add component I've been unable to identify which app they are tied to so that I can uninstall.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,
I had the same problem on another android device. I used to receive many notifications, maybe 10 in the same day. I never took the time to read what was written, but I did a few days ago, and I noticed the app that was causing the ad notification was written like this "****(ad by nameoftheapp) ". Mine was "Musician's recorder", a bad app I forgot to uninstall.
Luckily, uninstalling the app stopped the ads. :good:
The notification I received were the same as you, sometimes the red star, sometimes a green "+".
Good luck!

Download "Lookout Ad Network Detector" AND "Airpush detector" from the market, both of these apps should show you what app in your device is generating ads. If it a legit app (the one you intended to use) then keep other wise uninstall the rest.

#2 what is the name of the file of the pop-up that comes up at the bottom of the screen? The one that alerts when Su has been granted, apps loaded from os etc.
Any help would be.....helpful.

anyone?
10 char
The files start with "popup" iirc. There are 3 of them. One for top, bottom, and middle of the bubble. And if you didn't know already its in framework-res.apk.
Edit: actually that might be for the big popup. The smaller one is only one file I think. You will see a picture of a grey square but I'm not sure if the name starts with popup.

Its not a pop-up. Its called the toast frame and is called as such in the framework: toast_frame.9.png.
i found one called bottom_bar but its rectangle and the one im talking about is rounded.
thank you very much! i do appreciate it

[?] Black contact-book like in many themes

I'd like to have a black and blue contact book like the one I have uploaded.
How can I do that?
Anyone who know how to get a black phonebook with white text yet?
Tried to download other phonebook apps from the market, but my device is uncompatible.
I am rooted.
Once I saw a black orinverted google apps package somewhere on xda,but I could not find it again.
Anyway I'm interested too. Also in dark mail app

maybe once this device gets farther along in development and gets cm9 or cm10 then there are a few inverted gapps packages like what your asking. this kind of stuff does not happen overnight. if you would like you could try to push an inverted contacts app to /system using adb but no promises it would work as well as the stock one and i dont even know where you could find one. good luck

I can help you with the black mail-app.
Try the K9-mail tablet conversion: Kaiten mail.
Its a super app.
Should be on the Great apps for TF700 thread

where's google now?

I thought it was going to be included witht 4.1.1, but i don't see it after the update, and it's not on the market either... What am i missing here
Long press the Home button and you should see a circle with "Google" in it. Select that and Google Now opens.
I didn't even think about that... Does anyone know if it's in the gapps zips? I don't think it is, since maps wasn't in the zip I flashed.
Look in your apps list too for a blue icon with a white letter g just labelled "Google". That's Google Now.

I figured that out after I made my reply. Lol.
You can also launch it from the lock screen or the Google search bar.

I'm still trying to figure out how this all works. It seems like it works better on a phone, than my Transformer Pad, for me... The scheduling and other features are something I access on my phone, but not my pad.

No "what is new" information

Hi.
When I update an app in my TF700 (JB) through Play, "what's new" and description information are missing in the update screen. It just shows permissions. The only way to find out what's updated and to see description is to look for the app in the search bar, as if you're installing the app first time. This bug, if it is a bug, does not exist on my other devices. Any idea to resolve this? Thanx.
I just tap on the app itself to display the changes with the latest update. In Google play, my list of apps appear on the left-hand side of the screen and if I just tap on the app that's about to update it will show the permissions required. Then I tap the link to the app itself (just anywhere near the upper right hand where the name of the app is) and it will take me to the app in Google play with a list of the changes.

Same for me, I think this is by design. And it's really inconvenient. My workaround: Install "Changelog Droid".
Lol. Just Click the app icon on the right hand side and all will be revealed.

Yes, I've found out that. While installing the update if you press the icon of the app on the right upper side, it brings you the basic install information was well as what's new information. Still, without starting the install no show of change log. But thanx anyway.

megamoz, you don't have to start to install to be able to click on the icon on the upper right hand side. Just clicking anywhere on the grey area or the name of the app in the grey area on the right hand side should take you to the app with the 'What's New' up the top. This can be done anytime for your list of installed apps.

Apps pop ups

Hi everyone ,
This is my first time here so hopefully I can get some help.
Every time I turn on my tab I get app pop ups on my home screen and also automatically apps are saving to my pages, I've gone through my settings and checked to see if I have anything turned on that shouldn't be, if someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated as it's really starting to annoy me.
Cheers Headman

It's a rogue app the causes that. It contains adware and spyware by changing your homepage (monitor what you search), constantly adds search icon on homescreen and comes up with annoying ads in both the notification bar and by pop ups.
Run this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector&hl=en
And remove those apps.

Agreed, my fiance had one in her phone and it would push notifications, pop-ups, all sorts of invasive stuff. I wanna say she used an app "installer" ( like the ones found in 4shared), which was what installed the "rouge" app.
