There is this app on my phone that I did not install. It's called "Daily App" and when I open it it wants me to download an "app of the day." How do I remove this? I can't find it in applications and I did not install it...

Did you try going to "All" instead of just "Installed" in your "Manage Apps" screen? If it's carrier bloatware, that's where you'd be able to find it and *hopefully* disable it.
Try to remove it in settings, apps. If it's bloat you may not be able to. If you're rooted get titanium backup and use it to freeze or remove the app.

Found out it was loaded thanks to Zynga Hanging Free.

And the App Screen:
Hopefully, if anyone is looking around the web for "Daily App - A free app every day" this thread will help.
I figured out what it was by seeing a new folder in my Gallery called "freedaily". Inside that folder is the screenshot of today's free app along with some other Zynga related images.
My frustration with this is that it wasn't registered in any of the suggested places as a "real" app. So I couldn't uninstall or disable it (like I have my other VZW bloatware.)
I don't understand how Zynga was allowed to put this on my phone. I know, I know, I approve the access rights of my apps, but seriously...an app begin allowed to install another pho-app. That's shady at best.
Thanks for the input everyone, hopefully this helps others out!

Thank you for posting this, it was nice to be able to know what it was as my phone has it too. Quick question, were you able to get rid of it and if so how? I deleted the folder in gallery but It's still there. I was going to uninstall all zynga games and see if that worked. Any extra advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi guys,
I've managed to install many applications on my Nexus S, however I just can't install Beautiful Widgets on it at all. Does anyone know if this screenshot attached can help - or can anyone point me in the right direction?

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've emailed the developers, and they say that Beautiful Widgets is indeed compatible with the Nexus S, and they develop on the Nexus S all the time.
So I don't know if it is my Google Apps account or something else that is making this difficult?!
Thanks guys
Did you try buying it from the Market app on your phone rather than the website?
As a last resort, you can download the app market enabler and spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets
It definitely works on the NS but I wish I hadn't bothered as it seems really pixaly.

I've had no problems with it on mine. I use the Beautiful Home Smaller Weather widget on both my home screen and lock screen. It's pretty terrific. You might have issues with the location function, but if you do, you just have to clear the caches in any apps that use location (when I first got it, it was setting to my old apartment. I had to wipe data in BW and Maps, and it's been fine).
The OP isn't asking if the widget works on the NS or not. The problem the OP is having is buying the app from the website, unsure if he can buy it within the market app.
Thanks for the advice.
I can't actually find the Beautiful Widgets app in the Market app on my phone.
Even if I go to the developer's website and scan the QR code, the Market app tells me that there are no search results.
Perhaps then it is a location (South Africa) problem, and I will need to spoof it as T-Mobile USA and buy Beautiful Widgets.
I've just never rooted my phone, and if this is the case, I will need to do some more reading up on how to backup, root, recover, etc before I go any further!
Thanks for the help!
P.S. Going to try purchase it with AndroidPit website ... will revert!
Hi Guys,
It was definitely a location type problem between my phone and Google, or else a problem with Google Checkout and my credit card?
Perhaps I can't purchase any app through the Google Marketplace? I'll have to check that out further.
At any rate, I purchased the BW app through AndroidPIT and BW works perfectly!

Are you on 2.3.3 GRI54? Previously I flashed the Axura ROM and I can see almost all apps but not Fifa 10, when I go to market.android.com, it says the same thing, the app is not compatible with my phone. The developer fixed it by using back the signature GRI40 for the ROM.

It is one of the apps that you have installed!! Last time it happened to me when I installed Gun Bros!!
you gotta find yours!! Try the app which you installed the day when you started having this issue....then if you have an option for stopping them through the app then do that or you can uninstall the app....
Peace!

Many apps used airpush ads that simulates system notification to push ads more agresively.
You can install airpush remover app (free) from Google Play - it scans and detects the apps with airpush ads and gives to you option to uninstall the app in one tap.
And the goog news: Starting 1 Aug 2012 Google changed the policy of Developer agreement and prohibited the use of this kind of ads.
So, after 1 month all apps with airpush ads will be removed from the Google Play.
Thanks.
That helped me out.

Next time, Read the app description before you download anything.
Anyways, Google said in the next few months, They are gonna ban any app that does notification ads, Pretty good news 'round the corner, eh?

OP and others interested in this. I have...heard of... an app that may or may not be called Blackmart that does exactly what you are describing. Since I would never use it I can't provide you with the apk, but I'm sure resourceful people would be able to find it somewhere.
Strong smell of breaking some rules. Besides, how are you going to update apps? You are not talking about dozens of apps but market is thousands of apps!

[edit]
FIND ACCOUNTS ON THE DEVICE
Allows the app to get the list of accounts known by the device. This may include any accounts created by applications you have installed.
READ SENSITIVE LOG DATA
Allows the app to read from the system's various log files. This allows it to discover general information about what you are doing with the device, potentially including personal or private information.
ACCESS EMAIL PROVIDER DATA
Allows this application to access your email database, including received messages, sent messages, usernames, and passwords.
READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY
Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. This permission allows the app to determine the phone number and device IDs, whether a call is active, and the remote number connected by a call.

Hi, we have removed the similar assets in our launcher in today's update.
Thank you for your information. The menu is a common menu. You can see Apex and Holo.

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.

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)
