Two apps recently popped up on my phone and I'm not quite sure from where.
One of them is called App Center and the other is called Game Center, they both have a similar UI
Does anyone know which application could have created these apps?

"Two apps recently popped up on my phone and I'm not quite sure from where."
Think the easy way to tell is get Lookout Labs ad network detector (playstore).
Scan your phone, it'll tell you which apps have 'permission' to change those types of settings, found an app recently on mine that was installing a search icon on my screen and air-pushing ads. Thing was the app wasn't doing this last week, it suddenly did after an update. Sneaky *******s....
'

I haven't installed any apps that are malicious. plus I'm well aware of the Air push ads.
What's weird is that the apps don't follow normal spam apps procedures which makes me think a legit app just added them, for instance when I pick an app to install it doesn't take me to a Web browser it takes me directly to the play store.
I'm thinking it's something that Go Dev added to one of there apps

Carrier update?

not sure if it's a carrier update... i haven't got any updates for an OTA
but did some investigating and I think that is an app add in for Go Launcher... i exited go Launcher and choose my stock touchwiz launcher and those apps were not in the app drawer

I doubt it, but you should ask the GO devs about it.
Does not look like their app.
They usually name their apps GO _______

The Game center app icon is from the iPhone, which I know that Go devs wouldn't use, their good with their own icons. Might want to re-check. Are you unable to uninstall them?

Long press in the app drawer brings up the red x on them to uninstall when I press it I get the message... application cannot be found or is not installed, remove from App drawer?

Yup, I can confirm that.
I have them too after updating Go Launcher Ex

I think the devs should have mentioned this instead of having people guessing
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It is GO Launcher EX
The answer is they are extra apps that come with GOLauncher EX...they just added them in a recent update.
Does that help?

I just wish that somewhere in there change log they would have mentioned something about adding the application's to Go Launcher instead of leaving us in the dark.

i hate to state the obvious but there are much better launchers than go, which long ago, along with go sms, became an overbloated, resource hogging, malware loaded, piece of junk

Did you change your system dpi? Go take a look at this thread. That's probably your problem.
id0, very nice. I like it. Gonna try it out for a bit and run it through the paces, but so far it's a nice and easy concept. :laugh::good:

Very nice! Such a simple idea and so useful.. thanks
Just messing around and starting to make it match my theme -

Interesting. I'll give it a try
Thanks!

Tablet functionality
Has anyone tried this with a Tablet such as the Samsung or Asus ?
Please advises

Very nice so far on my Note 2, gotta love the portal for finding new awesome apps
noted for future reference on my Note 2

I'm now using this app as my default quick launcher. Because of this, I was able to remove all of the icons on my homescreen. Now my screen looks so spacious!
Now my Note 2's screen seems even bigger

Not bad at all. Now to decide between a swipe controlled or a button-controlled interface. I sort of like Ubuntu's "chromeless" idea. Swipe from left to get apps, from right to step through running/cashed apps. There is an, unfortunately problematically implemented launcher overlay for the swipe from right idea.
Looking forward to new features in this:
1. Allow dragging apps from app-drawer to make them favorites.
2. Swipe-alternatives to button interface.
Taskarou, another one of these launcher overlays, gives on it own full app-drawer and icons for running apps.

realy nice
but one thing:
nova launcher is set to open appdrawer on homebutton
i like to open HomeFlip with 2 times homebutton
when i activate this the normal press on homebutton for nova launcher does not work anymore
the option 1 press HomeFlip, 2 press launcher does not work right

So it said there was a bullet nd holo theme?

Thanx for your work:good:. I'd like to know the improvements it offers over an app like swipepad.

Great app!
Looking forward to seeing what it can turn into.

Yes there is, however, root is a prerequisite.
xposed GEL settings
it still lacks options though, but it is so far the only way to make it usable
runs way better than Apex Pro

For me TW is more than enough though i still fond of nova launcher as a second launcher only it's many customization options and it did import TW home screens pretty well..

I'm waiting for the S5 launcher. Would be good have that GEL and TouchWiz experience all in one (Accuweather + Ok Google). I'm sure come April we'll be seeing something.

There is a problem parsing the package?

Try moving the package to sdcard and then install. Works for me sometimes.

May I ask if this download is trustful ?
I installed it, and now I just noticed I have some weird apps installed, all of them show up as "built in" (i.e. Android won't let me uninstall them).
Some of them call themselves games by Gameloft, like "Iron Man 3", but they seem to be knock offs. Worse of all, these so-called games have too many permissions.
Off course, they could have come from somewhere else, but I don't usually install apks, so I don't have any other suspects.
Even if this is not this launcher's fault, does someone know how can I get rid of these things, short of a full reset?
Edit: coincidentally my phone updated to 4.4... I just read that sometimes carriers injects apps in such updates, so this was probably the case here.

[Tutorial][8.0+] How to Install Good Lock 2018

Hi
If you're a XDA's regular visitor, you have already known that Samsung released GOOD LOCK app again and this time for OREO only. If not, head over to the XDA feature portal here:
Samsung is bringing back Good Lock, the UI customization app
​https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-bringing-back-good-lock/As it is stated in post this release is region specific only. Luckily I've figured out a way by which every Oreo Samsung user can install and use this to modify some system UI tweaks. So let's start.
Download the .zip file from here, extract it and install all apps one by one. Some apps(edge lightning etc) show icons on launcher. Open them and go through them you'll learn how to use them to tweaks SystemUI.
For apps that don't show icons, Download and install Activity Manager app from Play Store.
Now Launch it and search for the apps you installed along with good lock like quickstar, lockstar task changer etc
Upon finding app, just lauch 1st activity and you'll be brought right to that app's setting page.
Modify it as you like and you're done.

Oh wow! This was worth it for the task changer and quick star alone! Makes the phone feel like a new phone. I wish they had added options to change the navbar as well.
Thanks for a great contribution.

Thanks for the files works great!

Hey guys, does somebody know why my clock disappears on lockscreen whenever I use Lockstar? I'm on RenovateICE and every apk is working fine except Lockstar that for some reasons doesn't want to make the clock appear. I tried to check on the RICE settings if there was anything to hide etc but everything is disabled/stock. Any advice?

You can select app by pressing the + button in preview screen

I tried every single possible thing so far that I could come up with, but I got no results. It's a bit sad though, the apk is so great that it would be a shame to lose it!

Because there is no plus symbol

Cool

I was able to install Good Lock through The Galaxy App store. The apps work as they should, no issues.

Thanks !

I can confirm it's the dpi. Reverting it back to 360 makes Lockstar work again.
Sad, won't keep my phone at a crap dpi just for a lockscreen!

It seems we need One UI 3.1 for it to work which we should be getting soon. I am getting new update now.

Well I updated the OS and it still doesn't work. This whole One UI experience/update has been miserable and has just ruined everything I loved about my fold 2

You need to go to Galaxy Store and update Home UI.

Thanks. I've already loaded all the updates and restarted the phone (a couple of times) as well as uninstalling/reinstalling good lock and home up.... Still doesn't work... Still same error message

Do you have home up version 2.0.01.11?
The phone firmware should be on DUB5.

Yes Home up 2.0.01.11. Actually DUB6 (didn't work with 5 and upgraded yesterday). I'm in the US if th at matters

As long as you are using the One UI Launcher. If you are using Nova or others like I do it does not.

Sounds logical. The Samsung launcher is pretty good now. I haven't used Nova for a couple of years.
