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

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

Sorry, android only allows system apps to change location settings.
GPS can be toggled in this app due to an exploit in the AOSP power-toggle-widget.
But for example on Samsung phones, this is not possible (samsung changed the widget settings).
I would if I could. Long click GPS icon will bring you to the location settings page, wich is still faster then browsing to it with the normal settings app.

Unfortunately, it's the same story as I wrote in my previous post.
Android restricts the toggling to system only. I'm not completely sure though, so I'll do some googling again.
Thanks anyway

In the new version is written, that the trial version is over. But there was never written that this is an trial version. There are only differences between the functions in the beta and the pro.
Wanted to test the app and than buy the pro, but not like this.

I got a suggestion, tell me if you like it (this will gold for all people):
-User will get a 4 day trial of all functions
-After 4 days, you won't be able to use Configure anymore, and the data already configured will be reset
-When you install the PRO version , everything will come back.
Deal or no deal?
Tell me if you have a suggestion too.

Desire HD with Sense 4.1
I have to tap on the quick settings shortcut on the home screen, otherwise the normal Sense notifications come.
Also, I have to press the back button to go back, swiping up doesnt work.
Didn't want to give a bad rating on Play Store so I posted here.
Thanks for the efforts though

Of course I like the app. I've written this as the first in this thread. But I don't like to pay to fast for an app. But the app is great and that is the reason i post this here and not in play store. Only sliding is missing. That's the thing i wait for.
Is it possible that i get a testers licence?

Sure it does. It's not a statusbar replacement, it just has a UI like it.
About swiping it up: I'm working on this, but bugfixes are more important in my opinion.
You can press the statusbar close shade anyway to close it, it'll do the same as the back button.
Thanks for not giving a bad rating!
Remeber, I'm always working on it. You may not feel it, but there are lot's of changes every update.

Samsung's New Notification/Lockscreen App

Hey all.. I don't think I've seen a post about this so I thought I'd be the first to give you all a heads-up on Samsung's new lock app called Good Lock. It's a fairly new app and I'm sure they'll make improvements. It pretty much changes your lockscreen, notifications tray, and recent tabs. Let me know what you think of the app.
**Apparently some rooted users are having various problems (constant reboot and randomly uninstalls itself), so keep that in mind...
You can download this in the Galaxy App store
Here are some screenshots

Saw this earlier today, haven't downloaded yet. Are your icons a previous theme or are they from this new Good Lock app?

The white outlined icons are from the theme store
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I downloaded this today, and so far I like it! I wasn't sure at first, but the more that I use it, the more I enjoy it.
I like the new notifications menu. Looks a lot like stock Android. Wish u could use a custom lockscreen wallpaper, but besides that, it's pretty cool! I'm surprised that Samsung created something like this.
To answer your question, I'm pretty sure that those icons are from a previous theme. I haven't found any icon customization with this app

I tried the app, but it uninstalled itself after a bit playing around with it. It looked better than the stock lock screen and notification area (although I don't like the colours) and I'd like to keep the app. Is there a way to prevent that the app is automatically uninstalled?

In Nova Launcher pulling notification bar down is not flawless if you use gesture...

Just a warning that it doesn't work with rooted devices. I made the mistake of installing it on my rooted S7 and it caused constant reboots.

I've also uninstalled in for ithe time being because it didn't work with my Samsung led case. it kept asking for location. I've never had the uninstall problem or reboot problem. you can change the lockscreen by going to Samsung settings. I really hope they polish the app a bit more.
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

So far, I'm liking Good Lock. just a couple weird things. Looks like you no longer can customize the quicksettings tiles, and the recent apps switcher is much better, but if you use the button to bring it up and dismiss it (also using the button) then it goes to the Home App instead of the app I was in.

Are you rooted? If not, that explains why the reboot issue would never have happen for you.

Downloading now.

I tried it and uninstalled within minutes. The recent apps is horrible - separate chrome tabs are now nameless icons making it useless to find the tab you wanted, and I like having a preview of the open apps. Also, as mentioned, the MM notification draw pulldown bug in Nova is present, which drives me insane. And no lockscreen wallpaper choices, no thanks. The only reason I'd want to use it is the more stock android look, and that you can finally double tap a notification on the lockscreen to open it, which should be a thing on the current lockscreen anyway.

You select your wallpaper just as before from your phone settings/display and wallpaper.

Use the whitelist app posted in this forum. It's on Google Play.
I have no idea what the Essential app did other than whitelist Nova.

It didn't seem to do anything for me. I turned off whitelisting from the app and Nova reverted to old behavior. Maybe it's just whitelisting and if you already had that setup it doesn't do anything else.

Can you try removing the notification bar in Settings - Look & feel and see if Nova still fills up the screen? When I remove the notification bar Nova won't fill up the screen.
Thanks.

I removed the notification bar and opened several items. The notification bar would appear and then disappear. In took a screenshot of the camera showing no notification bar.
I see in the upper-right corner the noise level, WiFi, network, and clock. No notifications though.

Yeah, interesting indeed. I hope this will be fixed in a future update.

I already had the whitelist editor installed and Nova was selected. Even after the update, when I deselect nova on the whitelist editor, it's no longer full scene. Not sure if the whitelist editor overrides the company's update... either way I rather use the whitelist editor than wait on Essential to update their whitelist. Lol

Seeing the same thing on mine. Luckily the whitelist editor works so well it's not really an issue.

[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.

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?
