An hour ago, I got a "harmful app" notification to uninstall "iFont(Expert of Fonts)" which I had loaded as an Xposed module.
The app has disappeared from Google Play. It was previously at this URL:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kapp.ifont&hl=en
I do like the Armani font that it provides.
I have deactivated the Xposed toggle for iFont, set Xprivacy to block everything for it, rebooted, then froze it with Greenify.
Is there any information on why it was removed, and if it might get off the blacklist?
After no news on this for 24hrs, so I deleted it. The font that I like stayed, but I wonder if it left anything else.
Examining the preferred font on my desktop, what iFont called "Armani" is actually "Bauhaus ITC Regular" and appears to be under copyright. Perhaps Google removed the app at the request of a holder of copyright on one of the fonts, rather than an abuse of security (or perhaps both).
I've been trying to find out the actual name for the Armani font used in the iFont app for years now, and tried looking it up under Bauhaus ITC Regular but it seems to me they're two completely different fonts. Any update on this or does anyone else have a better suggestion?..

This is not a morph! Install as you would any non-Market .apk, with Astro, etc.

So, I love using BarControl for putting apps on the Notification Bar, but found the icons available in the app old and tired looking, especially on an N1.
I used the auto-sign program for Market .apk s from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666441 to rework the app with some 2.1 icons, icons from some of the other apps a lot of us use, as well as Facetwat and some of the other social networking apps you kids are so fond of now adays.
The number of icons I could include was limited to the number of icons available in the stock Market app. The new icons just had to have the same name as the old ones.
Again, this is not a morph nor flash from recovery. Just install the apk with your favorite file manager. Uninstall any previous version of BarControl you have installed. This should work on any Android phone.
Anyway, let me know if it works and what you think. Thanks to St0kes for creating the auto-sign program.
TO MODS: This is a free app in the Market, so I assume I'm not doing anything wrong. If I am, please delete and my apologies.
I use bar control so thanks for the changes.
Holy ****. Thank you for doing this. I've used bar control since it came out, and the dev doesn't seem to be anywhere around. I've dealt with the icons because i love this functionality. this should be built into the OS. Thanks alot!

We're on the same page. You're welcome. When I saw the apk re-signing program this was the first app I thought of to attempt some editing.
Someone pointed out to me that I left off the SMS icon, as well as Calendar and a few more. That plus now that it looks like at least 500 of us are rocking the new Dropbox app, with more to come, forced me to do another version. . Most of it is the same, but I removed almost all the old BarControl Icons and added in SMS, Calendar, Corp Cal, CorpGAL, Google Googles, NavLauncher, and a couple more small edits.
Either version will work just as well. Just pick the one you need.
I dislike the name Play Shop and want to have Market and the Market icon back on my Homescreen. I have uninstalled Play Shop, but when I go to the Market, before long Market has updated itself to the new name and icon.
Is it possible to somehow change the name of Play Shop to Market and change the icon? Alternatively is it possible to stop Market updating itself?
My phone is a rooted Galaxy Ace.
TIA.
Decompile it, go to string.XML, change the name. It will be at first few lines normally.

Using tb you can freeze the market updater. Change the icon by extracting the apk on your computer and swap the images over. You could even use your launcher to change the icon.
Thanks for the tip, I also don't like the icon (For now I removed from the first screen )
I don't see what the big deal is, but if you're really that desperate to return to the past, here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543427
icon/name vs performance,and you choose icon/name,wow

rashid. fairus I didn't perceive any improvement in performance; it probably exists only in your perception. Even if I had that wouldn't make any difference. When you are my age you might not be keen on change either lol.
Thanks to everyone else.
I had it configured in 'multicon' app and after the update it stayed with same icon (no names are shown with this app)
I recently tried the CM Launcher, but uninstalled it again after a few hours.
Now, though, even after rebooting the phone a few times, I still get ads for its wallpapers on my lockscreen (something like once a day): i.imgur.com/j65PlPH.jpg (too new, cannot post URLs yet...)
I looked through the installed apps, as well as the running processes, but I cannot find anything that seems to point to the CM Laucher:
i.imgur.com/CCwkccR.gif
i.imgur.com/jdctXGy.gif
Update: Problem solved. The ad was not generated by the CM Launcher itself, but by one of the themes that I had used with it.
Once I uninstalled that theme, the ads went away.
Also, a quick FIY for others who might be fighting with lockscreen ads: You can find out who created the ad by long-pressing it (at least in MM). The banner will change to the app that generated it, and from there on it's child's play to remove the culprit...
I need help from some serious power users/hackers to find out how my girlfriend is hiding apps on her (unrooted) GS6. I'm a medium-advanced Android user, but this is some good stuff. I know that it may have to do with the notification shade, as she constantly checks it to see if there is anything new, but she has somehow (not through normal OS) disabled chimes and icons in notification bar. I believe that she may have "vaulted" apps, but can't find anything conspicuous in the app manager (even when displaying system files). I believe she can basically hide or "ghost" any app so that it doesn't appear in recent app list, app drawer, or app manager. Is anyone aware of such apps?
One thing I noticed that seems a bit different is in her notification access menu (settings/lock screen and security/other security settings/notification access) there is an entry called "Notification" that I don't normally see.
I'm wondering if maybe it's a dual-boot setup where she can choose which apps to hide from the normal boot via a rooted "clone" boot of the OS? Or maybe an easy way/shortcut to root, then hide apps, then unroot?
Any other ideas?
Oh, also: No custom launcher in use from what I can tell; stock Touch-Wiz only.

Not really sure this is something you should be helping you with, spying on someone isn't the sort of thing we condone at xda

It seems that I can only theme system apps. WhatsApp, Google home, Google translate... Etc. stay as they are even though the theme is installed and active.
10.5.7.IN21BA
Magisk 20.4
No major issues with Swift Installer, here. But thing is, a certain app can't be themed until an update provides a proper overlay for it.
I'd stay away from substratum, however. One wrong move, such as an incompatible overlay, could be problematic. I've found that out the hard way.

Even when they're updated, user apps don't change for me. System apps like Google Chrome change theme just fine but user apps like Google translate don't.
