Hi, i found out something in Android (Oreo now) that disturbs me a bit : it's basically an history of which app you opened and when. Even uninstalled apps appears. I stumbled upon this while trying to add some desktop shortcut with "Nova Launcher Activities", it appeared under "Settings". I'm sure there are other log like this though. I wasn't able to find more about it using Google. DO NOT DELETE this post : i think i already posted but it appears nowhere. Hopefully some people have knowledge about this.
Thread are going down quickly here!

Hi all,
I'm not yet allowed to post in the dev forum so my question goes here. I went with the mentioned ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080009 at version 0.2.4 and it is great, overall. But since I updated to 0.2.5 I have one issue: The system (really the whole system not only one app) cannot display special characters (Non-ascii?).
Example: Titanium Backup * Root. If you look at it's market entry it has a Star between the App name and "Root". I see only a empty box instead. Also, in the app itself, it has some bullets on the main screen (also small stars) that end up as boxes here. Web pages with such characters also don't show properly. I. e. a typical google code issue list has little triangles pointing up or down to indicate sorting: boxes here ... There are some place in the Android system setting screen where those boxes show up and probably more places I just cant remember right now. I posted about this in the issue tracker http://code.google.com/p/open-soju/issues/detail?id=7
Initially, I installed 0.2.5 right over 0.2.4 and I don't remeber seeing those boxes. But then I read in the announcement that a wipe is suggested and I did the wipe and reinstalled 0.2.5 and now I have this
Anybody else seeing this?
Any ideas about a fix?
thanks

Great, thank you!
It's posted in the 4G forum, no wonder I didn't find it. If someone could put this also in the non-4G forum OpenSoju thread ... I'm still not allowed
I'm running chromi-x. My chrome browser's address bar search feature is somewhat hijacked...
<search term> goes to google/yahoo/bing (as set in settings) but it searches for: http://www.search-goal.com/?q=<search term>&affID=<somenumber>&babsrc=amob_ait
Has anyone seen an android browser hijack? Any idea how to fix? AVG A/V hasn't had any luck....
EDIT/PS: This is not happening in the default android browser.
Oops. Didn't read properly. Sorry. Forgot you said it searches the correct engine.
Edit: after a few Google searches, I can't find anything about search-goal.com, and the site has no information about itself either. My best guess is an app you installed is doing it. Uninstall anything you may have installed in the last week or so, and see if the problem goes away.
My suggestion would be to uninstall reinstall if that doesn't work, reflash the rom. I just went to search-goal.com on my pc and it looks dangerious. Im wasn't aware the homepage could be changed without user input, if you've installed any root access apps (essentially any apk files) id uninstall them.
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried uninstalling chrome. Got it uninstalled but had a heck of a time re-installing. It would NOT wipe /data/data/com.android.chrome. I finally removed that with TWRP. After reinstalling chrome it's still doing it. I've done an "install over" rom install (install, no data wipe) and it's still doing it. As much as I've tried to avoid it I think I'm going to have to wipe/reload/reinstall apps one by one. My last shot is I'm trying to find where the search engines are set up if it's a file somewhere to see if I can edit it.
Definitely malicious given the one time I tried to open it on a PC that I knew I could clean if I needed to it came up looking like a google clone.
Thankfully it's not actually loading that site so it's not doing anything but being annoying when I try to search.
same in my case -> solution
I had the same issue at my tf101 (at Team EOS rom) - and I was able to find the reason: in my case A.I. type keyboard app and the so called customized web search capabilities. When you remove this "feature" chrome search is back to normal.
Happy camper!

Many thanks be to timbetu! I shut off all my extra keyboards I was trying out. (FloatNSplit, GO, Hacker's, & Perfect Keyboard Free). That left the Android, ASUS, and Google voice typing turned on. Sure enough it went away! I was actively using FloatNSplit at the time. Will do some experimenting to find out if it was that one or another.
You have saved me from having to resetup my tablet!
:highfive:
EDIT: Also, dude, that's pretty awesome that your 1st post to XDA gets a thanks! Welcome to the forums!

I'm using floatnspin keyboard and that seems to be my issue. There is a setting for web searches and once I turned that off my browser worked normally again. I guess thats a new "feature".
Had the same problem, uninstalling the app fixed it. Please flag this app in Google play so Google can know about this! If you ask me, changing the default search engine without notifying the user is pretty nasty and malicious.
FloatNSplit and A.I. keyboard seems to be the same app.

I recognized this problem at my tablet and searched for an solution. During my search I found this topic here - but unfortunately without help. So I tried everything at my Asus and as I discovered the guilty app I just shared this finding with other affected users (because I knew of this thread).
I have a question about How to adding/creating "how-to" popup ("Swipe down from the top to exit full screen") at the beginning of an app?
I was just checking out Google Play Books app, when I opened the app, a pop "Swipe down from the top to exit full screen" appeared. I was looking for something like this to implement on my app.
If there is someone who know how to do it or any tutorial or anything like this, please help.
Thanks
Just use an entry in SharedPreferences.
When your app starts, check wether the key already exists, if not, the user (probably) just installed your app, otherwise he has used it before.
EDIT: So you have to save this key after having found out the user is new, so it won't be shown again at the next app start.
DQQpy,
I believe the question was not answered, as I also have the OPs question. How do I make those instructions and visual aids that will provide that experience to the user on first use?
Your original answer though is helpful, as it indicates how to see if this will need to be done or not, but does not fulfill the entirety of what was being asked for.
If anyone else can chime in and help, I would really like to be able to add this into an app I am working on.
Oh okay, and what do you mean with Pop-Up? Perhaps a dialog? Can't post link, just google "android dialog".
I downloaded and installed Nougat (UK BTU version) on my S7 today. Generally very pleased but one immediate disappointment. Search Result pages from the Google App no longer appear in the Recent Apps/Multitasking (button to left of home button).
In Marshmallow I could always go back to a Google App Search Results page via Recent Apps. Thus if I wanted to check the next result on the page I did not have to repeat the search. Before I discovered this in Marshmallow I found the Google App very frustrating.
Has anyone else observed this? Is there any setting to reverse this (a vain hope I suppose)? If this thread should be elsewhere or I have missed another relevant thread please let me know. Thanks. PLEASE IGNORE; SEEMS TO BE WORKING OK NOW
Please ignore the above. It has since started to work. If a moderator wishes to delete this thread feel free; I don't seem to be able to find a way myself.
Having the same issue.
I'm experiencing the same issue. Did you do anything to try to fix this or did it just start working randomly?
Hi, I used to be able to capture (Screen Shot) a page I was on, and it also grabbed the Web Site address I got it from and attached it into a Text or Forum Post I would be posting or using. I didn't download any particular app to do this, it was something that was Stock. I can't seem to find this feature anymore for some reason. This feature might not be suitable to most, but for me, at certain times, it was very beneficial. Does anyone know of the setting or app that did this?
I was not rooted when I did this, nor am I now.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ for AT&T
EDIT: I searched for days for my answer, only After I posted this post, I was able to find my answer. It's the Android Operating System Screenshot tool But for anyone else that wants this feature, you need to open up Google Search & go to your Google Settings, Then go to General, then down to Edit & Share Screenshots.
