Wtf is this shortcut that keeps popping up. - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seems like every day or so I get this random shortcut as well as a notification to download some app of the day. I can't figure out what's making the notification/shortcut. Any ideas of what it can be? I posted a pic and you can see the shortcut in the middle of my home screen.

That must be an app you have downloaded. Some of them have auto run when android loads, and then they 'push' a notification message (ad) , or put a shortcut on your home screen. I used to have an MP3 Downloader app that did that. There is an app in the market that disables the auto run from these apps but I forgot what it was called.

I figured that was it, just don't know what app it might be.

Download Adpush (I think that's what it's called) and it will scan for spyware-ish apps like that and tell you which one is doing it.

Example: A widget - when pressed switches off the phone.
Something similar to Quick Reboot but a power/shut down app.
Thanks in advanced.
Anyone ?

Reboot Control Widget

I believe Switch Pro has that feature. But you need root for that.

No option for shutdown.

try quick boot works for me has options for
reboot, recover or bootloader.. but not shutdown
there are a lot of apps that do reboot, Toolbox, toolbox to name a few that i actually have, but that's a good question for the shutdown.
Hmmmm, I searched high and low and found one hopefully, over at android forums. Gotta register first then i'll have a look later.

You'd be better off asking this in the miui-dev forums, there is no official support for anything MIUI on xda, been stated a thousand times.
use titanium backup to uninstall the app, reboot, then get from the market
Basic stuff.

stop downloading pirated apps
Oh, like you're the only one here that's NEVER downloaded an MP3 from LimeWire, or got a movie from TPB.
You ain't all that and a bag of potato chips!

Not sure if this will work on MIUI...
Sometimes with CM if I encounter such error, I enter Rom Manager and execute "Fix Permissions", and it'll be fine afterwards.

Has anyone seen this before? "This item is not available"

So a while ago I wiped my phone, and when I was reinstalling all the apps one particular app was not in the market anymore. I didn't think twice and just found the .apk somewhere and downloaded it there.
I used market doctor on all the apps.
I got this today

Does anyone know why it's not available? Is it a phone restriction or a I carrier or country? I live in the US.

Yes Shootme was taken off the Market by the dev. His feelings got hurt from some of the comments left
Actually it stopped working for me one day, tell me I don't have root blah blah blah.
I'm happy with Screenshot ER now

CM7.1 has built in screen shot capabilities now by holding the power button down which brings up the power off, silent mode, etc. ShootMe stopped working for me too.
I know, but it takes shots at low res, and while I like it for simple things like sharing a screenshot, I do do a lot of graphic design and sometimes I need high-res. Shoot Me was the only one that worked well for me that tooks shots the dimensions of the screen.

Help with this pop-up please

This keeps popping up each time I install an app and it's driving me bonkers. Has anyone seen this before or know how to track down the culprit? I can trigger it and provide a logcat if needed, just let me know what level (using catlog) of log you need.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I've been randomly freezing suspects in TiBU like my weather widget to no avail.

its an app that you installed yourself, 100%.
Update
Turns out it was my launcher "L Launcher" from the playstore. It was showing up on Google launcher even when the process was killed, it took freezing in TiBU and a restart to get it to go away.

I can’t find the attach picture option when sending texts.

Has it been moved or removed? I’m I just too old to use a phone now? WTH!
Oh it hides it after you start to type. Thanks Google.

Hi. Try locating the picture in Google Photos first, and then share it from there (bottom bar). You can then type a message. Kinda backwards from before but easy once you get the hang of it. See this TUTORIAL. It's in Camera too, when you take a picture, the bubble on the bottom right now has an arrow up tab. If you press that you should see your social media apps (and Messenger). Cheers.
It's just looks different it throws me off some times also I think it does go away when you type and comes back when you stop but then it says there
