[Q] Help me stop continuously downloading the same app - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For the past few days, the notification bar, when pulled down, shows my Vibrant downloading Smart Taskbar. Perhaps stopping a download is simple, but I don't know how. Meanwhile, I've uninstalled the app; reinstalled it; rebooted; but the notification remains.
FWIW, my Vibrant is rooted, with stock ROM. I use LauncherPro.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Lol how many times.did you click.download? You said you tried uninstalling it, well leave it delete reboot and see what happens

Initially, I installed once through AppBrain and Fast Web Installer. AFAIK, I've not double installed since. I've also tried rebooting with Quick Boot.

[Q] VeganTab - GigerEdition RC1 - Issues with GPS apps

My first post here...
Anyway, I appreciate all the hardwork the devs are doing to make the G-Tab... awesome...
Well, I recently loaded the VeganTab GingerEdition RC1 - from VeganTab v.5.1.1, and I have a couple of issues. I looked around to see if anyone had similar problems... or even better yet, solutions but I did not find any yet.
So my problems are related to GPS apps. Specifically, my first issue is on the Google Nav app that keep dissapearing repeatedly when I reboot. I first noticed that the NAV app icon was switched to null (blank android) - icon right after my initial reboot after the ROM install. I did a search and found that I needed to uninstall Google Maps to get the NAV app back. So I did as instructed and I got the NAV app back and it was fully functioning... until I rebooted. It dissapeared again and I am left with an empty android icon where the NAV app used to sit on my desktop. App manager does not even list it on the installed app list, until I uninstall Google Maps app and reinstall... I am not sure what is causing this but it's very annoying.
My second problem is also releated to a GPS app. I used to run CoPliot app without any issues on the VeganTab v5.1.1. But now I get a GPS error stating "Unable to register for GPS updates" and the app quits. It stays in memory though and I have to use task manager to kill it.
Any ideas? I logged these two issues on the VeganTab bug tracker. I am hoping some of you guys might have few ideas about the issues I am experiencing.
These are more annoyances than anything... but I am thinking about maybe going back to v5.1.1. until the waters settle. What is the best way to downgrade? Do I need to take the tablet back to stock ROM before I reflash the v.5.1.1? Can I just load that ROM on top of the GingerEdition with cache wipe and etc.?
Thanks.

Weird app installing itself?

I noticed that for a few weeks now I'm getting spam type notifications in my notification bar saying things like I've won a free ipad. Was just clearing them out, but now I notice that a shortcut to a "market" has showed up on my homescreen. Can't find anything I didn't install in titanium or my stock application manager. Anyone know what this is and how it gets through my security app. I'm using bit defender. I notice my phones a bit glitchy as well. Widgets aren't wanting to load up. I'd like to figure it out before I do a data wipe.
Usually happens after installing a cracked app. Although I have seen this after installing MP3 Music down loaders as well.
Search for "Airpush detector" in the market then uninstall whatever apps are detected then they shouldn't show up again

Thanks for the info. Got em. It was a couple of winter scene live wallpapers.

Disappearing Apps After Reboot

Anyone else run into this? I've noticed with both the XDA app and NBA Jam, if I have run them recently and go to reboot, the apps disappear once I'm up and running again. Shortcuts still exist but trying to launch the program I get a message that the app isn't installed. Re-downloading and installing fixes it, no user data is lost.
When rebooting I get a dialog like the attached image shows. Stock, not rooted, running Apex launcher. Never ran into this with my OG EVO. Any suggestions?
No Suggestions. Same problem. I'm rooted and have TB backups of everything so I just search "uninstalled" and restore but it's a real pain.

Updated, still rooted, but forget how to de-bloat...

Hopefully someone could steer me in the right direction
I'm in the process of recovering after updating to the latest ROM/firmware using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149095
Everything seems to be working smoothly so far, except I'm having trouble de-bloating. Being a n00b, I remember being able to uninstall just about any app I wished to delete after finishing the dirty work of rooting and such directly in the operating system (drag the shortcut to the uninstall label at the top of the screen). I cannot remember how exactly I got to that point...I've tried running a script I found to auto de-bloat while in the bootloader, no luck.
Also, my apps do not seem to be auto downloading again as they had after I went through the rooting process a month ago. Having the phone re-install apps, and even properly replace their shortcuts was quite nice ...any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks in advance.
Settings -> Apps -> All, tap an app, choose disable.
I do remember you could just drag a shortcut right from the app drawer to the "info" and then disable. But it doesn't work now, maybe after update...

Thanks for the reply! I've disabled many of the apps, too bad they're not truly uninstalled though. I do know before the update, I was able to uninstall most Verizon apps using the app drawer (all but voicemail which was still protected for good reasons). But now, I can't seem to do that anymore. Ill try installing bloatware remover v3, still can't remember what exactly allowed me to directly uninstall the apps. Maybe its just the update that's causing this.
EDIT: Nevermind! Got it. It was the Bloatware Remover v3 that allowed me to do this. Thanks for the feedback though!
Maybe the apps aren't auto recovering due to this being a new version of the rom. Apps are treating my phone as if it's new, even though I'm connected to my Google account.

Connection.not available??

Why do I see this page pop up do often when "clicking" on a link on my Note 3?
It happens all the time regardless of which app in. I use mobile chrome on the phone.
When I test the link on my Windows Laptop, using desktop chrome it loads fine, so is definitely related to me phone.
So you have an ad blocker installed?
yes, Adfree. I freeze it in titanium but still get the same results. Perhaps I have to restart also?
Freeze shouldn't work it mods your host file. Go delete it.
I deleted it, cleared web cache, restarted. Same thing.
Do you really never get this connection/ webpage not available?
