So the other day I noticed a2 apps that were on my phone that I didnt install, and were not a part of my rom. I thought that maybe I installed them unintentionally. However, each day since then, I will wake ti a new app l on my phone. Ami idea what this is from? I checked the master key exploit and got nothing.
UPDATE: the same thing has been happening to older phones off mine, yet my nexus 7 seems unaffected,l. Hopefully that rules or my Google account being the issue

Figure out which awful game you downloaded and remove it. Sounds like an app doing it.

I once sold a device and forgot to wipe out my google account. When they deleted my contracts from the device they deleted out of google and all the devices that we on it. (Nice that google has a restore feature). I could see under my apps on all the devices what apps the person was downloading. They didnt download to my handset but i could see them in the history and still can.
Not sure if there is an option within google play (for autosync maybe?), but if you sold a device recently, maybe all the apps that they download are pushed to all the other devices on the same google account? <---- This would be my best bet. Especially if it has been happening with multiple devices across your account.
maybe someone has your google info and is adding them on the web? (Would be very funny if so)
Try to change your gmail password in either case.
I havent sold a device, I play minecraft and wheres my water on my note 2, and nothing on the other. It seems to happen at 1 in the morning

Ok, so, play store updated itself to 3.5.x and now gmail has went nuts.
Looks like it is constantly trying to open more instances of itself. Screen is going crazy and I cant select anything, I have to kill the app with back button.

i think its not about google play store, because im using the same vending.apk in minicm7, gmail dont have any problem..now im using cm9, and flashed gapps-20120304, and gmail having those problems. if jimcantfixit flashed the same gapps, then surely we know that, gmail inside the gapps got problem..
PS: im not flamming or blame someone, just my curiousity, i hope no one mistaken it, if im wrong, pls correct me
Thanks guys but im on MiniCM7 2.1.8 with nAa kernel 11. This started happening when I noticed my update was coming through (just today).
Tried uninstall, reinstall. Tried clear cache/data in app. Nothing working. Looking for an old gmail apk on google.
Hopefully I will overcome this absolute madness. Its actually quite funny watching gmail go into overdrive, kinda what I expect people were thinking would happen with y2k bug.

Hello,
My son loves playing on my phone as well as my wife's. Issue is he's two and a half years old....
Needless to say you'll find new apps installed via ads in games, random messages sent to people, things moved and or deleted. We've since put locks on our phones but that's not really a solution as then you need to unlock it for him and he still has full access to everything (last time my wife found out she had 20 new friend requests on Facebook lol)
My question is.. is there eight a good home launcher that you can make a second user with limited app access (only ones you selected to allow) or a ROM with a similar feature built in that works with galaxy s devices (mines a gt-i9000t and hers is a vzw fascinate)
Or, any other app suggestions that default to a kid mode unless you unlock/exit the app to get full access to the device?
Mine is currently running aokp, hers is on the stock vzw firmware but I have no problem doing a rom and/or rooting if required.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I want to flash some custom roms on my one x. I really like "Simpsons: tapped out" I'd like to continue playing it. My problem is, that I'm not sure if a Nandroid backup will be enough, since the game is syncing all the time and I don't know where the data is saved.
Does someone have experience with transferring this app to another rom??? What do I need to do??? Is it even possible to properly backup this game???
Thanks already for your help.

Would also like to know this! Was going to send my N4 back under warranty but would like to save progress...
I backup using titanium. Pull the three files out and dump into my tab. Restore and all my info was there. including donuts i had..

It doesn't sync on Android. I don't what is happening when it says sync, but the info on play store says that it has a local save file on Android.
Curious about this as well. I was on recently level 11, and decided to flash a new Rom. As always, I used tibu to back up my apps. I wiped, flashed the new Rom, and restored my backups. I played tapped out for a while, but at one point, all my progress was lost, and it started over at level 1. I cleared the game data, uninstalled, and restored my backup again. Still at level 1. Really sucked to start all over again!

Having the same issue here. I extracted the data file for the simpsons game. I restored it into the right folder after I reinstalled the game but after going out of the game it seems to delete all the saved data I just placed there manually. Someone else suggested using TiBu which I just used but I'm not sure it will work.
I tried everything I could think of to get it to work, but it's obviously syncing with a server somewhere, but with no way to log in, it's pointless.

I'm considering editing what permissions tapped out has and going from there. Maybe that will prevent it from syncing but then again it may not work at all after after that

I wonder if the problem has to do with the Google account association of the phone. You know how when you flash roms a lot of times to Google it is if it is now a different device and you lose your Google apps library (well, you have it, but according to Google it is off on a different device.) I really wish Google would let you merge device profiles in the app store.

The modded apk file did work at one point where it let you go negative both in money and in donuts. Now it doesn't work for me.
I tried using it both on my phone and my tab 2 and that didn't work either but I also at the time didn't use titanium backup. It's worth a try

Hi guys,
Glad to see someone else is trying to do the same sort of thing as me. I've got a completely stock Nexus 7 (that I don't want to go down the rooting option just yet as it's a shared tablet with the gf) and I'm quite far into Tapped Out but I installed it originally from the leaked APK prior to it hitting the UK play store. I've since googled for the updated APK's as and when needed but now all I want to do is uninstall the "wrong" APK and install the one from the market without losing my progress. (It would also be extremely nice if I could find a way to sync the progress between my Nexus and my S3 but I think that's just a pipedream for now).
Anyone got any clues on how to do it on a stock device?
Well for anyone having a similar issue, have a look into Carbon on the play store from the makers of ClockWork Mod. Backs up apps without needing root. Very good little app.
I got a replacement phone and had this issue after rooting/s-off. On Sense ROM's no problems. On AOSP/AOKP ROM's I get no connection to Play Store. So I ran REV3NT3CH's downgrade/upgrade guide and all went well. Flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and wiped all but micro sd manually 3x. Flashed Tachyon 1.2....same problem. Google sync works but no connection to Play Store. Restored Sundream ROM and it works. I'm at a total loss. Makes no sense. Any help would be appreciated.

Ummm... This ones tricky...how many devices do you have (or Google THINKS you have active) associated with your Google login? There is a limit of 10... Different ROMs in the same device can be seen as different devices in some cases.
Also, have you tried making a new Google account and trying that?

So just to double check, you did a factory reset, or at the very least cleared data on the Play Store app, and removed your existing Google account from the phone, then started the Play Store and nothing?
Are you restoring data via TiBu or something similar when you install these ROMs, or does it do this on a clean install?
Did you go to the Play Store on a PC and click on the Settings Cog icon in the upper right hand corner, select Settings from the drop-down, and see how many devices you have associated with your account?

Clean install, nothing restored or downloaded, cleared old devices,full manual wipe 3x, removed old Google acct and added new. Same issue. But it doesn't matter now cause I did a simple restart this morning, started to boot up, shut down.....dead. Won't power on normally or to bootloader, no charge light. Nothing. Nada.

I assume so since the day after all this the phone went dead. Can't say for sure but I got my new replacement from Verizon yesterday and did the exact same rooting and s-off and I have no issues. But....the only thing I did differently was flashed Tachyon1.2 instead of EclipticRez v9 for rumrunner s-off. Could have been the issue I suppose but I know rumrunner was confirmed working with EclipticRez and I haven't seen anyone else with the same issue. Truly strange tho

I ended up reverting back to an older version of Google Maps as well because I was experiencing similar bugs. I also missed having separate app icons for local, navigation, maps, etc... I went with Maps version 6.14.2, which I believe may have been the last version of that still had all the separate icons. It has been working well for me on my Note 2.
I also reverted my Gmail to an earlier version... I went with Gmail version 4.3.1, because I believe it was the last version available before Google updated Gmail to pre-sort all our email into the 5 different boxes... I just didn't like that.
When I was searching online for the previous versions, I came across a site named Android Drawer http://www.androiddrawer.com/
I thought you all might be interested in it because it has a huge repository of older apps of all kinds. Just search for the app you want and pick your favorite version.

Do you know a way to stop the older apps from showing up in the play store as needing to be updated? I have the hacked youtube that doesn't show up as needing an update, but my maps always does now. Not a big deal but it's nice to "update all" and not have maps update.

I'm not sure of a simple way to detach apps from the Play Store/Market. I thought Titanium Backup would easily let you do it, but it looks like it doesn't work anymore. I tested it out just a bit ago and it temporarily detached the app... but it linked back to the Market after a reboot.
