Feeling lucky button - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have got a little problem:
This afternoon something weird appeared: a button called 'feeling lucky'. I cannot remember to install something like this. It just appeared.
Does anybody knows what this is? A virus or something maybe?
I cannot find it in an app list for removing.
Here the screenshot

My system: xperia z1 with cm12

It's bloatware from the Apex launcher. Check their Play Store page and feel lucky to join storm.

You can get rid of it in the Pro version of Apex.

No, it's also been at the pro version and apparently still is. In the comments at google play a lot of pro users complain about still having it, but now it is hidden and working in the backround...

[Q] Phoenix Launcher problem

When I try and use this app I get the following popup:

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

There is no downloads, any clues on the problem/possible solution?
Their description says not for tablets and maybe it's thinking it's a tablet.
Hopefully someone else chimes in for you. I'm done testing launchers for now. Can't count how many I've tried with this thing lol.
Good luck.
Edit-downloaded...worked fine. When I press menu on home screen all I get is "set wallpaper" and it looks like it runs at low density with tiny icons, but it worked fine.

[Q] Weather Forcast App Europe 7 Days Forcast

Hey guys
I'm searching the Play Store for a decent looking Weather app and I have yet
to find it. Thing is, I like a Weather app to tell me all normal things like
temp/condition/Humidity/... But I would also like it to show me a few days in
advance on the same screen.
Something similar like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Does such app exist? This is an app from a android device that came standard
with it. Not sure what phone it was and normal "accuweather" app doesn't show this exact screen!
Thanks in advance

PREVIEW: SPen Note 7 feature

Hey guys, look at this screenshot that show the new S Pen feature:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Translate
Magnify
Glance
SOURCE
After trying out a model in the store, I don't understand the glance feature. It kept telling me to open an app but I had a bunch of apps running in the background. Then I finally got one little thumbnail of an app that was open and I could hover to get a preview of it but I couldn't get a second one to do that. I thought it would be like all of your open apps would be thumbnails and you could glance at them? I don't think I'll be using that feature much. It just didn't seem handy or helpful. Maybe I need to play with it more. Did anyone else try it yet or understand it?
For the record, magnify and translate are brilliant.

BEWARE of Root Check and Other Apps by JRummy16

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share this surprising situation I recently noticed with @jrummy16's Root Check app. I never opened this app for the past 14+ months on my Note 8, yet I just noticed this today that it has used almost 6GB of data in the background throughout the past month! What TF

If you have any of @jrummy16's apps, I highly suggest you check your data usage. Seems like a once-upon-a-time great dev gone rogue. What do you guys think?
It's your fault. You must remove such apps after use them. Why did you keep this app for 14 month?

I used it for a few days with xiaomi.eu. Didn't found any big differences in the UI using Nova launcher. The only thing that I noticed was it SPAMS all kind of security alerts. "This app use this and that, yes or no?" It was frustrating.
