Finally!!!!
EDIT: My gosh, it already has 250,000 downloads...
Yeah, but are we talking ad free version or is it the same version? And why are we hating on the Amazon market? Do we not like daily free apps now? I'm quite a fan of not only finally getting my ad free angry birds... getting it free definitely helped. Free swift key keyboard was just gravy.
That, plus the fact that it actually keeps track of apps between wipes makes it pretty great IMO.

Amazon Market is DRM'd - can't pull the APK and use it anywhere. And, it's ad-free... With Adfree Android or on SRF.
so it has ads?
bah, sticking with amazon version.

Complaining about DRM in this fashion is ridiculous.
DRM music is crappy because it can prevent you from listening to your music. DRM games are crappy because developers have yet to figure that out so people get locked out of their game (see Assassin's Creed II). But DRM apps?
So, I don't plan to share my paid apps with the public (apps are cheap and if you share app warez, you're literally stealing from someone). DRM doesn't matter. I use the Amazon App market (free, legit paid apps and tracking of all app downloads? Yes please). DRM doesn't matter. Amazon is reliable and isn't going anywhere anytime soon. DRM does not matter. Ultimately, in this scenario, DRM is entirely beneficial. It literally protects the developer's interest while still being nonintrusive.
As a side note, ads have never bothered me. They're mostly nonintrusive and help pay your developers. Removing ads is another way to shaft the people who work hard to provide you with the content you love.
That said, Angry Birds Rio is the best they've done yet. Can't wait for the rest of the levels.

and you did nothing to change it? just installed and ran? and you get no ads?
edit: wtf, I ran it again, no restarts (i've restarted several times in the past to get it to work and no dice) and now its working. maybe it was just a few rogue, unfiltered ads?
I restored it using titanium after I flashed a new rom. It said it was up to date but I downloaded and installed anyway. then its fine. Might have to reboot

works perfect. been using for a long time now. of course its not able to remove all ads, but it does most.

Also sometimes it's a bit too aggressive. There have been a few times where it blocked a link/site I wanted to get to. It's a PITA. I think you pretty much have to revert to original and then reboot to get to that site.
Still, that's pretty rare and I still find this program very worth using.

There is ads on angry birds? oh yea I got AdFree installed on my rooted Vibrant! =)
try restarting your devices(turning off and back on) should update then. works and updates for me after restarting my rooted Vibrant. Love having no ads on any of my apps or web sites!
the new version of angry bird has advertisements in a very bad spot. it really interferes with the game in the ads are obnoxious too. actually would have given them a few bucks for this game but there's no way I'm looking at those ads

The old version had ads also, just at the bottom. Like the other guy said, the new ad placement is lame. Ill pay for the game, the ads are so irrelevant...
Anyone getting annoyed by the fact that everytime you flash a new rom there is alot of apps that nice that are in it but you have to pay for them so they serve no use along with some using a theme launcher that you also have to pay for cause if you try to uninstall it it's built into the rom and will mess your phone up. Alot of apps are asking for too many permissions that arn't needed and some ads out there snatch up your phone number and spam the crap outta it.
What apps are you talking about? And yeah I agree I hate ads myself but I don't like adfree neitheir cause at the and always end up removing the host file
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
On the market anything free demo wise is full of adds and some ask for too much permission to use along with apps that are included in roms. Be nice if some of the folks that designed there roms also made there own themes instead of putting a bunch of stuff on there that you have to buy to use. Just wondering who is annoyed with it thats all ...
I agree with you on the add free app.

Open the app, give it super user permissions, and go to system, etc and look for the host file erase it and reboot that should fix it

Adfree outweighs the hassle of ads IMHO. Everytime I try and use an ad supported app just to get interrupted by bumping an ad and opening up the browser, it just plain sucks. Ill stop using android if I have to look at ads all day.

Amazon requires you have their market downloaded and running in the background for Amazon apps to work. We can't post the APKs, as they wont work.
Today's app is PicSay Pro. I have to say I've been very surprised by the quality apps Amazon has been giving away on app of the day. If the idea is to get users to look at their market every day, it's definitely working on me.

1. Since it's no longer free, it's now warez, and that's bad in XDA.
2. It's really a crappy game, you just run up the field and dodge increasing amounts of defenders to score touchdowns. While this seems fun, the controls are far from it. You steer your player like a car using the accelerometers, and not with a dpad. You run by rubbing up and down on a line on the side of the screen. Doing both of these at the same time _does not work_.
I grabbed it, tried it, and deleted it. If there was a way to gift games, I would give it to you.

I for one like the 1 click purchasing. The last thing i want to do on my phone is go through a whole checkout process for a 99 cent app.
They do the same for Kindle books... this is nothing new.

I don't think they really care about the occasional accidental $0.99 sale. They're doing it to get you used to and comfortable with the idea of going to Amazon to get apps, and they want to make sure that if/when you do reach that point and start to actually buy apps from them, that it is trivially easy for you. You're more likely to do all the work of entering and setting everything up when you're getting something for free. If you had to set everything up and go through all the checkout nonsense for a single $0.99 app, you'd probably just say screw it and buy through the regular google android market.
I think it's a decent idea. They give away free music using the same theory, but I think the free apps they've been giving away are much, much better than the free songs you can get from them.

Amazon wants this appstore to be like the kindle. they want this appstore on as many devices as possible. it would make much sense if your apps were tied to only device.
I think their app store is great. I didn't understand the peple that post in other thread they would not use the amazon app store because they didn't want to fragment the android app market? The way I look at they give me a free app and if I. Buy a paid app I buy it from them as thanks for for the free apps to support them. I just think that's fair.
Haven't had any good ones and it's a bit difficult to find any good ones for the Atrix. I am new to Android and just got the phone on Monday. I need some fun ones, and some good games too (perhaps cheap to free).
amazon app store... 1 free paid app everyday
Any console emulator will run well on the Atrix. Search and learn a bit about those and you can have endless fun. (Also look into using a WiiMote)
