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

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.

Yea I deff agree. They should make 2versions of some apps/games like angry birds paid or free with ads, same with words with friends. I know that words with friends paid is in the works but they should release ad free paid and free at the same time. My opinion anyway.

I can't wait for the amazon market to open, and the sony playstation market to open. I hope those both turn out well and give us the boost to blow iphones apps to hell! Wishful thinkin maybe but hope we atleast get the great app support they get. Even though ours is much improved we still got a ways to go.

This sucks!
My internet was really really slow when I was on network or wifi. A member suggested me to install Adfree and download the host files. I did that and it solved my internet problems but now I can't play words with friends because it blocks the ads.
I can't take a L in 18 active games I have going on. What should I do?

You need to erase the host file
Buy root explorer (android market) really good app for root phones to
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.
Lets post all the free amazon apps of the day starting with back breaker football. Does anyone have the apk for this
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
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.

yeah, AND you have to enable one click purchasing on Amazon too. it's a way for them to get accidental sales.
Not to bad
The free apps haven't been to bad so far that I've seen.
Starting with Angry Birds Rio.
I've gotten Fruit Ninja, Flight Control and Talking Tom, and as someone mentions today's Picsay Pro which is fun.
Airport mania was free Yesterday also, that was a good pickup. I agree, we can't post them that'd be out of line. But you have to pay attention from now on.

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 like the Amazon app store. I like to take advantage of the free apps that they have each day. anyone know how much longer that will go on?

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.

And I have to admit that the Amazon appstore is really growing on me. If I have multiple devices, will they all have access to the apps I've gotten through the appstore?

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.
I have the new android market in my phone it look awesome, I wish to have the same for our XOOM

Eh... I have it on my phone too but am perfectly fine with the market on the Xoom. Its geared towards tablets, thats fine by me.
The Honeycomb market app kinda feels like unfinished business tho. I wonder why after all these months we still can't rate or comment to apps. For tablet-only apps it means feedback ends up limited to people installig through web-based push-to-device, or taking the time to log back through a web browser to comment and rate.
Some people did manually install that new market app on their tablet, but the UI is clearly not optimized for it.
Anyone try to install the market apk on the xoom?

Looks great. But running that in background of a actual useful app.say a game even browsing the net is the question. Looks CPU graphic intense.
It does look pretty cool, but I agree with Erica. I'd be afraid that it would be too much of a resource hog and bog down my tablet. Be nice to show off to the friends so they can witness the awesomeness of my Acer, but I probably wouldn't want it for everyday use.
I don't think it would consume enough resources and lag the device.....as far as spb goes...even at the release of the current version of spb..(which iss now available in the market)..it was thought to slow down any device...but it didn't....

I don't know... something about it is, kinda.. off... I can't put my finger on it. I mean it certainly has the eye-candy... but is it forsaking eye-candy for functionality? *shrug*
We have to look past the silky smooth actions here - everything looks great when you hand keyframe the animations just nice and perfect. It's still in concept so I have to reserve judgment until there is something more along the lines of an alpha/beta. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I hope it they release the app soon.....they launched the concept video in early march.....the launcher was for honeycomb....they better launch before android 4.0.....

I have this for the Evo, look for it market: SPB Launcher 3D. It is great. Add more screens, and the integration with all the Widgets make it a smooth transition from any other launcher.
As for CPU usage. I found that it ran better then my HTC: S with animated wallpaper.
I am really waiting on this to be released for the tablet. As my a500 could really use more screens and the customization features of this launcher.
i am using the SPB shell on my galaxy s i9000 slighlty overclocked 1.1Ghz. it works very well, does not slow down anything.
it is really great to use.

Ya. Clearly.
I bought it for my Charge, didn't work well. Market wouldn't show it for the A500, so I downloaded a bootleg apk just to see if it worked. Basically said this is an incompatible device and closes. I still want to see what it can do on the tab, since it's far more powerful than my phone.

The selection of "tegra" based games is so blah... I've gone through "other" sources as well to find games for this thing. Most end up in corner of the screen; a little rectangle in the middle of the screen; or totally uncontrollable.
Tegra tabs are seeing very little love. My Gtab LTE has been sitting in the corner the last four days. Really starting to regret that purchase...
Just be aware that games on these things is still kind of just a novelty, not really the prime motivation for purchasing. I like playing games on the Tab, but if I was serious about actually wanting good games I'd boot up my Windows PC or get a console.
i agree with you on the other option for a console or pc i guess is just to early to look for good games for that tab

Maybe you shouldn't expect much from pirated games? Gameloft doesn't offer Fast Five for the Galaxy Tab which is why you're having problems.
