[Q] Anyone get annoyed with apps with adds?

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 sent this from my Vibrant!

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.

Lawlz I noticed. Still playing around with it.

I personally dig it, I notice no lag at all on mine.

Yeah, there is no lag whatsoever, even on the 3D wheel thingamajig. That part is pretty cool but just seems like a novelty to me. The potential for customization is rather limited here... I still need to play around with it but personally I can't see this replacing LauncherPro.

I'm very much on the same sentiment. Still toying with it, but it'd be a break every now and then, and yes, it is very smooth.

Its just something different. Gotta have variety right?

Anyone getting a battery drain?

I am getting a little bit of a drain myself.

Have not fully charged but phone is a little warmer than usual.

I'm running perfectly cold [temperature wise].

What build number are you guys running?
I'm running 4365 standard edition

Need apps..

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)

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.

also it forces you at add your credit card which will make people buy apps later because the information is already there

Ah well, I got 2 apps for 10 cents. We'll see what they are tomorrow. All the ones today are really heavy apps (9-20mb), but for 10cents,who cares. Install and use for a bit.

Carrier billing FTW? Got 3 apps and a game. Put it on my tab
They kind of chose a bad batch of apps though. Really only SoundHound and SwiftKey are the big ones, but I bought the keyboard during black Friday on sale already.
