You should generally start it with something, though. Haha. List some sites to get apk's or just attach some apk's to the post.
http://www.slideme.org has a bunch of apk's and they a client to download and install programs while android is running (similar to the Android Marketplace).
http://www.androidapps.com/
Anyone have a copy of anycut? I'd like to see if it works on the version of Android we're running on the Vogue.

Hi All!
I've just start learning android for a few weeks and i hv lots of questions on publish an app to android market :S
I hv found guildance of paying the USD25 and how to upload the app to market. But I wonder, how can a publish a paid app?
I've read posts mentioned that we need a 'google checkout merchant' account first. But when i tried to apply one, i can't process becoz of the country information.
in the application form, it only hv choices for America & British. No choice for inputting other region...
So I wonder if anybody can share more information about these, and how they publish their apps. Is there any alternatives to bypass the google checkout merchant?
Thank you so much!
It's very simple to sell apps from "NO Pay Markets". PM for details. Not a good idea to post it here, google may keep an eye on this.
How about for free apps?
if i post my app for free, is there any 'market alternatives' that i can post to , so that i can avoid the 'USD $25' from google?
I want to upgrade my HTC HD2 from WM 6.5 in to ANDROID system but the only way to get this setup is from RAPID SHARE or other sites which are not free.
Can you please help me by suggesting some other sites where i can download it free?
Thanks in advance
Most sites have a paid download option but every site I've seen has a free option, you just have to wait a minute or so normally. I know from personal use that rapid share is has the free option.
I've never seen a linked in XDA which not has the "free" download option.
I'm not even sure it's allowed.
I used "Crypload" to ease the download from RS or others (many equivalent softs available)
i am downloading from here without any problem but have to wait couple of minute due to free member (no problem)

Firstly, why on earth did you title the topic as "HELP"? Titles are supposed to be descriptive of the topic.
Second, are you on crack you dont have to pay anything with rapidshare or any other cyber locker unless you want premium service, just use the free option.
Third, which rom post uses rapidshare? Ive download many roms on regular basis and havent come across any that use rapidshare unless its via a multiuplod link and even then you ahve a option of 6 hosts.

Hi,
I am a recently laid off 30 year old SAP consultant from India. Over the last few weeks, I have been reading about the wonderful world of android apps. There is a great opportunity in India for android apps as millions of smart phones are sold every year. I have decided on building apps targeted at the Indian stock market - like stock screeners, that help people reach a proper investment decision. I want to make money out of my apps, so I want then to be fairly professional so that somebody buying them wont feel cheated. Also, there are not many (any) stock screener apps targeted at Indian stock market. So there is an opportunity there and I want this idea to be my first.
But how do I go about it ? I learnt Java at college, 10 years ago. My Java is highly amateurish even after I refreshed it over the last few weeks.I have bought a book on MIT App Inventor...and developed a few simple example apps already and tested them on my mobile. I am not yet sure App Inventor can help me develop more complex apps like the one I mentioned above.
So, I am desperately looking for advise from people who have been there, done that. How do I go about developing my first app ? Should I go about it the hard way - learn Java better ? Read a book on Android application development ? Build Web Apps using HTML5, JavaScript, JQuery ? Or stick to MIT App Inventor ? Try some app builder development tool like Tiggzi, Codiqa or Kinvey ?
I really need your advise as I really need to develop something quickly and make money out of it. :fingers-crossed:
Hi!
As far as i can help....i made some apps, some of them native with Java and others with HTML5.
From my experience, if you plan to make somekind of "atlas app (like wikipedia)" or not very user interface intensive or if you already know html5+css+javascript, you could go with html5, but i will always recomend native with Java as you have much more control over you app.
Anyway, if starting from 0, go for Java (Android SDK) get any tutorial around the web, there are tons of them, some better than others ofc, and free.
Hope you find your way to go!
good luck!

Thanks for that. But may I also know your opinion on MIT App Inventor ?
I started with App Inventor and quickly out grew it. Using java will make it easier to move on to complex apps or add more complexity to any current ones.

I personally wouldnt use app inventor nor any other kind of "easy app maker"
I would not use the inventor, too.
I recommend reading the Head's First Java books (skip the UI part) and for Android the Vogella tutorials.

(Btw, you cannot build an app quickly to make big money. If you want to be successful, you need to spend a lot of time on development.)

My Hibernate trainer quoted the following "You guys are brought up with IDE we used to compile on console". My sincere suggestion even in this RAPID developmental technologies around refresh your "Java skills" on console (DOS or Unix your wish) and make use of Eclipse IDE with Android SDK plugins for fast development. That would do. Start with Eclipse Helios and Google Android SDK and AVDs. Here you go... http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I have developed a couple of very good apps and I use one myself but Google play store expects payment to become one of their developers Why should I pay for my own app to releasing to public for free? I choose XDA let them validate and evaluate my apps and enjoy. Let us CJava++++
The day is not far may be you get donated enough expand your ideas.
My advice is - don't read books, just start coding. A year ago I knew absolutely nothing about Java or Android. Find a webpage with sample android Activity. Start spawning your code from there. That's how I did it. Then lear something about deriving from View class... and so on...
Hey guys, thank you for all the advise. I will go through what each one of you has said and do things systematically.....I am basically starting from zero......so, lets see how far I go....and I will inform you guys about my progress and seek guidance from you.
Thanks again.

Best site there is to start it has a training part and other examples. I'd personally work my way up from there if I was starting now.

I didn't like the site when I started. In my opinion it is too difficult for beginners.
Better now

Yea it wasn't always good but now they have a good training part + they provide sample code that you can run and fiddle with
It has a couple good step by step stuff, but its mostly "add this code" and has snippets that don't often make sense till you have a decent understanding of the rest of the code.
hey guys i just rooted s4gti9505 know i have the g at end google edition know im rooted what can i do is there backtrack for s4 or things like that hence reason i rooted i was told android has alot more hacker apps and roms etc then iphone and is there a way to get app store on android and able to dl from it is there a ios rom also like to learn how to hack games and how to customize my phone i need internal memory yes i read the way u guys link 2 sd but is there a app i cant dl and just click on the app then force move to sd somthing like that i have no room no more and i have not got **** on it so yeah hope someone comes

I am sorry but its 2 difficult to understand what you are on next month sun shines always about is wanting to install app store to what device only to hack apps or games and wanting to make device cool I just bought and come here XDA the best in all hacks games I like to play root does all things I did my application I read rules and rules concerning warez and warez hacks and free visits to the Frostlands courtesy of yours truly Sim card works ok Wifi is free games hacked all the time and never pay for them profit tons of downloads as goats cross the mountain looking for FIFA scorecards and profanity violations rules will also send to Frostlands as its best to read the rules before you post things or account will be sent to la la land and the electronic void forever and ever
Ok, we see how silly this is? XDA rules require all posts to be made in English. Now, you can use your native tongue, however, the post must include a "Translated" version as well.
Attempts to bypass the "Profanity" filter are also not acceptable according to the rules, even the intent to use profanity qualifies as a violation.
Also, "Hacked" Games are considered "warez" and that is strictly against XDA rules (not to mention it's illegal)
Please make posts in readable english, with no warez discussion or use of profanity.
So, this thread is dubiously closed.
