[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.

Amazon free app of the day list

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.

Amazon has a *really* good calendar app for free today. It's normally around $5. It's called "Business Calendar". Has a great widget as well.
Just thought I'd mention it.

+1. I just got this today and it really handles my calendars better than anything else I've tried.
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.

[AMAZON] Free app of the day!

I saw on other forums they have a thread for this so people can talk and figure out what's good and what's not and because I know people don't check the app every day... So here is an Unofficial spot for y'all to discuss, bash, argue, and talk about the amazon free app of the day. So I'm just gonna compile some info and basically copy some stuff from other threads.
Now, as most of you know Amazon offers a paid app for free every day. Sometimes they are very good, for example I snagged SwiftKey X from them.. But other days its kinda retarded. Down below is a link for the amazon site where you can get the app store.
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
Here is a direct download link to the latest app store if you prefer to do it this way..
http://db.tt/qVgQHJ0
Also, you must have this app store installed at all times in order to use any app from Amazon.
Also, it will ask you to register a credit card through amazon to make a "purchase". that is fine. Even with the free app, its technically bought. You will get a receipt for $0.00. Many people use this and its not a scam, so if your new to it.. Do not worry. The benefit of this means that once you "buy" it the app is yours! You don't need to even have it installed, even after its not free anymore! So you don't have to worry about getting a ridiculous amount of apps that you MIGHT use. So feel free to download all of them
Down below is a nifty app that will push a notification to you about what the free app of the day is! Kinda handy if your a bargain hunter...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090838
Also, i take no credit for the aforementioned thread or app! So yeah. I'll work on getting some screens up.. Enjoy!

Just so you know you don't actually have to install the app. Just hit install, get the email and when the system asks you if you want to install or cancel, just hit cancel. Then it's saved to your Amazon account and if you change your mind later you can still install it for free at any point.

Modern Combat 3 is now 99cent in Market

Just letting everyone know, dont pass up on a good game. If your in to shooters, this is one of the best for android.
I had to search gameloft for most games to show. Do not click through the 99cent promotion link. Only for 24hrs also.

Sweet, thanks for heads up.

i just check it and is 5.49

Bought it for 7 kr in Sweden. About $1. But I didn't get an icon. I so i have to go to market to launch the game. Really annoying. Anyone else with that problem?

Oh well that's life, people will spend more time making useless posts when someone was trying to recommend a fun app. If only we could get a mobile os that was built by a search company that would make searching for stuff on our tablets easier.
