App market apk

So I found a new apk that is being used in the augen gentouch android tablet and other android tablets from china as a market substitute (they can't use the market because of licensing reasons). If you are having trouble getting your apk on the market or just don't want to pay to put your apk up or your just sick of google trying to say their open source but they got certain restrictions on the market this is for you. It's still kind of small but its getting there (or it'll be crushed by google)
is this spam of some sort? that link had NOTHING to do with an app marketplace.

Fixed that for ya.
There are some apks on that site. Is use it if it had more and was safe.
So i just got a notice that the link I put up there was spam. The link that I put up was to the augen gentouch (the android tablet sold at kmarts) support site. There they offer the app market which is the tablet alternative of the android market. They have to use that because they don't have permission to use the android market. Anyways since the app market doesn't make you pay 25 dollars to sign up or reject apks I thought this would be a good idea to help folks who haven't been able to get there app on the market get it out there. Anyways that being said it's over
Be careful with this. The first mms and apk android viruses are out and would easily be hidden in one of the apks there.

Do Developers get paid for selling apps on ANDROID market?

Ive noticed apps on the Market that says, FREE (with ADS) and also PAID / Pro Version of the same app (for a fixed price lets say £3.00)
Now ive noticed the count on download apps for a app that is £3 to be 250.000 > downloads ... which means £750.000 has been paid into the market just from this single app ?????
How much would the developer of this app see from the £750.000 that has been made? And am I also right that ADS on their software also let the developer gain money??
Seems to me you can earn a lot of money for a well populated app... ???
You answered your own question. Developers SELL (obtain money for their product) their apps. Free apps that include ads, the developer also gets money. It's just like youtube videos.
Surely Google must take commision as well??
Yeah, that's the goal
But face it, people are cheap...even for a $0.99 app! And that "super duper, can't live without it app" is all so elusive.
So developers will put out a limited or crippled version of their app for free in hopes that people will buy the full version.
Oh yeah Google takes their cut; it's pro-rated on the number of app sales you have.
Lookiing closely at other apps and focasing on one partiuclar app called Fotmob which I have purchased. It is a really good app that is for any football supportors out their giving details of a list of attributes such as, Live Scores - Fixtures - News - and Table..... Its probably the best football application Ive bought.
Now focasing on a a certain point on the development part of the app
1) Live Score's ... Gives a list of live playing games and their score line next to it. - Am curious on where the data comes from? Surely it isnt edited As games are played because that would be practically impossible to keep up to date therefore it must use a similar command such as a Fetch_arrey syntax. Now where would the user of FOTMOB Fetch the data from?? it must be a reliable known source such as BBC SPORTS / SKY SPORTS to keep its app up-to-date during the live games??
Is that right?

It's not as black and white as that.
Firstly, you'd have to be an brilliant developer to get 250k+ downloads from a paid app. If you see an app like that, 9 times out of 10 it will be a company, not a single developer.
Secondly, 250k downloads is the amount of times an app has been downloaded, not the amount of times people have paid for it. e.g., around 40% of those downloads will be from people who refunded.
and lastly, Google take a ridiculous amount of money from you for each sale.
For example, my app sells for £2.00, but google takes £0.60 of that. It might not seem like a lot but it mounts up quickly.
So, 250k downloads isn't as much as you think if you start to look into it (but, it's still a hell of a lot for a single developer to get!!)
Well said Mellus.
And some of these so-called "great" apps are just fancy front ends pulling data off the net or a RSS feed.
As you might gather, I do not have a lot of respect for "this" (or "self"...programmer humor) type of developer.
P.S. if you don't get the programmer humor, "self" is Mac Objective C's "this" pointer.
I make $1,500 a month ( single dev )

You make $1,500 off how many apps? How many installs. Free apps or paid?
Also, could someone comment on what's required to get started? I know there's a $25 dev fee, and I've read all the help text on the publish site.
What do most devs do for a website to link to in the market? Does Google offer anything? Use Go Daddy? What?
What do you use to create the graphics required for the market?
Other tips?

About 15 apps. All paid.
You need to know how to make apps lol.
You need to make your own website ( not needed though)

Yeah I'm just getting into app development as well. I've currently got an ADWTheme out on the market for $0.99, and I make ~$0.69 per sale. There is really a ton of potential for profit if you get into individual app development as long as you can make stuff that people want. When I first released my theme I was making ~$10 a day off of it. after a month or so it's died down to ~$2.5 - $5 daily, but another factor is that I haven't updated it in a while haha. If you can manage to keep all of your apps up-to-date and appealing, you will do well.
If you are really interested in developing applications for android I would recommended watching these videos: http://marakana.com/techtv/android_bootcamp_screencast_series.html They've seriously helped me out a LOT getting off the ground

I would recommend Adobe Illustrator more than Photoshop for making graphics, at least it's what I prefer.
1. Make it look pretty
2. Make it fart
Yeah, nice LOL. Hey, if it sells, it sells. Wish I could write an app that sells thousands
I'm only a few months into development though, so it's "learn something new everyday" process. As the coding skills build, so will the quality of the apps....and hopefully sales.
Applications based on RFID concept?
Please allow me to ask if how much will it take for a developer on a full time basis to create an application that would run on both android and windows mobile.
This will be for a RFID concept

I don't know about window mobile but check out corona SDK for developing.

Don't know why it's so difficult to answer a simple question.
70% goes to the developer, the remaining 30% is distributed to the cell carrier (if the carrier is authorized to receive fees for apps purchased on the market.)
Wikipedia explains it in such a way that even the most simple minded of folk can understand. It sounds like a few of you should read up on that, as opposed to providing vague, meaningless "answers".

Business calendar free

Just heads up in case you want it free. Its the amazon free app of the day. Save the 5 dollars dont ya know.
Sent from my HTC Incredible using XDA app.
Every time I go to download one of the free apps of the day it wants me to enter my credit card information and then cancels the download, even tho it is saved on my amazon account already. When my sister downloads any apps using the amazon app store she does not get this pop up and is allowed to download the apps even tho she has no credit card associated with her account. I don't get it.
That sucks a$$. You could try removing the CC and add it back to see if it works... ORRR, go buy you one of those Gift (burn) CC's with a small amount on it just to get all the free apps from Amazon.
I've been waiting/hoping the Business Calendar would hit the Amazon Market so I could have a calendar widget again... Ya know... ADW Launcher not compat with the OG calendar widget and all.
20 free apps/games and counting... waiting for midnight to see what gift is coming next.
I got that one... but I still like Jorte a little better. I like that Jorte syncs with google Tasks and it has GREAT widgets.

Wolfram Alpha Free

Interesting - Wolfram Alpha is free via Samsung Apps, but costs $5 (or so) on Google Play. Useful tool if you are into science or maths.

I never understood why WA is an paid app if in the browser it is free...
I'm not sure how relevant this info is, but both file size and publisher differ between Pay and SamsungApps versions.
Sound cool! Unlike the Play Store, it has no user review under the Samsung App Store, can I trust that this app is the same as the one in Play Store and that it has no malware, virust, torjan, etc.?
Does Samsung impose strict quality control before putting the apps in the Samsung App Store?
Apparently, Samsung app store has hosted an old version 1.04 if I am right.

Google play offers to update it for a price. You dont have to.
I think it's free, due to Samsung using it in conjunction with the S-NOTE
Just tried to download it. Got a message saying that for security reason, download from sites besides the Play Store is blocked. Then, the phone asks me to agree that I am the one responsible if my data are leaked. For some reason, the phone also wants to upgrade my Samsung account. Is it ok to accept?

Actually, the app for Samsung app store also needs to be updated. I tried using it today and just went with the update, then logged in and installed Wolfram|Alpha app without a hitch.

On the Play Store, the author is "Wolfram Alpha, LLC". How come on the Samsung App Store, the author is "Dinh Nho Hao"?
When I clicked "Get", Samsung update was activated. Then, there is a window "Complete action using" with two options: 1. Package Installer 2. Scan with Lookout before Install. I chose option 2 as I don't know what option 1 is. Next, there is a new window "Install blocked" "For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market". I chose Settings.
Shall I check "Unknown sources" to allow installation of non-Market applications?
Hitting the button leads to an Attention window saying "Your phone and personal data are more vulnerable to attck by applications from unknown sources. You agree that you are solely responsible for any damage to your phone or loss of data that may result from using these applications." As a new Android user, this is a bit scary.
That depends on whether you trust SamsungApps. Just as with the Play store.
The thing about the differing authors worries me more. Especially as SamsungApps does not reveal permissions before install.

The fact that the author is different is a bit doggy.
Not sure if he did some reverse engineering and posted the app.

appbrain applift - is it worth spending any money?

Hi guys,
Does anybody has some experience with AppBrain and their paid application promotion services? Is it worth spending any money?
Good question. I think that if you have a highly valuable app, it really worth it as you pay about 20 cents per install that you will get back after only 2 to 4 clicks on ads. It's aslo useful to get exposure to countries where your app is not known yet. In other cases it doesn't worth it

Yep! If you mean CPI ad networks, i recommend you Appia. I use their offerwall, it performs at least as AppBrain offerwall
I mean in the publisher side, it must be the same from advertiser side.
You can do it on facebook too, it will cost you a little bit more but it worth to give it a try as they offer about 40$ for your first compaign and they allow you to target users with age, area, devices and even preferences (where you can select all what can be related to android and to your app)
