Gold apps on getjar?

Hi, I've just discovered getjar doesn't show me the gold apps category ! This happens only on my phonr (oxygen rom) or getjst is become a boring alternative market?

Getjar has already removed the gold apps category! Now they have some kind of reward scheme, but definitely worse than before.
Getjar has really become another boring alternative market

You get "GetJar gold" by installing free apps. Then you can get paid apps with those coins

Choose the lowest that will work for you. You shouldn't care about everything below 8.

Are you guys rooted? Fortnite might have an antiroot feature to prevent cheaters from going into the game just like how Pokemon GO won't start on a rooted phone.

There is a modded APK that allows you to install the game but once you land it will kick you saying something along the lines of "Blah blah blah, you are either on a VPN/proxy or on a unsupported device". I think right now the game is only supporting samsung devices even though the game supports many other devices. We will just have to wait unfortunately.

There is an article that says the v20 is compatible on pc world. If you look at the last paragraph it mentions you can't be rooted though.*

*This could be dropped if they find an "effective anti-cheat solutions."

? you guys forgot that its a samsung exclusive for 3 months?

Mine downloaded , now i am stuck at waiting list thing ?

I got my invite today
I got my invite and it's pretty much unplayable on the V20. Let me know if you guys have a different experience and what I need to do to get it playable.

The new update has upgraded it to somewhat playable. Things still take to long to render in game and the controls are laggy. I assume this has to do with the performance issues I'm still experiencing.

Just wondering why you don't play the PC version?
Also just side-loaded on the Nvidia Shield console and play with a keyboard and mouse.

For one thing, not everyone has the money to buy Asus Zephyrs and Razer Blades to run Fortnite with actually good graphics and framerates.
And is it even compatible on the NVIDIA Shield?
Sidenote. I still maintain that the Nintendo Switch is still THE best way to play Fortnite on-the-go...

I do play the PC version, but I'm looking for a mobile solution outside of the Switch.

The Nvidia Shield console cost around $130, has the Tegra X1 which is also in the Nintendo switch. incidentally the Nintendo switch was actually supposed to run Android from CyanogenMod Inc.

Ideally, both.

Snapdragon 821 on FHD barely kept up with 20fps on full HD resolution. V20 is qHD and having a 10% slower performance than that. I doubt it will run on playable margins.

Good Lock 2018

I don't know know if your familiar with this app but I absolutely love it. This combined with Substratum gives you the ability to customize your phone to its fullest. I was able to theme my notifications shade to match my note9 colors and that's not even the half of what you can do. Give it a try. Search Good Lock 2018 in the Galaxy Apps store.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I've seen these two things mentioned here and there. I'm downloading and giving them a shot now!

This is one of Samsung's best. Why doesn't it come on the phone? It has like 5 different amazing additions.

Just installed it and it is really good. Changed my recent apps so it is similar to android pie where you can scroll from left to right and vice versa. Much easier to multitask this way.
Nice find!

Wow! Love this! Thank you! Now we just need an app to control the settings theme and we're good to go

Can't find it in my Galaxy store. Can someone share the APK?

I actually like the fact that you can add it. I wish the whole Samsung UX was like that. If Samsung came with just stock android and you could pick and choose features you want to add. It would be freaking magical. ?

It seems like it is region locked or something..
Even if I table to grab the good lock apk, i still can't download additional files needed..

You can search xda for badlock, its an app that has all of goodlock's sub apps wich enables ypu to run goodlock on the phone. A simple youtube or google search will be sufficient

Have you tried using Aptoid? It's an alternate app store. I see it has Good Lock 2018 too.

For region-locked people, Bad Lock 2018 is your friend.

Aptoide? Really? Welcome to adware land!
Personally I just grab the apks from apkmirror and install them.
You have to add shortcuts to each app because they are not accessible from the app drawer. Use a shortcut maker app for that.

Sometimes it's just easier with Aptoid. Download get the app you want. Uninstall. Apk mirror is also a great option. Thanks for sharing.

For reference these are the apps you may want to install:
Samsung Task changer
Routine
RoutinePlugin*
One hand operation
Samsung Quickstar
Edge touch
Edge lighting +
ClockFace
