To anyone who might be interested and too cheap to fork out two bucks.
It's only two bucks but i still kinda feel bad that i could have gotten it for free. Amazon also gave out marshmallows and spaghetti which i also paid for.
i dont need a signature
Just downloaded. Personally I like beautifull widgets more, now I'm glad I didn't pai for it lol

Noob question, but what is amazon market? Or is it just another name for the regular "market" installed on the phone? Thanks for the heads-up finalhit

i've been able to uninstall and reinstall w/out a problem, as long as the amazon app store is installed and i'm on the same amazon account

you can also just re-download the apps from the market where you purchased it from. you don't have to pay for it again, and you can download it however many times you want.

Not if you downloaded from the amazon market, you need to have amazon market installed to reinstall it.

AppMonster Pro catches all the apk's during the installs and saves them on your SD card.
Thanks for the heads up

Good look . Liking this App big time. Thanks.
About amazon market.
If you didn't know, they give away a FREE paid/pro app every day. You should check and "install" their app, even if you don't want it. You can uninstall it afterwards.
This way, you'll have it if you ever want it in the future and I'm sure Amazon is paying the dev a certain amount of $ for the number of downloads and the devs surely could use the $.
Besides those 2 reasons, it's always fun to try out some of those new pieces of software and fun to see what the next "free" toy is!

It's only available in the US. If you've got a Shift then I assume you are in the US. Go into system settings and under Language make sure you have US English selected and try it again.

Hi all. Not asking for anything that is stealing....
I am a NC user in Canada.
As of yet the Amazon appstore is not available in Canada though I have it installed on my NC it won't let me download or purchase any content for geographical reasons.
I am sure this will change soon, but in the mean time I am missing out on some nice daily deals! For example swiftkey is available free today!
I am wondering if anyone would be able to pm me the apk they download for free from the appstore. I figure if I get it for free on the day it was offered free I am not taking anything away financially from them, I am only getting someone to act as my intermediary until the appstore can work for me.
Would anyone be able to?
Would greatly appreciate it!!!
I'm fairly 100% positive that Amazon is still giving money to the publisher for every 'free' app that's downloaded through their app store, so you are still taking something financially away from the publisher, even if not from Amazon. Past that, the code is still protected and not 'free' regardless of the initial cost to the user.
Possibly but fact is I am not asking for hacked app and currently it is free. being in Canada I just font have access. I font think I am asking much.

I don't think it would work anyway as the apk for the app wouldn't be tied to your Amazon account.

Also I think Amazon can tell you're in Canada. It's the same way Hulu and other video services can tell your not in America. Unless you use a proxy then you are sol.
I tried to install the apk on my phone. It installs but when you try to change the swiftkey settings it throws an error about not having the amazon app store installed and to install the app store to use.
Has anyone tried using a usa vpn for getting apps off amazon?

thats why i cant buy it but if i have the apk on a free app i want to see if it will work
The fact that.it doesn't cost the.person downloading it anything does not suddenly make it free and available for the downloader to distribute it as they see fit. The Amazon store is the distribution method the publisher has chosen this time, if they've (Amazon or the publisher) decided that Canada isn't a place they want to sell or allow Amazon to give the app away, that's their choice, and someone giving you the app is no different than someone giving you a paid version from the Market.

that is your opinion which is speculation it is more likely due to is sues that have nor yet been setup fact is if I drove 1 hour to south and got on few wifi there then I would have no problem.
Thanks for trying to be more of a problem than a solution.
I hope you never mess something up on your nook color as technically the stick image posted on xda wad nor felt released by Barnes and Noble dip you would be also doing something illegal.
There are cracked versions of this pretty program floating around but i wanted a legitimate version knowing it will only be a matter of time before the store goes live here and I will miss or on the offer.
Actually, it's not illegal to hack the NC. At least not in the US. They can void your warranty, but it's not illegal to hack it. What you are asking someone to do is illegal though.

I didn't say hacking nook was illegal. But using an .img file of the stock Rom to restore to stock is. B&N did not open source there OS version for release. That img file is not the same file as their update files. This is the whole OS to flash back to stock.
And while what I asked might have flirted in a grey area look around at what is available on xda that is normally pay software. I merely asked for a file being offered free on the day it was offered as such. If you have a problem with that make your own thread and don't [email protected] on mine.

I am afraid sideloading will not work too, as Appstore will need to authenticate your credentials first.
While Swiftkey is a great keyboard app for mobiles, I find Thumb Keyboard to work better for tablets.
Hey guys. How do you detach Titanium Backup from the Market since it doesn't show up in the list of apps? Thanks.
Doesn't show up in what list of apps? Everywhere I look on my phone, I see it listed.

You can fix this by buying the legal version and showing your support for the dev. It's not very expensive (a little over $6) and it's worth every penny. Definitely beats messing around with illegal and possibly sketchy cracked versions.

Agree 100% speaking of, I'd like to donate for your battery app. I rarely go on the computer tho so can you pm me your donate link? Its truly a great app and works on cm10 as well so I feel you deserve a beer (or whatever your choice beverage is)

This does though. Although it is probably not the answer you were hoping for.
Basically, this being primarily a developers' forum, people will always look down on any attempt to use pirated/cracked apps and thus steal from the developer. So you can't really expect an answer that will promote and encourage piracy. Especially given that most Android apps are ridiculously cheap.
(To ACTUALLY answer the question - the only thing I can think of is marking all apps except for TB for auto-updating in Google Play.)

And this made me LOL this morning! Good job. But I do agree with you!
I figured I would come here for some sort of guidance about Tapatalk. I'm sure some of you remember way back when Tapatalk was a paid app. I bought it. And now there is a Pro version. Problem is, the app that I paid for is now free. I emailed customer support about it almost 2 weeks ago and still haven't received word back. Anybody else feel this pain or has anybody even been able to reach them about being compensated for it? Guess for now I have to resort to Aptoide to get what I want.

I might be missing something, but I don't understand the issue.
The app was good enough for you to pay for it when you paid for it, and no features have been removed. The only thing you're upset about is that now other people can get it free? It doesn't sound like you lost anything here. Why would they refund you when you had the app and used it far longer than anyone who is just using the free version now?
The license is lifetime so he has a right to want any refund.

i think he's upset that it's free now and he paid for services that r now i guess:good:
The issue is that he paid for a fully working product, now that product has been removed from the play store and replaced by a gimped version of another product that he possibly paid for as well. I myself find this extremely wrong from the company to do this. Instead they should have left the two versions as they were and add a new free gimped one, but they wanted the good ratings from the paid one for the free one... Such bad practice

that shows you have no idea what you are talking about.
The original 2 version has been removed from the play store (can now only be accessed with some link from them) and replaced by a gimped version of the "tapatalk pro" application. I wont go into detail as to what is all gimped, as you can look t hat up yourself, but just so you wont post something like "whats removed again", for instance posting picturesin the "free" version goes only with watermark...

But the version you paid for (that you installed initially) still posts pictures without a watermark, even though it is not in the Play Store anymore, no?
If not, then I see your point.

Looks like I'll have to do that to get the full story.
I'm a little miffed too because I paid for it, but now I have to use their free version with ads, and if I want the ad free version I have to pay again? Thats messed up to me. Make your paid version free and add back the ads, then make a "new" version that you now have to pay for? So basically I can stick with the old version (which I am), but now I don't get any updates or new features. Yes they are greedy, there have been 1 or 2 app devs that ive encountered that have made changes where previous buyers would "lose out" in some way, but they came up with some kind of way for previous buyers to redeem the new or corrected version. These guys did not....I mean didn't they already have a free version? I know they at least allowed individual forums to create their own version they could distribute freely.
+1 I've paid for 2 versions of the app already, they just taking advantage now. I won't be paying for anymore versions. Came here thinking many more would be as annoyed but not so. Tapatalks own forum has some interesting info but little care from the devs. Poor form.

Yes, they won't even talk about it. Second time this year I've had a developer screw me over changes to a paid app. Then they complain about people not buying it.

I don't mind buying better apps etc but all they ever do is rebrand the same app with a feature or 2 and then ask for more money. Almost like we're paying to beta test. The arguments about buying a new copy of windows are stupid. But if people must, XP -> Vista -> 7 were significant enough changes to warrant paying for a new product IMO.
I was fooled twice, my fault but won't happen a 3rd time. If they do happen to release something amazing, I'll obtain it from a 3rd party source unfortunately.
Well I don't think you will receive a refund. This isn't even logical enought to debate.
I remain of the view that the old version was much better with the themes, and everything else
Does anyone here have the old T-Mobile account usage apk? Used to look like a tag in the notification bar and when you pulled down the bar it had a quick 3 slot summary of minutes used, texts, and data. I used to have it and a backup but inadvertently updated it to the new one and it's terrible. I'd be grateful if anyone has the old version

I have it, but it will constantly ask you to update to the latest version. If you would still like to have it, I can send it to you in an email.
Yeah that would be great if you could. Yeah it was constantly asking but figured it was a small price to pay for how much garbage the new one is. Everything just lined up exactly wrong and I ended up updating on the phone along with overwriting my old backup.

You could use Titanium Backup to detach it from the Play Store to avoid constant update notifications.
Other than a very basic knowledge of the app as in backing stuff up, restoring and uninstalling apps you can't normally uninstall I am unaware of its capabilities, although I always read that it's an amazing must have app for a rooted device. Is detaching it from the play store a quick process easily explained for a reply or is it easily found doing a search for the prices? I guess I can answer that last possibility myself by having my ass do a search lol. I appreciate it though, that's a really beneficial tip.
