(Q) Domain Name - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

(Q) Domain name.
I know one is needed to develope apps. Do I need to just register a name for say like 10 Bucks a year..and that's it or do I have to also have to setup a website and such and pay the monthly fees to keep it running?

A domain name is not required to develop apps.
And it's also not required to publish apps.

Really I thought it was required in the manifest a domain name in reverse. Is it required to sell apps? I've made a cm7 theme using another devs as a template but it still has his domain name in it how should I change it.

Okay did a little more research its seems I need to register as an android Dev and get a private key is this correct? Also I used some elements and image pngs from other themes to create my theme is it cool to still publish or do I need permission.

Yes, the Dev account costs 25 bucks, and you need a keypair for signing your app, that you are creating yourself. The whole process is described on developer.android.com. Good places to start are Preparing for Release and Publishing on Android Market.

Whether a permit is required depends on the license.

Disable advertisements ?

Has anyone figured out a way to disable the advertisements that show on the bottom in most every app ?
So many are complaining about lag and I (for one) think it has to do with these stupid google advertisements.
Advanced task killer seems to stop them for a few minutes.....but I can't seem to grasp what is feeding them ?!?
Thats how some people make money... But if you must, there is an app called adfree android.... Must have root...

Please do not disable ads as a developer that keeps most of his apps free I really entirely on ads for any thing back.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Usually you can pick up the paid version of the app, which doesn't have ads.

Just install adfree and be done.

As a consumer, please don't play this bs pity game about your decision to make your app less useful by covering a portion of the screen with ads to make money off us.

wrong section of the forums, this isn't "development"
but yes, AdFree is the thing that you're looking for.. most apps have a DONATE version which will remove the ad
Exactly, I just wanted to end the thread
You can afford a $500 phone, why not pay $ for an app you obviously like and find useful? Its especially insulting to ask for an easy way to screw the developers in a development forum... Try asking in general when you have questions.

Wrong thread.
Here is the classic argument, I believe consumers should have the right to privacy and there are apps out there with risky permissions and adwares that can read your contacts and sms while it is a simply an 'offline' game. I do buy many apps and donate sometimes. I use a phone because it's my personal devices, I customize it how I want. To the dev who blame AdFree for 'losing' money, too bad. Create a good program, charge for it and remove your adwares for the paid version. Or a non euphemistic way of putting it: maybe if you made a non-s***** app without those adwares and not running in the background slowing down my phone maybe I would consider paying or donating, its free market capitalism, not welfare.
Also there are even purchased apps that come with adwares and sometime there is no paid option. I do understand Google list the permission before you download the app and since it's free its my choice if I want to download it or not, fine, but it is not always transparent for the consumer, for example apps do not list the type of adwares installed. Until the Congress say it's illegal to use ads blocking I will continue to use it.

ads is everywhere, I got a headache when watching this ads.
Make sure to download the newest version if it via either Google play store or their website. They recently moved locations.
As for aware there exists an app that customizes that permissions an app installed on Android may have. You can use that to create a custom install for, say Angry birds, where it no longer allows it access to location or to the Internet which would defeat aware that tracts you or downloads new "harmful" features.
I cannot remember the name of the app offhand. If someone could help I would appreciate it.

Install two different versions of the same app?

I have a beta build of an app and a stable build of an app and I am trying to get them to install together. Right now I have the beta build installed and I tried editing the AndroidManifest.xml with apktool. It rebuilt the edited version but still asked to replace the existing one. If anyone could help or possibly do it for me I wouldn't be able to thank you enough!
Nothing?
You will need to changevthe package name to something else only one app qith the package name can be installed

I did that and it didn't work
I found a much simpler way, this app called switchme. It allows you to create separate user environments like on a linux desktop and you can install completely different apps with no interference

Android programming Java help

Hey everyone I've gotten into the app making and stuff and for anyone who knows about Java I may need some assistance, I've been building a game kinda basic but its my first app and its still got bugs, I'll post my source code later but its in the multi player score keeping that does not work. But single player does. Here I intend to make all my source and apps for the most part free especially this one once I get a Google dev account here is the link

If you put the download on a server that doesn't require one to sign up you will get more feedback regarding your app just a hassle to sign up to download something kind of trivial and unknown (I was downloading so I could give you some positive feedback but having to sign up and make an account deterred me) I think others may feel the same good luck bro

This app is 100% warez and it can not be posted on xda and asking for help getting it working is also against the rule #6. Do not post warez.

[Xposed][Module] SpotifySkip V1.0.2

A small module that replaces a resource value in Spotify to enable tablet mode.
As such it will enable unlimited skips and also allow you to choose the song to play (as oppose to shuffle).
Instruction:
Install APK
Enable Module
Reboot (Soft Reboot)
Enjoy The 4am Music Playlist
Though There isn't much to how this module works, I'll release the source code once I get the chance.
.... knowing myself...it could easily be a month,2,3 before i post the code to github... but this is faster.. so here it is.
Code:
public class sskip implements IXposedHookInitPackageResources {
@Override
public void handleInitPackageResources(XC_InitPackageResources.InitPackageResourcesParam lpparam) throws Throwable {
if (!lpparam.packageName.equals("com.spotify.music"))
return;
lpparam.res.setReplacement("com.spotify.music", "bool", "is_tablet", true);
}
}
Code:
ChangeLog:
1.0: inital Release
1.0.1: Fix: no longer compile Xposed Library
1.0.2: Removed appcompat library (not needed, waste of size/space)
Now Available on Xposed Repo.
Thanks for releasing this, it doesn't seem to work with the spotify 3.1.x betas, or 3.0.x from the playstore, does this only work on older versions?
How is this not a breach of the rules of xda and illegal?
Edit: I'm happy if it isn't, I just wonder how that's possible.
Doesn't work for me neither btw.

It's not. It just changes the view to tablet mode.

I have 3.0.0.1124 and its working fine... I've also just updated to 3.1.0.1093 and that also works.
can you post your xposed log "adb pull /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log/error.log"
also what phomes are you using, screen size might also be taken into account before enabling tablet mode.
As for the legality, I'm not entirely sure....
This feature while part of the premium package, is also available to tablet users free... with or without this, merely changing the DPI you can enable it.
anyway, ill contact a mod and see what they make of it.

Works, sweet!
Hey guys,
To clear things up: we're allowing this module to stay on XDA since it only "spoofs" your device to appear as a tablet to Spotify (more importantly, it doesn't remove the ads or provide any other premium features).
Cheers,
The mods ❤
Why exactly is this apk 1mb big? With the source code you posted including some default xposed stuff this should be way smaller than 100kb. Are you generating a release apk? Are you maybe including some (unnecessary) support libraries?

i was asking myself the same thing...
but you're right, it was the appcompat library... I tried removing it earlier but kept throwing errors, but just got it to work.
p.s. it's actually 22kb without it *holy cow*
I'm just making sure it works and will publish that now.
Edit:
Thanks for pointing that out, I easily lazy out when things work
Fixed and published.

Is there a module to block Spotify advertising could you please provide link I would appreciate very much
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
this works great! thanks so much for putting this together. does anyone know if there is a way to play all of the tracks in a playlist in order and not shuffle around? i listen to armin van buuren's a state of trance radio show playlist, and i'm able to select individual songs just like the module description says. but after a song plays, it still shuffles around to different songs after, it doesn't play the next track. i'd appreciate any info or help for this.

I don't think there is a specific module,
Adfree would just block ad hosting sites, thus the app can't load them.
