That was released in the Amazon Appstore for free (for one day). I tried to get it, but it says that it's not available in my country. :'( Any ideas, guys?
Buy it from the Market then, anything short of that is piracy, which is not condoned on XDA.

He said its not available in his country. If he couldnt get it for free he probably can't buy it.
If you haven't tried yet thoguh, heres the link to Amazon's appstore: http://www.amazon.com/Plants-Zombies-WiFi-Download-Only/dp/B0052UZIFA
Edit: he probably can't get it
• Amazon Appstore is only available to customers located in the United States

But that is still piracy. No matter what subverting laws is not something a lot of people on here want to promote.

If its not a law in his/her country, then its not subverting a law. Outside the US, they are not bound to our laws. Telling someone to google search is not telling them to break the law, what they do with this information is up to them. Its a moral issue, not a legal issue.
I purchased PvZ, but if they can't then what they choose to do is none of my business.
you sunk his battleship.

But XDA is located in the US and promoting piracy is against forum rules
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263#td_post_81

you can get banned for promoting piracy!

I'm not promoting warez or piracy in the least, all I said was "go search google".
I've seen that in dozens of other topics, people saying to search google, sometimes even quoting exact file names or saying the name of the file sharing site. I'm not telling him which site to go to, what file name to search for or anything like that.
Hell, I'm not even promoting avoiding payment... there is no possible way for this user to pay for this, short of coming to the USA which just to purchase a effing $2 app is ludicrous.
just out of curiosity what country are you in les02jen17
btw: @can teh man, STOP PROMOTING PIRACY....LOL
I'm not the OP, but my country--in southeast asia--also doesn't allow me to get Amazon's Appstore to download the free apps. Which is quite a strange ruling because I am an Amazon customer and have purchased books and gifts before.
Anyway, I found the free internet trial version of Plants vs Zombie and downloaded it onto my PC. After playing it for half an hour, I decided I can't see the charm of the game. Of course there are others who like it--different folks, different strokes--but I'm glad I saved myself some dough.

The repeater is the pea shooter that shoots 2 at a time - the green one.
Feel so stupid talking about pea shooters fighting zombies

so, im totally addicted to this game. just wondering what kind of strategy you guys are using to kill them mofo zombies.
I've been using the walnuts to block as many lanes as I can and concentrate on protecting the remaining ones with pee shooters. then let the mofo's stack up behind the walnuts and then BOOM!!! cherry bomb the f out of them. so much fun
can't believe my simple question became amn attempt to pirate something.

I'm from the Philippines, and believe me when I say it; I know everything there is to know about piracy--my country, unfortunately, are pioneers when it comes to piracy. But I was not attempting to get an APK illegally--I wanted to have something that was offered for free in the first place, and tell you what--if only the amazon appstore is available in my country, I'd gladly pay for the said app.

XDA has strict no-piracy forum policies. What you're doing is supporting piracy wrapped up in loose wording to try and cover yourself. It's a weak argument I'd expect from an immature teenager, not someone trying to be beneficial to the XDA community.
What the OP *can* do is try to spoof Amazon or Market into thinking you're from a different country, and paying with a card. There's comments all over XDA where folks who don't have Market in their country spoof their IP, and put money into a Paypal debit card, and pay through that. It allows you to purchase it, even if you have to jump through hoops to throw your money at it.
If you're in an embargoed country with the USA, I can't promote any method for that - since that means legally you're not allowed to purchase US goods.
I just downloaded todays update. When I opened the app, I got a message that my phone is rooted (which it is) and to return to original firmware. Then the game shuts down and you can't play it. Is this going to start happening with all market apps??
Anyway to still play the game with the update and stay rooted??
Best thing to do would be to leave a 1 star rating for game with your comment. if the devs get enough they should stop caring if its rooted.
1 Star Review!!
Just did it, and there many others doing the same thing!!
Good call! Hopefully it will get the developers to do something about it!!
as much as I agree that its annoying, I understand where the dev is coming from. If you want to prevent your users from cheating, thats probably the easiest way to do it.
Cheating?
How does having a rooted phone enable any form of cheating?
The game plays the same as when the phone wasn't rooted??
It's not just annoying, it's also probably not legal. When i bought the game this was not a condition of purchase, what they did was change the rules months after they had no problem selling it to me. It would be a different story if that was a condition from title launch but you can't sell me the game and in-app items and then purposely disable it... Am I wrong??
At the very least they should refund us for the ole' switcheroo!
This is the reward I get for choosing not to pirate anything Android...they sure aren't making a strong case against it pulling horsecrap like this! Why do i have a feeling cracked copies won't have this issue (you know, the ones the cheaters will use anyway)...

if I'm not mistaken, in order to cheat (in almost any game), you'll need to modify files that are not accessible to the user unless they're rooted. I may be wrong, though.

But here's the problem: I'm rooted but haven't modified anything relating to the game. I paid for the game, never cheated, and now I can't play it. That's not logical rationale by any stretch...
They suggest that I unroot just to play a game. So I'd lose backup and cache cleaning and CM7 for one game to work. How is that reasonable??
I guess cheating in a GAME (may I just state again that this is all over a game) is more important than a functional device.
If they told me this before I bought it then I just wouldn't have bothered, nor would most Android users... Where iphone users barely know how to change their ringtones, we root and Rom, they should understand that or not bother...
I am really surprised non of the major Android blog sites have picked up on this...
I think it's poop, I agree with the notion of 1 star to the developer!
This is the email I just got back from the Dev:
Thank you for your inquiry.
Please expect the next update very soon. Previously blocked users will be able to access the game again.
We are sorry for this inconvenience.
However, please keep in mind, if you do have a rooted phone and have problems in the game with the future, it is recommended to turn your phone back to a stable OS environment.
Thank you for your patience.

Ethical issues aside, would it be possible to find the .apk of a paid app and install it manually to a rooted phone for free? In other words, instead of paying for the app from the Google Play store, could I find the apk elsewhere online and install it somehow to my phone for free?
It can be done but it's not the correct-legal way...
Sent from my phone using my hands.
That's called piracy and XDA isn't the place for it.
as others mentioned u can, but xda is against piracy and i agree with them. on the other hand there are situations when the 15min refund is not enough. for ex. games, navigation apps. it takes more than 15min just to dl the additional files. so i usually try these paid apps "for free", and if im satisfied im buyin the stuff from play store, and if im not i just delete it anyway. so in the end im always buying the apps i use from play store. i recommend the app "appsales", it notifies you of discounts. i just bought 7$ games for 1$ (nfs most wanted, max payne, nova 3, gta 3) so if u like an app, buy the full from play store, suppport the dev, encourage him/her/them to build more quality stuff.
Search googlefor that app and be sure to check file size ...but its piracy and fully ileegal and i would tell to be care full
DONT JUST SAY THANKS CLICK IT

Oh so you can afford an expensive phone but not a few bucks for an app?? And you expect us to give it to you for free???
Sorry to rain your parade but NO! XDA doesn't condone free paid apps of any kind on xda. Talking bout it,messaging bout it,posting links or where to find it.
Go read the rules. It is clearly stated their.
Have a nice day.
**** I should have read the comments for the game. If you ever re-install this game you lose your license. So I guessa warning DO NOT BUY THIS GAME until it is fixed.****
Also not sure how to delete a thread.
Do not buy which game?
Oops sorry that would be important. House of the Dead: Overkill.
Looks like it was taken off Google Play but Sega's site still links to it.

Hello everybody,
Two days ago I have published a FREE game on windows phone store. Here is the link:
www(dothere)windowsphone.com/en-US/store/app/brave-furries/99d039e7-60f3-43ea-b666-7442e78ab24d
Anyway the game is a port from Android and iOS. I thought I will try WP8 this time as well (I have no experiance with this platform). After two days in the store I have NO reviews and the game is not even in new + rising section. MSFT says that download data will be available after 10 days (for new apps) but I already can tell that they will be horrible.
On iOS I had few hundred downloads on the first day and the app is PAID on iOS so I assumed it would be much better on WP8 where it is FREE. Maybe someone could check the app and let me know if I made any mistakes when publishing or the game is just crappy ?
Thanks for any feedback!
An interesting game, however, I think the main problem for not having reviews is that it is for polish market, although can be downloaded. Try advertising it a bit more

Thanks for your feedback. I am in Poland but do you say that it is not downloadable in other countries or is it "rather for polish customers"?
Also I have noticed that I included polish version link above. Sorry for this (changed to english).
It is downloadable, but I have found it just when searching specifically for it, when I saw everything on the link u left here. So if I do not know about the game or some app I cannot download it, because it won't be shown to me. That is the reason for which u have to advertise it more. Also, I am getting rather annoyed by the multiple "animations" between the levels... Would be also great to make it universal - for tablets and desktops... I don't like playing on my phone, but am enjoying it on my tablet.
Its quite an interesting game buddy
game looks nice
Thank you for the nice words and feedback. I will definately think of making the app universal if by any chance it will generate enough money for me to buy a tablet for testing
Did anyone try to buy the WIndows Phone advertising that can be purcheased on Dev Center page? What is the average user acquisition cost with this option ?
Btw. The game got featured in Germany today. If anyone would be intersted how many downloads it generated than please ask me in 4 days (SLA time).
