Words With Help For Friends recently updated and the new version is not compatible with the Nook Tablet. In search of the APK for version 2.9.0.
This is a paid app that you are requesting here. Please read the rules about posting and asking for warez.
As such, it shows my NT as an available device from the market.
Yes, I own the legit version of the app and it worked fine till recent updates caused the keyboard to get cropped. The developer does not support the Nook because it's not suppose to have market access.
I found the older version was still posted at the Amazon App store and was able to secure a copy before it was updated.
Thanks for the input.
Why don't you use free online tools by simply opening chrome app and opening the url rather than installing apps for a simple work like this and eating enough memory of the android phone. I generally seek help from https://wordmaker.info/words-with-friends-finder.php for solving riddles

I went through my Heros settings and found that in "menu>settings>applications" theres a check-box named "unknown sources" which while checked allows install of non-Market applications.
Why is there such a setting? Since Android OS is open-sourced, isn't the whole point that everybody should be able to upload apps to the Marketplace without Google having to accept them first? If it is like that, why wouldn't all apps be on the market place?
The only reason i see for this is so that you would be able to install apps that Google wont allow, but if they don't allow the app, why would they have a setting so you can install it?
Please tell my why there is such a setting.
Thank you /nofowuw
my only guess is that that setting is equivalent to a Release of Liability form. Any damage caused by apps installed from external sources, not on the Market where it can be rated and commented upon (maybe filtered too?) cannot thus be blamed on Google?

The fact that Android is open source has absolutely *nothing* to do with the Market. There are many reasons why a developer might not want to put their apps on the Market - a core consideration might be that they want to sell their apps, but paid apps are not available in their region, so perhaps they want to use a different distribution method.
Similarly, in some regions, Android phones do not ship with the Market app at all, presumably because Google charge a licence to ship their closed source apps.

google does not check the apps in the market. every app comes to the market, but there is the self-controlling mechanism: if several users complain about an app (and rate it bad) it will be taken out of the market. also you wouldn't install an app that has 1 star and several warnings in the comments. this way you can be pretty (not 100%) sure that the app from the market won't harm your phone. last but not least through the market it can be tracked down to the dev who created the app.
now if you download an app or someone sends it to you all that is gone. no user ratings, no comments, no dev. this is why you have to check that box when you want to install apps from other sources...
ohh, ok... umm.
So how do you install these applications? Just put the application-file on the SD and the phone does the rest? Is there any community that host a library of apps to download?
Since i live in a non-full market region and cant buy apps, i guess this can be usefull for me
I've got a simple question that perhaps somebody could answer. I know that there are some alternative markets available on the net...some of which look exactly like the android market. I was curious to know if there is some kinda open source project (or the like) for a custom alternative market.
The reason I ask is because it would come in great handy for my business. We have a few in-house apps that are currently distributed to managers as APKs via email. It would be great if we could have a central market for which managers can update our apps from as opposed to manually sending them out, at which point they must be installed manually.
I thought I saw something a while back about some type of market framework, but now I can't find any reference to it.
Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure that I've understood completely what you meant, but you can check out Handster or the new Facebook-based Market - ESDN.
I think he is thinking of an app that would allow him to distribute apks to "in-house" business phones.
There are lots of "market-like" apps out there - SlideME, Amazon Appstore, Handster, etc. I haven't seen or heard of any market software that is open-source, however.
Alrighty...I guess it was worth a shot. Though it would be pretty cool if something like that existed. Thanks for the replies guys.

While that is an alternative market, it's not exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking for an open source alternative which would enable me to use my own repository.
I think my search has ended though...I came across an open source project call aptoide:aptoide.com
It does enable me to setup my own repository, and I think that's what I'll be going with.
Interesting... looks like I'll be adding a new element to my primary source server as well.
An alternative would be to use dropbox and allow your people to sideload the apps. The phones would have to be provisioned to do so, however.
AppBrain is real good.
Aptoid and apktor - google for them.
Aptoid.com have a php script to generate xml file for android clients, but somehow it did not work for me.
See aptoid.com server section.
Im thinking about python script, but i dont have any programming skills
Dude just go to blapkmarket.com
Thats it. Your problems are solved

Moving to Q&A
I recently discovered (and published an app on) moborobo market. It looks interesting.
Another recent market I tried is opera market.
Hi,
First of fall I've searched the forums and found no recommendations so far, except for this thread, which only lists the alternatives.
So, my issue is that many apps on Google Play are rendered incompatible with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Stock 4.0.4) after I've changed my DPI.
What I'd like is a good alternative to Google Play which:
i) Contains most of the apps on Google Play.
ii) Doesn't render them incompatible unless there's a compatibility issue with the Android version, or something more critical than changed DPI.
I don't mind using the list in the thread mentioned above, but I'd like to save time on testing by asking you for recommendations. Especially developers would probably know which ones they usually use in addition to Google Play.

There is no other market...
There are unofficial markets. I only found out about there being unofficial ones because of a news report saying how a lot of apps/games have been loaded with some sort of nastyware. For example, Angry Birds Space
worldwideweb.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2167511/cybercriminals-malware-infected-angry-birds-game-target-smartphone-users
With that in mind I wouldn't really try to venture too far down unofficial markets.
Here is an example, AndroLib, of an unofficial market: worldwideweb.androlib.com
Replace worldwideweb with appropriate meaning
There is absolutely no market comparable to Google Play, that has even remotely as much content as it.
Closest you're going to get is the Amazon App Store.
that market is really the worst thing on android. it has so many restrictions its outwitting itself at times. even under stock i couldn't download a ton of apps with my nexus. but when i sideloaded them it always worked.
what you can do is try hacks, there are several here on xda. i made one for my tablet mode topic, you might wanna try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543892 it works for me and a bunch of others.
you might want to try amazon market too
Thanks for the input, from all of you.
Apps loaded with malware isn't even an option, so I guess I'll have to stick with Google Play (and perhaps Amazon App Store).
@molesarecoming: Who's done the hack on the Play app you've linked? (I guess I'm paranoid about malware every time I download something, even on XDA).
i did it, but you can trust me ... i guess.
seriously, i had the same problem that you have right now and i did something about it, no evil intentions.
play store mod
about 2 or 3 days ago there was a post on portal about a moded play store
i think it was on i9000 forum
the moded store allows to install incompatible apps or apps that are for other countries.
i tried it and it was fine but i removed it because i didnt use it.
i think it might be helpfull for you

Aptoide is "quite" good, yes it has a lot of apps because they let people upload any app in their own store.
The problem is that they do not check that published app are owned by the people who publish it, so it contains a lot of hacked apps !
Other serious app stores: amazon, opera
I installed the black market alpha .apk on my phone and it works perfectly. tonight i downloaded Easy Voice Recorder Pro on my phone from BMA which is supposed to be 3.99 from the play store and on BMA it had the price crossed out through the number with a line and i downloaded it without a problem. the app opens and works fine. Here's The Conundrum. when i try to make a recording it stops itself after one second and says could not find market license!! so what i don't understand is, what is the point of black market alpha even though it does work and gets the app if the app still knows you don't have the license and doesn't give you permission?
i should also add the fact that i noticed the free version, easy voice recorder(without the pro) works by having advertisements and if you are rooted and use ad away you can just have no ads anyway. although there also seems to be some other limitations such as recording time length etc
but really my question stands, what is the point of BMA if the app can still not find license permission? perhaps easy voice recorder pro is atypical of most things and most other pay apps don't have this issue off of BMA but i was rather shocked. the bottom line is this app in particular still wont function even if obtained off of BMA
This is against the rules. Xda doesn't allow threads that deal with, or distribute warez ( paid stuff for free ). Please make an effort to read the xda rules
Reported
i should also add that other PAY apps i've obtained off of BMA haven't had this issue and this is the first i've run into. but it gave me serious pause for concern. should i expect more apps to follow suit in the future? if an app developer is aware of this and can simply make the app need the market license so it wont work if obtained from BMA so you have to pay for it from the play store anyway then i would expect at some point the BMA would just become completely useless and redundant
my apologies. i was under the impression that using BMA was in the same vein as rooting and apps that use SU perms. i'm quite sure that ad away which uses root SU perms would be just as frowned upon since it blocks ads from apps
No its not the same. Pirating payed for apps is not the same as blocking ads that no one clicks on anyway. You will find not help here on this. Thread closed.

whenever I try to download an app I get this message "your device isn't compatible with this version"
please take into consideration that this is my first android tablet
and I have very little technical expertise
also I don't know the technical jargon or terms used on this site
when I posted my Problem before I was shut down and redirected to another forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398788
which I gathered from the thread that apps in google playstore are not always accessible due to various countries terms and laws
I have used the search engine extensively, read every thread related to my issue and it confused me even more
the apps I need are vital it is life are death
they are Vlingo and Robin
how do I Work around this issue?
Maybe the message is true and the apps are really not compatible with your device
Anyway, there is a plugin for google chrome called apk downloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100617 I'm not sure whether it allows you to download apk files that aren't compatible with your device but it may be worth a try. But if the apps crash or just don't work, don't be surprised!
