how to get google play books for free - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i figured since you can get paid apps for free by downloading the latest apk and stuff, you might could do the same for books. i can get the .pdf file and use aldiko to read them (unfortunatley that and a few other formats dont work on play books), but i prefer the play books app instead. more fun to use ya know? so is there a format (like .apk for apps) that google play books come in?

Apk is just a file format, it has nothing to do with paid apps. & this is a developer site you won't find anything pirate here.

This is a website for developing not for stealing. Developing does not mean hacking just your phone is running an unassigned official firmware does not make it hacked as you can call it. You can see we all pay for stuff, you don't see Adam Outler jacking phones to make reviews and such. Lol

I guess he thinks all apks are paid apks, so if you ask someone for an apk, then you are clearly pirating.
Seeing this kind of ignorance is exciting for me. After all, he's not a noob, he has over 300 posts.

good response. Keep it up
I'm using forum runner. There are two different versions one free the other paid. The free app only allows limited functionality. (You can only read the forum, no posting, no PM's, Can't log in, etc.) The paid app on the other hand is $1.99 and you get full functionality. Overall I like it the best because I'm a member of several other forums that are supported by forum runner and I can stay logged in all in one place.
Thanks.. Its limited functionality is a bit too limited..
I'll continue to use convo then..

Yup - its got a few little differences though - like the app menu icon on the right hand side which you dont seem to be able to move.
obviously other alternatives are apex/nova etc.

Let's Golf 2 apk

Due to the lack of a computer, I would like to see if someone can get the let's golf 2 APK that is on the stock gb that the phone comes with and post it here for me? I bought it cause I liked it and want it back but can't find it on the market anywhere.

XDA rules prohibit warez and claiming copyright to a work not yours. This is neither.
But redistribution of software depends on the source of the material and its terms & conditions of fair use and/or license. It is likely that the demo apk is Verizon exclusive and not on the Play Store because of that. Just because something is free does not waive rights to copyright and control over distribution methods.
That said, it's free. This is a Rezound forum. Verizon won't care if it is posted here. The game developer can only profit if more people try the demo.
Now stop being silly and go play a real game like Pokémon or something.
It is probably in the stock rooted GB roms that are floating around. (Not debloated, just stock rooted)

It has always been XDA-Developer's policy not to discuss details regarding members publicly, but common sense should tell you it was not something that would have happened without a very good reason.
You're also posting on a private forum that was founded from the Netherlands, freedom of speech has nothing to do it with.
This is your second thread about this, do not create another one.

Newtoroot's Sense 5.0 thread closed? =[

I'm guessing it had to do with the agreement between HTC and XDA about early releases, infringement, etc.
Boo...!! (Although I understand.. Just a little disappointed because Newt was doing such a great job.)
What now?

Its a fine line we walk on here. In one hand HTC says we are going to make a developer phone. In the other hand they say Sense is closed source. Then with one of their feet they open HTCDEV.com .. its very confusing. HTC wants to be open but they want to protect there stuff too. Personally I don't blame them, I just want it to be fare.
It's not about HTC don't worry the thread will be open soon

When HTC is after you for copyright infringement, you would know.
They probably would notify him directly instead of through a moderator of an online forum.
