New play store? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Sorry if I am behind the news if this has already been asked or brought up. Is there a new play store being released today? I restarted my phone and went on play and it's a very different theme. It's version 4.0.27. I just want to make sure before I buy an app with my password then find out it was malware.

Depending on rom, we've had this for like two weeks now. It's safe hombre

Lol that's what I thought. I'm on clean rom also. And damn I hate this new store!

I guess I'm the only one that loves the new one? It looks and acts like the old Android Market and I always liked it much better than the Play Store. The fact that it doesn't take you to a dead end screen when you install something is enough reason to like it.

Been loving the new theme of the play store since it takes after the old marketplace vs the new.

10 cent apps

If you didnt know.. There is a sale on the market . Ever day there are 10 apps for 10 cents each.
Today there is "swipe it" and "HD widgets" on there .
They are both awesome apps and well worth the $.10
Get them before they go back to full price!

It's an awesome event that Google is doing! Only downside I have seen alot of "repeat" apps so to speak. This is the 3rd of 4th time I've BW on the market for $.10.
Yeah they have the ad up on the main page of the market. I have done a couple and I agree there are repeats!!
Sent from my Rezound
Ya the repeats defeat the purpose kinda.. I have purchased almost all the apps so far. Can't beat the price lol.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
yeah they keep giving us repeat apps & crap no one wants anyway.
so far the only cool thing i got was a game called Sentinel 3. freakin' addicting as hell

Yeah Sentinel 3is great! I also bought the Captain America game.
SwiftKey x. That's all.

Does Swift Key X support a Swype-style method of input?
I really like the theming and appearance of the Swift Key X keyboard, but I've been spoiled by Swype's ease of use.
i downloaded that paper camera, its pretty slick . makes neat facebook pictures lol
They're trying hard to sell some if these lol.
Sent from a Rezound, crappie camera included.
Grabbed SlideIT keyboard and ADW Launcher Ex a few days back. Not liking SlideIT so I'm going for SwiftKey
nope, swiftkey doesn't use swiping...slideit does though but that deals over lol

screw it, i'm just gonna edit my build.prop on my rooted inc and buy it, just so i can try to get it to work.
lol, so i tricked my inc into thinking its the galaxy s or whatever, so i got the game, downloading now...
i put the APK on the rezound..try to install..goes to download game data and says "your device is not compatible, please request a refund."
haha so annoying. i'm not rooting just for this stupid game, but i'm not getting a refund...eventually the game will work on this phone haha
anyone have any thoughts to bypass this w/o being rooted?
I had managed to get Order and Chaos running on my Rezound a while back, and it was running perfectly. Since then they have updated and it no longer works. Gameloft really needs to get their act together, they are leaving a TON of money on the table.

Huge App Store Sale - .49 cent Games

Just a quick note: There's a big sale on Android games in the app store including heavy hitters like Dead Space, Shadowgun and Need for Speed - all for .49 cents!
Great list building at Android Central - http://www.androidcentral.com/bunch-apps-sale-today-49-cents
Definitely a nice opp to load your new Note up on games and show off what you can do with the gorgeous screen.
Here is the link for all the apps on sale:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/collection/promotion_2012_03_06_AppsFavorites
Thanks for the link. I have most of these games on iOS and this is better than playing full price for the same game
Awesome, thanks OP. I love catching these sales on apps, especially when there are ones that little ones will like such as the TRex one.
And I just bought shadow gun yesterday!
Ahh well

Anywhere between 99 cents and up on some of them. The link I provided above takes you to the exact page in the market that lists all ups selling for this price.
Best couple bucks I've spent in a long time.
Thanks OP. Almost makes me mad to look at because I've spent close to $15 on this list in the past two weeks. Still found two to snag, though

This sale is awesome. Just in time for all us new Note owners. Bought Dead Space, mSecure, Pocket League Story and Where's My Water. Already had Osmos and World of Goo from the Humble Bundle.
Edit: Even bought the .25 cent book. Read the sample and it was ok.
I bought almost all of the apps. My CC company called to make sure they weren't fraudulent charges...

I think its NOVA 2, although now if you update your market app to the Play app you can see them all on the front page.
Glad some people found it helpful. The sale is going on for 7 days and includes movies, books and music so keep checking.

It's not showing on my Note but it started showing for on the website for me. It seems like it was added after the first batch of games.
Only apps compatible with the note will show up in the market on the note. NOVA 2 and Asphalt 6 and some other games dont work on the note

New android market

Did anyone else's market update to play store.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Yep its being pushed out as of today.

yeah wtf is this crap? The icon looks like someone took a dump on my home screen.
edit: actually it isn't that bad but the name is bad. Android Store or Google Store would have been better
Personally I think that Sony is going to take issue with it since it is so close to Playstation Store.

I'm just mad that now Google music has changed to "Play Music" in my app drawer. Threw me all out of whack. And the new icons are not appealing, I agree.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Lots of bad feedback on the icons and name change on most of the forums. I bet google changes it eventually.
Why is Need for Speed not compatible with our phones again? I have the demo version on my stock Rezound...makes zero sense. For that matter why are so many games not Rezound supported? Yet they are compatible with my Mytouch 4G that I no longer own?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
awful, AWFUL name. seriously, these "marketing geniuses" are a bunch of idiots. why didn't they just rename it to Google Market and be done with it? Google Play? what the hell is that? some 12 year olds toy? market is much more of a mature sounding name.
i'd hate to tell my customers, "oh sign up for google now so you can get into Google Play!"
no.

Are there no other phones with the same resolution/screen size on the market? I'm extremely disappointed at the support our phone receives. Does the Vivid have poor support too?

There aren't too many phones on the market with a 720p screen if I'm thinking correctly.

Love the phone, don't get me wrong but does it feel to anyone else like we're kinda overlooked in general. The hype was huge but it feels like when I got my myTouch 3G Slide. The hardware was wonderful and was pretty solid. Then the Vibrant was released 2 weeks later. The Slide got overshadowed and forgotten. Did they ever get an official 2.2 update?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Just got my update 10 mins ago. Name definitely sounds dumb and so is the icon.
I got the new version and the first thing I did was change the icon and remove the label. Now it's like old days. Ahhh, yesterday.

Max Payne Mobile

Anybody here played Max Payne yet? Seen some gameplay on Youtube and looked pretty good so was thinking of trying it out. Just wanted to see if anybody had any insight. Thanks
Not too far into it yet but so far its one of the best I've played on android device. The controls are good and graphics are nice too. When I bought it it was $3--TOTALLY worth it.

Yeah I get the same thing but still its an awesome game.
Has anyone been able to pair with a Wiimote? I don't see any options for it but the description says some Bluetooth wireless pads supported.
I emailed Google and rockstar about it being removed from market with this phone. **** them I flipped out, bad, really bad. I'm sick of just being one of the lucky ones that bought the game early. I purposely checked my phone every hr in the middle of the night when it got released. Only because when Gta 3 came out I had the eVo 3d than and if I didn't get Gta 3 within the first 12 hrs of it coming out I wouldn't have been able to get it at all unless I did a Lil search and downloaded a pirated copy. Now I have no problem downloading what I want when I want. Don't care about Warez, don't ****in care at all. I don't do it on xda nor will I ever. But I have no problem downloading something that I can't purchase cause I'm simply denied. Snes ROms, and playstation and all that, I don't consider that stealing at all cause the roms are not available for download for use in emulators. If they were I would buy them to support the devs, like I am more than happy to support rockstar. But if Google or Sony or rockstar or any other digital/electronic company try to **** me like this, I'll just **** you right back.
Well anyways sorry for the rant but the point is I let both companies know this is ridiculous. The game runs flawlessly on this phone with the graphics maxed out, no reason to deny us. I wont send U my apk, so don't ask, but just Google it. **** them, they are practically asking you to steal it but not making it available for no reason. I paid for my ****, so when their is an update for Max Payne and I can't update for this same reason, I'll be doing be doing same thing and googling it.

The point that they should be understanding is not everyone is a tech dork like here in xda, (me especially) and most people will never know anything like that. It just makes something else to maintain.

...Learn. You don't have to be tech savy to change the build.prop. If you actually went into the thread it tells you step by step to do it. My baby cousin that's 4 years old can do that. Quit *****ing and man the **** up

I have been playing that game for about a week now,the graphics are amazing on the lte,seems like 50-60fps.although I do get the usuall static when in the cut scenes,at first I thought I blew my brand spankin New lte speaker. The gameplay is actually addicting for me anyways.
I downloaded max payne and i hate the game the graphics are horrible i suggest if you like that style of game download gamelot 9mm ,it's almost the same concept but with better controls and graphics plus the story ain't that bad either.
Sent from my EVO using XDA Premium App
Lol, I know all about these phones and I live on xda basically. And yeah ya do have to be tech savvy to do all this. It's actually a lot of work to keep up with how fast things move on xdaand with these phones. I have no problem changing the build prop, but expecting normal people to is ridiculous. Trust me my cousin isn't stupid, but he also isn't a dork. Normal people barely know their way around a file explorer. The majority of the public still don't even understand how to get music on their phone. I know I know, I too think it is retardedly easy to copy n paste music but look at all the stupid questions noobs ask on xda. Pretty much every stupid question I see on here I restrain myself from typing please learn how to ****in search n read.
And don't come at me like I'm one of these tarts, I'm just sticking up for some of the less tech savvy. I wasn't flipping out on anyone here. I let the appropriate parties aware that it is a joke to keep blocking devices after people have paid their own money for said app and that it runs perfectly fine.
And this game runs great, especially with a ps3 controller.

i mean i can't post warez, but i have a max payne that works perfectly, if u want the link pm i guess, but it's pretty easy to find
