Hello All,
I am a PhD student and as part of my rearch I have developed (still developing) an application to collect usage statistics from mobile devices to build a usage profile using Machine Learning Algorithms.
Since I am new to android developemnt, my application is still not perfect and I need help from some devs here at XDA to iron out few design issues that I have.
Additionaly I need few testers, who can help me in the study. I need the use their mobile device usage data.
NO personally identifiable data is/will be collected.
The features being collected at the moment include the following.
Number and duration of Calls sent to contacts/non-contacts
Number of sms sent/freceived to contacts/non-contacts
CPU usage
RAM Usage
Number of bytes of Data Traffic transferred/received
Number of user/system application and services running on the device.
I will share my code and application here, if any dev/tester wants to help me.
Kind Regards

Hi everybody!
I am a developer and want to monetize my app.
Can you advice me ad networks? or other ways to do that?
Thank you so much!
2 ways
There are two main ways to make money from mobile app.
One: you create an app and charge people for using it. You decide they should pay you through app purchase or in-app purchase. People usually don't buy an app unless it's very popular. So I suggest you offer in-app purchase. You can let them use one part of the app free (to make them like it) and pay money to use the app completely.
Two: you create a free app and allow advertisers to put their ad in your app. You and advertisers will work through a mediate platform. I have used 3 mobile ad platform: Admob, StartApp, Adsota. And I recommend Adsota & Admob. StartApp is ok but the 2 other two just work better for me,
In case you want to show video ads, instead of banners/pictures. I heard that AdColony is great for video advertising. But haven't used it myself yet.
We are living in 2015, so now free-app model much more popular, then paid
Admob + In-app purchases is the best way, I suppose
In XDA, there is a thread "how to monetize your android application". that is to tell you how to monetize your application. that worth you to read if you want to make money from App.
3 ways is minimum
You should cover all users. Some can pay, some can watch video to get some features in your app, other can see banner or other static ads. The main thing is your app's quality. Good luck!
I would recommend adding ads to your app and create a version that users can buy to remove the ads, win win situation
An amazing website!

Hello! There are many sites like admob.
You should try to promote your app using companies like "Waypedia". They even make a marketing strategy for your app!
Work on building brand awareness by making profiles in the social networks, set up a website, use Google Adwards, create a blog for the user, etc.
best is admob

Hi there!
There are a bunch of ad networks that are doing pretty good job. But have you consider to work with multiple ad networks at the same time? One way should be signing up on each ad network a be sure that you don't miss any possible and potential revenue. But there's an intelligent way to do that, this is, trying Programmatic Mediation. There are few good companies like Fyber, Sueprsonic or Appodeal, the one I am using and the one I am completely satisfied.
Whatever you choose, the advantages are clear:
- 1 sign up, 1 SDk all the market
- Higher incomes because they operate globally
- Higher fillrate because the pool of advertisers is the biggest, because you will work with all of them
- Because everythiong in Mediation is programmatic you will have more time to focus on developing than managing your ad inventory
- Probably your earning will boost
Ping me if I can help you by providing more info
Cheers!
Tips for making money from app -
1.The Freemium Upsell. This requires having a second version of your app that's paid
2.In-App Purchases
3.Ads
4.CPI Networks (Cost Per Install)
5.Sponsorship.
App monetization
Hi!
As many have said, the main ways of making money for your app are : adding IAP and work with ad networks. Our company has recently launched a FREE WiFI SDK for developers-this SDK will help you both increase user retention and ad revenue as we work with some ad networks. If you are interested in integrating the SDK, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or check out WeShare WiFi SDK.
We'd love to hear from you and help your app grow
Cheers!

I would like to monetize my app thanks to Admob, mMedia or Inmobi. Advantages and drawbacks of these mediate platforms?

It also depends on your app - what does it do?
If it's a game with somewhat fast level clearing(~1-3 minutes), you could add an interstiital every 3 levels or so.
Add a top/bottom banner and an in-app purchase to remove them completely.
For games you can also reward in-game coins for the user if they watch a video ad. Think there was an article regarding this -> and it was the least intrusive ad, most people would watch a video ad if they got some sort of in-game reward.

Different monetization models for mobile apps:
Premium: users pay to have access the app.
Freemium: there is a "free" limited version of the app for the users to test before they decide to get the full version.
Subscriptions: payments are made weekly/monthly/yearly.
In-app advertising: keeps the app free to play, developers profit implementing ads in different formats (banner, native, videos, interstitials, etc.)
In-app purchases: users need to pay to have access to certain elements or special features of the app. But the app itself is still free.
All of these models can be combined. Experienced developers have had good results mixing in-app ads with in-app purchases.
The most popular monetization model is in-app ads (free to play). To implements this model in your app you can choose an ad network, or go with mediation.
I would say mediation is the best you can do, since it makes several ad networks compete in real time, so you can get the highest paying bid. Try Appodeal! You can integrate various ad networks in one stable SDK. And with the help of their 24/7 support team, installing it in your app should be fast and easy.
Here is a brilliant app idea, i want to share among community. Because after some research, i didnt find any similar app in google play and found it interesting to share this app idea among xda community.
Actually i was looking for a app which can share wifi at public places for free but in different way as follows.
So, I have some mobile data left for today and my data will renew after few hours. So what if i can share my data and get some credit for shared data from that user A/c.
So i ll open wifi share app in my phone and anyone having installed that app can use my shared wifi. But here he need to have some credits for free wifi access.
Developer can give option to convert credit into cash or other way exchange.
So, when i go next time at public place, i can find many free wifi open.
App features:
- authenticate the user to grant access to free wifi
- credit is reduced once user is connected
- conversation rate may be 1 MB = 1 credit
- user can convert excess credit to real cash or can use credit to access for next when they visit public place.
- shows no of user on particular wifi & bandwidth and usage limit
So, finally user can exchange wifi through the comman app.
What is your opinion with regards to this idea ?
I had a slightly similar idea as you have for the app. But I'm just a novice programmer and it was quite difficult for me to implement it. In the course of development I have all the time there were problems and bugs. I thought about hiring professional programmers because I saw the future success of the application and the fact that it should at least pay off. But since I was still studying, I didn't have a full-time job and couldn't pay for programmers, and my parents and friends didn't really believe in my idea. It's good that these guys paydayinusa they believed in me and I was able to finally implement my project. So guys never give up and go for your goals.
Hello,
Already for 6 months we are successfully working on the new way of monetization and Ad-less UX of websites with the help of mining in the browser. At the request of our partners, we have developed SDK for mining in Android mobile applications.
The kit allows easily to embed the miner in the application. The code of the miner is specially optimized for the android devices CPU for more effective mining
We will be glad to free share our developments of SDK for Android. If you want to join our beta test - welcome. Leave a message or your questions in this thread.
Android In-App VS Website Mining
The Mineralt team run tests and came to an interesting conclusion that the same mobile device CPU shows a larger hashrate, if it uses Mineralt Android SDK. In other words, monetization of mobile applications on Android with the mining is more profitable than monetization of sites and their mobile audience.
You can see results in our blog https:// mineralt.io/blog/why-is-it-more-profitable-to-use-mobile-miner-android-sdk/
