App for downloading apks? Alternative market? - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

Just wondering if anyone has heard of such a thing. With all of the issues with protected apps not showing in the market with some roms, it would be neat if there was an app like the Music downloaders, that let you search and download apks.
Some apps poof from market and it would be nice to have a quick way to find them.

Does SlideME work? I used that back in the vogue android days, but I haven't used it since.. That was just a different market app basically

See if any of these work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536317
I honestly don't know. My protected apps all work. And honestly the only times they haven't is because we were using developers roms. It's all fixed now though, and our official obviously won't have that problem.

Search the market for "APKtor." It's an app that'll let you add repositories filled with android apps. It's essentially Cydia for Android. As far as where to get your repositores, you'll need to figure that much out.

there a few others that i will not post here lol

Appbrain ...

Search google for an app called "black market"..
Then you will have to search for the right repositories.. If you download GMOB chat and go to the rooted users chat someone there will help you out..
*also in GMOB chat there is a room where there is nothing but posted apps, and a request room..

Don't want to steer the thread too far off topic, but is this true for all roms, or just certain ones. I haven't been able to spend much time on the forum the past few days, but if there's a complete fix for protected apps, I'll definitely set aside some time to seek it out...

i honestly havent dl'd anything from the market since my g1, cept to go grab linda and get acess to my sd right away...
anything the market can do, google can do better *singalong voice*
i understand the market is google, but i mean the search engine

fresh rom 2.0d.

Can anyone find Digital Clock Widget v1.8 in the marketplace? Says it's copy protected, but it's a free app. I have v1.7.6 and can't find it to update. Found a website with a zip of v1.8, but it's not signed. I signed it, but it won't install because it says it's missing classes.dex.
Also, flipz, is the market fix available as a standalone update? Currently running DCv2.05

Oh ****! APKtor is god!

Paid Apps Disappearing

So between flashes I started backing up my apps to the sd by using the AppControl app. Worked like a charm–no problems. So after flashing a new ROM, and installing the apps I had backed up, package installer had issue with a few, and said it couldnt install, even though they were apps I had on my previous system, and were fully paid for. So now im thinking, no problem, ill just go to the market and re-DL them...and this is where it gets strange, but the actual listing for the apps that I had problems with no longer show up in the market for me. I mean, they really dont show up. I have searched by name, scanned QR codes and went to the dev's other apps and went to the visit more apps link. Even stranger is that one of the apps that didnt install and is now gone (nesoid) is made by the same guy that made an app that did (Snesoid). When i go to view just his apps, Snesoid shows as installed, but I just get the listing for nesoid lite, no nesoid at all.
Any ideas?
The only thing i can think of is if you flashed an ADP1 which you cant see paid apps with.
On a side note i dont think this belongs in development more like QA
I'm having a similar but probably unrelated issue. I went to use I tweet! today only to notice its no longer installed on my phone. Neither is Hello IM, which I paid for. They show up as installed in the market, but when I open the market listing, both the open and uninstall buttons are greyed out.
I tried repairing the ext partition using the cyanogen recovery, no effect. Movies by flixster is also missing, and I'm sure there's probably more that I haven't noticed. These apps are not in the manage apps settings, so I can't uninstall them. I do have nesoid still, as well as many other paid apps.
I think my sdcard is just dying, but wonder if anyone else has experienced this as of late?

Anyone with the knowledge to help with this is going to be a dev type. Thats why I posted here.
If it was a problem with just the rom it should have been solved by flashing to a different version which i did. I have tried this on 2 versions of eclair and 1 donut.

[Q] Is there any way to remove deleted paid apps from the market download list?

Hello,
I recently did some house (phone) cleaning and dumped a few no longer used apps I had purchased form the market.
I see that while they are no longer installed on the phone, they continue to stay listed in the market download section listed as purchased. Is this normal or is something wrong with the way my phone is working?
If this is normal, is there any way to remove them or at least shift them all to the bottom of the list?
Thanks,
Scott
Using a rooted Droid2 deodexed running the latest 2.3.2
BTW - I've checked the other threads I found on this but never saw a clear answer. Besides, they were old (2009) unless I missed a more resent one.
bump bump bump
I believe its not possible.
this is perfectly normal and actually allows you to reinstall them at any time since well, you paid for them.
There is no way to remove them also from that list, you could ask google support about this they'll be your best bet.
I don't really see a use for this however, if you don't want them installed, then don't.
I am pretty sure I have seen such option in some tool. Unfortunately cannot remember. I will post of I find it

ehh some apps you may not want others to know you have...
when they show up in paid apps it kind of defeats the purpose because they show up there...
You can ask the developer to refund your purchase...

Nextbook Next7s Hacking

E-Fun's latest Android tablet is now on the shelf at BigLots. It's a $99 budget device running 4.0 ICS.
I tried to install Android Market (the easy way) and the app crashes. I take that means this tablet will require a little more work. Has anyone hacked it yet?
I am also interested in knowing how to get Gapps to work on this as well...just purchased mine on the 27th at Big Lots too for the $89.99 special, been trying all apk's with no luck..keeps on crashing when clicking it.
When I sent a note to E Fun asking if there were any plans to update and add Google support, the response was:
This is not an issue we can change. Like the majority of tablets on the market Google will not grant a licenses to use their app market. The tablets are designed to work with third party Android apps sites where you can still download Android apps, the only difference is it's from a different website.​
Of course I sent them a list of bunches of budget tablets that come with access...
I don't have the technical savvy to create the necessary mods -- but if anybody out there is interested, and there's anything I can do to assist, please let me know! With access to the google apps, this would be one sweet little tablet for the price!
I found this but it is for the next7 ...shouldn't be much different, or so I'd think...I will give it a try I suppose.

I'm pretty sure that was written for Gingerbread, not ICS. The last couple of posts kind of imply that it didn't work on the Next7S.
Your right...besides not finding the USB drives anywhere (as I cannot get the sdk's to work on it) I tried to uploading the files then install and cannot get some of the apks to install, like the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk & GoogleServicesFramework.apk all others installed fine. With no luck on keeping the market from crashing boo! I am sure someone will be able to come up with something in due time, I hope.
Look at freaktab.com - Finless Bob has cooked a rooted rom with Google app,Super user and /system mounted r/w.
The download includes all neccessary instructions, files and utility - including driver - for Next7s. There is one clarification that I think will help... To get into the download / flash mode you need to hold down on volume rocker so that BOTH (volume up | down)switches are activated.
Thanks SO MUCH Moonpie! This has worked! With no problems and coming from me I always flub up something but the directions were very nicely typed out.
Try this blissb2599, only problem I am having is quiet a bit of apps are not compatible like my banking ... facebook, but I have an apk for facebook, old version but works lol...
Great to here reddtessa! Sorry to hear about apps not working. Maybe there will be some tweaks in future.

It's days like this that I feel somewhat challenged... I'm not seeing the Next7S ROM. Would one of you kind people point me in the right direction? I'm sure it's staring me in the face, but I'm just not seeing it...
EDIT: Yup, it was right in front of my face. Got it, installed it. Loving it!
Glad you found it..took me a min as well to find.

In case anybody else is having a hard time it's here: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....Cream-Sandwich-Finless-ROM-1-2-Root-and-Gplay
Thanks for the link. I just picked up a 7s for my kid yesterday after the Next5 we got him originally quit working. I DLed the Play store APK and was like OMG-WTH every time it kicked us out. The Next5 came rooted (out of a sealed box) and had no issues with Google Play from a standard APK. If you guys have this working on the Next7s (YF031 serial) then I'll flash it.
One thing I find hysterical is on the box it states it is a Capacitive Screen, but my kid used his generic plastic stylus (intended for an older Nintendo DS) and it worked! I even tried a pencil eraser and it worked too. Does that make this a hybrid Capacitive/Resistive screen then?
****Update, I got clarification in the other thread on the two different versions of the rom. All is well, the tablet is now rooted, and is running Google Play on the Finless Rom. Very happy with how quick it was to do as well. Thanks again for the link!
Please help!

Android version of Appshopper etc?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know of an Android version of the type of App that allows you to make a list of apps that you are planning to buy, then notifies you of any price changes etc? There seems to be loads of options for this on iOS but I have not seen any on Android. The only one I ever found did not show 99% of the Market and seemed to be American.
I would love to be able to log a list of games I am interested in so that I don't forget to buy them when I have money available for games! Notifications of price changes aren't too important but would be nice - the main thing is not forgetting apps I am interested in.
I've got everything crossed one of you knows of such an app
Thanks!
First, this should be in the Q/A section, in my opinion.
Second, the only thing I've found REMOTELY similar to appshopper on Android is the website www.appbrain.com. I'm not sure if they have an app though.
EDIT: Actually they do have an app, this should be it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5hcHBzcG90LnN3aXNzY29kZW1vbmtleXMuYXBwcyJd
Bear in mind that Android market is not as neatly organized as Apple's AppStore so there is a huge amount of crap that pops out when you search for a concrete title.
I know iOS has that too, but at least Apple cuts SOME of that crap so you are not bothered with wallpapers and such stupid junk. Anyway, I'm not bashing at Android, I think as an Xperia Play user I can say I'm quite happy with what's on offer.
I just wish more iOS developers would consider it worthwhile to port their games.
Sorry for the rant
'Thanked' for your quick reply! That's brilliant, I'll download Appbrain and check it out.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section - this is the only one I use. Mods feel free to move this if need be.
Seems like a good app but unfortunately no 'favourites' or similar list to remember what you want to install. Any other ideas guys?
I've just discovered 'Best Apps Market' that lets you build a wish list of apps you are interested in. Looks good so far, worth picking up if you have been after what the OP describes. Please Thank me if you grab this!
I'm also looking for this. App Brain looked okay, but there's not way I'm creating an account with my Gmail or FB credentials.

Did you try AppSales?
AppZapp Beta
You could try AppZapp beta (search for it on Google Play, sorry I can't add links yet).
It's one of the better ones available for iOS devices but it looks like they're making it for Android now too!

anyone out there wanna help me out with a way to do this? ive tried the titaniumbackup feature, but i dont believe it works anymore. i also tried changing the signature, but i always seem to break the app.
ill add "Thanks" to anyone responding with advice, thanks!

Just turn off auto updating in the market and you won't get bugged.
The titanium feature works for me even on 4.4.
