Hi,
I have been reading about Google's Openspot app these days and would like to give it a try, but apparently it's not available in my country yet. Would someone care to upload the .apk file?
By the way, do you guys know the reason for the geographical restriction? Being crowd-sourced, there should be no restricted data or reason not to use it just everywhere should there?
Open Spot
I was looking for that app too. Since I could not find it on the internet I faked a US provider and installed it from the market. And now I share it with people who don't have root.
Have fun. But I think nobody is actually using it ^^

This app is developed by volunteers at Google. It's not an "official" Project.

I would love to see someone with the new T-Mobile Garminfone pull out the apk and see if we can use it in our Incredibles. I would just love to see how it would work on a real powerhouse of a phone ;-)

Thanks for sharing =)
So anything you rip off another phone is illegal, how come we do it with alot of stuff on here... then again what do i care /ripriprip
The problem with this is that it's the map data mostly. When I was on Windows Mobile, we had the same problem with Microsoft Voice Command. Even though it came with most WM phones, you weren't aloud to share the .cab (equivalent to .apk) file for it. In fact, cooking roms with it was kinda frowned upon. The problem was the licensing, because Microsoft actually charged for the app, for the few phones that came without it (the manufacturer had the option to use it, I'm guessing they decided to just pay for it to have it come loaded). Even when TomTom came out with a "trial" for one specific WM phone, the cracked program wasn't allowed on XDA, even though cracking it just made it possible to use it on other phones...... You still had to buy the maps from TomTom for the phone..... It's all just a CYOA policy, and it's what makes sure XDA won't be shut down!
So I guess the question is: if I am able to find the.apk, would it work on my inc. Has there been any success stories?
It would certainly be interesting to find out. I remember someone in the past had made a GPS Phone based off Windows Mobile. I can't remember who offhand, but I'd think it would be more profitable for them to release the software for a reasonable price than to offer it only on their phone, which who knows how much they're really making off it. I mean it comes down to profit, but I'd think that considering my DInc came with built in Nav for free, and is a much better phone, why pay a premium for a phone with GPS, when you can get a better *phone* and add GPS software for a minimal cost (or use the FREE one included!). Just my thoughts though.....
I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before, I checked the forums and didn't find anything related to my question.
Before I left US for deployment 4 weeks ago, I was running stock 2.2 and have access to every app in the market, free or paid. Few days ago, I downloaded and installed the newest cognition mod and since then seems like I can't buy or get certain apps. Pandora radio, beautiful widgets, USAA bank app, etc are not available. I kept getting "the requested item could not be found" message. I can still download a lot of free apps but majority of the apps/themes and esspecially the paid apps that "we" XDA members used, are not available. Is it because I have a rooted phone or different location? I'm new to the android world so I'd appreciate any enlightenment. Thanks.
where are you? if youre out of the us then thats why. i live in australia and i cant get a lot of the apps that i see on here.

I'm near Australia, in the Philippines right now. I was thinking that might be it but I wasn't sure. Thanks!

It worked! Thanks so much!
btw, from my experience, Market Enabler doesn't always work. Whenever you're looking for an item which you can't find on the market, you can come to XDA and ask for the APK. someone might be able to download it for you.
cheers
Looking for the latest apk.
Yes i know it is in the market .... but for some peculiar reason it is not avaialble to my country so i cannot install it.
So any willing soul out there please share !

Basically it is a thread asking for a .apk for an app called "Listen", which is developed by Google
Web Market link here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.listen
Frankly speaking, I thought this thread would be a flame war on Android fragmentation or something similar...

It's not about fragmentation, it's simply that Google doesn't release all its apps in all countries. In fact, most software that falls in Media, Communication or Gaming tend to release in the US, UK, Europe, and after many moons, Asia (if ever).
Irritates me to no end...
I have around 15 alternate markets. Most are Asian markets. I was thinking of providing a download link to the zipped files of markets I have but I wanted to inquire first if providing a collection of markets available for download is against forum rule? I certainly dont want to get into trouble with the forum and or be banned, which is why I am asking before hand. Can anyone inform if this is okay to do?
I think the ones wich offer paid apps for free like applanet and blackmart are illegal and not allowed on the forum. But for example slide me market and amazon app store are okay.

I am aware of those particular moarkets and those are specifically for that reason not listed in the collection. Just a small list of what markets are in the collection:
GoAPK
G-Gee (Japanese Games only market)
HiAPK
159.com market
Gfan
Nduoa
StarAndroid
AppChina
3GYU
This isnt all of them, but do any of these markets break forum rules to anyones knowledge? Oh, and thank you for getting back to me on the first post.
sorry but i dont know anyone of these markets^^

I will give it 24 hours and if either no one lets me know on these or sooner if someone gives me the okay I will post the download link in the first post. It will be a zipped file, just extract using astro file explorer or root explerer (i use root explorer) and then you will have the apk for the markets.
Sounds good to me I'd like to have a look

So many markets, but can anyone say some REAL good stuff I would use it for? I mean aside from JP rpgs or so which I cant read, not sure what stuff I am missing out on?
So long as its not piracy markets, like forementioned I dont see what harm it could do.
Hii
i am someone who has ideas but is looking for someone with adequate experience in building ios apps to help me transform my idea into an application, i had multiple ideas and when i searched google, tried to find people to help me in my country, i found out that the cost if way high for a simple app, maybe because where i live is not a place for independent developers.
so some of my friends suggested that countries like india for example have many developers who may be willing to work with you with an affordable pricing, as i searched over the internet i found couple of companies that i already contacted.
the reason i came here is to find independent people, not companies, and i was wondering if anyone can help me or guide me through knowing if its possible to find independent people here or somewhere else.
thanks in advance :good:

Have you tried freelancer?
You might want to ask that question on iPhone-Developers. That site used to be part of xda in the past...
