Or end up with a market full of countless pointless "pictures of <insert celebrity here>" and wrappers around webpages the browser fully supports. Oh, wait, we already have that.
Saw that on lifehacker earlier and i agree with what some people said; hopefully google will come up with a way to filter out garbage apps. We have enough already lol and with this, they're gonna be even easier to make
Can't wait to try it out tho

As soon as they implement a way to block apps in the market from certain makers, that won't be an issue.
Here is the link to sign up....

Use Appbrain.com to search though and install apps from the Market.
They have a very solid search filter for weeding out the wheat from the chaff.
And with this "development" application, we're going to be totally buried in mounds of chaff.

I was just gonna say that. Appbrain is a really good market tool.
Thanks for the appbrain suggestion. I wouldn't have found half of these using the market on my phone.

I hadn't even read this thread today and was searching for some stuff yesterday and came across appbrain and made a thread about it. I really dig it.
this is pretty cool!

The purpose of this thread is for people to share their protected .apks of apps that cannot be found FOR FREE in the Fresh 2.0 Android Market. Some free apps like Google Goggles are copy protected, so they will not appear. Please keep your posts simple--post a request, share an app, or provide feedback on posted apps. I will try to keep the first post updated with all of the .apks!

Hopefully not. So long as they're free apps. I mean... this is a temporary fix until Protected Apps access is restored.

No, you're good. Others have requested a thread like this...and it is a good thing that you did this! Many will come here to get what they can not get in the market....and they won't have to fish through 100+ pages of comments.
Some people just don't like new threads.
**Side Note** Anyone try out google goggles yet? Good stuff?
Does someone have the USAA app?

Sorry, but that is a paid app.
@TheBiles
Great idea, but maybe opening a 4shared account and giving a link in the first post is a better way to handle it. It would be great if you could maintain it, and have those fulfilling the requests mail you a copy of the apk(s) for inclusion.
Use this thread as a request thread. That way, if anyone want's to cause a fuss, xda has no involvement, and you can be the final judge on what you think is "free" enough to place in your repository. As it stands now, If I were to upload a paid application in the thread, it appears as if you and xda condone it.
P.S. - I'd pull SprintTV and Nav. Posting them in a Sprint Hero specific ROM is one thing, but this way you're making them available to anyone on any carrier with any phone.

Thanks for the advice. I will just upload all of the files to my own web host tomorrow morning and get this going as a request thread, but for the night at least I need some rest. Keep the requests coming, and attach any "protected" apps that you have, and I will download them myself and re-upload them.

Ah, I guess there are two different apps with "FX" and "camera" in them.
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!
I'm looking for a .apk Manager.
Not for one on my phone, or to organize the apps on my phone.
What I'm looking for is a Windows application, Win7 64bit compatible, that will organize my 4.7gb worth of .apk's i have on my computer. Ideally, automatically detecting version numbers, and removing old versions of the same app etc.
Good idea, I just use appbrain on my phone.
ps: change the title to [REQ] as there is no app in here.
Sounds like someone had fun downloading a lot of apps?

<smirk> links are not allowed on here for that sort of thing, but sufficed to say, i use two websites to <cough> obtain <cough> my apps.
Of that 4.7gb of .apk's I'm sure at least 30-40% of that (hell quite possibly more) is outdated versions. Just too much hassle to manually sort through them all.

I am just after a widget that lets me enter my own text, maybe select some basic formatting options and that's it. I want to have some little headings on my different home screens.
nice idea. something that looks like stock froyo would be great. something skinnable would be better.

Not sure if you'll be able to hear me up there on your high horse, but for your information I searched for 'text widget' on AppBrain (cos I have very poor connection on my phone at work) and nothing relevant came up.

I can hear an irritating squeak.
"text widget" was the exact search string I used to return the results... perhaps it's a different market?

I think so, see for yourself http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=text+widget
Pwnd, thread lock in 5..4..3....jk but try searching on cyrket next time I find it to be more accurate
Cyrket/androlib are market front ends, appbrain is not. Appbrain filters out the junk..
So if looking for a real market then appbrain is indeed not what your looking for
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
While Appbrain does filter it doesn't completely remove apps from view it just makes them much less prominent if they are assesed to be junk. Have a look at this search http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=woman
You can see how most of these results have been filtered, doesn't stop them being viewable or installable if you really want to.
Indeed if you search for textwidget as one word http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=textwidget you do get the app suggested above, so it's not filtered out
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.

Privacy issues.
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!
