Suggestion: u could create a poll so that users can vote which beter than the others

Most of these are third party apps that look for the apps you want in the google market and I know at least one of these, GoMarket is in Chinese? These are not alternate markets WTF

Most indeed are just an alternative interface to the normal market. The others are mostly manufacturer or operator specific versions.

Listen.....
I Just Added These Cause I Had'em Layin Around For A While,
& I Thought XDA's Members Might Enjoy'em, But Maybe NOT?????
I Still Have More, But I'm Not Sure If I Should Add'em To My Post?
Because.....
It Seems Certain People Rather Criticize "My Wording" (Alternate)
Rather Than Just Take Them,
For What They Are....
Another Location To Get Apps!!!
Whoever Liked The Apps?
If You Want More?
Let Me Know If It's Actually Worth My Time/Energy To Post The Rest??
If So.... I'll Do Just That!!
If Not.... Then My Bad For Even Post'n These!!!
Some People These Days, Are Just
"WAY TO SENSITIVE"
I Guess???
WTF......LOL???

Wow... I don't see any problem with posting this, but for real... why the heck do you type like that? I'd rather not read another post of yours formatted in such a way. It's not clever, and it doesn't make you look smart.
I do have to say one thing though. Anyone can make a list of programs, to provide people with something useful however.. that is another task. You give no information about these programs, you give no reference to the authors of these programs, you give no information about where to legitimately acquire these programs.. I would also doubt that all of these vendors want you distributing their software without permissions, even if they are available for free.
If you want people to view your posting as helpful, you may want to reconsider your approach. Format your text in a helpful and organized method (it's not a headline, or a title to a book). Include helpful and concise information about the applications. Provide links (at the very least) to the webpages associated with the applications. etc.

Thanks for posting these alternative markets. If you had a short description of them, I'd be much more willing to download.
And davied actually gave you constructive criticizm, no need to attack him.

Your Welcome...
There's Just A Certain Way To Say Things, To Say I'm Not Smart & Say I'm Basically Sh.t'n On Whoever Made The Apps, To Me Just Rubbed Me Wrong! Truth Is I've Downloaded Thousands Of Apps!!
I'm Not Trying To Intentionally Discredit The Developers, But In My Mind I'm Almost Doing Them A Favor, By Promoting Their Work!!
No Disrespect....
If Anyone Knows Who Developed These Apps PM Me, & I'll Be More Than Willing To Give Them 100% Of The Credit!!
Me, Myself....
In "NO" Way!!
Is Trying To Take or Receive Credit For Anything, Just Simply Shared A Few Apps, Never Realized It Would Turn Out So Controversial!!

I think daveid or whatever was mostly pointing out that the way you type is annoying and difficult to read, as in don't uppercase every word. Just say what you want to say.
On topic, thanks for this but I don't want to go downloading 16 apks and installing a bunch of things without knowing what they actually are... can anybody tell me what is worth my time that has tried these?

Hold on.....all sarcasm aside, im really curious.
you posted a lot of things here, and the way your OP makes it sound is that these apps (or "Market Alternatives" as you call them), offer apps that you cannot get on the android market. Is this correct? Or are these, in fact, just another place to get the same apps that are on the Android Market??

Let's ask this different; Have you tried some of the alternative markets? And did you stick to anyone of them?
I totally agree there are a lot of things that could be improved in the stock market, but I'm not going to try all the versions you've posted Can we cross some of the list?

a new keyboard

i was looking though the touch wiz sys dump and i liked the keyboard so i put it in an update format. Just flash it, i gurantee youll like it. If not just remove it. I included the lwp as well that were posted earlier the lwp from it too, they work great on the phone though, I need someone to test it for me, cus swype is a pain to remove w/o wiping, and i already have all this on my phone. you just need to flash it like a rom. It contains 4lwp and 1keyboard app and their libs...dl the new lwp and kb HERE ​
Any chance of just getting the KB?

thanks for testing it and the quick feedback. i stated that it included the lwps in the op. they are from the new touch wiz dump. Ill check to see whats up with swype, just figured id throw it out there for those that didnt see this stuff yet....also, did you remove your old swype completely? or did you not have it? cus its VERY hard to get rid of.....just wondering so i can fix if something wrong.

sorry about that, and thanks.ok, soon as i get home ill post a link to a really sweet htc skinned swype mod. i use the red one in my newest rom, but the green one is slick too. im going to hang out for a little bit, when i get back ill put it up, and just take it out of the other one and ill mess with it, since its a full version.....
Let me see if I can accurately decipher this thread:
You saw something you liked, but didn't test it because its too much work to uninstall what you already have but that's ok because you already have it installed so you need someone else to take a blind leap of faith and install something you "gurantee" they'll like but if they don't that's ok too because they can just uninstall it (which really they can't do easily) but if you want to see what it is in the first place tough luck because you're out and about and have no time to post a screenshot for your own quasi-release?
If I were Canadian, I'd add "Eh?" at the end of that.
I strongly recommend that if you want to be taken seriously, you put a little more thought into your release posts. I applaud you for taking the time to share with the community, but frivolous posting of root-level patches without some form of quality control on your part could lead to a dangerous precedent of buggy and/or malicious code being introduced in the same channels.
I know you probably have the communities best interest at heart, but holding yourself to a higher standard keeps the bar high for the rest of those issuing releases to demonstrate an aptitude for solid documentation so people know precisely what to expect from dedicated contributors.
Good Luck!

Do you really think i need YOU or ANYONE else to take ME seriously? my work speaks for itself, i could care less what you think of me, but just dont be disrespectful or snotty about it when you obviously have no clue as to what i do, if you say " which really they can't do easily" when you are speaking about removing a single app.I take it youve never been to dev? cus thats what ive been doing for the past 3 days, is working on my last rom. Then when i finish something that takes more than a day i take a break. I am not a developer nor have i ever claimed to be one.i have many contributions to the site,and taken a **** ton of time making sure my theads for them are maintained and everything i work on i support. Not a blind leap of faith, i have many pps that ASK to test for me because i dont have time to when im working. I have a 8mo old and fiance to take care of as well, this cannot be my ENTIRE life(though i might enjoy that)ive been asked permission to port 4 of my roms to other devices, and about 100 pps i talk to on a regular basis,you can talk to that will tell you another story about what I can DO. ? is what can YOU do? and WHY would you be ragging on someone who makes regular contributions to the site to help members enjoy their newest hardware just a little bit more? you want to see more go to hero-cdma and tell me some more about quality control. Search my name, check out a few of my mod threads both visually and contextually and then read what you just wrote one more time.....by the way, your a very good writer. You should be a reporter for national enquirer if you feel compelled to post again, can you please remain a little more on topic and a little less on me.....thanks

Thanks for this magnusragnarok! Any chance you could try to get an update zip with the t9 ime in the i9000 dump? I'm curious to see how the Sammy virtual keyboard looks. Also, that guy apparently doesn't realize how big of an asset you've been to the hero and evo communities. Keep up the great work!

If we were not allowed the choice we would not have it available to us.
If you took a moment to actually absorb what I posted, you would recognize I did not besmirch your contributions, but was offering a point of constructive criticism.
Regardless of the quality or lack thereof of your "releases", your posts are plagued with you getting into flame wars with people because you feel like you have to defend yourself against any form of critique you don't agree with.
But hey, if you have five people who think your work is on par with some of those that I have donated to, by all means cater to that denominator. I'll gladly keep my feedback to myself and save it for someone who can handle dialogue with a little more class.
PS: Geocities is dead. You should let the single-paragraph-don't-have-time-to-run-auto-spellcheck-let's-use-teal-this-time-on-large-comic-sans-font-smash-your-forehead-on-the-keyboard-to-select-punctation diatribes die with it.

I am helping you. I told you to use the search, which is going to help you a lot more than you think. Even browsing through these threads, I'm sure you see that a lot of these processes can be a bit extensive. And, especially when you ask vague questions like in the original post, no one can help because you're not saying anything specifically (WHICH launcher are you looking to change to? etc. etc.)
Get it? Gonna' use that search? Hope so.

I normally don't like this kind of answer but in this case i would have to agree with TJ, start from the beginning first, have the device rooted and flash your custom ROM then everything will come easier
These guys are just morons. In the time you guys wrote all that crap, you could have just answered his question or atleast guide him.
Even thought you can somewhat modify the appearance, and customize it to your linking, you will need to root your phone in order to modify certain elements.
For beginner I suggest you download a few apps that will allow you to do some minor tweeking. Here's a list of a few apps to start you off.
Launcher pro
Beautiful widgets
Pure calendar
Flickie
Switch pro

So we're morons because we didn't post a broad answer with suggestions of five different things like you? I think you should wisen up before you start slinging around insults that describe yourself more than anyone else.
There's an old saying that goes, "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for the night, but if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime."
THAT'S the mentality that goes into showing people the usefulness of the search tool. Unless it's something profound or newly developed by that particular person, odds are it's been discussed and can be found with the search tool.
You above just gave him tips to different kinds of launchers, and suggested things like rooting his phone, but didn't post any kinds of links to tutorials or downloads for the apps themselves... are you expecting him to SEARCH for these things himself or what?... exactly.
Get the **** outta' here with that **** guy.

I didn't give him a smart answer, and I not only respected him, but gave reasoning as to why I gave the answer that I did... in fact, the only person to be dissrespectful and give an answer that doesn't truly help is... well... you. LMFAO. IN fact, I think I called you out pretty in depth, and your response was a childish sentence with a "name" inserted. Get real. But, I guess you were "answering me with the best of your knowledge", so I shouldn't expect anything more, eh?
Anyways, have fun with the "flaming". I'm a bit too busy actually theming and trying to have something to contribute to really care about the petty. ;-)

[APP] Devine "We Fail" Promo

This is a promo app that plays Devine's 1st single, "We Fail" , off their first album titled "14 Steps to Stone"
: : : DEVINE : : :
Devine is an American heavy metal / Hard Rock Band blending elements of Rock, Hard Core, Metal, and Hip-Hop. However, this band is unique for more than just their sound but also in their peculiar arrangement. The band not only remains spread out over the United States but for nearly a year, and after a completed recording no one in the band had ever been in the same room!
for more to the story go to www.devineband.com
watch the music video here:

This is an awesome band I have been doing a lot of work with
This app was created in App Inventor because I have no idea what im doing but it does the job of letting people hear them and getting the word out lol
If anyone has a marketplace account and is willing to post this on the market for free then let me know!
Why would you bother to come on the Internet to post if your gonna hate?... {Edit: good to see the hateful post's deleted}
The basic principle of it is pretty great actually; I'd love to have a couple of my songs (per say) featured in a app that can be deleted, instead of having people download my song's & then have it get lost in their folders. They can delete it if they hate it with ease, or have a link in the app to your iTunes/Music page if they like it.
Everyone...
Just because a project here doesn't include you in the scope of people that it might be relevant to, that's no reason to come bashing those who created it or who are interested in it. If it's not for you, just move along....
oh god i'm embarrassed to have ever heard this

Can I just say that if you don't want feedback or opinions, constructive or otherwise, then a forum really isn't the place to be announcing your app.
I thought this forum was a place devs/users could gain feedback and discuss apps, if you aren't prepared to take the good with the bad then why post?

Because this is for people to offer constructive criticisms about the app, not needlessly hateful comments. Saying "this app sucks because i don't like the music" is not helpful in the slightest. We are supposed to be rating the app, not necessarily the music.
By the way, this is a brilliant idea for an app. I think NYGraFFit1 put it best

I was going to offer to throw it on the market for you, but I'm pretty sure you can't with AppInventor apps (I'm not sure, I'll look into it). I know you at least didn't used to be able to, but things may have changed.

That guy seemed to have put his app on the market somehow and he did his in app inventor too, so it is possible?

Let's get Google to clean up the Play Store

I just posted this over on r/Android, and I felt XDA would be a good place to put it as well. Recently, there have been a few apps that have been reported to Reddit so that we could get massive reports sent to Google and have the apps and developers removed. However, I felt this way would be a little more efficient. Please feel free to check out the comments over on that post as well as these, although I'm sure they will be roughly the same.
I'd include the link to the post on Reddit, but I haven't made enough posts on XDA to be allowed to include external links. Simply search 'Clean Up' in r/Android and click 'Sort By' > New, and it should pop up. Thanks for your time everyone, and I look forward to seeing whether this can be a success.
We are all aware that the Play Store sucks. Especially over the past couple of days. People are taking proactive steps to clean it up, but sooner or later, we are going to get sick of seeing these PSAs announcing all of the crap Devs. To counter this problem of constant posting to r/Android, I've created [email protected], as well as a Google Spreadsheet (check r/Android for links, I haven't posted enough here to include external links) to keep track of all of these apps that you guys help report for abusing the rules of the less knowledgable.
I'm sure a majority of you are more than easily capable of spotting these bad apps, but following are a few types of apps in particular that really irk me:
+Improve your WiFi!
+Fake or copy games like we've seen the last couple of days here
+All those blasted Gangnam Style photo booth and other knock-off type apps
+Emulators that are just absolutely and completely riddled with ads and are therefore unusable
+WiFi 'hackers'
+Jumping Boobs / Ass / other sex apps (c'mon guys, it's called pornhub or xvideos)
+Cell phone signal boosters
+Etc, etc... I'm sure you all know which apps to report here
So, if you guys think this is a good idea, please help everyone out by contributing the bad apps you find to [email protected] in the following format:
Developer Name:
Application Name:
Link to Application on Play Store:
Reason for Flagging ( Sexual content , Graphic violence, Hateful or abusive content, Harmful to device or data, Other objection):
If other, why?:
Every Saturday, I'll report back here with the spreadsheet, or you can just report them if you get board throughout the week, either way will work. I think this is a useful alternative to a separate subreddit, as I think creating would simply result in the same fate as many other 'sub'subreddits do.
I think this can be a really cool way to show Google how moderating their product can improve its quality, even if just ever so slightly. Let the moderation begin.
Sounds like a great idea. Looking forward to the growth of this.

Same here. Maybe even an app could come of it? That would be pretty sweet IMO.
Just to make sure, is this post in the right place? Also, am I replying correctly? My apologies if not, I'm an XDA posting n00b.
What a brilliant idea! Would love to help in getting those crap apps removed from Google Play!
Censorship sucks.

I vote free market. Let the people decide what apps to download.
I would love them cracking down on permissions as well some apps have crazy permissions.

I agree..
If people aren't smart enough to know which apps to avoid, they should learn the hard way..

Flipboard Air View feature

Just noticed that Flipboard uses the Air View option, in the home screen you can hover all over the topics and it gives you a preview of the articles, for me it's very cool, nice to see Samsung's features available on Third Parties apps.
And what you just had to make a stupid thread about it.....

I have always asked myself why on this great and other main forums, arrogant people that think themselves so above the rest, come to every thread to post a reply even more stupid than the one they critic.
This is first of all an informative forum, people come here to learn about their devices, so far I haven't seen anyone posting about it, so I came here to inform all of you about it, if you don't like it, just keep on moving, others may appreciate knowing about it.
That's all I have to say about your insult...
Unbelievable...
Good post, erasat.
The guy above just an idiot...I meant.. he was creating a thread on dropping the phone on concrete and was wondering about it.
Now that IS stupid!

All that dude does is go around posting pointless insults. And not in the "search first, noob" kind of way, but rather in the "I don't get enough attention and have to take out my lack of self esteem on internet forums" kind of way.
Best way to deal with people (and I use the term loosely) like that is to completely ignore them. Nothing pisses of someone trying to seem important or insulting than completely disregarding what they're saying. You can't reason with ignorance. But you can piss it off by ignoring it.

Lol, some people... good response OP.

Actually some of these "gimmicky" features, as some people refer to them, need highlighted. So, thanks OP--:0
And yes a few here take every opportunity to bash someone, they are on every Forum I have been on from day one. Just best not to respond. Playing Devil's advocate though, I do sometimes respond to those who want the step by step answer with no research on their own. Main reason I don't like that is that they are doing themselves a disservice by not learning the how and why things are done the way they are in flashing roms. It will come back to haunt them.
I actually use a number of these features and they work very well. Except :eye" scrolling. Hopefully that will be improved and hope app devs and Goolge allow more programs to use these features.
There are too many negative comments on these features here and in reviews along with the screen issue to cause people to hesitate buying this phone. So, these goodies need highlighted in these threads from time to time. It is absolutely a fantastic phone. Functional and Fun at the same time--
Best I have ever owned. Not that I didn't love my Nexus One and HTC One S, but technology just keeps producing better products. And 5 inch is perfect screen size for me.
I agree, good post. I have been trying to figure out how to use air view but it just won't work for me (tried it on the gallery). What other apps work with it?

I personally found this thread useful. I didn't know that airview worked with flipboard. Pretty cool!

It will work on Flip Board and Stock Calendar. Do you have it selected in Options?
Can't recall what others atm
EDIT: Oh, works on speed dial--hover over number and contact comes up. don't have to memorize my speed dials now--
Also, by accident had it work on Music Player. If you hover over the lower Next and Previous symbols it will tell you next/previous song. These are when Music player is full screen with Album Art.
