[REQUEST] Widgets LIKE beautiful widgets, just free.

Do any exist?

Fancy Widget is like the big Sense-style clock called 'Beautiful Home'

Fancy Widgets. I have the version before they got the C&D from HTC.
PS: you don't have $.99? LOL Most apps are so cheap. Look for spare change, load it on a pre-paid Visa. You're good to go.

this. dude come on, or when you buy stuff, keep whatever change you get and keep it in an envelope titled "For Apps", borrow a friends visa, and pay them back for it.

Question.
You are paying for a smart phone correct?
Nuff said. You pay because nothing is really free, and
it supports the devs. I have no money (but) I donate if the app
is provided free and I use it and if you don't have money for apps
that's fine. Quality work should be paid for plain and simple
and you should learn to budget accordingly.

The market is not available in every country you know..
I have no problem paying for apps, most of them are cheap, but the market does not offer paid apps to my country..

You guys need to realise that not everyone lives in your country, and even those who live in a country where paid apps are available (like me) don't always have a credit card which works with Google Checkout.
So untill you can buy apps on the market with paypal or directly on your phone bill, many people are just unable to use any paid apps, no matter how cheap they are.

Hi from Germany,
this is the same problem that Sony had with their PSN before they inroduced the PSN card (prepaid card like Itunes). In Germany only 27% have a credit card and I would not get a credit card to buy an app for .99€.
My favourite pay methode is prepaid so I cannot spend hundred of euros in apps/music ^^

My free suggestion that is currently avalible in the market place is Weather Forecast&Clock Widget

Instead of telling the guy that .99 cents isnt too much, why dont you help him.
JimJam, I use fancy widgets and it works perfectly.
EDIT: Removed .apk, Wasn't aware it was banned here.

Not This.
If an app you are looking for isn't available via the market, but is *free*
the app (more than likely) is available via their website, or some other medium.
You can still donate almost anywhere in the world.
The way the market works is just like in real life.
if you don't like, want or use the app you paid for you get a refund plain and simple. -Just like a free app that asks politely for a donation if you enjoy the work (if the developers asks for it) I don't donate if the free app isn't going to be used/kept.
The OP was looking for an app that was told to C&D.
Not the *norm* I'd think.

How do you come to that conclusion form what the OP actually posted? They just asked for free widgets like Beautiful Widgets, not for any specific widget.
I thought this might be an interesting thread since it's quite a long hard slog through the market looking for widgets, even if you use a site like Androlib to make it easier.

[Q] [Req] Free Lockscreen Replacement App

Could someone make a free alternative to WidgetLocker? Preferably for the Evo.
I'm kinda surprised there isn't a good one out there. Just wondering if anyone had the know-how and time to make one.

dude, you seriously can't afford two dollars to support the creator? I mean it takes these guys a decent amount of time to create these apps, and they put effort into responding to forum feedback...c'mon, skip your morning coffee and say 'thank you'.

Yeah, it's a few bucks. WidgetLocker is top notch, especially with all of the awesome themes out there. If you don't have a credit card, you can use a Visa gift card with the Market/Google Checkout. When you get the card, read the info and find the website used to register the card. When you register the card, make sure you put the correct information as it will need to match your shipping info linked to Google. Then go to buy the app, put the card info and shipping info in the form, and voila! You can now support developers!
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)

Yeah, its a wonderful app. So 2 dollar is reasonable and worth it

I agree. Developing an app takes time and dedication. I say, 2 dollars for an app that good is a very great.deal.
You can opt for simple lock screen. It's.in the market.

Got Some Info this app is a scam

So it's a pyramid scheme, then? What does it do other than pay you to refer people (if it even does that)?

Not really a scheme. And its suppose to make paying easier with mobile. And if you don't believe that it pays you ill send you a screenshot of the transripcts on paypal

DON'T USE THIS!!! They already had this thing going on a few months ago.
When i say don't use it, i mean get that damn 5 dollars and another 5 for referring someone and get the hell out, because after that they require your credit card to give you the money. Which i, being stupid enough, trusted and did it and then fell into the credit card fraud. Got a call from my bank saying a bunch of transactions were being used in a state i didn't go to, cancelled it and nothing was lost.
I used it for about 10 bucks, and then after i had more money on clover, they require credit card, so then the scam starts.
If you don't believe me, go ahead you can do it, tell me how it goes. If you research this app "CLOVER" and the company behind it, you'll find it's not just me who got this credit card fraud.

{Off topic} Why do people pirate apps?

It really annoys the hell out of me when people like to do so called *cracking apps* when they don't even know that is. Cracking means modifying the source code illegally and using the app for free which would otherwise cost money. You ARE NOT cracking it. You are STEALING it. The developers are working day-night just to make couple of cents but you on the other hand pirating it.
Just go outside and have a deep thought about it. You are willing to spend $50 easily on shopping, whereas, you don't even pay a dime for all the hard work the dev do it for you. It is just stupid. If you found a dollar on the road you wouldn't pick it, but where it comes buying $1 app you google it day and night all day long. I am not a dev but I do understand how it's like. So please please for god's sake stop piracy.

Go go sopa! or not?

Its because they are cheap and don't understand or care that it takes a lot of time and money to develop apps.
In many cases of free apps I wish there was a way to donate to the developer as I hate using something for free that I feel I should pay for.

There is already an off topic thread, why did you create a new one? It's just cluttering up the forum, and unnecessary, since your subject is a small matter and not worth a thread.

Back when I was in school I used to get the cracked apps. Being cheap? No. No debit card nor would parents allow me to use their cards for purchase.

Don't think this is an issue in the large scale. I don't know anyone who would waste his time searching for a cracked app instead of paying one or two bucks for the few apps you want and need to pay for.

To test for a greater time than 15 mins would justify a bit of searching. PowerAMP got it right back in the day. Something like 2 weeks full version trial then you must purchase. Still the best buy I've had on Android.

If you really wanted the app, you would have got the free version. I am sure that you looked for something like " how to get paid apps for free?"

There no access to credit card nor charge cards or whatever cards. So they have to use cracked apps.

Maybe im wrong but i think that at a large scale it doesn't affect developers so much ..
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.

For me the situation is quite different.
I have been stealing apps (yea, i don't affraid to admit it, but im not brave of it). Then i decided to start buying them and supporting developers (bought Cerberus and couple other).
It's maybe my problem, but im affraid to provide my credit card numbers to websites such as google wallet to let them pull the money they want. The paypal here was solution, i could charge my paypal account, so they didn't knew anything about my credit card and it was safe. BUT then wild Google Wallet appeared and there's no such option. No money transfer, no transfer from paypal, i have to provide numbers on back of my credit card. If someone in google goes mad, with the provided cc numbers he can pull as much money as he want. I know it sounds riddiculous, but I like safety. I can't relly on their good will, that thay won't abuse it.
So i stopped buying apps, as there is no way to put money on my account.

I use cracked apps just to check if they are worth the money. I treat them as demo. If I like it I buy it.Cheers

I have no problem purchasing apps, but I do know that aside from the credit card issue, many games and apps just aren't available on playstore in many countries, these are great apps and games and I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be available everywhere, maybe we should look to the causes of many people's pirated apps.

I have to use Market ebabler, and droidVPN so I could view all of the apps on play store.
This is insane!
I've spand 100-200$ for android apps.
I'm with android since 1.5 back in 2009.
Some apps are simply overpriced and I have to find a solution does the app deserve the money, and for that reason I google it to find it for free, just for testing.

There are such things as prepaid credit cards. Just a hint. As an alternative some markets (not Google Play) accept also paypal etc.

Google Play with paypal, at least 20% of us will start buying apps.
I dont use many apps on my android, so buying few apps is not a problem for me. bank in in about RM10 ( 3USD+- ) on my account, and bought apps. Im a student thou. Other than that, I often buy iPad apps, even thou I jailbreak it. Jailbreak for me is only for tweaking. I even bought paid cydia apps. Same goes to my android, root/unknown source/s-off or what so ever, I dont support piracy.
Have the kaching to bought devices/gadgets but dont have the kaching to buy apps? what say you.

[Q] Brutally honest feedback about our Android Cash Advance App ProntoBux

Our Android cash app ProntoBux is picking up steam how can we increase our downloads past the 10,000 count quickly. What can we do? You can check it out by searching "ProntoBux" in the play store. Sorry I'm new and not able to post links yet. Any and every helpful advice/feedback will be highly appreciated.

For me, your app has no brand recognition, and you're asking for my financial institution information. I need to know you REALLY WELL before I start giving you that kind of info.

Just from the attached pictures, I have no idea what the app is for. Why does only $100 show up in the bank account when it appears $133 is billed to a phone bill? If I even understood the point of the app and I saw it would cost $33 to send every $100 I wouldn't look at the app again!

Thank you for your feedback! I really appreciate it. Do you think the fact that we are partners with one of the biggest financial institutions (Bank of America) carries no weight as far as gaining trust? What's your opinion as a user that hasn't tried our app.
