I want to play around with a open source game's source, just any free game is fine.
anyone know of any with some depth in terms of game mechanics?

thanks!
any others?
wow. are you asking if you can take other people's source code, add ads to it and sell it as your own?
...
I hope this thread gets closed and no more source code is provided to you.
no, im trying to test a ad platform
by that I mean, i am developing a advertising model, but i don't have a game to try it on.

Hi,
We have developed a new, effective licensing control system for Android called DroidActivator.
It's intended to block piracy and also gives you some interesting opportunities, as licensing your app with an annual renewal fee, apply a subscription model to sell features or contents, protect your app outside GooglePlay, acquire device data, track custom events and more.
It is an Open Source project licensed under LGPL.
You can take a look at the Google Code Project Page (code.google.com/p/droidactivator) and to the project web site ([www].droidactivator.org)
Hope it can help the community!
Have a nice day,
The DroidActivator developers team.
Not quite sure what the point of an open source anti-piracy app. It just allows people to tinker with it and thus bypass it.
A protection system should not rely on hiding its code to be effective.
Any protection can be defeated by a determined pirate.
It's just a matter of making life harder.

Isn't open source making it easier?
This is an interesting topic.
You are right lambstone: looking at the source can help you cracking the code.
But in my opinion, the point is in the targeted audience.
An open source protection would not be suited for the new angry-birds-whatever but it would be for your medium/high-priced business app.
We have just no technology to avoid piracy. If the app is interesting enough, the pirate will decompile the app, remove the protection, repackage it and share it on the web. In this scenario, if the pirate got helped by looking at the code or struggled a bit more on the binaries doesn't matter so much.
We are not willing to fight this kind of piracy. We just wanted to build a tool to help small software houses to fight "casual" piracy (folks who won't search for and use the crack, but won't hesitate violating the EULA in the absence of technical license protection mechanism) which represents the vast majority of piracy.

It cuts both ways: more people reviewing the code means that it can be made harder to crack.

DroidActivator anti-piracy system updated
DroidActivator, the Open Source anti-piracy system for Android, has been updated.
The backend now features searching in activations and events and generates activation codes automatically. The GUI has also been restyled using CSS.
If you are interested, have a look at the Google Code project page [code.google.com/p/droidactivator] or at DroidActivator's web site [3w.droidactivator.org]
Thank You,
DroidActivator's development team
Hi xda community.
this it my first post showing an interesant campaign.
We are four young developers trying to raise money so we can spend all our time building Ares4droid; an open source p2p client for Android that will get access to p2p ares galaxy network.
The Ares Galaxy source code is free so, we only have to code it on Android Platform. What we need is the time it takes to create a elegant mobile version of this software. We are all ready to work for six months totally focused on building Ares4droid. We want to spend all our time writing code to give you a great piece of software. We are going to release our code as free software so everyone can make Ares4droid even better.
Now, we give us any donation in money or promulgate the project idea with the facebook and twitter buttons placed into the project page, for more information about the project visit us.

thank you for read this post, and you can support us in the cause :highfive:
github.com/psaravan/JamsMusicPlayer
Jams is a free, powerful and elegant music player for Android. Jams used to be a trial/paid app on the Play Store. Due to my lack of adequate free time and other issues, I've decided that I can no longer provide the level of support and active development that paid users expect from a developer. Rather than letting Jams completely die off and abandoning my users, I've open sourced the app and hosted it on GitHub (see link above) to encourage other developers to potentially improve it, use it in their own personal projects, and re-release it to users.
I will still occasionally update this app based on my free time, but it will probably be beta quality code. If you are a developer who's interested in using Jams' current codebase, I encourage you to fork this repository and/or directly contribute to it. If you decide to launch your own fork of Jams on the Play Store, feel free to drop me a line so I can feature it on my GitHub page.
Just want to thank everyone who's supported Jams Music Player over the past year. It's been an awesome experience for me and I really enjoyed receiving feedback from everyone in this subreddit and elsewhere. The app has received a major UI overhaul over the past few weeks and I will be publishing the free version of the app on the Play Store in the next few weeks once I get any existing kinks ironed out. Hopefully I'll be able to find more time again in the near future to work on this app full-time.

Tl;dr: I no longer have enough free time to develop Jams in a way that justifies asking people to pay for it. The app is now open source and a free version will be released on Google Play in the next 3-4 weeks.
is ACEMUSIC is based on your code?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/complete-material-design-acemusic-t2904994
unable to find any mention but even whole UI is same as of your code
Yeap, that player is definitely based off my codebase. The developer did mention my name in the "Special Thanks" section of their post.

after thread block, he decided to add credit, now thread is reopened.
without any change in ui he is claiming to be Material design also...
Hi everyone,
We are a new marketplace for all kinds of mobile apps. If you are a mobile dev and want to sell your source codes then this is your opportunity! Thousands of developers are already in this market posting their projects so others can buy them and make their own app without starting from scratch! Even if you don´t know how to code you just have to do a different design and you are ready to submit it to the stores.
Come and discover more about us at appstycoons.com!
Best Regards
The developer for Graph 89, a graphing calculator emulator for Android, popular for its ability to reliably emulate a range of Texas Instruments' most common academic calculators is up for grabs. The developer used code from multiple open source projects and released the full, paid editions code in 2013. The emulator is very useful but is somewhat in need of a UI/UX update. Also, seeing the paid version eventually make it to the play store with regular updates again would be nice.
Now for the challenge.
Many users of tablets would love to see an application like this get floating app support. Nothing would be nicer than to be able to have a good ol ti-84/89 hovering on my screen when I didn't pack either in my bag that day. So if you have any experience with developing for android, please at least take a look. Maybe even pick it up on your spare time as a pet project!
This is to check user interest AND see interested developers speak up about picking up the project again, as well as just make everyone aware that the source is available and will need some documentation updates.
Source here:
https://bitbucket.org/dhashoandroid/graph89-paid
As I am NOT the author a s have never built this one from source, I can only really answer any related questions with "Look at the code, use Google, peruse the comments, or just buy the compiled version on the play store".
Play store link is NOT here because I would rather draw interest to the code and not send money in the direction of someone who isn't maintaining it anymore. Thanks and let's do this!
