Naming Applications on Android (and maybe others) - General Questions and Answers

I thought I read it on this board but now I cannot find it. It was something about a user taking the beta packages on here and then registering the name on the Android Market.
The post went on to say the user should register the name before posting the beta.
Do you have to be signed up as a developer before registering these names?
And if so, if I am paying a person to create the app, should I register myself and upload the app?
A few things come to mind - if I pay the developer and he uploads it, I won't have access to it or anything, right? But if I upload it and the developer puts some type of an Easter Egg or something, then I would be liable and Google would not allow me to upload any more apps?

[Q] What is the best way of finding an Android developer?

I am not sure where to find a developer for an app. I do not want to start harassing random people. I am looking for someone to develop an Android app that would give people access to docs that I have created and docs that I have the rights too. It would sort of be like a dropbox type app with the option to email, send to dropbox, download to phone etc.
I have looked into writing it myself, but I am in grad school and do not have the time. I am not going to into programming either, so it is not practical for me. I am looking to pay for the app.
I understand that everyone has a "great app" idea. That is why I am willing to pay so there is no loss for the developer. If it is a bust, it is my problem.
I am not sure how it would work, who services app after on market. Do I need to buy a server or do I upload my info somewhere? Any feedback would be appreciated.

[Req] Dummy App

Hello everybody, I'm fairly new (ghoster mostly) to this forum and yet I'm already making a request.
I've got a Dreamspark account with Microsoft since I'm a student right now, but I have no background in any type of coding. I'm registered with App Hub as a student developer, but I need an app to submit to them to get verified. Any crappy app works, but I just don't know the first thing about creating apps. After I get verified, I can get Mango beta from them legitimately rather than going through the side steps as some of you've posted here.
If anybody could make me a quick, easy app, I'd really appreciate it. I won't publish it or anything of course.
Thanks!
Why not look at the tutorial videos over here? -
http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Phone-7-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners
Within a video or two, you'll know how to build a "Hello World" application that you can submit to get your account validated.
Thanks for that, that was kinda interesting actually although minuscule. Thanks for the link!

Do not worry it does not. But if you do not believe me, here is the SOURCE code is made with beta AppInventor (http://beta.appinventor.mit.edu/)
View attachment Developer_Console.zip

			
				
believe me now?
sorry to sound truly negative but it is with best interest; but why would you be rfeleasing source code that is irrelevant to others to be able to check? if you are going to post a source code using a developement software thats minimally used to begin with? you might as well just make a simple layout, use buttons, and just load webviews to just load the mobile website for the developer console... as stupid as that may sound thats basically all i can truly think would be a good use for that because when its something as secure needed as the app developers developerconsole u will NEVER see too many people use random apps to access it, let alone using .shm and othe runknown file formats that dont open with notepad; so posting such soruce code is no use to any developer to "check for yourself" as it is still unccesable to the developers to check...
in other words basicly this topic should be marked as closed as there is no true way to check the legitmacy of this app and the codes submitted apon requested to see if its not malicious is irrelevant; as a google account hacking may be one thing; but a hacking to a developers console cannot be acceptible to other developers and thus why not many apps are made for the console as it just isnt trusted by other develoers to use unless it is really from "pub:Google inc." on google play

So for example, I use a different google account for google for play and store in the browser I'm not always logged accaunt with my App Maker wherefore I use this app because I do not have an extra logout. And I can only repeat it is not a hack app that would AppInventor with the impossible
Based on the screenshots it seems like the app is just a bunch of WebViews that load the mobile version of the Dev Console. That isn't much different from just loading the page in the browser....and there's the added security concern about stealing account credentials as someone pointed out earlier.
Also, if you're going to make your project open source, don't share a proprietary format. Share the raw java source code on Github.
If they tell me how happy ... in a normal app with eclipse but I knew this I did with AppInventor as I have already written ...

exactly! developers appericate when u "open source" to use a format we ALL can use and are comfortable with; i would prefeer even obfusticated java code that u need to route where all the things go thghen some random format they send out to use their program; but i have deminstrated to people in my local area that just because the app uses webviewsx it does not mean safe; there is still intents you can use to monitor keypresses in certain feilds (also why newer keyboard apps say they dont keep logs in their privacy notes because such things are known for keylogging)
and even if it is build in eclipse i dont feel i need to use an extention as he seems to make it sound like to just view it as i tried reading it in eclipse (as i removed notepad, wordpad, microsoft office so i can use eclipse on all documents) so even if i could see "the codes" why push your application to read the codes as even if u released the source, its still not readable without your extention program you made, and it may seem legitable to you as the developer (trust me on my app sms Tasks some things i do to it are questioned by some just for the fact its a sms-reciever client to control phones remotely with a pass phrase, u can see it in my sig for more details if u wanted further looks) but in regards to this not many people trust these things as you either need to use someone elses program to even read it, people dont trust random tools with little credits to it, and expecially when the app is sketchy and its logcats (and apk tool'd decompiled source codes when de-obfusticated) does show indeed this is WEBVIEWS but instead it also throws some exceptions, some exceteras, and a few more things then just loading a webview as it does, so im just saying that when you are doing stuff like these expecially something as secured needed as the developers console to release their apps, to release monitations, to make money and review statistics, not many people will trust a app to do so, and are even sketchy using mobile browsers to do so expecially from mobile internet (not wifi) as all networking is tracked from them and everything done on it even more then wifi-internet-compatible companies do even with VPN's and stuff theres some things that are truly not trusted in 3-rd party sources without true credibility, some people never trusted paypal in its early years due to it keeping logs of peoples creditcard information, social security information, and other details for tax-based incomes as even at its early times the encryptions used were minimal to what they have now
basicly if you read all the comments here, and all whats in them u will see that if you release the codes that made it, use it in a format we can all truly see and use as the sources u released are useless to debug or see its true credibility
Well said

[Q] Mod an APK

Here is what I want to do. I would like to mod the Netflix app to also have a Facebook login just like the web version. It sounds simple but I am sure it is much harder than I think it is. I tried myself but my knowledge is not sufficient to do so. Any help would be appreciated. When you login the regular way you don't see any friends recommendations and well I think it is something Netflix should consider doing. Any ideas?
It depends what the mobile client uses for authentication, if it's the same as the website then you can try adding it by decompiling the app and creating your own version of it. However it would be a bit of a challenge.
Before you start anything, just send them an email about it as well asking for it to be a feature.

I have decompiled the app but like I said Java is not my thing. If someone wants to take a look at it I will post it here. Looks like I got in way over my head on this one.
Watch the warez talk please. Thread cleaned of a couple posts concerning an app that hacks paid apps.
Thanks,

New GPS Spoofing App /w Built in Joystick

Hey all I have created a new GPS spoofing app called "Fake GPS Controller" available on Google Play. (can't post link due to new xda account registration, you'll have to search for it)
It has a built in floating joystick which allows you to directly control where you want to move (simulates walking or running). Also, it does NOT require "Mock Locations" to be activated in developer options if you are rooted and install it as a system app to the /system/priv-app folder.
Hopefully this doesn't run afoul of the forum rules, yes I'd like to get some attention for my app, but also some feedback, and discuss improvements.
I have 100 codes available for free download, I will post some below, and can post more or do some sort of BETA if there's interest. Lastly, please if you download it and you like, please rate the app favorably. Thanks!
Oh, one more thing, the app has issues with rubber banding location on some? newer phones (I think it's an Android Marshmallow issue). From my research I don't think this problem is specific to my app, it sounds like all the spoofing apps are having this problem. I'm actively looking for solutions to this problem and would love to fix this in my app. I've read posts suggesting disabling Fused Location provider but would like to find a more simple approach if there exists one that I can incorporate directly into the app..
