[Q] what´s the best money manager free and pay app for android 1.5 (im still stocked) ???
i don't have much experience with money tracking applications, but I am also looking for a good one, free or paid. Now I am playing with 'daily money'.
so, up, anybody else can give us some feedback on such apps?
Just to be sure, you are talking about keeping track of your spending, yeah?
I have been using Expensify. It allows you to manage your spending via web or your Android app.
For their Android app, you only able to enter your spending. While their web app allows you to manage them and view your spending in form of graphs.
honestly speaking i do not have that much of money so that i need money manger to maintain it.
I've been liking Pageonce. syncs with bank account and your bills due to keep track of your spending and when to pay what. Has push notifications too to remind you, but those haven't worked quite as well as I'd like so far.
For me without any doubt Easy Money
i m using expense manager its a free app for my droid. its very simple
scenario:
I wanna swap phones with my wife. BUT still share the apps that I bought under my gmail account.
on iOS, I can still share apps I bought but keep my contacts/iMessage separate as iCloud and appstore login are different parts of the OS.
Seems in Google ecosystem, it's either I share both my account and the apps I paid for? I know I can unticked "sync contacts" in the Google account setting on the phone. But it's easy to tick it again. I just want to install the apps and then have it updated automatically.
Thanks
ps. did search the net but nothing came up
You have to link the account you bought the apps on to the device. Its the only way to do this. If you untick the other sync options then contacts etc don't get synced. Thats the best you can do

Why? If you pay for an app on your device, why should you have the right to stick it on someone else's device just because you feel like it?
What they need to make easier is the ability to migrate your entire user account to a new one and keep all your settings, purchased apps etc as that is, currently, not possible.

I'm not talking about just anyone though. I can install apps I paid for on my son's and wife's ipad. He likes this music app I have on the ipad/4s. I bought a $200 app for my son 2 weeks ago. I would be VERY VERY annoyed if I need to buy it again just because I need to install it on the wife's ipad.
BUT I guess Apple allows a person to install an app on multiple devices that I manage (we got various iOS devices in the house and 1 HTC One X acquired last week just because I wanna try something different).
Seems google does not. Well google does too except privacy concerns can/might be a problem.
But I haven't bought much apps probably less $20 so buying them again is not a problem right now.

Two things I can see with this - and feel free to say if my understanding is wrong ... but firstly, $200 on an app? F**k me
1) You can install the Apple app on up to three devices - but they all have to be linked to your Apple ID? How is that any different from using the same base Google account linked into multiple devices?
2) I can install my purchased apps on my HTC Desire S and my Nexus 7 tablet - because I use the same Google account on them both. I also have my account linked to the Play Store on my Dad's LG Optimus 4X, so I can install my paid apps on there, but because I don't set it to sync anything else (as pointed out by Zac) he only gets access to my apps, not my contacts, emails etc.

because the contacts/calender/etc syncing (iCloud) and AppStore can be different Apple IDs. I could login on the AppStore as [email protected] and use [email protected] for iCloud/iMessage/Facetime. Even iMessage can use [email protected] if I choose to do so. maybe Facetime too (not really sure I haven't looked at the Facetime settings much but I'm sure about iMessage)

I did mention privacy concerns. It's easy enough for your dad to tick sync contacts on his device. Or maybe use some other Google services like Google+/etc. haven't really used those so I qualified my reply to maybe.

I fail to see the difference really. If you create a Google account specifically for purchasing the apps and don't use it for email or anything else then you can just use that on the other person's device - yes, they would be able to sync contacts (which don't exist) or send email (so what). If you are planning on sharing your apps with a person who you trust that little then you probably shouldn't be doing so in the first place.
it's not about trust but the flexibility in the OS. seems Google isn't as flexible as it seems. It's flexible in some areas (having other keyboards/themes/etc) but in this case, it seems it's not at least compared to what the other major competitor can do.
I plan to have another account I will be using to purchase apps. It was suggested in another forum.

Not trying to be picky, but that argument doesn't stand up. The way that the ability to share apps works has absolutely nothing to do with the OS. Google is NOT the OS - Android is. Android is massively more flexible than iOS is, but Google don't implement some things as well as they could - partly because they don't make as much money from the OS, partly because of the very nature of the open-source structure and partly because they don't go round suing the backside off everybody else on the planet.
When I said Google, I actually meant android. I just got my 1st Android device last week and my terms aren't as polished as yours.
and let's not bring the lawsuits into the topic. don't really care much for them and VERY much off-topic. I'll buy whatever suits my fancy and in this instance, the HTC One X won.
Moderators PLEASE READ THIS THREAD BEFORE DELETING IT LIKE YOU DID THE LAST ONE
I did a couple of different searches on this board, looking for an alternative to gapps aka google apps. What viable alternatives to the google play store are there? google hangouts and google mail? I came across a thread discussion nogapps and the blank store that comes with it, but i'm not overly convinced that it lacks google's data mining processes.
I am not asking for sites that provide "pirated software" as I already know where to get that. I am asking for a "store" where I can search various phrases, and get a good return without those apps being relinked to google play store.
Have you tried the Amazon App Store? (Yes, they have Android apps)
Am I correct in assuming you are looking for a market that is completely separate from Google's servers? If privacy is your concern, you should know that all services that are provided for "free" employ some sort of data mining, because that is how they can afford to keep those services running. Since Google Play is the largest repository for Android apps, you would be hard pressed to find another service that hosts all of the same .apks, as that would seem redundant.
There simply is no viable alternative to the Play Store.
You can get alternatives, but they won't be nearly as good.
As for the rest of the gapps there are plenty of alternatives that are just fine or better.
Why are you so against gapps though? Washington doesn't care what apps you use.

Even if the app doesn't mine your data, your ISP still does ...
plenty
well there are plenty stores available on internet. if you are on android 4.1 and rooted then you can install NOKIA app store. well its tricky to use, you can find a apk on xda. when you install it just install aptitode market from there, though aptitode can be installed alone too. you can find almost all apps. but still google holds android that will mean they will have the maximum apps and secure and most updated apps. even developers always put latest updated apps on play store first. well i used wildfire which has no gpu so cpu has to do work for most of operations which makes slow and to overcome the low space on that phone i sometime skip the gapps. it depends if you want surveillance free android then go for other market apps.:silly:..google even know when you are walking. i read this on xda somewhere.:laugh:
choice is yours.
100s of stores are available nowadays...
Gmail alternate is aosp email
Maps run without email account...
What else u need?

A way to synchronize (not backup/restore) my contacts and calendars on the Internet (Mega, Dropbox, whatever...) to be shared among other devices. This is bare minimum.
Then, if I could also synchronize (again, not backup/restore)some system stuff like WiFi passwords, call logs, SMS/MMS, instant messaging stuff and some application settings, this would be an extra great feature.
Can you do it without GApps? If you know how to, please share!
I don't know if this idea will benefit the app devs. Getting rid of the play store is like taking away one of their BIGGEST market place. What do you think?
People wouldnt feel the need to seek alternatives if Google wasnt so hardcore with it
Like dam, is it really even reasonable to keep location tracking in the background 24/7 and 15 different types of loggers at once? You'd think those morons would understand how large of a percentage of their would-be-users would actually use more of their services if they didnt chose to make it an all or nothing affair. I literally use only the playstore, and because of whats needed for that I go ahead and utilize the sync. I would definitely be open to gmail, g+, etc. if they werent so retarted with it. Rant over.

I think more about my privacy than the app business.
I wish in could use something like CM with some synchronizing mechanism.
Unluckily for me I have a non-dumb-phone, a netbook and a desktop PC.
I use all three for work and would need some synchonization mechanism for calls, SMS and other stuff.
Do you have a suggestion in this direction?
I have read the opening post. So please remember that.
However, this kind of question will always lead to warez sites.... As it already has. And will continue to. And another thread asking same thing will lead to warez app responses yet again.
Google play store and Amazon are really the only ones that are legit and most other sites offer cracked versions of paid apps.
Obviously a website dedicated to Development and developers will not approve of most of the recommendations here, which I have deleted.
Please don't open another one of these threads. There's been enough answers provided already. So this thread is closed.
Thanks for understanding,

Can someone suggest me some lightweight app cloning application ? It does not have to be free but has to be good.
Must have for me i a possibility to turn off it from background running, i don't need any notifications from cloned apps.

Found 3 version of one app, try the one you want:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.parallel.intl
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parallel.space.lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parallel.space.pro
I just wonder what an app cloning application is.

Already tried, that app is little shady, why it is in 3 versions, i don't see any difference between them, devs what's to hide negative comments and publish it again ? second why it need to manage my notifications, that is read or remove notifications from other apps (including verification SMS or emails that popup in notification bar), i don't see a good reason for that, and if i will not allow it will display all the time very annoying baner on top that will try to convince me to give the app that rights. I would not recommend it, that personal information thieves does not use stolen data instantly when they got it, they wait till you lost track when and where you can give it to them. So at some time it could happens that in magical way some account number was added as trusted on your bank account and all your cash goes there.
maybe you can use the cloner app
I was on OOS and recently switched to crDroid. Probably the only thing that I really miss is the utility called Parallel Space which allowed me to have two copies of the same package. It worked seamlessly. However, ever since I have switched to crDroid, my options are limited. Any dual space app that i try from the Play Store are either clumsy or bloated. I am looking for a worthy replacement for OOS' Parallel Apps. The best app I could find was 'Island'. But it is more of a sandbox app. To use one app in Island (ex. WhatsApp), I need to add more apps to Island (Adobe Reader to view pdf, Contacts apps to access contacts, etc.)
So I want to know what apps are you guys using, and if possible also tell why. Thanks.
