[Q] Purchased Apps - Thunderbolt General

Silly question, I've bought an app and since I will be upgrading soon, is that app transferable from one android phone to another? I figured it would be since it was purchased under my gmail account. Just need some clarification. Also, I have to get my post count up so I can post in the dev forums!! :laugh:

Yes. As soon as you sign in to your Google account from the other phone, it will be available to you again for no charge via playstore.

They can also be on multiple devices at once. I have my Thunderbolt as my main phone and also an inactive Incredible that I use on wifi to test neat stuff like CM10 (Jelly Bean is awesome by the way) and i have a lot of the same apps on both of them, particularly Titanium Backup Pro. Google has made it really easy to continue using the stuff you buy...as it should be.

Which CM10 are you using on the Incredible, I'm getting one from someone at work tomorrow. So it'd be cool to not have to either flash different ones or read a lot of comments.

I downloaded Swiftkey. I used the trial version about six months ago and totally loved it. I may try swype if there is a free version and see what the differences are. Thanks for your recommendation!

My Verizon App Missing?

I usually check once a week to see if the My Verizon app has been updated, but I cannot find it... I am on Ginger Remix so maybe I can't see it because of that? Can someone with froyo check?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I am completely stock and havent been able to find it for several days. I am guessing it has been updated in the market as not being available for the Thunderbolt since it did not work on our phone anyway.

The salient question is why would Verizon block owners of their flagship phone (okay, maybe the Droid Charge is that now, with the "Droid" branding") from the app at all, let alone for so long. Damn phone's been on the market for 10 weeks now and still no TB-compatible MyVerizon app. Very weird.
Look here at Post #6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14277108
The release is a verizon apk, however they have not released it because they do not want LTE users usage to be changed by having their current usage easily accessible. It will help them price out the tiered plans that we are getting this summer.

Well its not compatible based on their laziness. So it is easier to hide it because some people don't read.

Uhm no... Usage is just as easily accessible without the app. The same number of steps as if you are checking on WiFi. From what I have read it works on the other 4G devices but the bolt. If they are doing what you are saying then they should not have theirs working either.

Order & Chaos for Infuse

Has anyone successfully installed Order & Chaos on the Infuse? Seeing as the Infuse is such a close cousin to the Galaxy S phones and most of those phones officially support O&C, it seems like it should work fine on the Infuse but I haven't seen any threads about it.

it appears to be one of those high quality game loft games. they code games for the hardware and they may check the build.prop for compatability, so even a compatible device might not play the game if they havent added the device to there supported list. if it is in the market it may work if it is gameloft website only you may need to register the phone number and claim what carrier you have, they haven't really been supporting att devices for some reason, i didnt have much success downloading there games by anyones instruction but others claim it works. good luck, let us know your results!
i hate that they have all the checks because anyone with root and chianfire 3d can run games for other chipsets just fine. why not detect the gpu and cpu and have one universal install that has coding for several different api's? would it make the game that much bigger?

lol @ WoW
dude you werent kidding! look at the screenshots..
*shakes head*
Yeah, it basically is WoW for your phone. I've been playing it for a couple of months on an old iPhone 3GS, an HTC Inspire and on my ASUS Transformer. If an MMORPG is your cup of tea, I can't recommend Order and Chaos enough.
Anywho, Order & Chaos is not officially supported on the Transformer but I was able to get it to work by rooting it, downloading the game cache manually, and using Titanium Backup to install an "all devices" version of the game. I haven't rooted the Infuse yet and I was hoping there would be a way to install Order & Chaos without rooting but it sounds like rooting might be the only way.

If you're up to try it, follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159975
Download the cache file referenced there and unzip it to /gameloft/games . Then PM me your email address and I'll send you the download link to the Titanium Backup backup of the game (I would post it here but I think it's considered warez). Then you unpack the TiBu backup to /TitaniumBackup , open TiBu, and restore the game from there.
Edit: I should mention that I don't know of this will actually work on the Infuse but this is how it worked on the Transformer.

with branding and market keys you won't see every app. use http://market.android.com to see all the apps. apps will push to the phone, or you can get the site from the phone if you change the useragent in the browser.
It is incompatible with the Infuse. I was looking at it yesterday and the market through the browser said it was a no go. I was disappointed, honestly.

It's not officially supported, but it works just fine. I don't understand why Gameloft does this with some of their games - they make their games available only for specific devices - but Order & Chaos definitely works with the Infuse. Use the .apk that zeus408 provided (I think it was the 9th post in this thread).
Downloaded and plays fine on my infuse but wont download on my buddies motorolla droid. I used the same apk as I did on my phone.

Weird, just downloaded this on my work pc, then e-mailed it to my gmail. In the e-mail, next to the attachment, when viewing on my phone, there is an "Install" button right there in the e-mail, which acted just like .apk installer. Is that a feature of APK installer, or what? Either way, that's pretty damn cool...

I just ... do not get Minecraft. I tried the free version a while back on my phone, and I couldn't imagine anything more BORING.... I guess I'm not the target market.
I already owned Swiftkey, bought it when it was brand new on the Android Market as an upgrade from their earlier free beta. THAT was a long time ago! And, I have it free from Amazon LOL....
Have Sketchbook Mobile from Amazon's free apps.. and I do not use it at all...
Soundhound is popular, yeah, but I do not ever see myself using it. I never feel I just have to know what the name of a particular song I hear in public is...
The others? Meh.
I hear from a birdie that ADW-EX is gonna be one of the 10 centers soon though!

The best feature is that it saves your place when returning to the search list, what a PIA it was constantly scrolling back down a few hundred results. Now they just need to let you filter search results by 'free' like on the website.
I had this on my mind since last year.
I'm on GB (FB's VB) and multi select doesn't work, I have to delete one by one or I'm doing it wrong.
Thanks for the announcement.

The way multi select worked for me is you long press your first item till it selects, then you can select other items.

Blackice

I must admit, i finally got my hands on a copy of blackice (the old gingerbread rom) and im loving every second of it. My 4g is finally speed happy. Only using 80mb of ram? Bah who could ever say no to that. I was on whatever the latest cm (i think 11, unless thats nighlies) is and i was happy, but always felt i could get more juice out of my phone. Idk why the creator ever abandoned it. If i knew who he was id give him a nice little donation just for the work thus far. If anyone knows point him this way

And I've browsed that thread before but the links are down. They work from xda's end but the devs links are no more. I scavenged the internet until I came across a torrent for it with only 2 seeds lol. Definitely worth the treasure hunt.
Do you know of they've made anything else for the inspire/desire? Or better yet, how I can get voice working on this one? Like voice control, and voice-to-text messaging? That's the only feature I miss.
Nevermind that last question :foot in mouth: playstore already answered it. Lol. Now to find a lightweight app for that. Thanks again
