FREE apps possible?

Like the iPhone, when you jailbreak it, people who cracked the app can download it for free. Can we also do same?

Support your devs, apps and roms. You have no clue how much time goes into either, the least you can do is pay/donate for their hundreds of hours of work. Its possible but me/or probably anyone else that knows how to do it isnt gonna tell you. I've even donated to developers who do good work, and I'm a developer.

Nada broski. It's illegal and unethical.

I dont condone either but they are out there...

We don't discuss Wares, pirated software, etc. here on XDA. Read the sticky. Please close this thread!

sorry. guys...

Anyone immoral and unethical enough to crack and post "free" apps on the internet is also immoral and unethical enough to include a virus, steal your identity info, or anything else. One way or another, you end up paying for that kind of stuff. It is much cheaper and easier in the long run to support the developers so that they have the incentive to continue to develop.

God forbid you don't spend $.99-$5
Skip the Big Mac for one week and pay for your app.
Support the community.

the only place i used pirated software with apps is on my iPhone, but i would only try them for no more than a day and then i would choose to buy it or not due to the fact that theirs no refund policy with ios

When I got my first android phone almost 2 years ago, I [plead the fifth]. Within 20 minutes I felt so guilty that I immediately bought the app and donated an extra $10 to the developer. I don't understand how you can do such a thing, Android even lets you return the app if it wasn't what you were looking for!

Thread closed, this is illegal.

So you're asking for a pirate copy? is this allowed in these forums? How about BUYING it? that would for sure "provide you with a stable copy"

I believe this section is called " dev and HACKING" unless you have the solution im looking for, which by the way is so far from buying it, pkease leave

i happen to know the dev. i've reviewed this app for him before. in fact im going to be doing another one soon because he sent me the latest version.
the reason it keeps crashing on you is because he has implemented the market license thingy that detects you haven't paid for it the second your device touches the internet.
I hate paying for apps too, but the ones that deserve my money, i pay for, and i have a large list of awesome apps that i have paid for because it was actually worth it.
dude, this app is worth it. it works with ics and gingerbread, it has way more customizations than any other face unlock app out there AND it is the most stable!
And i only review good, useful apps. and when they are paid apps, they better be worth it!
but as far as getting a hacked version, i wouldn't hold your breath, sorry dude.

6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.

First and final warning

Most used Art creation app

Keep seeing posts about what apps do you use (I've posted a few myself). Thought I'd do a poll so that other new comers can quickly assess what the most popular options are instead of purchasing many different apps.

Sounds like your promoting piracy here... Since I do some Android development and have always respected the work of developers, I gotta report you and hope you get banned.
Maybe you should learn to write apps, pour your time and energy into it in hopes of making some money only to have people pirate it.

I completely understand and support the policy here.
However, I believe this was an innocent mistake. I certainly hope the OP doesn't get banned for it... All that's needed is a friendly reminder of the rules and clear warning not to do it again.
No need to crucify the guy for being unaware.

can't be innocent. that's from known warez site.

[could not stop myself:] How would _you_ know?

Apologies. I wasn't thinking. It's an app I really wanted to try as the reviews sounded good. As it's no longer available for Purchase, I didn't think it would be a problem as I see threads on here with links for apps ported from other devices such as super note

Apologies. If it was available to purchase I would purchase it. That was the only place I could find it. If some one can link a source where I can pay for it, I will do gladly.

Not to bash you anymore, so apart from any ethical considerations...
Reality is - until you advertise it - nobody here knows and cares how you obtained your apps.
The practical dimension is more important and really simple - if we want xda to exist, let's not provide grounds for piracy promotion accusations.
The rest is between you and your conscience (and copyright enforcement agencies I might add).

So should I request others be band for posting links to apps that aren't available to note 8.0 users as it isn't available via legitimate sources? The first guy to suggest I get band got vcl via an alternate source as well as supernote. Yes the site I suggested is unethical but how is that different to people posting a link to Dropbox?
I appreciate that what I did was wrong, but I take offence to be accused of not supporting developers. I've deleted the post and I'm willing to pay for the app if someone can suggest a way for me to do so.

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. While I appreciate I made a mistake with my suggestion, by downloading supernote on here, aren't you undermining Asus who have the rights to it? I'm just trying to understand where the moral lines are? Getting an app that is no longer distributed anywhere is wrong, but getting an app that is exclusive to a particular vendor?

Sorry for all my posts in this thread. I enjoy contributing to these forums. I've learnt a lot on here and like to help others where I can. I just don't want to get banned for suggesting sourcing an app that is no longer available

Let's not get into defensive mode, small missteps happen to everybody now and then. Nevertheless "everybody does that..." does not provide valid reason for anything.
It's not about yours, mine on anybody else's excuse on getting stuff in shady ways, it's about not advertising the fact on xda. Nothing more than that.
I'm sorry you had to learn that in rather unpleasant way.

Sorry for this post up front because I know it causes more drama but....
Even though I agree with the warez link not being posted here on XDA you make a strong point. The question is where does the line get drawn? Take the hotpot mods for example. They are allowing one to get something for free that usually is only obtainable through an additional monthly fee.
My opinion is these things should be decided by Moderators and not members because both sides have an argument when it comes to this. Best practice is to report the post and let them make the decision on what is best for XDA. When members confront other members a lot of times it has a tendency to get a bit ugly.

It's a shame this thread got side tracked so soon, I was hoping to promote discussion on the pros and cons of particular favoured apps . Wishlists of features and promotion of the lesser known apps for people wishing to experiment

Sometime during the week, I'm going to start an open google document to do a table of the apps listed on here and the features that each one has.
max resolution. max layers. export jpeg. export png. vector. brush types. layer options. duplicate, merge, colour, overlay, multiply, mask. blend took. dodge / burn tool. flip. grid overlay etc etc.
I will post a link once I have it up and hope that you can help in filling it in. These apps are all getting updates and i'm losing track of what has what functionality. Ideally, id like to minimise the amount i need to go in and out of various apps and this table should help me decide which ones best complement each other.

with out a blend / smudge tool. sketchbook pro is off of my short list. I can import my psd file from layerpaint into it, which is great but with out the smudge tool it makes colouring far to difficult.
both artflow and infinite painter have this option but I can figure out a way to open a psd file from a different application in them which is really frustrating.

looks like clover paint can both import and export in psd, it has unlimited canvas size and layers and also includes a blend tool... It's just made it to top of my list of apps to try.
I emailed the artflow dev and was told there is no plans in the near future to support psd import

About a closed thread..

Just my thoughts on this topic
(IM NOT TRYING TO BE OFFENSIVE)
xposed framework can be used to turn lucky patcher into a patcher on absalute crackcocain...... is xposed framework less illegal than lucky patcher? I DO NOT USE EITHER TO CRACK APPS AND I NEVER WOULD
I USE BOTH TO BLOCK ILLEGAL CORPERATE REMOTE USE OF MY CELLPHONE.... furthermore adware=logger and that is also illegal imo....
the topic: (I wont post the link because its 'closed' and i would like this topic to remain open, but this is why it was closed)
I read the thread and its not telling people to use my favorite app to hack... i paid for an app the other day that was only .99 cents but i installed the key apk first and didnt get it off gplay i was going to contact the developer about the problem but just used the fix in this topic lol.........

1.) You are wrong if you think hacking means cracking
2.) You are wrong if you think the app in question is not helpfull to developing. (Thats why i use it........)
3.) You are VERY VERY wrong if you think intelegence is not the main factor in bypassing licence
4.) Youu are wrong if you think bypassing licenses is always illegal locally.
5.) You are wrong if you imply licenses are always legal
6.) Google play does a plethora of illegal things of which are publicly documented. (hence why people crack them)
7.) You are blind if you think what xda does, does not CRACK various aspects of the android platform and much much more.
8.) Hacking in general (not cracking) will always and INHERENTLY lead us to choices... let people make those choices... because some people think that what google does is illegal and that they should be cracked...
.
I can keep going on and list to 100, but ill finish with this.
Thanks to you lots and lots of people will use this app to crack apps.... removing UNUSED odex files is NOT inherent to cracking apps.... so ironic.... I might be a big noob, but ive programmed since i was a little kid and the functions of this app are a godsend to DEVELOPING.
p.s. to developers.... notice how you already learned something?

Really......... xposed framework is 10000000 times better in regards to "illegally cracking"... I can do some things which before hand required actual coding.... please dont hate this app its got so many good features that are promoted on xda...
or is xda now on the side of MASSIVE spam overhead? it wasnt when i use to post here 5+ years back...

Dont hate the pirates,hate the policies :D

Some of live in some places ,where google do exist..but services are myth's.In my place a dollar is equal to 80 bugs, nexus 4 costs 35k (16 gb) ,HTC one 50k, Note 3 65-70k,Z1 57k.So,when some one purchase a phone above 30k ..He or she can at-least spend some few more on purchasing apps. But, google wont let us do that..they even dont let redeem some gift cards.Actually I was pirating some great apps (not ridiculously over priced) and came across this guilt I do spend the time that I had to spare on XDA. There some great stuffs developed by XDA members smart wifi toggles, Better battery meter.I am not a developer and never will be,but do hangout here ..which is kinda fraternity. Like, mike1986 page he says "If you like my work,you can buy me a beer" ..its kindaa sad that we cant contribute... So,all those developer's we are sorry for pirating your work,but please blame it on the policies

The reason that any posts relating to software piracy get locked down, and the reason that asking for links etc is banned is because XDA is based in the USA and would open itself to legal action if they allowed it to take place.
