Amazon just launched its app store today and is giving out Angry Birds Rio for free today, it is awesome.
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=sa_menu_adr_app1?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
PS: You need the ability to enable unknown sources, hence is not available for AT&T . Since most of the custom roms have it so it works for us.
thanks to all the developers at XDA.
Yeah its only for custom roms and some verizon/tmobile phones.
Its really laggy but worth it for free angry birds

Laggy in what ? I found it pretty smooth.
Has this issue where it asks you to enable one click purchase option and I could not get past that.. but if you purchase it online, and then open the app store on the phone it downloads the apps instantly. I actually found it faster than the market.

At worst they might have to change the name... I don't think they will have to close the store unless google or the carriers decide against it.
Actually better than android market...both amazon web and app version
What is the critique process and security?
Do they check apps like itunes, no check or maybe check like goggle market
Edit: I'm still sticking with android market...I think multiple markets will get confusing....I can imagine the "with amazon app store" phones already ):

i think is the wrong path to go with Android. Its good to have all the same OS but what if BB comes out with their own market (which they will) but then you have a Samsung?
Google should put a stop to this.
FYI: Some of the apps on the Amazon AppStore cost more than they do in the Market.
Sideload Wonder Machine will work on Stock Rooted ROM (Froyo). Use it to install the Amazon App MArket. Then download Rio...it won't install, but you can again use SWM to install the downloaded Rio apk.
It NEEDS credit card info even to download FREE apps..!!!!
So please let me know what do i need to do if i want to install amazon appstore on my captivate, and how can i do it
Thanks

Read the thread. Thats how.
Installed without issue on my stock AT&T 2.2. Used AIO Toolbox to enable side loading and I just downloaded using the link and installed. Linked it with my Amazon account (which already has 1-click setup) and downloaded Angry Birds Rio and installed without issue.

Same here. Already blew through the first 15 levels of Angry Birds Rio.
It is much easier if you already have an Amazon account established prior to installing their App Store.
How about for yuppies like me who does not have any credit card yet?

They will soon be able to bill purchases directly to your AT$T account. Wait until then.

Use a test card, Mailinator for an address, and make yourself an account with no real info other than your tn. I didn't try to fake that out, it might work, it might not.
Of course their app store runs on startup, and is required to run the program, meaning I'll finish off Angry Birds Rio in airplane mode then uninstall it all.
And Amazon's interface is pretty bad, especially when you are in catagories. Didn't they test?
Interesting...I was able to install on stock 2.2. I guess since I've rooted and enabled non market apps it was able to do that. Not sure why an Amazon appstore tho..what does it have over the market?
Its great that we can finally have an app store that filters out all the crap in the android market. The one thing I miss the most from iOS is a decent app store with (at the very least) pretty apps. Unfortunately there is just too much low quality stuff meant phones with low res displays.
Hey, I just recently got my Atrix 2, and its great. But I cannot find the mentioned "MotoLounge" App anywhere to reedeem my 10 free EA games, NFS HP wasn't on it either.
Thanks
Download the "EA Redemption" app from google play.

Is this a new promotion?I got my Atrix 2 back in November,am I still eligible?
In india motorola is offering 10 EA games for free. If you bought it in india then try the redemption app..

Oh I see,thanks.
Hmm, I found it but it says "Only for Atrix 2" and after that it says "Not Compatible With Your Device". Could someone who has the Redemption App PM me the APK or something?
Thanks.

Ouch, if I went to download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meg&hl=en from the Play store, it refuses as "This app is incompatible with all of your devices. Airtel Motorola MB865: This item cannot be installed in your device's country. Motorola XT720: This item cannot be installed in your device's country." I am not thru VPN, so my IP addr should clearly show I am from India. So if anyone post the APK I'll give it a shot. However, I got NFS Hot Pursuit pre-installed in my phone.
I'm in the US, I didn't know the promo was only for india (IIRC Motorola has it on their US site)
I got it from Amazon Wireless as an upgrade for ATT (1 penny)
That's stupid, well if anyone has a APK it would still be worth trying.

So, try this, I am sure there are enough checks built in the app to verify if your country/scheme/whatever is eligible for the offer.
Remember posting rules guys, this thread belongs in themes and apps
And thanks for the hint! I'll be getting some tonight!

Thank you so much man! It works.
Weird though, that you can't buy most of these through the GooglePlay Store.
And sorry, I though Theme's and App's was for posting custom apps or something.
Hey, just so you guys know, Real Racing 2 and Hot Pursuit seem to be on the Redemption Program now, RR2 wasn't yesterday but is now.
Not sure why, but I'm not complaining lol
I see newer games on list, is there a way to download more than 9 games?
New Games till I remember:
Madden NFL 12 HD
Battlefield Bad Company 2 HD
Real Racing 2 HD
games
I've got my Atrix 2 in US at AT&T in January. I've never knew about those 10 free games, but I downloaded the app posted earlier in this thread and it let me download 9 apps with no issues. I'm currently in Europe, so I don't know if it has anything to do with it
And it doesn't end there.. i have downloaded more than 10 games. And the redemption app says i got '-3' games left! Love ya moto..

Works on my wife's AT&T Atrix 2 running latest ICS leak (after you manually install the APK). Nice!
Just to share a small experience, When was on unrooted stock GB had done a factory reset and had saved the earlier 10 redeemed apks & then when checked the EA redemption app got later, got 10 more games additionally like BFBC2, Madden NFL 12, Tiger Woods 12 etc. Also yet showed in minus (-) games for additional downloads & now after updating to ICS the EA app exists but get message "your device is not supported by this app" which is fine as got more than bargained for.
One question..i download and install these games..after that if i do a factory reset then do i have download all the data again??
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app
If you have NOT formatted the memory card then you don't need to download the game data.. you still need to download the games though.

Here is the latest Google Play Store version 3.9.1:
http://www.mediafire.com/?b12b55w2lpgu8em
Is there supposed to be something new with it? Got it on my phne and nexus 7 and don't see anything new.
The only difference I see now is the tabs in "my apps" look different. I read that it adds support for gift cards though. Finally we are getting gift cards!

If you look in the specs section on Google's Nexus 5 order page, you'll see the compatible carriers listed as Tmobile and Sprint. I assume they wouldn't list that if Sprint only allowed ones offered through their store.

Face Verizon face... But i'm sure Googlerola will give them another Droid.
But how awesome that someone figured out to have an all in one instead of all these different models.
This is a big step in Android history.... :crying:
- Oh forgot... I have Sprint and ordered from the Play Store too and don't expect issues.
I just hope I can do it online and not have to deal with their staff in store... so awful in my area.
I am a manager at a sprint store. The only difference between the play store version and the one from sprint directly is that the play store one doesn't come with a Sim card that is needed to activate the phone on the sprint network. We were advised today that anyone purchasing the phone from the play store should be directed to a sprint service and repair center as they will have the cards needed to identify the device on the sprint network. Hope this helps!

Um..... Perhaps it's not available in your country? ?
Try installing the ladder trial vpn, or any other vpn. Connect to another country, clear data of playstore and services, and try again. Weird that it would give that message if the app was intended for Russians, but maybe it wasn't. Who knows, worth a try though.
