What does it take to be successful in the Google Play store? I've been developing for over a year now... I've only been able to make about $10 a month, if that... What am I doing wrong, or not doing? How do I get my apps seen?... Also, scan my profile pic, to see a list of my apps

In my opinion to be successful in any of the major app markets such as the play store and app store. You have to be able to create something that people didn't know they needed. Something that is new and innovative ad that has never been done before. Also if it is a game it is an good idea to make it as addicting as possible.

In short, app failed because no one know it, no one like it, no one use it.
At first, should not follow the money, but your product. If you want to win, you and your product must be different (unique is even better)
Second, marketing. I think you already googled for the tips. But read them again. It may help.

So I paid for the app among how many thousands of other ppl and Microsoft decides it wont allow 3rd party apps to gain access to an account that we the gamer/consumer pay for and google does nothing but pull the app or apps from the market and issues no refunds what the heck is that about ...its not about the money its about the poor business practices and the lack of protection of the consumer

Yea well deal with it. I can't understand why you need access to your gamertag on your phone if you can't play games.

I use an app called XBOX Live Statistics. It's nice because I can see if my friends are online or not, and I can send them XBL messages from my phone. It's a little slow, but worth the load time.
Its the fact all of us who paid for an app can now no longer use it and we got no refund from the dev or google but everyone will cry like babies about pirated software and protecting their work well im saying what's protecting our (the consumer) money.

They pulled that from the market too I was using it 2 days ago now its gone

I have paid for both apps and now I wont get updates to any of them... Nor will I get a refund for either of them. I dunno who I am displeased with more Microsoft, Google, or the app Devs
I also payed for this app... I got a bit pissed off when I noticed it wasn't available anymore

Absolutely not the devs or Google. Microsoft is at fault here. They disabled access and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Google could have given you the money back but you shouldn't be mad at them.

I didn't even know about this. I have xbox live statistics. Is the app no longer working? I haven't checked it in a day or so, but have a widget that treks me if I have any messages or how many of my friends are online. This is a real bummer and I hope the consumers show enough outrage that they allow access once again. This affecting other mobile platforms as well?

Yup that's exactly why these apps are useful. No need to keep booting up the Xbox or load the bloated website.
Removing access is not cool at all.
Buy a ps4 like iam going to I was a big xbox fan and I still like my 360 and xbox1 but after 4 POS 360s I will not buy the next xbox! And I did not buy win7 becuz M$ riped us 360 owners off with defetive ****y hardware! M$ really Sucks it all started after Bill gates left

They only pulled it because it cost money. Had it been free it would have stayed. That's their policy on the iPhone app store thus I assume the same thing here

Just verified that Spark 360 still works, glad I found this a while back and not the ones discussed in this thread
is there a way to do this or am I stupid. I have the xda premium app and gingertheory comes preinstalled with the xda app. in the manage apps menu there is no uninstall option for the app and i cant delete the icon from my app list and it is annoying having both icons in the list. nothing that I cant live with, but just annoying.
would have put this in the gingertheory thread, but I dont have enough posts yet to post a thread there.
Have u ever tried (system app remover) download and uninstall xda
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
You need to use an app manager with root capabilites, like titanium backup. It will allow you to uninstall system apps (so be careful!)
Also, other (read: better) launchers will allow you to hide apps from the drawer.
Just delete the apk from data/app wipe the cache and the dalvik.

Awesome. Thanks for the help. I feel like such a noob with this phone. Had my og Droid for almost 2 years (had 4 in the last 2 months before they offered early upgrade. Thank god for insurance. Only had to pay for replacing the first one after it landed face down in gravel) thought I knew a lot about Android with my simple and reliable one click root. Bricked it a couple times and that was even easy to fix. This phone requires more effort to accomplish the same stuff and I feel accomplished when I learn something new like adb which I never used till a couple of weeks ago. Then I run into something like this. I have had ti backup for over a year and didn't know it could freeze apps till a week or so ago and didn't know you could delete things with it. I need to start reading more documentation.
Again thanks. Love this community so far. People will actually help you rather saying search Google and linking you to the page, or just be rude in general.

Agreed, its a good feeling to learn things, and all though you will quite often get.. "search, Google, read" from many people... Sometimes it is just as easy to answer the Damn question, and what many don't realize is that a lot of the time a answer to a problem can be the best way to learn... If one were so inclined to do so.

So samsung is doing a promo for a few free games.
LINK
I was wondering how to get these onto my S3. Also, would these work for the d2vzw even though it has the international listed? I'm currently running AOKP and don't have whatever app Samsung uses to do there apps. Any help would be awesome
Telling me I'm an idiot works as well:cyclops:
I did try downloading the Synergy Rom but I didn't see an apk in /system/app or /data/app that looked promising to be the one to get me what I needed.
I also want to know how to get these games, I tried the samsung app store, but it wanted to modify pretty much every aspect of my phone and wanted to install adservice on it
That's dumb. Might flash to stock dl the pull the apk and flash back lol

I'm pretty sure it's only for non-US phones as well. I installed their app store but I can't even find these games on their store. If I'm not logged in to their website, I can follow the links to the apps (it's not in English) and then it makes you log in and then you get page errors. So yea, another Samsung perk that's not available in the US. Boo for that.

If all you do is install app from Play store then it will not allow you to even try, if you open the app you will notice the only option you have is to send others money.
If you do a search you will find several threads on using a modified version to gain this functionality. Results are varied right now. But I have had success have used it several times in the last few days.
try reading this thread starting around page 319 i think

Apparently the guy who developed it didn't like all the attention and fame he got around the world. Well that's what a few sites online say...

According to some articles.. the developer received some very bad review of the game via Twitter (Death threats and hate)..

I just read up on it, and it seems like removing the app is just going to get it talked about more.
There are plenty of people who have the .apk, as well as people who have modified it, and patched it, etc. If there is a way he is collecting revenue off it this would have been a very successful marketing move. However, the app wasn't a paid app, and even though people may be searching "flappy bird" more, I'm kind of curious how he's actually making money off it since the top Google searches are not likely his own website/ad revenue.

He makes money probably because of the ads in the app like most free games are run by some kind of one click advertising that's why some apps charge to remove it
