I would just like to point out this post was against XDA rules.

By asking for this I assuming you do not wish to show support to our devs which is what this website is all about. Shame on you.

Cheap ass. You spend the money on the device and data plan but you're too cheap to spend a couple of bucks on quality software. You suck.

I have a hard enough time finding apps that even cost money in the marketplace.

Na, he specifically named installous. And that is where you downloaded cracked apps for the iphone.

Even if he dose here is not the place to discuss. The development team work hard to bring apps, if ppl are gonna crack them why would they even release them??

Cheapass.
I don't care if it's deragatory and flame igniting, I'll say it again.
CHEAP ASS.

Nope, the idiot made it pretty clear he's looking for an Installous like market..

It is my understanding that you can get a refund for anything you buy that doesn't work out (in the first day or two i think). that coupled with all the trial apps, means there is no legit reason to use a cracked app.
Not that i ever agreed with that excuse, but some people suggested that it was there reason for wanting cracked apps - to try before buy.
Support developers and don't fool with cracked apps. It is stealing.

I don't think installous on iphone is that bad. I used it so I didn't have to pay for apps and I will admit that but then the app store is so massive anyway it doesn't matter. They will still develop for it.
On android however I think it is av completely different story. As the market isn't that big we need to be supporting developers and giving them a reason to want to develop for android. If everyone on android are going to crack the apps anyway then why would developers ever move from apple to android?

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.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

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

Homerun Battle 3D

Have you seen the new rule? No game play if you have a rooted phone. I paid for this game and purchased extras for it. This has to be the biggest pile of crap I have seen in some time.
What do you all think?

You should ask for a full refund.

Just shot them a email asking for a refund on the game and extras.
We will see what they say.

Can they do that?

Are you kidding? Of course they can.
It's their software, and they can put whatever restrictions they want on it. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some way to copy data/apps from a protected memory area which would allow people to get their stuff for free, and impact their revenue stream.

There is a write-up on this on AC. People have been screwing with the database for the app and posting impossibly high scores. They put that restriction on there so people couldn't "cheat". It isn't simply the fact that you are rooted.
They will probably start encrypting the score data or something and allow rooted devices again.

They have apparently already reverted to the old version and pushed an update on the Market. The Market review page is actually pretty entertaining...go back a page or two, and there is just page after page of one star reviews from root users (and a few in solidarity from non-root users).

I'm rooted and it works just fine for ne

I got a reply from the Email I sent and they removed the rule. You can now play again on a rooted cell. The email I got said the problems they were having was from FC errors on rooted phones. I never had a problem before or now. If fools are cheating then they do need to do some kind of encrypting.

[WARNING] ROMs contain pirated apps!

Hello, this is a quick massage, for a few devs:
A ROM developer, who has his ROMs on CWMs website, has implemented a few apps, that are normally paid only!
These apps include:
1. Apex Launcher pro
2. franco.Kernel updater (Franciscofranco has been notified)
3. Root Explorer (file manager)
4. Tapatalk 2
As I don't know all the devs, could you please take note, and notify thedevs, in your spare time
The ROM will be taken down from clockworkmod.com, to prevent more pirating
If you like, you can also post, with other pirated apps from other ROMs, this way we could maybe have a chance against idiots, who pirate and redistribute apps!
I will update this thread, as often as I can, and keep informing devs
Edit: If you have found stuff like this, feel free to report it here in the thread. It's not like anyone will criticize you (Not like that one user below).

I don't support piracy in any way what so ever but what the hell does it have to do with you? You sound like the little snitch who grasses every body up at school. Go away and get a life half of what gets done on xda is illegal hexing binary drivers etc.

Bit harsh to criticise him for letting developers know their commercial apps are being used without their permission. If someone used apps you created and sold wouldn't you want to know?
Tapatalk is not free. It is a commercial app made available free to some users under a deal with certain businesses so we can get it free but it is still a paid and copyrighted commercial app and whether we like it or not redistributing a paid app without permission to is piracy.
Apex pro is not free or open source only the less well featured non pro version is open source and free so again it is piracy.
Ideally the rom creator should be contacted privately as it could be an innocent mistake on their part but that doesn't make the op bad for letting people know their apps are being used in such a way.
Maybe the op is a cwm fan who doesn't want them targeted by those who have shut down popular sites that hosted pirated content and hopes that infringing content can be removed?

Exactly. You let this kind of stuff fly and you'll see Rom Manager removed from the market, if not sued for facilitating copyright infringement.

I did say I'm against piracy but people should just keep out of other people business. look let Rom manager dev know and let the app devs know sure but that's it we don't need a thread on it and we don't need people looking out for it. Like I sead weather you like it or not half of Rom devs on here are doing illegal stuff with roms maybe they don't know it but thay are.

This is a Dev site, to support people who develop, so someone reporting on pirated software is doing the right thing. People aren't going to make product if one of the biggest sites out there condones it. Thankfully, you are in the minority. Feel free to state your opinion, but do so constructively and treat others with respect.

386 posts and 23 thanks in 6 years as a member (2 of them coming from tools reading this quoted post by you). You are obviously an important member of this forum and do your best to help and support others . How about you just take your douchebaggery elsewhere? Everyone knows XDA is against the piracy of the apps developed by the people that make this site what it is.

Being successful...

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.

**Press the thanks button if I have helped you.

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.
