List of cool apps NOT found in Market & cool unknown Market Apps!!

Step 1: Go to Settings, Applications, and check download apps from unknown sources. This will enable you to download third party apps not found in Market. You can download all these apps from the Internet Browser directly on your phone.
I'd recommend getting a Dropbox account and downloading Dropbox & Astro File Manager/ES File Explorer (any other file manager should suffice) on your phones.
Here's my referral for Dropbox (You and I get extra space!):
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTkwNzUxMDk
When you download the apk's use dropbox to store the apk files in the cloud. You will use the file manager of your choice to direct Dropbox where the file is located. This helps with having to re-install apps and avoiding having to search for them again. Dropbox is handy for a grip of other uses such as storing your class papers, pictures, presentations, documents, resume, etc.

I had to do the same (for Wired) when I initially flashed CM7 -- can't help with the Entertainment Weekly but Wired apk attached

Don't have my tablet in front of me but I just remember there being a login link in the top left once you open the app. I just signed in there and was able to download issues after that.

I remember the link is suppose to be in the upper left but it won't show up for me.

Try disabling your adblocker if you have one, that's what I had to do on my hp touchpad to get the sign-in link to show.

APK Downloader - doesn't require your Google username or password

Shameless plug but I think it would come in handy for quite a few people.
This tool allows you to download any (free) APK from the Android Market by simply entering it's package name. There's no requirement to install anything, enter your Google username/password or enter your device Id.

I can see how it can come across as spam as I have 0 post history but it isn't - it actually works. Give it ago, nothing to lose.

This is the best tool of its kind and it really works. Thanks OP for this wonderful thing. Even there is a binary for windows on the website.

This looks rather interesting.
However, as you point out in your own website "you shouldn’t trust random binaries on the Internet and thus the C# source code is available if you wish to build it your self", it would be great to know how this works.

The C# app is just a wrapper for your web app. It doesn't show how it's done, so it doesn't allay any fears other than running the windows app. You still don't know anything about the apk that's downloaded.
Great idea though.

Exactly.
However I've downloaded a few small files and they match with the ones I already had.

I won't share how it's done but the APK is directly downloaded from the Play Store as if you were browsing it your self. Feel free to do MD5/SHA1 checksum comparisons of the apk from the play store and of the apk downloaded via this tool.

So can this extension download paid apps for free or what? I don't know cos I'm not on my pc and can't view the link on my phone

If it could then the thread would have been deleted and the OP would be receiving a stern message about distributing warez on a developers' forum. So, no - it doesn't download paid apps for free, as it says in the 1st post.

I guess it was good while it lasted.
As for the last day, no longer working.

If you are after a wider audience, you could post this tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392504 .

This looks pretty nifty! I was trying to download the new Kairosoft game with it, but I guess because it has IAP or something, your downloader won't work. It's a free app.

[DISCUSSION] YOUTUBE'S upcoming new feature

i don't know if it is right to open a new thread so i did it to have a general discussion about youtube and its new upcoming feature
if any mod thinks that this thread should be closed then there is no problem by me
here is an article of what i am talking about
http://youtubecreator.blogspot.sg/2013/09/heads-up-about-upcoming-youtube-mobile.html?m=1

Is this source official? After reading it, I can only think of it as forcing you to download content. YouTube is probably safe, but pushing content to your device without you asking that seems quite absurd. I believe there will be a mechanism to allow this (only to subscribed channels or even a dedicated switch for that).
Seems like a nice feature, but with today's network speeds it's not that much of a problem.
BTW, before adding features, they should fix the UI on both mobile and PC, moving the quality setting to a submenu is a crime (especially when it's on 360p by default when you can play 1080p without any problem).

actually i doubt if that feature will be acting without user's permission but we will see it soon enough

Doubt they will do this. Google is try to get rid of YouTube downloading apps and plug-ins, so why would they purposely force you to download videos?

i believe it is just a feature
generally everything is happening for a reason not incidentally

When you watch a video you download it to your computer. After watching it, it is deleted. Everything you see on the web is downloaded to your computer (even this comment). What they might do is to make the videos available for you by pre-caching it, so you can watch them offline. And for the anti-download policy - I believe google will encrypt it somehow. There is more than one way to do this.

It sounds like a list you add videos to which will download all to your phone. Then the downloaded videos will be available while offline. Sounds like a Watch Later feature to me

Something like that, with te difference that you add channels to your list instead of videos, and when new videos are available, they get downloaded to your phone automatically for you to watch them, and afterwards (my guess is a couple of hours or the first watch) they are deleted.
I guess it's more like getting the newspaper to your doorstep each morning.

Thread reopened, moved to General

thanks a lot

new google play version (5.2.27) is available

Highly doubt this will happen.

what do you mean?

I didn't really get what the feature does exactly. Does it allow to push content to my phone without my permission?
Or can I manually choose which videos to download. That would be a really awesome feature and eliminate the need for apps like PVSTAR.

[How to] Microsoft Office android preview on phones.

Need to be rooted.
Ok the new MS word, PowerPoint, and Excel are only for beta testers using a tablet. I'm going to show you how to run in on phones as well.
1. Sign up to be a beta tester here http://www.instant.ly/s/w7taW/nav?sessionId=Qyqg66BR53BOHZ7oL8Dn0wwd#p/186a0 Edit MS removed beta tester site don't know why but here is a new link to get office by Google plus
http://blogs.office.com/2014/11/26/get-office-android-preview-apps/
2. Wait for MS to send you an email to beta test.
3. Download market helper. Google the apk. This allows you to change your device so the play store will think your phone is let's say a tablet.
4. Try to download the office apps via the email MS sent you. It should work BUT....
5. When you open let's say Word or any of them it will be huge and won't fit your resolution not sure about quad hd but 1080p is to small. So download app settings from xposed. This allows you to change the dpi of any app you have on your phone. Change all the MS apps to your desired dpi. My opinion for 1080p is change it to 380 dpi.
And that is it. ENJOY!!
ALSO MS SAYS YOU CAN'T RUN IT WITH lollipop but I never tested so just fyi.

You dont have xposed framework in lollipop...so if it huge you can use app settings
