[Q] how to fix a broken playstore - General Questions and Answers

Hi. :good:
i have a device that won't access the playstore, my theory is that the freedom app that may cause it.
Any help would be much appreciated as you are pretty much the only chance that I've got
Good Luck:good::good::good::good:

Don't use freedom, its illegal
Also if you want to fix it, delete freedom.

Which freedom app is it? Is it this one?

@Archer I highly doubt it's that, many people report playstore problems when they use Freedom to unlock free in app purchases.

Sure, but it could be the one I asked about, and that could be responsible for his described issue. Let's let the OP answer us.

Thanks. You see - I'm not as harsh as some people say

@Archer You. Harsh? Hard to believe x) Anyways let's wait for the op.

@TheArc i already did.

@Tyrese999 Pardon? Did....what?

If you use freedom you have the option to start and stop the service, once you start it playstore is not working untill service has been stopped... i ran into that issue also when i used freedom

I will not say you have to delete it .
That's your choice.
To make your play store work again , you will have to delete the hosts file and you're good to go

For non working play store, open freedom up, goto the settings option and click on stop. That will terminate service. We you need to use freedom again, whatever app you open up will restart the service again.
*if you like an app after "trying" it with Freedom, then please make sure you support the developers.

The Dev wants you all to remove it. Just got a tweet from him.

If it's free for the members here, why would it matter?

Glad I bought mine the other day. Not trying to be high and mighty, just glad. I think it is always best to get things legit, but right now even more so with the things going on with the apps over at apple (trying to lock devs in so they con not port apps from over there to over here). This app is android specific, but just keeping the android market healthy so that it is more attractive for devs, so we get better apps is always a good thing. Also the apps are stupid cheap, so it is kinda hard to say you do not have that money with the expensive phone you are using.
I responded in other thread, moving this to apps section. Check out my post in other section. If there is clear evidence that rom users are using the paid app and not the app supplied here on xda by developer let me know and I will take care of it.

It matters because he's asked ROM devs to remove it. It's in the market thus it is a paid app.

? If the devs are using the same apk that he provides for the members then their shouldn't be a problem.
If anything you're stirring something up and for what?
If it bothers him, he can contact a moderator.

Whether they use the same APK or not has no bearing on the fact that the owner/creator is requesting it to be removed from the roms with a valid explanation, and that's the ONLY thing that matters... Is it so hard to link to the setcpu thread in a rom thread and give the guy the credit he deserves and the possibility of making a measly $2 for his hard work if someone chooses to donate and not just download?
god forbid someone feels abused and changes a service nobody is entitled to, to begin with, how selfish of him... Sheesh

Well said.
The issue is this: The dev wants people to make a choice of whether or not to buy the donate version in the market. If the free version is included in /system/app (Read only partition!!) in a ROM, then the choice of "do i donate or not?" is eliminated. I don't think it's too much to ask.

Indeed! That's all I wanted to state. The SetCPU dev works VERY hard to keep it updated and working with every phone. He deserves credit.

Question about downloading .apk

I have one question. If i found aplication that is not free on market but posted online like .apk and I download to pc. After that transfer to my phone via usb then install on it, am i going to be chargred for that app or there is no way that anyone can charge me or know that i have one? Thanks.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
No, you will not be charged for it.
I should remind you that this is piracy, which is not encouraged.
arrrg shiver me timbers
only downside also to taking a apk on a torrent or whateve u will rarely get updates...more likely none
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for answers, everything seems to be ok and resonable
Btw any good app for VPN (cisco) does not meter if has to be paid as long that work propertly?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i am not condoning piracy, but yes it is possible to just download an app from the web. appbrain does a good (but accidental) job of telling you when they need updates. you will need to find another version online though to manually update.
applanet is baisically all this but inside a single app. it is a pirated android market. once again, i dont encourage piracy, niether do i use it.

As someone who develops Android apps - please just go pay for it. We put a lot of effort into making these things and it's only a few dollars. The dollar you just saved was food you just took off someones table.
That said, any Android developer worth his salt should have already implemented the Market License feature. The new license model can remotely validate that your copy is legit and allows the developer to respond how they choose.
In my apps, I lock you out and show a nag screen with a market link... but I know some devs who just quietly phone home with your device ID and phone number.

And I suppose that code it's not an activation code,but a referral code, which is yours, so you get something (money? maybe) if we use it.
You've been harvesting those single $ for a long time, haven't you? I'm not going to make you rich, pal, with nothing in return.
im not forcing you it doesnt matter whether you like it or not :good::good::good:

Android Screen Recorder

Hey guys,
So I just wanted to ask if anyone knew a good FREE screen recorder for my android smarthphone...
Hey
Screencast is a great one. Although it is paid there is a free version. I will never condone pirating but you could get a copy of the paid apk online and try it out. Please then support the developers. It is really easy to use.
There is also zrecorder which is a good free one. I do not have experience with that app though.
Why not just try the free one before you decide whether or not to pay for it.it's a good app, works lovely and isn't that expensive

Because the free one is the limited version. It does not enable the full experience. Users/buyers may be put off by this. So instead try the full version, is what I was saying. This 'try the full one as a demo' mentality was the feature that basically sold the onlive platform a while back.
Well put baddaman54
Yes screencast is a great app
ScreenCast is the best android app I've ever used

I think Google should do something against this. Not sure how you would automize something like what Apple is doing with their verification, but I'm sure Google can come up with something.

I agree good idea.
IDK
I don't think Google will do anything like apple as per there policy they are different..
