[Q] Runkeeper Free

I tried doing a search didnt really bring up anything so I thought I'd ask. But do i ask here or in the Q&A section? oh what the hell
If you download runkeeper pro, which is free at the moment and keep that until Runkeeper Pro goes paid. and uninstall it once it goes paid againt, are you going to have to purchase it?
Not sure if any of that made sense

You looking to download run keeper or just telling us about it?

Look for it in the market...its runkeeper all one word. It does not work that great on my S. Went to exercise last night and the GPS did not kick in till a half mile later. I am going to try again but who knows.

my question was I have it installed, and its free obviously, IF when it goes back to being a paid version, and I uninstall it, would i have to purchase it to download again?

I don't think so.

I don't really know how that works, but as long as you maintain a market link for the app (whether it's actually installed or not, but shows in your apps section of the Market), I think you'd still be able to install it. No experience with that at all, though.
I'm losing track in my head of who's rooted and who's not around here, but if you're rooted, you can always just copy the apk to your sdcard and reinstall it manually, later, right?

That's what I do

Yeah, and I do similar for apps that I can't see in the Market on the Nexus S. I download them on my SGS or N1, then upload the apk to my dropbox and install from there on the NS. Tedious, but it works.

Best streaming app ever!!!!

Hi guys i just wanted to share this awesome app. its called tv shows hd. for some reason they removed it from the market, but i just recently found it. the link is http://www.mobileboxs.info/android-apps/tv-shows-hd-v2-9-android/ just click on the megashare mirror and close all popups. click on where it says free download and close popups. then just wait for the countdown and download the apk. install it by either putting it on your sd card or going directly on your phone and downloading it and installing it like any other apk. Enjoy!!!!
UPDATE: I just found the newest version of this app which fixes the full screen problem...http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?647650-TV-Shows-HD-v3.0-(free) you have to register to get the app, but hey 10 seconds is a small price to pay for such an awesome app. And the show quality is AWESOME
UPDATE 2: I just figured out how to use dropbox . Here is a link to the apk... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25647849/TV Shows 3.0.apk

This is awesome. Not ALL shows work but A LOT do. Re-living my childhood watching Are you Afraid of the Dark.

"How I Met Your Mother" at the palm of my hands!!! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

My pleasure guys just trying to spread the android love. If an episode doesn't work just close the app and restart it usually works for me

Any way to make it full screen?

I use "TV Shows Stream". The free version only allows a few shows, but if you just dish out a couple bucks for the paid app, it's well worth it. Tons of shows that update frequently.

i use this too and its awesome!! anybody know of a live tv app? the last one was taken over by the FBI and other legal stuff anybody find a new one?

To make it fullscreen, just long press near the top somewhere until you see the full screen icon on the top left corner

Tv shows stream is like 8 dollars now...too expensive if u ask me. Tv shows Hd is free and the quality is amazing

Whenever I do full screen like 10 seconds later it goes back to un-full screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

Cant get this damn app to work. It searches for servers and then gives me an ad and then black screen. Tried force stoppping, and retarting. Even rebooted my phone. Any advice? Do I need to be on Wifi or is 3G fine? On a rooted Droid X running 2.3.3.

I can confirm the app working perfectly on my Droid X running 2.3.3 on 3G. Don't know what would be giving you issues.

Market Issues After Deleting Amazon

I am finally free of the evil Amazon App Store and I also deleted all the free apps of the day I downloaded. I want a few of them again from the Android Market but after an uninstall and even a clear data from the Market the Market says I already purchased those apps and it won't let me download them! Does anyone know of a way to fix this issue?
Steps I have taken:
- Clear data and cache of market app (numerous times)
- Wiped entire phone
- Reloaded ROM
- Did NOT let the setup restore anything
- Reloaded my apps with TiBu
For some reason the market on my phone and online says I have some of the Amazon apps I still want and won't let me download them. It just says purchased and won't let me download them because I didn't buy them from the Market. Any help would be awesome!

why is amazon evil? Because they give you free apps everyday? Or let everyone in your family have an app with only one purchase?

What a way to answer his question and the help the community bro...

umm, he bashed amazon, I asked why. I have no idea why market says apps are installed that really aren't. My solution, you should have all your apps backed up with either app monster pro or titanium backup. App monster pro lets you restore apps directly from the market.
If not, a hard reset might be the easest answer.
At least my post was on topic.

They may or may not be evil, but they do write some sh**** code for their amazon store application as well as how they implement their DRM. I can tell you however, that they are pretty evil to those that choose to develop on their appstore though.
http://bithack.se/news/apparatus-amazon-july-4-2011.html
I'm guessing the market somehow still thinks you purchased the apps because of the amazon store writing half*** code and there's not much that can be done really

Mustang302LX, I just tried to duplicate the issue and wasn't able to. "Seal" is a paid application I downloaded from Amazon. When I uninstall it and then go to the Android Market there's no trace of it from the Amazon store. The google market should only recognize apps purchased via its checkout.
I would try another full system wipe including the Android and data folders on your sdcard. Basically try to get it as close to out of box as possible without going back to the stock rom

I'm not a dev so I really don't care if an indie dev has a problem with amazon. I like to purchase apps on there because I have 4 phones with 4 different gmail accounts, that I would have to purchase 4 copies of the same app for my family. This would get expensive quick. Amazon allows you to install an app across all of your devices. This is why I always look there first when buying an app.
I wish the review process was faster, but I appreciate the fact that they review the apps. The market is full of crap apps and apps that have been copied from other devs. I know its the other extreme, but coming from windows phone, I prefer that to any app making it and it being up to me to make sure its not malware.
What's weird about the OP's problem is that when I install an app from amazon and from market (on accident I've done this a couple of times), it recognizes either way that it was from the other site and asks me if I want to uninstall the one version and install it from the market.
If this is happening after a data wipe, there are bigger issues here.
edit: same reason I use amazon music vs google music. I would have to upload my music to all the gmail accounts instead of one amazon account.

Now who's off topic, we're glad YOU prefer Amazon and it fits for YOUR family but...that's not what this thread is about. And please don't write back with some looooong semi personal response, it's not that serious.

I looked there but it must go away with an uninstall. Might backup SD card and format and just put music and pics back along with a full wipe this weekend.
Sent from my Thunderbolt running CyanogenMod 7 using the Tapatalk app.

Update: I removed my SD card and turned phone on and cleaed market cache and data and no good. So I came up with a backup plan. Since the Market allows for multiple sign ons I created a 2nd account and using that I am able to sign into the Market easily and download all the apps it claims I have purchased on my primary account. It's not the absolute best work around but it does work so that's a good thing for now.

Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?

Just download and install. No root needed either. Seems much better. Also looks better on my Tab than the older version.

I simply downloaded it... clicked on the completed download... then had the option to install... went straight to the market and checked the version, no issues at all.

Renamed and pushed no problem. Def faster.

when it comes to the market, it only updates when it's open. it's the only app that does it that way. all other apps will show in the notifications. if I'm wrong, please let me know, but I don't think that's the case.

How do you know that this is the ONLY app?
But anyway, my point is if Google can do it on Android platform it does not matter with one app or many.
PS: off-topic, Google Map subscribes to bunch of intents, so it would be launched when you turn-on screen, WiFi etc... I would like start application when I press app icon... There are no other way to opt-out other then disable Map in pm.

Google maps can be stopped by using the app autostarts. All those apps that start by themselves when you do something, ie reboot phone connect to wifi ect... no longer plague me. True, I just delete most of them, but there are some I actually use (like maps and Gmail).
Unfortunately I can no longer find the exact app I use in the market, though I'm sure there are others that do the same thing. If anyone would like the apk for the one I use just let me know and I can post it next time I'm on my laptop.

Autostarts is a paid app in the market.
If you found the developer posted it for free on XDA, please link to that... otherwise this breaks XDA rules.

[APP REQUEST] Motorola Assist Modification

I was wondering if any developers would be willing to look in to the Moto Assist app, I know there's a few of us that would like to be able to toggle the driving functionality on and off at will.
I work from home programming, so it's great to be able to just vocally tell my phone to read me texts, or answer calls... but then I'd like to be able to turn it off when I go out to dinner haha. I've already tried work-arounds like forcing car mode on, or downloading other apps. Nothing works as well as the stock Moto Assist app, but unfortunately it only works when I'm driving, it must pull from the GPS.
Anyway, if someone could look into this that would be awesome, it's a bit beyond my ability regrettably. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Like being able to say.. "okay Google now. Turn on moto assist"

In all fairness, it's a completely different situation. I know with my Droid DNA it took MONTHS to see anything other than slightly modded stock ROMs.
I'm sure the Moto X community will pick up in the next few months but that being said i'll probably get a Nexus 5 to satisfy my urges.

New development assist app uses new modified smart actions app and there are rules in here that correspond to assist actions but using the ones they have all I can do is confuse the phone..... There are also strange actions that don't do anything except if in the driving sleeping meeting actions ....in the pictures I'm sitting at my desk but in the status bar you can see I'm "driving" but no texts are read and music didn't start either....

Edit the command i got to open the assist engine is

su? idk i just used it
[email protected]:/ # am start com.motorola.contextual.smartrules2/.app.AboutActivity
AOV is Touchless Controls
I believe LED is Active Notification
use with caution i probably messed up my assist just now

Is anyone still working on this by chance? The only thing about my Moto X that I wish was different is having the ability to switch having the phone read my texts aloud on and off at will. I'm surprised that such a useful feature is limited to only driving when there are so many situations where it would be useful. Being able to do this without needing root access would be ideal.

This would be very useful and definitely be awesome for a work environment.

I am going to try and do it again. I have some new ideas on how to do it!
Will post in here and make a new thread if profit is achieved :fingers-crossed:

I would defiantly donate $10 for this.
