This should be in general, but supposedly, you will be able to sideload apps. So say the rumors

Amazon app store does not have all apps. I recently looked for dice player and chromemarks since I had extra cash on my gift card and could not find them. Hopefully that changes in Nov when it releases.

Someone will probably intogtate the android market once it gets rooted and a custom rom comes out. I'll be getting it and will want to root it asap

Amazon App store
I installed the Amazon App store on my tablet but when I tried to download a free app I was informed I was in an unsupported market: Canada.
I beleive (assuming) this has to do with copyright laws. A lot of their kindle devices aren't available in Canada due our different copyright laws.
Something to look into if you are counting on the app store.

If you do infact live in canada, Check out the unblock-us.com service. You'd be able to set it up on your kindle fire assuming you can change the DNS address book.

I just got the Fire today. I went to install Ultimate Tabs, which I had purchased on the Android Market and had previously installed on my HTC Eris and then my HTC Incredible 2.
With the Fire, you have to use Amazon's App Market, so I went looking for Ultimate Tabs there and found it. But now they want me to pay for it again!
Now, I can see if I had it installed on an iphone previously, but this is supposed to be another Android device. Why should I have to pay for it twice? Anyone know of a way around this (besides sideloading the apk) that's legitimate?

I saw a thread telling me how to root it and install the Android Market. But then I saw another thread saying that rooting kills the Fire's ability to stream Amazon Prime videos. I don't know whether it's worth it. Maybe I should just shut up and pay the 2.99, but it's the principle of the thing lol.
if you already have it on another android device, u can extract the apk from there and side load it to Fire

I was able to root the Kindle Fire, install the Marketplace. Then unroot the Kindle Fire and watch Amazon VOD still. and the marketplace works, My google account even recognizes it as a Kindle Fire
Just as an FYI. I got my G3 the day it came out and I was able to talk the AT&T store near my office to honor the .99 cent promotional deal for the G Pad 7.0.
Essentially the deal is buy any new LG phone (G2, G3 or Flex) and you get a G Pad 7.0 LTE for .99 cents. You will need to add it as a line on your plan, but that's just $10 a month for me and I got a nice LTE tablet.
YMMV.
Edit: adding link to promo post
http://blogs.att.net/consumerblog/story/a7795961
Interesting. I was thinking about this promo and my biggest concern was that I had already bought the G3. Also I bought it at best buy. I know best buy does price matching. I'm just trying to get a deal!
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Bestbuy has a 30 day return policy. If you are under that they should allow you to return it. If not bestbuy should price match for you.
*Devices must be purchased together.

Best buys return policy on cell phones are different. I think it was either 2 days or 2 weeks, as explained to me by the BB rep that I dealt with
I'm an AT&T employee, can confirm this offer is valid.
Details:
LG G Pad 7.0 tablet
Upfront: $1
2 year contract required: Yes
Activation fee: Yes, $40 on next bill
Monthly increase: $10/month for Mobile Share Value plans (shared existing bucket of data), $20-$50/month for old-school nationwide talk plans depending on how much data you want for the tablet.
Regular retail price: $250
I got one. It's cool and all but I want to root it already

Update: I stopped by an at store today to see if they had the folio case for the G3 in stock and the rep walked me over to the LG section. He started telling me about the promo for 50% off of the watch as well as the G Pad. He asked me how long ago I got my phone and I told him not too long ago and he said that I would be able to qualify for the 99 cent promo. He asked me if I had gotten the phone at an att store and I told him the truth. I told him I bought it at best buy. He said he believed I would still qualify but asked his manager. His manager said he would honor the price for me!!! I was able to walk out of the store with the G Pad 7.0 for 99cents plus tax! #winning
I noticed there aren't any forums yet for the 7.0 though. Im itching to root too! Lol
Just bought a LG 3. I got the tablet for 99 cents! Stone cold deal.
I would have done this, but I really don't want to add another $10 a month to my bill...plus I have a great tab..Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 EDITION......but for a buck it's worth that lol

Thanks for the updated info on this! I also posted on the reddit. I was also able to successful root using purpledrake on OSX. I had to change the usb input to ptp from mtp, once I did that everything else worked like a charm and am now rooted!! I also let the guys know in the purpledrake forum to update their compatible device list.
Glad i wasn't the only one willing to take the plunge. I just wish there was something like the G3 TweaksBox available for it already but xposed will just have to do

You can actually install G3 tweaks box and I've found a lot of it works for our gpad. I also installed LG emojis changer and that worked without a hitch. I tried changing the colors of the nav buttons on the bottom didn't work but I was able to change the battery. Center clock, custom carrier. Check out it. I think a lot of the stuff made for the G3 will work on the gpad.

I installed tweaksbox last night as well. Haven't messed with much but more status bar options worked than I thought would so after work I'm going to test some more changes out
I just got mine. I got the G3 on release day but went into AT&T and asked about the promotion and they gave it to me. I paid $1.08 out of pocket.
Also, rooted successfully with Purpledrake.

Is there a problem with using Softcard/Isis Wallet on a rooted phone since they changed their name to Softcard? I never tried it under the Isis Wallet name so I don't know if it worked then or not. I am unable to run Softcard now because it detects that I am rooted. I have Xposed Framework. I have tried Root Cloak and Isis Root Bypass. Neither one seems to work. Any ideas?

Does anyone know how yo make this work on a non US model G3? I have the apk but it won't install when I move it to the system/app and change permissions to 644 (rw-r-r). I would like to use it on my Korean G3 cat 6 but right now it only works on my D850.

It will only work on T-Mobile,att or Verizon phones. They have a special file that reads the enhanced sim card. Maybe they will allow it now that Apple pay is competing, this way they can get it on more phones.

Updates
My app updated yesterday (automatically because of the local wifi) as I was at the store and ready to pay and all of a sudden my phone was freezing because it was updating all the settings..
Well after I got my phone to work and the app to reopen, it said it couldnt open because it was rooted. I had already used a different method of cloaking my root but it seemed to have not worked with the newer version.
My question is...
Will this keep working even if the app updates again?
That way I dont have to go through the same trouble of having to look online for another solution
Root cloak doesn't work anymore. The Softcard app was recently updated and it is back to giving me the error about not working with rooted phones. Are there any other cloaking programs that work?
Super SU. Settings. Check uninstall root. Wait. Open soft card after. Use. Go back to Super SU. Uncheck box. Profit.

I'm using Root Clock 1.4 and it still works for me. In fact I've been using my Softcard a lot recently given the "$10 back for every 5 clicks" offer going on now till the end of the year. $1.08 (with tax) coffee at McDonalds = $3.00 back to me in the end with this latest offer.

Has anyone been successful in getting the Softcard app working on any non-stock 4.4.4 ROM? It FCs when I try to use it on the CM build. I'm just curious if others have experiences similar issues and if anyone has determined a way to get it to work.
Thanks!

I am using t-mobile enhanced SIM card on my At&T phone. But when I access the T-mobile softcard app, it says that to use softcard, I need a different sim card. I tried changing few properties in build.prop but no luck yet.
Hasn't anyone been able to work their softcard app in another carrier's device?

That's not going to work. If the phone is not on the list it will not work. I think the phone contacts the network and confirms the phone. No way around that.

Nice. Even better!
I just walked out of my local att store. The theme settings are there unlike on Verizon but the usual flood of bloat apps are all there. It's as bad as a go phone. None would let me Uninstall and several are also unable to be disabled such as the stock Twitter app. I looked at the storage setting and a fresh G4 has over 1.2GB of apps installed with only 21GB free space.
Wait for root. And just kick them out.
Root will do it sure, but for now I'm holding off getting it. If the att model gets root that will be enough for me. Having Google play edition m7 and m8 had just spoiled me to much I guess..
Here is hoping for a root very shortly. I am due for an upgrade and it is either the G4 with root 8 wait for the new Nexus phones. Currently nothing else on the market meets my requirements, that could change of course.

Strange you can't disable twitter. I was able to.
I think the only things I couldn't disable were a couple LG apps. Overall, bloat isn't a big deal for me as long as it isn't using resources or draining battery.

So why did you buy the AT&T version instead of the unlocked version if you hate bloat so much?
I didnt end up getting it, still debating on it. I only tried the demo at the AT%T store, but would think its the same as a retail one. Strange that Twitter gives an error when you select to disable it. Glad thats not the case on a retail model though.
I hate bloat and branding but settled for the ATT version because it was easier to come but and ultimately, more compatible with their network.
Every ATT app can be disabled except for their Address Book and Remote support. Really not that big of a deal.
I do hate that apps like Twitter, Uber, and Amazon get bundled in. I've never used Twitter or Uber and prefer to use Amazon's site.

Amazon is the only one of those I use, but I never understand why they put a different Amazon app preloaded on phones. I disable it and get the one from the play store.
Ordered a black leather one today. Can't wait to get it and root it. If it's half as good as my Nexus 5 that finally died, I'll be happy.

The international version supports AT&T's LTE bands (2, 4, 5, 17). You will probably lose VoLTE support though.
It also doesn't support band 30, AT&T's new upcoming band. AT&T version does.
Ultimately, I went for what was readily available to me.
Creating this in hopes for our own sub section and discussion since we get as much love as Trump out here. Lol. Yes, I came from the LG G3 so I should know.
So, how much do you guys like the V20?
And does anybody know what happens after you go past the measly 5gb hotspot sprint is giving out?
Oh yeah, any status on root progress or unlocked bootloader?
I will have my sprint v20 this week. I know chainfire got SuperSU installed on the Tmobile variant. We have to wait and see what happens on sprint.
Sprint variant is missing a much of stock apps. Email being one of them. AT&T V20 has a stock email app.
I think it is also missing stock gallery app. too...

Sprint removed all fastboot features of phone. We cannot access the bootloader unfortunately. OEM Unlock is in developer options how ever but it doesn't do anything.

Them letting Sprint gimpo the phone by removing the email app and galery app is rediculous. There are a lot of people like me coming from note 7 who were on the fence between the larger size of the LG v20 and the familiar samsung experience of the s7 edge. Realizing the email and gallery app and god knows what else is removed by sprint might just be the straw that breaks the camels back to get me to return this for an s7 edge plus, or just run my note 4 till the s8 comes out. rediculous!

All the threads are explaining that the apps cant be sideloaded onsprint version. If you have a workaround please share.
I sideloaded the gallery app just fine. I didn't sideload any email apps cause I using Inbox and Gmail app. Don't know who is having issues but as long as the apk file is pulled out and you install the apk (not some flashable zip which won't work on any unrooted phone) should work just fine.

Thank you! The gallery app worked. The email one would make my day if anyone can find a working apk the ones ive tried say they are corrupt and cant be installed
Once people start rooting the Tmobile version I assume we can get the apk files from them. I also assume at some point LG and Sprint will push an update giving us these apps as well.

I uploaded the music apk and the email apk , using several methods, yet people said the devices showed the file as corrupted as if Tmobile did something to the apps, or Sprint probably has different signatures for the apps. i checked the files for corruption and it came out clean.
I don't think it is possible to simply pull an apk out of a flashable zip and get it to install correctly. It has been my experience in the past with other phones that never worked for me. We need a true apk file maybe saved by TB or some other backup type program.
The bigger issue is that messaging app and email app are probably system apps and without root we will never be able to get those to be that sideloading them.

I'm surprised you guys are that worried about it, I haven't used stock email apps in years and for a gallery app, took all of 5 seconds to look on the play store for a decent one
If you have that new ad blocker, turn it off then try to install apks.
Ad blocker requires root right? So none of us have that.
I don't care about stock email or messaging, but rather was just trying to dissuade people from returning their phone just because of that small (IMHO) oversight.
Coming from the Note 7 this phone, the V20 is disappointing, but there isn't a phone out there like the Note 7, so I'll wait it out a year or two with this one and hope Samsung has their act together then.

The new ad blocker doesn't require root. Search the v20 threads. Plus I've been notified that the bug I mentioned had been reported.
Welp. I've jumped ship. Went to tmobile due to hotspot. After those 5 gb Sprint gives, its too slow to even run Chromecast.
