In regards to app transfer process, has anyone experienced difficulties after a transfer of ownership was done?
We are developing an app for a client, who have an existing app being hosted and managed by a 3rd party vendor. We need to understand the process of helping the client get ownership of the current app and then with the same name of the app, push our (new) binaries as an update to the app. The key thing is that there should not be any disruption to the current service and the transition to the new app is transparent to the users – All reviews, ratings etc. remain the same.
- What are the key information transfers that must happen during transfer of ownership of an app (Keys, version no. etc.)?
- If new update to an app is completely different in architecture, is there an approval process from Google Play to go through? If yes, how long does this usually take?
So to summarize, ‘V’ is the third party vendor hosting the app named ‘X’ for our client ‘C’. We (Dev company ‘D’) want to replace the current app with our implementation, but retaining the existing app name, customer base, reviews, ratings etc. such that existing users just get a notification to upgrade their existing app and it changes to the new app once they download.
Thanks!
Hi,
I can find nothing relevant on XDA about this. I suggest you contact Google...

Good day, I am new to this forum.
I'd like to ask about the possibility and the general way to do my project.
My project includes an application running on a PC(w/ Windows of course). and an android app wirelessly connected to the PC. Both application should be able to communicate with each other sending and receiving request from each other. I'm particular with database. How can they access the same database located on the PC. Also, can the android access files like pictures from the PC and use it in the app. I'll really appreciate any help becuase this is very crucial for my graduation
I don't know if this is the best place to post this but I'm desperate
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I am looking for a secure contact (and related misc. information) manager/phone-address book that encrypts the database and protects its records from other apps as well as in case of the phone being lost. This is for Android.
I've been looking for such an app for quite some time and in various sources. I found some people asking for something similar, but with no answers. I also found some "secure wallet" programs that could almost do the trick, except that they store secure information but no people's contacts. While, of course, I can record phone numbers (and addresses) in a free-note format, that wouldn't allow easy dialing of those numbers, or easy copying of the addresses to the navigation apps (Google Maps, Waze, etc.).
None of the contacts managers I found offer encryption/protection.
I thought XDA-developers would be a good place to find a reference to such an app, but so far, I couldn't find any discussion about those. I am surprised why nobody is interested in such an app. Or am I just looking in a wrong way?
I'd appreciate to be pointed to the relevant forum/discussion, and if one doesn't exist, - to the right forum where I can ask about one.
Hi,
As this isn't really a device specific question, I suggest you ask here...

Good luck!
I did some quick searching and I did not find much on this specific topic.
I need to have a tablet, Windows or Android, that can make VOIP calls internally to our office.
Of course we can use Skype or one of the many other VOIP services. But we also want the application to look "professional" and "customized" to our office (Our logo, matching color scheme, ect.)
We do not have the resources to hire a developer to build an app for us.
I've seen some incredible themes made for android, IE Themer. And by my understanding it shouldn't be to far fetched of a thought that there is a barebones VOIP app capable of being themed.
Thanks for the help! First time poster, so I assume I've made many errors. #Clueless

Hello, I hope this question meets the requirements for this forum, we really could use some advice.
I support users of various Android devices (mostly Samsung tablets, 5.1/6.0) and we frequently encounter reports of app behavior that is not (easily) reproducible-- crashes, freezes, etc-- and because we only get these reports after the fact, or cannot remote in the moment using Mobicontrol due to state of the device or poor connectivity, we can only attempt to surmise what might have happened instead of knowing for certain what did. Logcat files don't really help us because we cannot connect via adb for geographically distant users, and we need to have such a session running to capture the condition but we cannot know in advance when it might occur. Furthermore, these users are not technically proficient in the least so we cannot rely on their information or trust that they can reliably follow directions beyond simple point and click interface elements.
Root is not an option for us so whatever tool or method might be recommended must meet the following criteria:
-Run unattended, but can be scheduled start/stop
-Should impact system resources minimally so it doesn't possibly contribute to performance issues
-Should keep a rolling log of CPU. RAM, events, etc that is automatically purged to avoid buildup of unnecessary logs, say 24 hours, or configurable interval
-Ideally would email log, with user description/annotation, to preconfigured recipient list upon command from local or remote user when app performance warrants
-License would need to permit us to deploy on "suspect" devices via apk push via Mobicontrol package rules, not Play store, for between 5 and 10 devices as needed
I am hoping to find what the offending app(s) are, under what specific conditions the users experience the interruptions to their work, and what the actual experiences are-- is slow performance being experienced as a freeze? Is an app trying to connect to a network when none is available? Etc. Again, we can't rely on our users to accurately assess and describe what led up to the crash or freeze and unless we are connected via Mobicontrol when it happens we cannot get the details later without such a tool as described above.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thank you

Hello, I have installed a custom ROM (6.0.1 w/ root access, etc) on my Android TV device (Google ADT-1) and I have some general Android questions (I think they are general questions) about adding some specific apps, as well as customizing the view on my TV. Here are my questions:
- Can anyone recommend a task killer app? I'm looking for something simple that just closes all of the open apps. Basically an app that once I click on the icon, it just closes all of the open apps (I don't need it to do anything fancy like closing system apps, etc).
- Can anyone recommend a reboot app? I'm looking for an app that once you click on it, it will ask you if you want to reboot, power down, etc. Simple and easy again is all I need.
- For the next one, I'm not sure of the correct wording, but I'm looking for something that will allow me to resize (make smaller) the Android viewing screen on my TV. If you look at the attached photo of my TV, you can see that when viewing something simple like the clock settings, you can see that it is cropped. Is there an app, or setting in Android that I can make the viewing area smaller?
- Lastly, is there are way to add a app 'shortcut' an desktop? Currently, if I want to open an app (speedtest, vpn app, etc), I need to go into the 'App Drawer' to open any of the mentioned apps - is there a way to create a 'shortcut' to add to the 'desktop' (again, I'm sure this is the incorrect wording).
Sorry for asking so many questions on one thread.

I don't have the Chromecast but, the following area of the forum is specific to this device.

Your best bet is to post this question within the following thread.

Ibuprophen - thank you for you reply. I 'think' most of my requests for apps are general Android ones. I don't think they need to be specific to Chromecast, Android TV, etc. That being said, I will definitely keep the link and thread in mind for my questions.
