Does this app really work. I tryed it but it made no differance at all. What does it do to free up memory on your phone.
I love the fact that there is a free one on there and the main purpose of developer making the second one is so we didnt have to pay for the other one lol. I dont really notice any difference but hey second one is free!!!
I laughed my ass off when I read the devs sole purpose from making his app. I went and looked at the app he targeted and that one is now flooded with 1star ratings and hate comments. I love the dev rivialy going on!!!
Hey Folks,
I created a WordPress theme to promote your windows phone apps or games. It has the native metro style with theme colors and a screenshot carousel. You can check it out at http://www.wp7wordpressthemes.com
Thanks
awesome theme =] thumbs up!!
but its super expensive ><
Awesome theme...I would love to try it out on my blog..but it's not intended for blogger. Developer will love your theme for sure
I actually got similar feedback from developers and reduced the price from $29.95 to $9.95. Do you think this is a more reasonable price?
Yup...this is a much better price tag...Give it out for free to some good developers as a review copy..In return, you will get a review of your app, which may help you in increasing the sales.
Contact some famous developers via PM and offer this theme to them..There's nothing wrong in that.

Do you have any suggestions on which developers or should I reach out to them based on game popularity?
Contact some application developer over here. You can find many threads in here. You can also provide free giveaway or similar stuff. Try contacting wmpoweruser.com, wpcentral.com, 1800pocketpc.com or other popular blogger about your offer.
Thanks for your feedback. I contacted wmpoweruser.com and I actually got featured. Also the theme was featured on WP Dev Podcast.
Sales are picking up slowly but I am sure it will get better with time. Providing my clients with updates to the theme is also helping.
I am working on a different version of the theme as well.
Glad to hear that it helped you to increase your sales. There are lot more things to be done

If you have a problem buying apps, dont ever expect us to have the quality of iPhone apps. Its bad enough that android owners are seen as too cheap to support app development.
Let's be honest, why would more developers start developing for android when they can't make the money to make it worth their time. If you have a problem with paying 10 cents, don't expect android to ever have the quality of iPhone. App developers on iPhone can get up to $10 for their app, and android has problems getting users to pay 10 cents. Where do you think the majority of app development is going to take place?

Beautiful Widgets is a great app that I purchased at full price a long time ago and was definitely worth the money. Support your favorite apps. Try them out for free and if you like them, support the developer. The future of android depends on developers getting support or developers will stop developing and we will be stuck with a bunch of apps that are developed by high school and college kids who will eventually follow the money.

Damn dude, harsh comment but so true. Its makes you want to go on about how we Android users need to stop being cheap.
I've actually purchased beautiful Widgets 3 time prior @ full price because my Google acct didn't save that app. It was the only paid app it didn't save. I purchased it repeatedly only for the fact of supporting development. I agree 100 percent in supporting developers. I've donated chose paying for apps instead of getting them for free. I'm giving out the information for people to do what they please with, along with everyone else. If people want to never have to pay for anything, then they will be that way regardless. People need to truly appreciate what these developers. Give thanks, give feedback and always always always donate if possible.

I agree about paying and donating. What's really crazy is how people complain about ads in free versions. I think its great, if its an app I use but not often then I'll deal with adds, if I use it a lot I'll buy it. Either way, support the devs

I agree. It's like some people expect the app developers to develop for free. While some may, its not an effective way to get better apps on our market.
One thing that I do with some paid apps that interest me but don't offer a free version to try out, is download it from one of the free sites then if I like it, I buy it, and if I dont, it gets deleted. One app that I highly suggest doing that for is the 3d SPB Launcher that costs $15.(personally think that development company got greedy by charging that much for a home launcher without offering a trial version for users to try out before spending that much on an app)

Nice app + right Ads Network = profit
There are many mobile ad networks worth trying.
i.e. you can try out Leviteo Mobile Affiliate Network - more details at leviteo.com
The most important thing is to have a nice idea!
Then your app has to have a nice design and be smart!
After you developed the App you can sell it via Playstore or/and use ads in your app.
You have to make your App "famous" and get many people who are using this App.
If you have people who are using the app you can list in the App other Apps from you and recommend your Apps to them.
So you have a small Community
Important things
Develop a nice app
Get the right ads network
Advertise the app

According my experience you need to develop easy to use, professional looking and easy to understand app, but keep in mind to do what people looking for, for example take pool game, go to google play, look how many pool games with keyword "pool game" then see comments, if are great you can resegment the game like so : "pool game on ice" so if people look for pool games and ice find you game, and if your game is also cool, you have a great probabilities to gain good money
I have sintetized a really huge argument... but warning to create a really cool great idea game... for my experience don't works
This does not work anymore! The substratum team patched the template so there's no possible way to circumvent this anymore. Any requests to pm me or email me will be met with extreme annoyance and anger. It does not work, it will not work, and no I won't make an exception for you!
I was curious about this myself. Who does the $2 go to and why did they have a monopoly on it?

You may be able to do this legally, but it's kind of a **** move since it's those devs work and you're giving it away for free which ofc you're allowed to but it's just kind of a **** move.

I love You!
I hate that annoying pop-up so much. You can't even use half working legacy mode for free anymore . And I wanted to buy that sungstratum addon but I couldn't use my paypal with my google play account and ugh. Thanks a lot!
Great work
Unfortunately I already paid for it haha
Substratum is great don't get me wrong but I don't see why Samsung users got the charge? Especially when it's a lot more limited for us. That doesn't make sense to me.
I did question it this was my reply
Edit: sorry for the DPI :laugh:
NEW RELEASE: Mod edit: link removed
Since Sub's dev said this, I had to patch again to make it look like it has TouchWiz addon installed
Now it looks like this:
The app always shows me an error when i try to apply any layer from any theme.
Even Substratum StatusBar Icons for Samsung from XDA.
I've unistalled the 2$ addon and official substratum.
LOGCHAR:
APK could not be signed
Thanks for your work.

what kinda dumb question is that? that money goes straight to the substratum team, that people who spent a lot of time and work on that theme engine. what do u expect who would get the money of it? its as legit as charging money for a simple theme. why do they have the monopoly of it? maybe because no one else was able to bring up a working theme engine just as feature-rich and system-compatible as substratum is. go ahead, create your own engine and make it even better as subs, then there is no monopoly any more. but in the mean time value developers work! we should be glad to have such a great project like substratum. u guys are just hurting yourself. - what do u guess will happen if everyone would act in such a ungrateful way as u guys just did? passion get lost, people stop developing great projects and we all end on unthemed, stock ui using, aweful looking smartphones. - da **** is going on ya minds? not just pirating that addon ....no u just even create a thread here on xda to spread your cancer....i feel sorry for everyone who uses that much energy just to avoid to pay two ****ing bucks....you guys seem to have a tough life.
this is clear sharing of warez and was already flagged and forwarded by me.

You just don't understand what warez is then. This is a fork of the get that is published under the gpl3. And is part of open source projects. The issue is that if you have any manufacture but Samsung the app is free. Making it a paid add-on should be a violation on xda itself as it's against the policy. Furthermore it drives down theme purchases as well when you have to purchase the key just to test themes. In app donations vs forced purchase is a better route.
Even making themes for subs is harder because you would have to invest in their app now to contribute to the theme library, but we all are entitled to opinions.
I guess if subs didn't want their work to be forked they would build closed source and become proprietary, I mean he was a contributor to the project itself as well btw so I guess that becomes irrelevant now ey? Oh well..
I support the maintiaing of free open source projects, ask for donations and in app purchases for pro features etc, remove nag messages etc. This was the only way I would support any app imo.

Completely agree!!
Thank you for your input
it is a little unfair for the 2.00 Samsung only charge but I'm told its a lot more time and work the theme the Samsung skins. not sure if that's true but if it is indeed a fact, i understand the extra charge for Samsung only. i paid the 2.00 because for its worth it due to the lack of mods you can do on a newer Samsung device. yes we have root but the cons outweigh the pros for me anymore to do root. Not trying to start a war and I'm not against this thread or anything, just saying we don't know the reasoning behind the 2 dollar charge

Pretty much all of the samsung substratum themes are paid for, The 2 .00 addon charge will NOT go to these people adding Samsung support to there themes, it will go to Substratum devs, the ones that give it to everyone else for free just not to Samsung users
IMO the only reason for this secondary app is to charge people for an app they made the mistake of making free and open source. As you can see it works fine without it.
already paid
it was silly of them to require that other app even though i'm rooted
this doesnt work
it always shows errors in installtion themes.
So sad a dev can't make a little money from his hard work because entitled butt hurt children disagree. I have many free things on xda and charge for my themes. I work hard on getting it updated yet it gets patched free too I feel it's stealing from developers hard work. You don't want to use it..root and use custom Rom. Get a phone that can. Be a team player but that's just me.

So, everybody who wants to use substratum on touchwiz is required to buy an addon from the google play store for two dollars. I don't like that. The themers don't benefit from it, nor was samsung support a huge problem to get going. I patched out the requirement for it, and am uploading the apk for it.
Now before people get all up in arms about this, I'm legally able to do this. The code is released under GNU GPLv3, and I can make modifications all I'd like as long as I share the source. (Here, for reference)
You'll need to uninstall the default substratum app and replace it with mine, other than that, it's the same app. As Substratum updates, I will too.

People like u are the reason open source development isn't as popular it should be; do something unique and u get your work stolen with a technicality. You're not doing this for yourself but you're actively trying hurt the only "livelihood" of Substratum developers because you're used to stealing software, movies, MP3s and stuff, am I right?
U have 700-800$ phone, and complain for a full theme engine for 2$.
It's one thing to take GPL-licensed work and remove the requirement for the add-on app. It's entirely another to make it look like it's an "official" release so as to try and get support from the substratum team, when they specifically said they won't support modified builds.
Thread closed.
Please do not contact the OP regarding the patched version, as he will not be distributing it.
