I just rooted my samsung captivate and got "super permission" folder to my phone. so what is the next process in order to get 3rd party apps and games?
Apps and games? You get them from the market like usual. Most will say ' for root only'

Did you really just ask this question?
Most people do what the second poster suggested, you can use the android market or appbrain or even just look for apk's online and see what works. Is this your first mobile phone ever or are you pulling our legs I should mention you do not need to be rooted in order to get games and apps on your phone, only certain games and apps require the phone to be rooted.
yaa
This is my first "Android" mobile that's why i don't have enough information about it.
Thanks though

Just giving you hell haha. If you haven't already found out android market is tied to a gmail account. appbrain is an app you can download which is also very popular and it is too many better then the android market app.
Guys...he asked how to get 3rd party apps. Sheesh, you act like he's stupid. Refer to this for enabling 3rd party apps:

P.S. I would recommend you use method two, way easier and much less of a risk for you to mess something up. Also, here is a video tutorial for method two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo9BIRXvNfw&feature=related

Bud, the original post was edited after our comments so how about you pay attention to what is going on. Secondly some good ribbing is all that was going on prior to the op changing their question. So get off your horse and kick yourself if you think we are being too hard, I know I wasn't. Here is the original quote that if you would have read my first post you would have seen what they asked.

No problem, I just try to read posts before being a complete asshole to people.
I bought ROM manager premium through the paypal link in the app. Now that i've moved back to the N1 from the NS (i bought it when i was on the NS), i don't see any way to activate premium features without paying again. am i missing something?

I'm not a Twitter pro or anything... but I think as long as you preface your tweet by @koush, he'll see your message and will probably respond. He's a good guy and won't screw you over...so just get in touch with him.
ok thanks guys just did it. hope it works.
Does the rom transfer between phones? Just asking--
Can you copy your TB backup or whole sd card from the s to n sd card so the n sees those apps and knows you have rom mgr

You can probably also get his email by clicking on 'Send email to the developer'.
Actually, just checked, you don't even have to click on it. His email is right there on the page.
You know every app on the Market has the developer's email, right?

yeah i knew about that, but i'm still getting used to the new market layout (that, and a brain fart). I tried the website but it looks like it's no longer up. thanks again everyone!
Now i feel really dumb, esp. since i've gotten help from other app devs the same way in the past.
Sorry, I just re-read my message and it sounds kind of snarky. Don't feel bad for forgetting about that, everyone has brain farts.

thanks for the apology, but i didn't take it that way.
Honestly, after seeing your response the first time, I just felt so dumb. I didn't get the app from the market, but I should've known to check there anyway.
dude doesn't respond to tweets or emails. Starting to piss me off.
if i would have known trying to save 1 dollar was gonna cause me this much headache.....
join the crowd
never got a response
now use amon_ra
I have the exact same problem. I tried to contact him by email but he does not reply. Will try to contact him via Twitter.
It really pisses me off.
Just wanted to see if this got rectified? I recently did the reverse of the OP. Switched from the Nexus One up to the Nexus S. Premium isn't showing up on the NS.
nope. I just won't support the dev anymore. if one really wants to pay for this app, go thru the market. the dollar isn't worth the headache.
also waiting for response
i also buyed via Paypal cause i dont have a credit card (Market only accept Credit-card)
i changed rom and cannot activat premium features
will try to get money back from paypal (45days!)
hope he will response in next few days
greetings
If it were me, I would find alternative means of getting the software. You already paid for the license. If the dev don't wanna support his own product, either don't use it, or find another place to download it. There are many places to obtain android apps.
I don't like spreading this because I support the developers and truly appreciate the work they do. But I also don't like to see ppl cheated out of their money whether it was intentional or not. I'll tell you how to get that app from the market without paying. Just shoot me a pm.

I am another person who bought via PayPal, thinking it would save me $1 and put more $ in the developers pocket rather than the Android market taking it. I originally purchased it back in January 2011 and now cannot get my new device to show that it is the premium version without purchasing on the Android Market... Did anyone find a solution to this or get a reply from Koush?
First off, I apologize if I come off as "noobish". I joined this site about 10 minutes ago. Anyway, last week I left my Samsung Captivate unattended (like the drunken fool I am), someone guessed my pattern too many times and now I'm at the "too many pattern attempts" screen and of course I do not have a Google account. From my understanding, after readin some threads on here, one of the solutions is to use the ODIN program to flash the phone, is that correct? And also, is there any possible way, via ODIN or some other program, for me to view my text messages before I flash it and lose everything? I would very much like to know the contents of the texts I've been receiving all week. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this, and perhaps help me out.
The too many pattern attempts only locks the phone for a set time. Sounds to me like you "found" a phone that you want help with. Why not take it to at&t and have them return it or ask them for assistance if you are indeed the rightful owner.
I can assure you I'm the righful owner. I left my phone unattended at a party and my fantastic friends tried guessin my pattern too many times. I'm now stuck at a screen where you have to enter your Google account. Like a dumbass I didn't create a Google account when I first purchased the phone. So now I'm locked out of my phone for good. And I've already been to AT&T. We tried the hard reset, and just does not work and they won't give me a new phone.
**** flashed with Odin and create a new Google acc or call art and said that u lost the phone and paid those 125 but u still can keep the phone u have now and sell it truogh Craigslist or some place like that !

So you've NEVER gone to the android market? That's the first thing anyone does that has a Droid phone.
you sir are not smart enough to trick us real owners. Google account creation is required to access the market. you telling us you've never tried to access the market?

There are ways around this.........OP I don't think your going to get any help here.......
So just get on a computer and create a Google gmail account. It does not have to be created by your phone. Once you have created your account, you can then enter your gmail ID when the phone prompts for it.
But I agree. Something is fishy with this story.

So its going to verify whatever he puts in there to a "blank" file, it won't match The point of entering the Gmail account is a second means of verification, if there is no account registered to the phone, it won't work.
His best bet is to return the phone to its owner.....the dead give away that it is not his, is that he has not had it for a week...who can go a week without their Captivate?
Agreed....return to owner

I haven't posted because I have been quite busy with work and school. I have accessed the Market before. But it never asked me to create a Google Account. Not that I remember anyway. I wish there was a way for me to prove to y'all I am very sincere about my situation. I really do need help with this. It is true, I have been locked outta my phone for over a week now and it is drivin me crazy. But I'm explorin other options that doesn't cost money, like the ODIN program, that was what I really wanted to know about. Anyway, judgin by all the post, I'm some evil asshole tryin to get into someone else's phone. Which, I guess, is somewhat understandable, and with y'all not knowin me or me not bein able to show proof of my sincerity, I guess I can't be too upset about the accusations. I guess, I will just download the ODIN program, try to find some steps on how to use it and see if I can't mess my phone up even more.
There's a freaking thread dedicated to odin in the dev forum. Read search comprehend.
And there is no way at all that you used the market without a google account.

I think you are straight up lying. dude, att isn't going to just say "sorry, can't help you" if its really your phone. plus, Google account creation is (almost) unsurpassable when you insert sim card for first time. please tell us how you used market without Google account because im pretty sure its more secure than that(especially for situations like the one you brought here).
if its truly your phone, go to att tomorrow, give them the last four of your social security no. and they will be more than happy to reset your phone.
btw none of the people who use XDA frequently have ever come across someone who hasn't created a Google account for market use.

It was suposed to pick up the radio signals from near by phones and decrypt them and allow you to listen in on the calls made from it and also look through the contents of the phone.

If it was not an April Fools prank then it was almost definitely very illegal.
Listening into other cell phones would fall under wiretap ordinance. It might be a bluetooth hack, which would still be illegal but not as bad, since you are talking about looking through the contents of a phone. Bluetooth (short of a exploit) would not let you look through the phone arbitrarily either though.
Even if this kind of an app was real, why in the world would you install it? Seems like just asking for serious trouble, serious as in jail time serious.

except CIQ is more than just a couple of apks. it is in the kernel also. tied in deeply with HTC Sense also. this goes beyond just a couple of apks that you can remove when you root.

But the one from US carrier stock version has this, so looks like carrier regulation in Canada or the app/rootkit is naming something else.
