Anyone else tired of this guy? He's cluttering up the market with .99-4.99 apps ...ehrmm... pictures. They're not even his images.
Who in their right mind would pay for pictures you can find on Google?
If you're reading this Sapphire... do us a favor and work on something other than pictures of Corollas. It's annoying having to go through 30 of your so called apps in order to see what's new.
I agree. Is this the same guy who flooded the market in the early days with $4.99 apps that only had pictures etc in them? eg. pictures of cats....
Yeah, they're all the same. Khalid Shaikh/Perfect Acumen/Sapphire Apps. Just a flood of Google-generated images for sale.

Yep... I wish Google would ban this little ****
Paging Dr B endorses this thread.
That guy and his apps are a joke.
You have my vote, but with that handle and avatar i would agree with most things you say no doubt
How about rather than complaining here, you all click on all his apps and press the "report" button. Spam the market mods to ban the douchebag.... *again*. He's already been banned a few times.
I've been reporting every one of his releases I see in the Just In list. I choose other reason then paste in "Spamming the market and selling images without owning copyright"
I'm hoping whoever the reports go to will get just as fed up and some sort of action will be taken. If everyone reports these unwanted rip off apps maybe they'll get the idea
I'm getting really annoyed by these apps, they get re-uploaded every day and take up pages of the market.
I know everybody probably has the following
Advanced Task Manager
Skype
Dolphin/Opera/Miren Browser
But what other little "gems" have you found on the net that now it would be hard to live without.
Free Apps
Freenote What a beauty! Taking meeting notes etc in freehand or Kboard.
Store audio or pictures from the camera straight into a note. mail etc
3CX Sip Phone: Free, Simple and it works!
Dual File Manager: Uppacks Zip files on the fly and intuitive to use.
QuickPic: Much better than gallery able to Hide the directories you don't want to include.
MoboPlayer: Seem to play all the video files I have (WMF, AVI,etc etc)
Wifinder: Quick and easy Wifi control
Swiss Arny Knife: (all the common helpfull stuff in one package) especially the ruler!
Paid Apps
Roadsync: (If you have to interface into outlook, it just works)
Documents to Go: Seems to handle most of the microsoft virus (sorry office) files.
Beautiful Widgets: (Worth the money if your a HTC Sense fan)
Root explorer/total commander and titanium backup are must have apps!
plume,friend me, CNBC, news pres, file manager hd, great battles, talk, pulse, a currency, gamefly, qello, news360, the daily habit there's more....
Note all the apps I stated are fully optimized for the xoom

I didn't ask what was your favourite app "Optimized For Honeycomb" List (Includes games)"
I asked what was your favourite app. Not all apps are optimised and work that well on Xoom. I think of all the apps I mentioned only 5 were on your "Optimised" list
Is this how you get your post count so high?
I know I am a "newbie" on here and thanks for the warm welcome "Senior Member!"
Maybe you should read the thread before jumping down my throat.
Your apology accepted!

Seriously, dude, buzz off. Is that how you increase your post count? Nobody gives a rat's ass about newbies like you. And it IS a redundant thread. Thus, you can go frack yourself.
We are seriously in need of the ban hammer. People need to respect around here.
By the way OP download the Amazon app store and get Fieldrunners. That's my favorite app so far.

Most people here DO NOT have Advanced Task Manager because, well, this is Android. No task killers needed. Of course in certain situations they can be useful, but not just for killing apps to free up memory.

My fav apps on my Xoom (different from my phone) are Newsr, News360, Friend Me, Weather Bug and Plume.
I really like News 360. Great app. Plume is awesome too.

Last I checked this isn't StackOverflow. IMO, the OP is right in this case, and what the hell is the harm if he isn't? This thread is in the right place, and more content can help people find things by chance.
I don't always reply to pseudo-trolls, but when I do, its because you need to get your head out of your ass.
For no particular reason other than general interest and they work well on the Xoom:-

This topic is simple. Share any apps you can think of that are good but aren't available in the regular market (anymore). I'm not necessarily looking for apks, but more like where they can be found. For example, slideme is a kind of market but isn't affiliated with google. Many apps that were on the regular market went there when google pulled them from the regular market. Don't post paid for apps or the market like program that has free to download paid apps, I'm not interested in that. A few that I can think of are music junk, better keyboard, and the "oid" old school console emulators (I forgot the guy's nickname).
In the past, someone got uptight when posting links to apps that were not paid programs but also couldn't be found, at the time, in the regular market. I don't know what to say or suggest about that. It's obvious that I'm NOT talking about warez, okay?! I'm not talking about stuff like swype either. Even though it's not a paid app, the people who police the forum will have a fit even if you talk about where it could be found. I'm not, for the umpteenth time, talking about shady stuff. I'm talking about apps that got the boot on google's official market, for whatever reason, but are on a third party market now for download (free and paid versions). My purpose is just to remind, to those who may have forgotten about cool programs, or people that haven't been in the android scene for very long. I forgot where I saw something similar to this but the responses from other members came up with quite a lot of very cool or useful or essential tools and apps for android. People were like, "oh yeah, I remember that app," or were pleasantly surprised when someone suggested something that was a good find but some people didn't know it existed.
I made my couple of suggestions earlier in this post, so go ahead and suggest away!
bettercut seems to be gone. It's a better version of Anycut that allows you to create custom icons/shortcuts.
Where can one find better keyboard. I paid for it on my Droid 1 and since its gone from the market can't find it anymore. And y on earth was it pulled? Anyone know?
BuzzBox. I know they were blatantly ripping content from news sites and putting it in a standard, ad-free format, but dammit, that was the point!
http://www.betterandroid.wordpress.com/
Has information about other markets too. Slideme.org and amazon. Amazon, I can't get it working even though I have an amazon account and I am in the us. Says it isn't available in my region.
I haven't found any apps yet but I did run across some market alternatives.

Hide My Applist Guide
Hide My Applist is a LSPosed module by Dr-TSNG (nullptr).
Often referred to as HMA.
In the simplest terms HMA aims to stop one app detecting a list of other installed apps.
- It can often help stop your banking app(s) from detecting if you have any of the apps it considers harmful.
- You can also hide installed app(s) from PlayStore.
This is normally helpful for those using modified versions of YouTube.
A quick guide to hopefully make it a little easier for people new to Hide My Applist.
Hide My Applist Guide - [ GitHub ] - Link
Note: This was a quick rewrite. I will update it later this week.
<reserved>
Could you share what apps you hide, personally?
I got everything working, then Shamiko updated and now nothing works again, even after downgrading, it's weird.

Do you mean which do i put on the root template? or which apps i choose to apply the template to?...
for the root template thats suggested in the guide
for those apps i apply the template to, thats also hinted at in the guide
beyond that im not overly fond of people suggesting personal lists as there can be other factors, like the ROM they are on, other magisk modules etc, that make effect the outcome and make what i list not work for them. Even something as benign and completely unrelated to HMA as a font module can give up detection on a ROM. I could give you a list and tell you it 100% it works for me and it could fail for you, due to a completely unrelated issue, and then we're suddenly in a long thread conversation where i start to loathe you personally, and thoughts turn to stabbage....
Thats why i have left it limited above to the usual common suspects
Google Pay/Wallet
Banking apps
Any "detection" apps (see list in Testing HMA section below for common detection apps)
And just to highlight what works for me not work for some, i dont even personally have Google Pay/Wallet in my Magisk Deny List, let alone have the root template applied to it under HMA
Even with the Samsung Apps i have listed, to (try and) work around getting Samsung Health to work (in conjunction with a magisk module) i have several Samsung apps with the root template applied to them, but have never published them because:
a) im not certain which are actually needed to a granular level to recommend
b) im too lazy to find out - i dont really have the spare time to disable this and that and reboot 12+ times and see at what point failure occurs (there are people on here who do that and you should take every opportunity to express your gratitude to them for that level of dedication), id like to have the time and will to do that, but im 51 and so my cup of life is slowing ebbing away, and id rather get more critical jobs done, and work on building a Catio.....
But as a generalisation if one was looking to sidestep issues with say Samsung Wearables/Health it would be safe to assume major core packages like:
Galaxy Watch Manager
Galaxy Wearable
Samsung Accessory Manager
Samsung Health
Wearable Manager Installer
Would be a safe candidate list to at least start with, as they would seem logically to possibly interact
There will always be a bit of try and it and see needed with these things, otherwise the magisk threads would all be exactly 7 pages long (and contain WAY less chastisement of lazy millennials and gen z-er's than they currently do (and less mod interactions too))
Its arguably a better troubleshooting paradigm to embrace sharing what if any issue youre having, than applying a blanket set of settings from someone else and hoping it will work, thats just how i see things personally. We wouldnt have gotten very far as a species if everyone alive at the time saw Ugg the Neanderthal jump into a fire and die then thought that jumping into the fire themselves and deciding to troubleshoot the problem backwards, rather than simply thinking "what if i didnt jump into the fire? what if theres another way?", was a valid thought process
But thats just me, and as noted in the past i have an aspie brain and have been known to view the world differently and approach things differently than others. Some outright call me unhinged...i call myself the next evolution of our species, but then i have a very underdeveloped sense of my own importance....
Earlier tonight, during an at times quite brutal period of introspective self analysis, i had a bit of an awakening at the thought of just how much as changed in the 51 years ive been alive on this planet, and perhaps outlines a little better for those who have copped the "lazy millennial/gen z-er" talk from me over the years, just why....
The following overshare may literally save you (general forum citizens) from me wanting to stab you quite enthusiastically with a very blunt fork:
Anyone born today doesnt have the essential and bedrock understanding that at one point in human history your access to information was limited to sometimes wealth - which gave you access to books. Even when i was a kid, access to a simple map of the globe was limited to the hours the school library was open...if you were lucky you had an encyclopedia set that a door to door salesman came round and flogged (Aussie for sold) to your parents, and that only happened in rich families, not mine.
You were lucky to have textbooks that covered subjects you were studying, and you treated them like babies, and they were then resold at the end of the school year to the next batch of kiddies. Knowledge was expensive.
Being a kid who wasnt diagnosed as being officially 100% certified weird (which is how i proudly badge myself now) with aspergers until i was 38, my early life was very isolated, not least due to a very authoritarian father, but also social anxiety. I didnt learn very well in the structured environment of school, in fact i was largely self-taught, including learning to read. Once i had that nailed, i read every book i could get my hands on. Signs were there early on that i didnt have the stomach to suffer people who i felt were incorrect, as in year 5, when a story i submitted for English came back with a red ring around the world autumnal and the comment "not an actual word", and i felt my English teacher needed to be publicly corrected that it was indeed an actual word and the adjectival form of the word autumn, which i admit must have been a bit much being corrected by a 10yo who was largely non-verbal and even at that early stage the proverbial grey man no one noticed.
My point, after a few admittedly circuitous (and possibly troubling unrelated life) diversions, is that with the sheer access to information that people enjoy now, i am often staggered that people wont do something as simple as read the last 6-12 pages of a thread before posting a question and expecting others to jump to their aid. The change and sheer ease of availability of knowledge that has occurred in my lifetime should elevate people, and yet instead in some cases, it appears to actually do the opposite... are we regressing as a species?. People need to do things like spend less time on twitter and social media having their views decided for them, latching on to emotive and carefully marketed subjects and fed to them, and more time on doing the harder things like reading things that inform and even challenge their views.
Knowledge has never been more free and accessible, and yet its never been less utilised in a way to benefit society. Greed and self importance has largely taken care of that. Even breakthroughs in science and medicine are quickly assessed for the viability to be patented before their positive impact on society. And i literally loathe anyone who sends off their DNA kit to Ancestry.com because they want a pretty chart they can try and claim ancestry to people or a region they never cared 2 actual ****s about before because its trendy to claim 1/32nd Viking ancestry because you watched that Vikings show. Or finding out you had a relative 1,500 years ago who might have originated in Africa because youre white and want to appear more "woke". People like this are contributing to the sale of what it means to be human, entire genomes being patented. Just stop it...for the love of <insert your own personal magical sky fairy here>
And on that note, time to wrap up this very brief reply to your simple question. You caught me at a good time... 5AM (when i started replying) Aussie time, after a night of interrupted sleep, crippling self doubt, overanalysis of everything including my personal failings, but largely societies failings...because if it hasnt yet become clear, the rest of you ARE the problem...
@pndwal would have probably seen this length of post and tangential and rambling excursion coming a mile off
TLDNR version:
I dont personally recommend handing out lists to folks, its just one step short of kiddies who turn up in the Magisk threads having added every Google app to the Deny List
(
inner self: "See, was that so hard was all that nonsense above REALLY necessary
other inner self: "Yes, yes it was, if you dont tell people they were wrong, how will they KNOW?"
)
Also, this is why i dont create a lot of my own threads...
Could you share what pills you take, personally?
I got everything working, then Momo woke me up and now nothing works again, even after hyperventilating, it's weird...
Your name it is heard in high places

And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha

It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn

Just to make sure (you recently posted in Delta thread) - you are not using Magisk Delta?
Bcs, with latest Delta (Zygisk enabled), you don't need Shamiko:

and you should actually not use Shamiko - see the screenshot (btw, I've seen several reports on the Delta TG Discussion channel about troubles with Shamiko)

Thanks.
I had it on my phone, but disabled. I updated it for some reason like an idiot in my Magisk app manager and now it broke everything.
Just one Chinese banking app ICBC is like super crazy aggressive in detecting things. All other apps I can use fine. I just have given up as I think it's a phone issue, as the Snapdragon Note 10 that I use has a janky way to get root and magisk (installing magisk in the recovery itself) which leads to leaks at times.
Make sure you have Android 11+ to ensure apps can't detect sus apps

I can't thank you enough for this guide! Teams, Intune Company Portal, and other annoying banking apps can work properly now! Those were the apps that somehow detects root despite hiding with Zygisk + USNF (modded) and Shamiko.

Hi All!
I'm quite new android games developer. I'm looking for developers community feedback on my first "serious" project.
So, as I'm keen on brain teasers I wanted to create some puzzle game. I've started my research and found out one of old style games called Freeways. So I thoutght that I can improve it from design and car behaviour perspective.
For last couple of weeks I have few thousands of downloads but very few feedback!
And I don't know should I upgrade it further or there is no chance to find my audience....
I've spent like 1 year to make it and absolutly dissapointed that there is now feedback from players. Should I start another project? Another 1 year?
Please advise... Thank you in advance!
Link to my game is here:
Motorways mind logic puzzles - Apps on Google Play
Stack the states in brain teaser IQ puzzle. Memory & thinking car traffic maze.
play.google.com
WYSIWYG.
Feedback, yes well here you go...
Looks like a data miner to me
No reason to know my precise location or browser history, share with 3rd parties or for me not to have the option to delete collected data.
I wouldn't even install it... based on that alone.
The games I have are all firewall blocked
My favorite apps have zero permissions and never request internet service. They are also some of the best.
Hi Blackhawk! That's a feedback already. This is set up of ads mediation I'm using. Probably it stops other users aswell. Probably I need to find another mediator

I know you want sponsorship and to generate revenue. I can understand that. It's a tough business. Poweramp has a good business model and is one of my few gladly paid for apps. A lot of bang for the buck and nothing comes close to it for a stand alone music player.
Unfortunately from a user prospective that degree of data mining is potentially harmful. Personally I won't tolerate it... no app is worth that. All social media and shopping apps are banned from my devices. Done that for a decade now. One of the first things I targeted when I started using Androids.
