Amazon free app of the day(7/21) - Captivate Themes and Apps

Hey guys, figured I would give you a heads up. Free app today is SwiftKey keyboard X. It's on of the best kb on android, very intuitive. It's surely worth a look.
Here's the link:

+ 1. And if you're using atomic fusion, the neon theme comes pretty close to matching it looks good.

will give it a try i heard a lot of good things about it

Yea. Im it really is a great keyboard. I'm not sour at all about buying this before amazon made it available for free. I was glad to support the developers.

any ideas why the amazon app store keeps failing to download successfully?
-----------
Cog 5 v1.00 (2.3.3)

Hey guys,
Why do we have to input our credit number and information if it is for free?
Is the free only for couple days? And after that, they'll just take the amount off from our credit card that we have provided?
I din't know how the free stuff works from amazon.. Pls help
Thanks!

The reason why you have to put in your credit card is because amazon wants you to be in the "one click" environment. The apps are free and are usable as long as you have the appstore installed on your phone

Tried it out and liked it, just not as well as the iphone keyboard emulator that I have been using for awhile. I have to have a big space bar.

Give it some time, and use the sms learning feature. After a while for frequently used texts, all you need is spacebar to text, very quick and convenient

Try smart keyboard pro. You have the option to make the spacebar bigger and longer.

Its in the market, there is a free version. I was so happy when I found it as when I switched from iphone I really missed the keyboard. Just look for iphone keyboard emulator.

I get their apps EVERYDAY. I seriously wait until 2:30 a.m (cst) and then download the app. I don't always install it. But It will be in "my apps" on my account so I can redownload and install the apk whenever I feel like I need an app or just want a new game.

*edit* it works pretty well, i dont like having to find the vogue forun every time i boot it up though
Do you plan on releasing the source of this app? I had a project I was working on for a forum, but ran into some issues. Some example coding would definitely be nice.
Very nice but no way to bookmark forums = no good for me
I love it! ill use it when I can't get to a computer. Very good for show off threads because it takes 1 less step to upload pics!

[APP] Cut the Rope

Cut The Rope for Android is here! And it's FREE!
For any iOS user out there who has played the game, they know it's pretty addicting.
Anyway, this app is not on the market; the only way to get it is on getjar.
On your phone just go to: http://m.getjar.com and look for Cut the Rope. If it doesn't show up on the main page for some reason go to the bottom of the page and select "Quick Download". Type in the code 75206 and a download page for Cut the Rope should pop up.
Note: It is 15 MB and can be moved to the SD card.
Here is a video for anyone who doesn't know what it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_GFCueQjoQ
My Feelings about the App:
It was actually pretty flawless. No bugs or anything; I couldn't get this to work on AnonymousROM i3; it would freeze after hitting the "Play" button. But since I'm on Deodexed EF02 it has been working beautifully. Other than that, the only thing I want is more levels! They have about 150 levels right now, however, the first twenty are pretty easy.
Definitely worth trying!
5/5
I try new games on a daily basis, I'll give this a whirl and see how it is. Thank for posting this!

Nice. Thanks for this post.

Found out moving it to the SD card froze my phone while trying to load a level. Keeping it on phone storage is fine though.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Moved to SD and have played through all the cardboard levels with no freezing. Initially I had a couple of times where the screen went black and then came back on - I suspect it may be due to ad-blocking. After that it played for a good 20 minutes perfectly. Thanks for the find OP!
Love this game No problems at all
it's also in the amazon appstore starting today. not for free though.
Thanks

All that downloads is the download helper apk which is just a link to the getjar webpage. How do I download the actual game???
Edit: I had to go to the non mobile site to get the download to work.

It was a free giveaway in the amazon appstore awhile ago (thats when i snagged it )
It's actually on the market now, but it isn't free I believe.
After I installed the help file the download worked for me. Fun game.

Scrabble

Somebody please get this up and going for the xoom
I was about to side load it....see how that goes.
XOOM
Why bother? It's a POS compared to WordFeud.
I was just going to install this when I noticed the app doesn't install on Xoom. I must say this makes me really disappointed and brings a huge spotlight to splintered status of Android.
That said, I find it hard to blame Google solely. I much rather blame EA. Its not like they couldn't have made the app work on both platforms.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I side-loaded it. It works but not great. It is 1/4 screen and has graphical issues in the unused space. The music sucks too. I haven't gotten to play a game yet but the game does seem to run and the HC3.2 full screen trick will probably handle the screen size issues.

Can you post a link to the APK, I would like to give it a go even though it apparently only partially works. Or send to [email protected] Thanks!

I loaded it on my TB, haven't tried moving it to my Xoom yet...
It is disappointing that this new Free version doesn't support "local" play only... or play against the "computer."
Anyone get the apk out?

That would be warez, unless of course you are asking for the trial version. The trial version does suck a$$ though. See below.

+1 It is pointless for me, i just wanted to grab a quick me vs computer game to try it before i buy it.
There was a free version of scrabble. So that would not be warez. Anyone know where to find the apk in the file system? I can pull it from my TB or tab.

Can Google make it so when my apps are updating, it only does it one at a time? The phone becomes practically unusable when 10 apps are trying to download at the same time. Super annoying.

just don't use your phone for a minute while they update
Maybe there's a possibility, like the netflix mod, to bypass the root check by someone that has the knowledge to do that sort of thing
If I install this, can I receive another Market update in the future? Or I should again install via APK?

I manually updated this, works fine. I do have a problem though, maybe it's me ;o)
How do you manually update an App after installing this latest Market app.
Example:
I've installed the new market place and notice that the Amazon UK app had an update this morning. I have set this app to manual update, but when I open the app through the new market, the only 2 buttons are 'open' and 'uninstall', there's no update button.
Confused? I am... any ideas guys?

Nexus 7 For The Elderly

An elderly relative of mine shall be getting herself a Nexus 7 tomorrow, which she plans to use mainly for e-Reading plus a bit of media usage in the form of BBC iPlayer. I was looking for an easy-to-use interface for her. Any launcher recommendations or simple customisations to make it just a little bit easier? I am sure she could use it as is, but making it easier so I don't have to teach her so much will be good.
How elderly? Talk back might be nifty. I tried it once, it was annoying as hell though

Instructions are poor. You get a quick startup guide on paper and then have to open the book section to read the user manual. I find it harder to learn about a system when I an constantly flipping from the manual to a page to try out what I was reading.

I was more just on about launchers which would allow her to have a nice, clean UI that isn't too cluttered.
Anyone know of such a launcher?

No problem. The only launcher that might suit your needs would be a heavily customized apex launcher.

Thanks. I can install Apex on my Galaxy Note, so I'll fiddle around and see what I can do on it.
Just empty the desktop from every single icon . Than..
1.on home screen Add icons that this person will use the most e.g BBC iPlayer (not sure bits going to work without flash), chrome, play store and a nice looking clock widget or something
2. Set each other screen with categories e.g one for books where you place the appropriate widgets and icons . One for videos and one for whatever else like notes calendar and other productivity ....
3. Do that person a favour and download some games .. yes games . You'd be surprised how often older people like to play ... ideal games would be mahjong, card games , also things like Bejeweled ,Zuma, scrabble type games
Stock android launcher is good enough trust me you just have to know how to organise it. Also wait for chameleon that might change things
