Thanks for posting this!
As I always do with big companies like this, I checked Amazon's website to see if they truly had released an app and someone wasn't just playing with us in a phishing scam. It's legit, it's real, and here's the link:
Amazon's Press Release
I'm not a huge Amazon user, but I do shop there from time to time. This is really a great way to reach customers. Kudos to Amazon!
Now if they could just make a Kindle reader for Android...

Could you (or anyone else for that matter) please post the apk file?
I've just searched for it here in the spanish android market and can't find it.
I use to buy stuff from Amazon and an app like this would be great.

It's a tool some italian guys developed before Google opened the Italian market for paid apps so they could buy in the US one.
Besides allowing that, it comes with an added benefit and it's that it allows getting any app from the US market, even if it isn't available for the UK, Spanish or any other market.
The app requires root, but that I suppose won't be a problem for any xda user. You can get it here

Amazon.com app
Just found out about this app and it sounds really interesting. Only issue is it's not available on the market in the UK (at least... I assume it isn't. I can't find it...)
Would someone be able to upload the apk? It's a free app so I'm not stealing it or anything
And I understand it probably only searches amazon.com, but I'm really not that bothered about that

There's already discussion on this. It was the third result when I searched: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544239

NEW MARKET request

Can anyone post the new market version 1660 or point me to where I can get it. I believe this eneables t mobile charging

Vending.apk is a closed-source app, also known as WAREZ. No one will post that for you, and your thread will most likely be closed for requesting it. And what are you even talking about? "T-mobile charging?" Do you mean that you cant see paid apps in the market? if so, it has nothing to do with the version of vending.apk you have anyways. You need to search for 'Market Enabler" on google code and install that .apk and it will help you fake a provider so that paid apps will show up. No WAREZ necessary.

He's probably talking about t-mobile rolling out carrier billing on the market for their android devices. I'm actually curious as to how we could acquire this without using warez, seeing as how it's a carrier specific application upgrade. I don't really have a need for it, but good for t-mobile.
ps
@socawarrior101 I'm pretty sure you need a version beyond 1660, i have that version already and there's no option for carrier billing.

actually closed source apps arent warez. its basically apps that require payment. so you dont have to be dumbass and disrespectful. plus ALL ROMs HERE except for (cyanogen and non-working hero 2.1 roms) have google appz. so why dont u complain abt them being "warez"
and if u actually knew what was going on...tmobile is rolling out an upgrade to the market which enables the user to buy apps using 1) their google checkout account or 2)their tmobile account

You seem to have a habit of correcting people without having all the facts yourself ;-) Just because something's free of charge to obtain, doesn't mean you have the right to distribute it. Unless you are officially licsened by Google, then you are not allowed to distribute their closed source apps. Just because most devs do it doesn't mean they shouldn't.
From Wikipedia: ""Warez" refers primarily to copyrighted works traded in violation of copyright law." Sounds like warez to me.

is anyone going to post something useful or keep whining like little girls about someone elses useless post, just to add your 2 cents of uselessness?
Anyone at all have any info? I don't really need the carrier billing, but I like being up to date with everything android!
I tried going through cyanogen's thread but didn't get much info there.

I just sent it

trying to install...
I'm at work with no access to adb, but should be home within the hour. Hopefully adb will work.
I've tried using the terminal to install:
(system already set to read/write) su
install /sdcard/vending.apk /system/app/vending.apk
I get no errors through terminal (same thing with facebook ver. 111) but the icon disappears and I have no access to the market.
I've tried using the rooted browser, SUFBS, to just overwrite (copy & paste) the new market over the old one, but the same thing happens, my market icon disappears and I have no access.
Hopefully ADB will give me some better results...

You will have to edit the build.trout.prop file in /system (most likely, test keys need to be changed to the sholes version). Even if this gets it to start, the likelihood of a big issue (no paid apps, etc) is nontrivial.

[APP] WP7 3mktPlace v0.4

Hello,
I would like to share a windows app, kind of a parallel market for desktop that allows you to download almost any WP7 application, and convert it automatically into .XAP file.
But I don't know if it is ok with moderation so please mods let me know about it before I upload the .zip file.
Thanks.

sounds like a great way to finally be able to install the free netflix app, even if it is not listed in your marketplace...

I don't think so.

This is a PAID APP and therefore NOT OK to post here.
Posting a link to a place where users can BUY the app IS OK.

This software lets you download any app from the market, including paid ones. Hence it is not allowed on xda.

Nope, this is a free app, but as said above, it can download any app, free or not, and convert it into .XAP.
So it can be considered as warez but it is not really one actually. Since it's able to grab free apps in .XAP file system, I though it was an interesting tool for finding rare .XAP apps...
But that is why I waited before posting any link, as the status of this app is rather vague, like in the grey area...

I think it's a free app. I've tried and works well.
Unfortunately, it seems it works for free and paid apps (honestly, haven't tried it, but read that it is possible). It is a pitty, because it won't be allowed on XDA and it is a great way to avoid all the trouble to get a live ID.

Well couldn't somebody mod it to only access the free ones?
There is also another software that does the same as this, both are by different devs. Would be great if we had a XDA dev work on it and release it with better/more stable functions.

That would be a great step for HD2 users.

not hard at all to activate
other than the activation code from Microsoft being location based, it is not hard what so ever to have WP7 be fully fuctional. i have zero issues down loading/accessing anything from windows live, market, zune. all the info to do so is here on the forums, and a 5 min call to Microsoft customer service. There was only two specific questions they asked 1. are u in the US, 2. what is the phone Brand. having all of the software set up properly, then entering that code gives full use. when i plugged into the Zune software after it recognized it as HD7....................been testing the crap out of it since. zero problems. take your time....put all the software in the right order, call to get a code...done....
sorry if the Microsoft activation code does not work for you based on location.. that blows

please be realistic
it is considered as cracking app to me, definitely not allowed here, period. It is everywhere in the Chinese forums, where they share all kind of cracked paid apps.

Yes, there's no distinction between free and paid apps. I've download to alternative browsers, not knowing they were paid.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908293 - it seems to do the same thing, but only displays free apps. Should be sticky here.
Either way, bored of WP7, back to Android!

tried so many games and apps
apps are fine ! but no game is working except NFS !!!

what exactly does this program do? just crack paid apps?

it download paid apps for free therefore not allowed to be discussed on XDA.
I suggest any discussion stop unless your willing to suffer a suspension or a bann

Actually it only downloads the free apps aswell as trials, it doesnt directly download any full apps. What it does do also is edit the trial so its full on supported titles.

Well I wouldn't consider removing the trial limitation to full legal since its then a full app. Anyway carry on. Don't say no one told ya

Simple idea how to track link clicks (forum, blogs)

I have placed a link to my game on my blog and I wanted to know how many people actually click on the ad. I have used simple method, goo.gl URL shortener. I have used this one because I of course already have a google account. I can track all shorted links and google gives me simplified, but useful data.

Hello
This one is very nice and free

Yes you also have bit.ly , both are great

I have tried both options.
It's very useful for simple click tracking.

I've spent the last few months developing a tool to do exactly this, its called Taveo. You can read more at: taveo.net
It's similar to bit.ly, but has a lot more features (think bit.ly + Google Analytics).
I am currently running a private beta, but if anyone on the forum here is interested in a Beta Invite, pm me and I will provide one.

[App] Parchi - Microsoft Quick notes & lists, even from lock screen

So coming from a Note 4 one of the biggest items I use a lot is note taking from the lock screen. It seems that google thinks it's incompatible with all my phones and a standard search in the market doesn't bring it up so I though I would share. It syncs with your Microsoft account so you have backup and restore abilities. It's an app that made my transition from the Note 4 to the 6P that much easier.

I added the apk of the latest version so you don't have to go searching.

Unless i'm missing something, you cant have Google Keep on the lock screen.

Calendar
Any chance to add features,
1) add or edit event to calendar
2) read and reply email
from lock screen?

Thanks for this!! I just tried it out and its amazing! It totally kills Google Keep! I wish Microsoft would put in the US Google Store. Not sure why they haven't unless it's a licensing issue

Any chance for the newest version? Play store shows it's a real app but still won't let me download on any device I own.

Sorry... why are you asking for these in this thread? Parchi's a Microsoft App, not the OP's creation. You're better off asking through their official Google+ account/community page than here.
