[Q] Asphalt 5

Asphalt 5 is not showing up for me in the Samsung market? I was under the impression that you would be able to download the full game for free?
But when reading the "instructions" it says that it may vary depending on operator, meh!
Would it be possible for someone to share the .apk?

I had not heard that, but if it is indeed the case I would like to get my hands on it as well.

Yes, I noticed the same thing. I'd be interested to know whether anyone in the UK actually has Asphalt 5 in their Samsung Apps and if so which operator they are using. FWIW, I'm using Talkmobile (which shows 2 apps in Samsung Apps) and I also tried my Virgin SIM (which only showed 1 app).
Of course if I actually wanted the game it's only £3 from Gameloft, but I'm not convinced that I want it that much.

Its not displayed as HD like their Tab games are on the website so theyre probably updating it.

its not on three uk or tmobile uk either!!

Apshalt 5 HD is on the android market... Doesn't work properly on my tab tho (the free version anyway)

The one in the market isn't for the Tab, you need the one from gameloft.com site!

My tab from CPW had both Asphalt 5 and N.O.V.A pre-loaded, but in my haste I forgot to back them up before upgrading to the JK5 firmware via Odin. I now don't have them so I'm a little annoyed at myself!
Do you think If I email Gameloft my serial number etc that they will send me the .apk's as the product I purchased came with them or am I out of luck?

There is no gameloft application in my samsung market? It's not available in the Samsung games either and the one on the android market is not made for the tab!
I mean, it' not a huge deal for me, it would just be nice to have and they did say it would be free!
Why is it that EVERYONE has got different apps on their tab? Very annoying

Gameloft are currently making Asphalt 6 which will work on the iPad, so thatll be pprted over for us over time

I wouldn't really use the term "currently". They haven't even started development on it yet, although it is planned.
Asphalt 5 HD should be available on the gameloft site for us.
If anyone got it with their tab, care to post the apk??

I would/did use 'curently' as theyve made 2 video demos/trailers of it.

I just downloaded it from their site and it works fine, well the trial version does anyway. Quite an amusing game.

Ohhh, not for Android. I meant it was being made for the iOS (eurgh) then hopefully/probably to Android after its released.

Asphalt 5 stopped working for me yesterday, sadly. The demo was working perfectly, but now only shows a button to get the full version instead of the option to play the demo. I have no interest in the full version, but the demo was quite neat.

It was added to my samsung apps today, nice

New free Flash-based games from Kongregate

Kongregate was bought by GameStop a while ago and now they are offering their app in the Market which will allow you to play over 300 free flash based games.
While this isn't on par with for-pay games from companies like Polarbit or Gameloft, it's something and it's free.
Here's the article.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/18/kongregate-arcade-hits-android-gamestop-shoving-free-flash-game/
Update: The app has been removed from the Market with Google saying they didn't do it and GameStop saying that Google did do it. Meh, whatever. Here's the direct link below to download it from Kongregate directly.
http://www.kongregate.com/android

Aside from the main screen(s) being only in portrait mode, all the games I've tried go full-screen landscape mode and run really well.
Here's to another time-killer.

hum.. It does not show up in the market for me. Was the app already pulled?

Arrgh! Another app that I can't see in market !
Jim

No show here

You can download the app directly from Kongregate!
Www . Kongregate . Com/ android

I did a search in the Market on my g Tab running VEGAn rom beta 5.1 and it showed up for me. I am using Swype and had to modify my properties file to mimic a Galaxy Tab. Maybe that's why it showed for me?

Dude! Gotta tell me how you got swype going! Thats awesome!

The instructions are in the thread below. I can't live without Swype on my gTab and my Droid X. My job issued me an iPhone 4 and an iPad and wish I could use Swype on them as well.
Anyway, here it is.

Kongregate Arcade is back in the Market
This app is available in the Market again after they made some changes to the app. The downloaded games are no longer saved to the sd card so you can play them later without launching the arcade app first. Now the arcade app runs the games in memory.
It's still free and runs great on my VEGAn rom beta 5.1 gTab.

Amazon App Store now working

Check out Amazon. They have an App store now. Supposed to have a free paid app every day. I got Angry Birds Rio just a minute ago...

A free paid app?
EDIT: OH, I see what you mean... cool

I love the amazon app store, now we will have access to all the paid apps with no hacks (assuming the developers of the apps make the move.)

Not available in my geographic location..... The wild, freezing tundra of the great white north. I suppose after today's seal hunt, and before I start today's grapple with that damn polar bear, I'll find some third party site to download the apk from.

I wonder why they are charging for regular angry birds and other free apps on it when you can get them for free on the google android market

I am more than pleased w/ the Amazon app store. Took me 5 mins to set it up first thing this am, and within 5 mins it recognized my G tab with no issues.
Works much better than the Android market place. No need to do Market fixes when they do updates.

That would be the "AD free" version sir
They also have the ad supported free one on the market as well

It'll be interesting to see how they're market handles multiple devices and frequency for updates.
Only negative I've seen so far, is that the apps seem to take quite a bit longer from amazon. Uninstalled AB and then downloaded and installed from android market, then downloaded and installed from amazon market, took 3 almost 4 times longer to download from amazon.

Angry Birds RIO
I also downloaded the Amazon app, and then at the top Angry Birds RIO showed for free download. Had some initial issues with my password, I could not get my regular Amazon password to work same as my mobile.. But all is well, and Angry Birds RIO plays great... I look forward to their future fee offerings, and I also found it works a lot better than Marketplace.

Anyone running Amazon Appstore on stock rom GTablet?
It works great on my VEGAN-tab but when I try to install it on my stock GTablet, I receive an error: "There was a temporary error logging in. Please try again in a few moments."
I tried again a few moments later over and over again all day, and still no luck. I couldn't even download the app properly...had to transfer via USB. Only to get this error message.
But in my VEGAN-tab, downloaded, installed and ran absolutely perfectly.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas why?

I noticed that as well. I am thinking (hoping) that it is due to the fact that it just launched and they are swamped a bit. Will know better after a couple weeks.
Still over all I like it. It seems to work pretty smooth on my ancient G1

I have stock rom and it works fine. A little slow like others have said but this is good for me without access to market apps. Nice to be set up already as an Amazon customer.

I used the same amazon account on all 3 of my devices and anything I purchased or was available for install on all 3 devices. So I guess you can install an app that you purchased on as many devices that you own without paying separately for each device, which is how it should be. You paid for the software and should be able to use it on any device you wish within reason. +1 for amazon! I hope they don't change this.

Tank Hero
For those that couldn't get tank hero on the upgraded market with Vegan you can now get it with the Amazon Market, gonna search for a few other things that were missing from the Android Market. Me Likey!!

Not sure what the problem was, but a factory reset seemed to clear it up.
I am definitely excited about the Amazon app store. It looks like a great alternative for tablets without Market access. But beware that one-click ordering...sometimes too easy is not a good thing!

It is the whole app and website that is slow. Every part of the process takes longer than Market. However, there are a number of things I can't find on the Market that I could at Amazon. Kudos overall.

Even if it stays slower I am liking it. It is not like I will install software every day. I found it nice that I could go to the app website make the purchases and then at my convenience install them on my device.
I don't have my GTab yet so I am really living in the slow lane with my venerable G1

Yes, I am as well.
After browsing around, I am willing to trade the speed for truly functional search. The ability to filter the listings alone makes it a winner over the Market.

App stores I use

Google Play of course
One time $25 sign up fee Payouts once a month no matter the amount you have earned.
Synapsy <--Scam!
App brain is ok. You will get more recognition with them if you pay to promote your app verses just adding it to their library. Also your app must be live on Google play for it to be included on appbrain.

I thought this Synapsy company was a spam:

I'm trying with GetJar. Anyone has experience with it?

Aptoide Market.. the best?
Στάλθηκε από το A500 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk 2

In my opinion it's too difficult to trust any market that you have to upload your apk to. Appbrain though is perfect, has anyone got any other markets you can submit your apps (from google play) to?

Im still primarily using the play store. Doesnt app brain charge a per download fee or something like that even on free apps?
Note 2 ftw

I use Google Play, BlackBerry World and Amazon Appstore. Blackberry World has worked better than expected for us.

Use google play... Its the best.... Also check out amazon and appbrain for some additional profits......

getjar was worse than amazon for me. It used to be much better but i didn't have any luck with my current game.

Additionally to Google play I use AppBrain, RoboMobo and Opera.
They're OK. With minimal effort I get 20-30% extra downloades.

Try GiveMeApps

Try GiveMeApps. They don't have any developer fees AT ALL and you have the option of keeping 100% of all of your earnings. You also get to withdraw your money whenever you want using your control panel, not just once a month, once every two weeks, etc. You can also track your downloads and get analytics.
They also have a Tech Blog, YouTube channel, etc. :good:

Play Store
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

I use Play Store, Samsung App store, GetJar, Softonic, Opera, BlackBerry, Applandic and Apptoide.
Well by amount of downloads I have next list:
Play Store
BlackBerry
Samsung
Softonic
almost on the same position are GetJar, Opera, Applandic and Apptoide.
By the way, Softonic doesn't ask to submit an app, Play Store link will be enough.
GetJar was good for me when I've tried to promote an app with their promotional service but it's not so good as Appbrain. After I've finished the campaign number of downloads returned to the previous level.

I like SlideMe. I'll add to Play Store too, but right now i don't have a mean to pay those 25$.
That is one time fee and they will charge you nothing from that day? Not even when you withdraw your eranings?

Gear VR, anyone else get one?

My former employees gave me a galaxy vr as a going away gift on my last day. So far, I'd say this is the most fun accessory that I've gotten for my note 5. Even the free content is fantastic. I've installed package disabler to be able to run cardboard apps, but I want to know if anyone has found any fun items for this device.

there are plenty

Jurassic World, Social Alpha, Netflix to name a few. Did you just say you figured out a way to run cardboard apps on it? Please do tell!

max temp so far (on note 5) is about 106 degrees after 4 hours, thats not hot at all

I haven't ran into any overheating issues. Gets a little warm but that's it

Stumped
Tried to use the widget but GEAR VR SERVICES doesn't show up in the list. Anyone else have this problem and a solution? Gear Vr services is listed under APP manager though.

I used Package Disabler Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
I don't have root access and it works for me to disable Gear VR Service. I don't have the VR yet, so I can't test the rest.
Good luck.
I think there is a free version of the app too.

I had one of these for my note 4 and found it to kill the battery and make the phone so hot that it often shut down after 30 mins due to heat. Tried it on my note 5 but same issues. However it was more of a problem as no SD card slot, so found the games large enough to fill up my device quickly. Note 4 was a quick swap of the memory card.
The image wasn't clear either - as mentioned above each eye separately seemed ok but blurred a little together. It feels like the lens need an adjustment to suit width of eyes also.
I found the VR interesting but gimmicky. It seems like an afterthought. But as its early days I'd have expected the consumer edition to be improved over the innovator edition...but its just not. However it is half the price!
Next version will hopefully further improve this. I can totally see a market more these but as an early adopter I soon became bored with it (and had a few headaches too as a result of the blurring!).

Don't forget to install Herobound: First Steps (free). You'll really need a controller to get the most out of it, but its the first game I played that really felt immersive.

What controller do you guys recommend?
