After you buy it, it asks your gmail account info, sorry no proof...

I think "item not found" is the best proof. Thanks OP for the head up!

It's interesting, as I have Polaris Office installed on my Optimus 3D, and it works really well. It came as part of the Promethius ROM.

im surprised google allows such app to be uploaded to the play store..
what happened to their qc..
and iinm polaris office is a stock rom app

I think it asks for your google to access your google drive.

The provided URL is not working but apparently it seems to be Polaris Office.
Well, it came built in with my One X.

Pretty lame that they are making fake apps...

Google does not 'allow' publishing to Play Store. They only scan the app for malicious code and publish. It's up to the users to decide if they want to give the app access to the features is requires or not. Google treats the users of their services like adults that can make their own choices alone, unlike Apple which treats them like children that are allowed to access only what Apple wants them to access.

Hi I'm a noob here and with anything android - so according to the noob video I found this thread, it's an old one so I hope that's ok.
I recently downloaded a free game called URBEX via amazon onto my kindle fire - the crippled android - anyway I really liked the game and browsing for something similar found what looks to be the very same game being sold by a chinese developer. The name of the game was only slightly different 'Arbex Escape' but the screenshots are of the URBEX game. Is it likely this Arbex is totally fake, I didn't see any point in downloading it to see but there are complaints about it not working on amazon and itunes where as URBEX has good reviews.
I looked up the so called developer of 'ARBEX' Zhiqiang Huang and Beth Ho, and it looks suspect to me but for all I know developers may allow resale remarketing of thier work somehow? I'ts made me look at the world of apps in a far more sinister light or am I just paranoid?
Doh, just seen it is an HTC thread, i'm not far off the mark though am I, I have got one of those too, and newly flashed and rooted, Very Many thanks to this site.

Blockbuster app for evo??

This is has probably been asked before but just in the chance it has not, i was watching the commercial for the moto droid X and they are advertising the blockbuster on demand app where you can just rent and watch movies right on your phone.. is there possibly and APK for this, or can it be ported to the evo?
Thanks

awww man i hope one of the devs will be able to port this to the EVO somehow that would be awesome... there has to be someway to trick the app into thinking its on a Droid X and be able to use it!
I'd love to see this as well.
Blockbuster app = irrelevant. By 2011, Blockbuster will cease to exist meaning the app wont work anyway. I'm personally looking forward to the upcoming Netflix app.

[Q] XDA forum on iPad

There is a famous app on iPad called "Forum Runner" that can access any vBull based forum. I tried to search for this forum on it with no luck.
Not sure what is the problem especially this forum can be accessed from the similar app "Tapatalk" on Android.
I think you might get some more help about that at our sister site for iOS:

I think you missed the Point
It's the Tapa-talk type app he's after for the iPad.
I can't recall (not having an iPhone / Pad) if the XDA app if in the App Store, or just in the Android Market.
EDIT: Where's the WP7 version?

Asphalt 7 [GOOGLE PLAY VERSION]

Has anyone been able to hack the play version? ive tried everything with no success! The titanium backups wont show in titanium backup app etc, GG and GameCIH wont change anything on the app nothing seems to stick etc
Please help :fingers-crossed:
By hack are you referring to stealing a paid app
Jellin' like a felon
If by hacking, you mean cheating the system, we don't take kindly to talk like that.

I believe he is referring to modifying the game data to gain benefits in-game.
@OP Yes, I actually have managed to 'hack' it. If you are seriously interested
in hacking it, PM me and I will show you how.

What's the point in playing a game if you're going to be cheating?

You're exactly right. Which is why we don't cheat without prior completion of the game.
Seeing as how I've beaten A7, I see no reason to leave it alone. Why not have fun with it?
See what all you can modify and mess with. Just a thought..

I also would love to hack block breaker HD to work again... I bought the game but now it closes right after checking licence.
Its his personal choice, thats like saying why we would root our phones as soon as we get it (I know most of us are guilty of that). Dont be so quick to judge, arent we a community of believing we deserve to do whatever to the hardware and software we own?
Its my purchased game from the play store at the time of posting this thread I could not get any hack to work with GG or GameCIH so I wondered if it had been patched in the PS release. I have now managed to hack the coins but not the reputation or stars, the reputation force closes and the stars don't stick any ideas?
PS to the people who feel hacking a game to win etc is pointless, i bet youve cheated in GTA once in your life?

U guys see this?

Not surprising, as there are already apps out that work in a windowed fashion, the OverSkreen browser app is a good example.
I saw YouTube videos of it working on the gnote 2 and it looked sweet. It would be nice to have. There's a gnote 2 rom available in the dev section but apparently it still needs some work.

Yeah I saw that one too. Serenity I think it's called. I was on my way to downloading it, but he links you to his website where it was impossible to find the Lite version (stripped of all bloat) through the crappy background and text... Would love to have this feature though!
As far as I can tell, it is not in the JB update (FreeGS3).
Useless post #4 iirc
Just so you know, in market there's an app called floating browser that pops up a Window with a decent browser. Made by same dev that created super video, which gives u pop up floating video player (which works with YouTube, btw). They're both really sweet and free.

Hmm, I think the world might just end in December. Microsoft windows is going away from windows with their "Metro" GUI, and Android is going towards windows with this.
I hear the headphone jack will be on the bottom.

Lol, that's funny. Although the feature is more eye candy than useful, I thought I'd point out how I greatly increased the utility of the pop up browser. If you're using aokp u can create a nav button that'll launch the browser. Now, regardless of what app I'm in, I can launch my browser to look something up without exiting my app. Some launchers also allow you to assign certain functions to the hardware keys so you can have the same function on another rom. But aokp rocks anyway. Just my 2 cents.

No the world won't necessarily end then. But we will have encounter with the Lords of the stars. 6 more years will pass before the start of the 13 heavens, as December 21, 2012 markets the end of the 9 Hells. Water of truth poured from snake, moon and Sun will give rise to a new Earth after it rises from the ashes of the previous one. There will be survivors. Beware bearers of false gifts, and broken promises. There is much pain but still time left. Believe there is good out there. The conduit is closing. Quote me for truth.

Yeah, some of the books are a bit girly but if you have a look back through the links there are some decent books.
I got a kid's book about juggling bees that my son thinks is great and a couple for the Mrs, too.
Best thing is, if the cover and title caught your attention but the content is rubbish, delete it, you've lost nothing.
I'll be on the lookout for anything supernatural, that's all she reads. And she wonders why she has to sleep with the light on!
