[Q] APK File Vs. Original APP - Zooper Widget General

Hello there! I'm from Brazil.
I always loved to customize my Galaxy S3 home screen. I have always been using UCCW.
I have always heard about Zooper Widget, but have never tried. Then I did it... And realiazed how I was wasting time with UCCW.
Zooper is, by far, much more customizable, it is easier and faster as well.
So I decided to purchase the Pro version, but a few days ago, the banks here in Brazil were not approving the credit card international purchases in Google Play Store, because the prices were in Reais (Brazil's currency), and people were not been warned that they would be charged with some taxes.
I was really lookin forward to try the Zooper Widget Pro version. Then, for the fisrt time in my 'android life', I downloaded an APK file. And installed it...
I loved Zooper. I created so many widgets by myself... It is amazing..
Now, the credit card issue I told you above is gone. I can finally purchase the Pro version then.
Would somebody please tell me what should I do, so I won't loose all the widgets I created with the APK file I've downloaded and installed??
I tried Google Play Store, but it shows that Zooper Widget Pro is already installed.
Should I uninstall it, delete the APK, and then buy the app??
How can I restore all my widgets then??
That's it. I hope someone can help me with that.
PS: sorry if I don't make myself clear, my english is not that good.

My suggestion would be to backup each widget, uninstall the apk, buy the play store version and then import all your widgets back. I know the app can do auto-backups but doing it also manually guarantees a backup.
There should be a save in the upper-right hand corner of each widget config.

Thanks man... I will try that...

thanks, really helpfull

NEW widgets in SamsungApps

Did you noticed that samsung apps has 2 more widgets? BBC News and BBC Sports? Only on Eclair, because today I have upgraded to Froyo, and there are no more. If anyone can post them here, for the Froyo owners it will be nice.
10x
It probably means they won't run on Froyo.
someone post them please, to test them
Well BBC app is useless... not sure what it is. It installed and I even backed up with appmanager and titanium. After install there is no open option and no Icon anywhere to be found. Removed and reinstalled... still no way to launch it. Ah widget will try again

[Q] Market apps

Hello,
I am new to this (i got my desire before 3 days) and i haven't rooted it or anything (yet i guess).
So what i wanted to ask is why i can't find on the market some well knows apps like "SwitchPro Widget" or "Fancy Widget Pro" (although i can find Fancy Widget) or even Beautiful Widgets.
They are just not on the market.
I have tried to install them from appbrain but since it also links you to the market i can't do it.
Can you please help me on that?
Thanks in advance
Paid apps are probably not available in your country.
Once rooted you'll be able to circumvent this with MarketEnabler.
Do you mean every paid app? Because i have downloaded LauncherPro (and paid for it) without any problem.
Thanks for your time btw.
afaik, Launcher Pro (Plus) is a different case, where you install the free version, then paypal the dev for the code to unlock the full version.
Much like how paid apps are not available in some countries, I have already read that some devs in a couple of countries are having trouble getting paid version of their apps on the marketplace, and have instead opt for a "donate" option on top of the free version of their app.

How to get a list of purchased apps?

Other than looking at my CC purchase report. Report is OK. I can filter by "Google" and I believe that all the paid apps are included.
But is it possible to do that in Google Play Web or App?
In the Web I can find only all Apps I downloaded and All Apps which are installed. But they are not categorized as purchased or not.
Any ideas?
I wish google would do this also in their play store app, I'm sick of seeing every app I have downloaded over the last 3 years in the all apps tab an I can't even delete them from the list.

Exactly. I can see only a list of every ****ty app I downloaded. It's really annoying that we can't filter the list.
Ditto! I remember the "old" Google market where you can look at just the purchased apps, but now with Google play you can't.
I wish they can create some way to sort.
Now, you might be able to see all you purchased apps on a pc. I think.

I might be wrong, but I think there is a list of those apps if you look through the Google Wallet website.

Nice ! I never even thought of that. G.W. is useless in Canada so far, so I never would think to check that, but lo and behold. Thank you !
It would be nice if Google Play Store could do that though, but at least this way I can view the list, then search the market for specific purchased apps, rather than scrolling thru a jumbled, unorganized mess of crapps I have installed in the past.

No problem. I do agree though, the Play store app needs search filters that allows that.

You can see a list of all purchases if you log into the Google Wallet site, however it also includes all purchases from the play store (music, magazines, offers), so it might still be too much information. My advise would be to install appbrain on your phone and sync the apps to appbrain. It will compile a list of paid applications for you and is a handy way to see how much you have spent in the market. The only short fall of this method is it will not account for apps that were purchased and removed prior to syncing.
Finally!!!
A solution we were looking for: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...apps-in-one-place-with-the-legacy-play-store/
So we have two ways so far:
1) Google Wallet page
2) Hacked old Playstore app

For a lot of the Zooper and UCCW widgets you need this app to be able to use the Music widgets:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha.

You can try to return to the store and require the exchange for the new one.

You can use any Root File Explorer apps, i personally prefer Xplore, but it depends on your mindset.. Okay, whatever, see you can find these apks in /Root/system/app. If it is there, just simply delete it. If you want a backup copy move it to some other location, say External SD.
But understand removing live wallpaper picker may sometime creates FC. But am not sure about that, see to it.

I think the apk is livewallpaper picker something like that, am not sure, search a bit in dat folder.. Also see /Root/system/priv-app. But you should be careful deleting files in that folder. Sorry i cant exactly remember the name of those apks, am not on stock now!
There is an apk called SecWallpaperChooser.apk, its the app which chooses wallpaper, not live walls, so dont delete it,
You need superuser access that you can enable in Configuration menu of Xplore.
