Market account ...

Hi,
How does the Market account work?
I meant, when you have a new Android phone, you setup an account, Google Checkout so you can buy some apps from Market.
Now, when you bought a second phone ... can you use the same Google Checkout account? So, you can re-download all the apps that you bought in the phone1 to this new phone.
I am asking this to anticipate the new upcoming Android tablets I really hate if I must re-purchase all the apps
Thanks

I think it's one account per phone. Don't quote me on that though.

Currently, there is nothing stopping you downloading your paid apps to a second device linked to the same account. That may change of course, especially with the new licensing service, but it is certainly the case for now.
Regards,
Dave

[Q] Is there any way to Crack Amazons appstore ?

I live in Brasil, and my 1-click settings at the amazon.com site is using a Brasilian international credit card, so as my brasilian address.
Since i am using my real information, i can't manage to use the Amazons app store at my Kindle fire and on my Xperia Arc.
I've already tried the whole thing if creating a new account, with fake data fetched from fakenamegenerator.com but it does not worked aswell.
Is there any way i can "crack" my appstore app so that it does not check for amazon.com feedback about my account country, or is this impossible ?
I really want to start using the app store from Brasil, let me know if there is anything i can do.
Thanks !

Why don't you try Google Play Store? That way it's easy to manage your apps in both devices.

I do use the play store but:
1. Not all the apps are tagged as compatible to my Kindle fire, forcing me to download the APK from the market and push it into the kindle manually
2. Amazon appstore have some free apps daily or weekly, which the play store does not have.

Are you rooted?
I know you can modify your build.prop to mask as another device to improve app compatibility. I've read that most apps that are said to be incompatible are not.

Yes i am rooted, and changing the build.prop file properties, sometimes help, sometimes dont.
But this is not the thread's question.
I would like to access the amazon app store, from Brasil.
1. Yes, i've tried proxies
2. Yes, i've tried fakenamegenerator.com
Edit: This is a new method, but it also failed to work for me :
http://spimitech.com/guides/access-amazon-apps-market-from-outside-the-us/
I've set the new card, billing adress using a hotel on international drive, and set the new payment method as 1-click.
App still saying that i don't have a US billing Address or Credit Card
None of those worked for me

2 fast and easy questions

Question 1: if I buy an app, lets say tasker, and then i want to install that app to my girlfriends phone.. Would it be enough to restore the App from my titanium copy? Or will it say her phone does not have the license? Is this possible and legal or i gotta buy another app? Seems unfair if I have to...
Also even if not possible for my gf to get the App will it be possible for me to install it in my tablet?.. Using the same google account or could I use another account? Need to clear out this
Question 2: little tutorial for tasker?, i want to do something, im from south América meaning my phone and keyboard (i use swiftkey x pro) are in spanish, but in xda for example i only write in english.. And its annoying the typo corrector since the keyboard its in spanish and every word i type its redlined.. So i Wonder if with tasker i could do something like change swiftkey lenguage to english when i open xda and when i close it, keyboard goes back to spanish

Definitely not legal to just pull the .apk and move it to another phone that didn't buy it. Obviously there are shades of grey here (it's just your GF's phone) but technically you shouldn't be doing this.
If you use the same GMail account and use that as the "Play Store" account you're signed into on both phones, then you should be able to re-download it on either device once it's purchased. This would work best if you each have your own GMail account for personal use, then a "shared" GMail account for app purchases. Otherwise, you'll each have access to the other's emails, contacts, etc..

In reference to question 1.
I had tried installing bionic bootstrap on my girl's bionic after purchasing it on mine. I added my account to her phone and installed it successfully. Used it once when rooting her phone but once my account was no longer the main one being used it disappeared from her apps. As for using it on another device that is yours, that'll work just fine.

Haven't heard about how to do this...

Your apps are tied to your Gmail account, plain and simple. You can have 5 phones running all with your same Gmail account and have all your apps on each.
But you can't give paid apps to other accounts. And I don't think there is a way to switch accounts that I've ever heard.
Sure you can just pull the apk and give it to someone, hacking, but not officially.

Ok so thats clear now... But no1 is answering my second question about tasker :S

Getting Google Apps Accounts onto Glass

I personally want to use my normal GApps account on glass, but google hasn't let us in yet and forces us to use gmail... I'm tired of using two accounts.
I believe we can get other accounts onto glass. This could be done by accessing the settings activity and adding our normal gmail account. the only problem is that there is no native com.android.settings app installed on glass which kind of ruins it.
anyone want to help me with this project??
PS. I'm doing this WITHOUT root/voiding my warranty.

Without root? Most likely not possible because you can't install the package "com.android.settings" without pushing it to "/system/app" on the device I dont' think.

I dont think this belongs to dev session
but I believe in a custom firmware can solve this issue perfectly

I disagree, the ability to use a gapps account is not simply just blocked on the Glass directly but it is also blocked in the MyGlass system. I just got through moving to a GMail Address for use with my Glass.

Well... this is not directly related to the op's question. But you can install settings without root.
Here is the demo officially released by google: https://developers.google.com/events/io/sessions/332704837

You can access some additional settings (such as force pairing Bluetooth devices) through launching that settings.apk; however, going into account setup will crash the app (as of now).

[Q] Auto load of all my apps on new tablet

I got my new Samsung Note 2014 edition last week, actually got two of them. One for me and one for my son. After going through all the initial setup on both tablets, including logging into Google, I noticed that it automatically downloaded and installed several of my existing apps onto the BOTH of the new tablets - which surprised me.
However, I am now wondering just how in sync these tablets will remain? If I install a new app on one tablet will it also automatically install on the other? Visa versa - If I uninstall some of these apps, will it uninstall on the other one too?
On the one hand, it was nice not to have to manually install a bunch of these, although I will have many to go. But I wonder just how linked these are and if I can separate the linking so the ycan install/uninstall whatever apps they want independantly.
Thanks!

Nope, it just happend the 1st time you configure the device; twice because you configure the same account in both devices

if i understand in the right way, you can cancel "all apps" instalation and manually install one by one from your apps list...
a way to "skip" this auto install process is to configure google account after the "config wizard" (the one that ask all about your accounts and wifi password)
i hope this can help you :good:
