Hey everyone
I'm pretty much new the android phones. I have been using Sony Ericsson phones for several years and once I saw the slide I had to jump on it.
My question, can you download games and apps to install on the slide or do they have to be all purchased on the market?
Plenty of free useful apps on the market. Games also, but you get what you pay for in that department.

As long as its an .apk file you should be able to use it. You can find them just google it.

I use the built in market, you should too, discussion of warez isn't kosher
you can use google's market even if you are rooted, and a good companion to that is app brain

really ad free? that is stupid. Lets use an app for free and not support the dev that is offering it to you for free....
About Ad Free, I really don't mind seeing ads in apps, but when I'm out and about browsing the web, I don't like how web pages load much slower, and unnecessary data usage. To each his own, I suppose.
I have two incredibles Verizon branded. What can I do with them? I use att now. So reactivating them isn't really on the to do list. I've looked into rooting and flashing and seems a bit more complex than with my Samsung captivate. If there is something really neat I could use it for it might be worth the trouble. Ideas? Anyone wanna help a fella out?

MOD EDIT: This isn't the marketplace, if you want to sell them then post in the marketplace and not in any of these forums. Thanks
You could use them as an mp3 player, use wifi only and play games and surf the net, or download a gps app that stores the maps locally since you don't have service on them.

I know the GPS is much better than on the cappy I use now so there is a wonderful idea. I wonder if I could use it for data logging on my motorcycle. Like as a accurate speedometer (with delay for changes in speed) a way to log top speed and as a HD video recorder. Do you have any suggestion as to which GPS nav software to use?

I would do this, and use it as a dev phone for testing (or learning how to compile, if you don't know how) ROMs.

The only navigation app I know off the top of my head that store maps locally is navigon. I have never used it and I see mixed reviews for it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
As I have 0 programming knowledge for computers at this time and with God's good grace starting school for it in the winter quarter it does interest me however I fear by the time I am proficient enough the development of this phone and thereby this thread will be long dead. I do want to root the phone and perhaps install a ROM that removes everything but the core of what it needs to operate and a very few apps. As I have two I could use one for GPS/MP3 duty for the motorcycle. So all I'd need is the basic operating system wifi a MP3 downloaded and a good local GPS software. I would think that the GPS software alone would take quite a bit of space.

CoPilot GPS stores its maps on your sdcard (North America maps take up about 1.3 Gb) and does a mostly acceptible job of navigating without using mobile data. The free version is a bit crippled, but what do you expect for free? Street address searches and POI searches also work well even without mobile data, ideal for a non-activated phone.
Another app I use sometimes is Navfree USA. It uses Open Street Maps, so they can be hit or miss. Also, searching by street addresses is mostly broken (Open Street Maps doesn't seem to handle postal codes well). Maps are downloaded state-by-state.
So what can be removed without destroying the os? I need only GPS functions bluetooth WiFi and audio.
Perhaps gmail and the play store. Unless I can use the play store without gmail. Is there a ROM I can flash that is already slimmed way down.

I probably wouldn't remove to much. This is what I am going to do to this phone when my contract runs out with Verizon and I switch to sprint. I'm going to run cm7, which has already been suggested and use the wifi only script which can be found here:

Yes but if I'm going to use this as a GPS with navigation and a MP3 player and dash cam on a motorcycle ill need all the free space I can get.

Moved to Q&A and edited OP. Please post in the correct section when asking questions and also do not post with the intention of trying to sell, we have the marketplace for that.
Thanks

Removing any system apps or parts of the os won't get you anymore space for storage since those are in the system partition.

Will it get me more speed? Like running through 6 inches of water as opposed to 4 feet.

I don't know how much you may hit the track on your motorcycle, but here are a few suggestions that you can find on the play store.

and a review of those

Looks like an app I may pay for. Even if im not on a track it will still help as there are a few places on my commute I tend to open up and ride hard. Makes my ride home quicker. Seems it could also be used to log top speed and 1/4 mile times. So a lot of useful features.

Stupid question, but did you upgrade to the new Playstore using that file that was posted online? I have not seen any ads on the Google Playstore.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus GSM
I doubt it. If it happened, it might be a tampered app or another app could be pushing ads to your phone.
What was the ad for? Did you just happen to unknowingly tap the screenshot the app provides? lol. Google doesnt put ads in the play store. If it was in fact an ad, another app is causing it. Seeing as though you are playing games like Catapult King, I would think thats very likely. A lot of those games are very ad driven and will even put ads in your notification drawer. Try out the app called airpush detector. It will tell you what apps are creating ads. Although I think its mainly for notification ads. I've never come across a full screen ad except for Angry Birds of course. But that was within the app itself.
Highly doubt it... Google doesn't have ads in ANY of its Android apps.... I bet you clicked the main pic and it went full screen and you thought it was an ad

If you did d/l it from the Web, Why don't you clear data, uninstall the play store and use the version pushed from Google? I'm guessing you won't see an ad again.

OP, are you sure you're using GOOGLE's PLAYSTORE, and not some other ? PLAYDOWNLOAD?
