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

i wouldn't mind having this also
although i am assuming it will be like Skype mobile and locked to the carrier and phones rendering it unusable to other carriers/phones

Really would love...would be bad if it came down to that

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.

Xda mobile app ads

I know that the new xda update includes adds and other stuff, there's fine.
I was wondering, if possible can xda make a paid app without ads? I would defiantly buy it. It would be nice and xda be making money too.
Please post here if you would like that and maybe we could get one.
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using the xda-developers app.

hey dude every time i try to log on to the APP it tells me " need administrators permission to login...? " what do i have to do?

We added an ad so that we can continue to provide the app free. Surprisingly, we have gotten a lot of messages from people willing to pay to remove the ad. So, we are considering this, perhaps with a premium version that also adds new features.
Thanks for your input!

We're working on an update that should fix some of the issues with 1.3.1. In the mean time, try reinstalling, or rebooting your device. It works fine on my Nexus One with 2.2.1.

I agree with the no ad concept for a fee.
We are constantly bombarded with ads daily from every other medium so when I see ads, I uninstall.
In this case, XDA remains on my device because this is the best forum on the net, period.

it still asked me to ask taptalk admin to let me etc

I've been searching for a thread to report or compare bugs in the app. Is there one?

Didn't know ads bother people so much. Games I know, but these ads are not bothersome at all.
Hypothethical question for the devs which would make you more money someone with who buys a $2 app or someone using an ad supported app. Just wondering

I would definitely buy it. The last thing I want to worry about is hitting the next page button and getting a 9.99 jamster charge on my bill because the ad captured my mobile number because of the app permissions or something like that. Thanks for the great app though

My carrier disabled third party billing to my account, but I think XDA uses a reputable source for the ads in the app (likely admob or google), who wouldn't allow someone to billl you $10 through merely clicking an ad.
But I'm sure Svetius can clarify which service generates the ads, and while it pays to be cautious, I reckon you're unlikely to get something like that as an app advert (though I am sure someone will try it some day...)

I haven't read the link yet, but, we aren't here merely to get root. If we only came here for root access there might not be this website--or at least such a large devoted community.
This virus probably uses an exploit of some sort (buffer overflow, injection, etc) to get root access for itself and to do nasty things with your connection and processor cycles...if it gives you root access too that's merely a pleasant side effect of the nasty stuff it's probably doing.
XDA is about so much more than just getting root access...smh

You do know that this is year old news, right?

Yes I know its old news but wouldn't super user tell us that something is trying for access?

Tech support? Sure.
...but what about the development community? Someone has to make a ROM. Some times teams do it. Sometimes it's a huge team. They have to meet somewhere.
If I had a gun to my head and had to come up with a reason why people come to XDA I would have to say something like "to use and explore their computer hardware however they want to, as if it were their own, which it is."
Before it's a phone it is a computer. 100% capable of being a general purpose computer. People come to XDA to use their pocket computer in any way they see fit..."rooting" is only the first--and very important--step.

Two questions, but one of them is answered by google.
1. What is air push?
2. Does OP even know what a SDK is?

I am not sure understanding how would new sdk change existing apps.
If you are concerned about ads and push services you can block internet for offending apps using for example DroidWall (firewall) or block permission with another apps.
It helps a lot extending battery life as well cleaning the screen from ads.

Well it would be better if we can eliminate all the airpush's abilities without all the apps with just Androids OS integrated techniques to have a better Android experience, not to block air push, that sounds so simple and degrading to the controversy of the topic. An arrangement made for the OS to incorporate certain logic in finding application which are oblivious to recreation.

Hope this translation helps.

Why are you all being so difficult???? Why hasn't anyone thought of this yet? All he is saying is he thinks air push's abilities should be stopped/removed just like carrier i.q. was. Instead of using an app to tell you which apps are using air push abilities why can't we just stop it from the get go. I clucked the link for the opt out app and it says device not compatible.

It did and that might actually be possible but there are good uses of air push though. The os itself doesn't have any air push ads and those are usually created by installing sketchy apps. People shouldn't install sketchy apps. Its how you prevent getting viruses in windows . There are air push apps that tell you which apps are abusing it

Like the spoof information on our phones to route back straight to air push email address for their own information case. Why take it, when we can handle it back to them?

Another topic of the same kind. Anyways as usual have to reply to it.
First of all, android doesnt have viruses as far as i know. There are 1 or 2 reported but are completely harmless. Yeah, malwares are there.
Prevention from malwares can be- you should know what you are downloading and from where. Use apps like pdroid/lbe security and droidwall to limit the access of app. This is the best thing you should do to prevent something called malwares. AND BTW, ONCE AGAIN I AM TELLING, ANTIVRUS ISNT NEEDED ON ANDROID, IT SLOWS OUR SYSTEM LIKE HELL :/

As for a serious reply I would recommend Avast.
I didn`t really care for the antivirus, but for the anti-theft options. AV seemed to do it`s job, but I didn`t encounter any viruses.

I always knew that antivirus for android [linux] is not necessary :laugh:
Since you know what you're doing and you have in mind that nowadays nothing is 100% secure even with antivirus

Avast antivirus looks good, especially for the Anti-theft part. I hope it tackles known malware though.

Ok tnks for the report bro .
