Blocking Non-Android Market apps? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I just wanted to know if there was any way to block non-android apps? I know you can do it from settings, then applications, but you can enable installation of apps by just checking that option. Is there any way I can block them? Thanks, and I want to do this because my brother keeps installing useless games and apps again and again.

I don't think you can any other way.. but one thing you can do is install a app that can hide your android market app or any other app you choose so he cant access the market... I can't quite remember the name of it but its a pretty cool app.. you can also hide pics, movies, and other media on your phone.. wish I could help a little more

Market app?

My market app went back to normal and im using Koni's latest rom. And im talking about appearence. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you go to menu>settings>applications and uninstall updates on the market app? Not sure if that's how you do it but that is most likely the problem. It probably updated. Need to uninstall the update and then freeze market updater with Titanium.
Yeah but how do I freeze it now in titanium? Im using the free one.

I don't think you can freeze it with the free version man. You have to buy the market app for 5 bucks or you can pull a Johnny Depp arghhh matey. (That was gay lol)

Xda app

I just bought the premium app and was wondering if there is a way to set a default forum?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
I don't think there is. You can however set a favourite forum and have that displayed by default.
I have the XDAdevelopers application for my Evo 3D in inverted blue. is there a inverted blue one for the premium application? As of now i have 2 because i like the blue one but wanna get rid of the free one.
where can i find this app?

It is downloaded from a special program on your phone called the "Market". Not many people know about the "Market".

is there an iphone app?

Does anyone use Chat-On?

I tried to find people, but I have no clue how to add friends. Do they have to have the app?
They do have to have the app and once you find out if they have it or not, you can add them by their phone number. Best app ever.

I never used it, actually froze the app. What is the benefits of using this app say over Google Talk?

Adaway app

Does anyone have a link to the adaway apk. I down loaded a free app from play store that puts ads on your phone. I like the app and don't want to get rid of it.

Just an FYI, the newest version of ROM Toobox Pro doesn't have the ad blocking feature specifically built in anymore. Just a manual host file editor. In some update notes I think I read that it had to be removed via a request from the Play Store overseers.
I downloaded the apk adaway to my 4shared account. I will post the link. In joy ! http://www.4shared.com/android/4U7oOpqc/AdAwayv23.html

[Q] match 3 vs?

Sorry,I know this is probably a dumb question.
I have seen this game in the manage apps screen and know that it is just boat ware.
But I was thinking I would give it a try since I like those kinds of games but can not see it in my regular app drawer.
Am I missing something?
I have looked everywhere I can think and can't seem to find it.

Can you not open it from manage apps section?

That is because it's a group play game. You have to go into group play and then you'll see the games.

Ah I see.
That makes sense.
No group to try it with
Shucks
Thank you though
That was driving me nuts.
