Cydia type of store for Android

A store where u can get apps n themes for rooted htc evo...sorry if this quest. was already asked
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G

There is no seperate "app store" like this for Android. Google allows apps that require root in the Market with everything else.

Just search for "root" on the android market. A bunch of root only apps will come up.

Be extremely careful when downloading apps which require root access on your phone! They can bypass normal app permissions and do all kinds of crazy things to your phone without you knowing.
Themes for Android itself cannot be found in the Market due to the fact that a theme must either be custom-made for your ROM and device, or use something like the T-Mobile/CyanogenMod 7 theme engine. Apps such as ADW do have themes in the Android Market which you can use.
You should also not use third-party Markets, as most Android malware/trojans are spread via such Markets (if not downloaded from pirate sites, of course) which have little to no oversight compared to the Android Market.

applanet is for piracy, not off-market apps. and is not reccomended.
appbrain is just the market in a different form.
android market is the place to be. it is like appstore AND cydia in one place.

use appbrain,
but i always find anything in the built-in market though
note : applanet and blapkmarket is for pirated app!!!

I haven't got the update yet, but with the added security it may be the update that allows Vodafone users to pay for apps using their monthly bill instead of a credit/debit card or whatever

As I posted in another thread when new market came out few weeks ago I have to say it again:
This market sucks rly bad. It's ultra slow and laggy. Sliding lags, sometimes when u slide right or left the windows slides up and down.
When u press menu and press "my apps" it loads forever till all ur apps appear or it gets into "endless searching mode^^" and u have to restart market.
So nothing has changed since first update and many others have same problem.
Google should do their job and bring a market that is stable and fast as the current one before bringing such a crap.
To the design:
Some ppl like it some not. I am one of these who don't. It's not trendy, not stylish just confusing. In combination with the above bugs it's unusable for me.
my specs:
i9000 2.3.4 JVR with 1.5.0 [email protected],2ghz and lagfix enabled

Launch android market and leave it on homepage for 10min.If update will be available it will get pushed or u can go to setting>application>manage>all>market>uninstall update and then relaunch android market and leave it for 10min
NOTE:If fast data connection is available,update wont take more than 5min

The Market Enabler No longer works with these New Markets. Planning to stick with the old one.

Works like a charm on 2.3.4 (JVQ).
Had to use the '-r' switch with 'adb install' to install, otherwise I got a message that the app was already installed (even though the version numbers were different)

I don't know why but not all apps are showing the +1 option and its not that scheme where you can only +1 downloaded apps as some downloaded are not showing +1 option too!

Old Market on SGS2E4GT

Anyone surprised we still have 2.3.6 on this beast when several newer versions have been released? Not ready to root, so haven't replaced the apk yet....

Mines updated after I opened the market up and signed in with my gmail account.

Heh, I factory reset my phone the other day and was surprised to see a different looking market app... must have been 2.3.6.
Then I hit the back key and it was updated to 3.1.5 again, which was the only version I'd seen on the phone before.

I have had it for several days though. I have wiped data for the market application too.

Yea, I think we all start with the old market and then it automatically updates!

Mine updated in the first couple mins.
The Evo3D Killer!!!

after wiping data the second time and resetting the phone, market did end up updating. But until after a few days!

Weird...I have had the phone for a day and I am still on the old market. I guess I should just wait it out and it will upgrade eventually? Is there a way to force a market update?
Thanks!

Go to Settings -> Applications, find the market app in the list, and clear data/cache
Open the app back up and it should update shortly

I use the old market
you have to re-install the apk (hint you can get it from the cyanogenmod gapps link)
and then you have to FREEZE "market updater" using titanium or some other software that will freeze apps
this way market wont update as soon as you sign into the market
I prefer the old version, since it sees my app list better, and shows me what updates I need....the new one wont show updates on mine for some reason for ALL my apps, only a few

I notice that there is something called as DigiClock installed after market was updated. I didn't install this and I can't find this program anywhere and can't find a place to uninstall either. Uninstalled market updates, but it is now showing up even in the old market as well.

Got this update too but I feel it's just fine, however I don't use it so often.

hi, i just kind of replace the market.apk from blapkmarket... and instead got market that does not run... would someone be nice enough to pm me market.apk link?
thanks!

[Q] List play installed and side loaded app

Is there any way to generate a list of apps installed from the market and sideloaded apps?
Preferably a list that can be copied to a text file.
Thanks....

Thank you. But that only lists all the apps, not which are side loaded. Do you know of any way to do that?

I don't believe there is a way to tell if an app is side loaded unless you specifically remember or check the market for ones that don't receive updates.

How does Play Market know that the app has been side loaded? Can we use the same technique to determine an apps "sideloadedness" ourselves?
Thanks in advance...

It may not help, but Titanium Backup has a Market Link feature where I think you can create/restore or disable a market link for apps. I've never used this feature so im not real sure its what youre looking for, but maybe you can find a way to filter based on this?

Unfortunately Titanium Backup does not differentiate between the two or give you a way to filter on side loaded app.

A "sideloaded" app is an app that has been installed on the phone without it being downloaded with Android Play/Market. Most file explorers will do this.
The latest versions of Android Play/Market will not update an app that has been sideloaded. It only allows you to open or uninstall the them. While this makes sense for paid apps (they might be pirated) it does not make sense for free apps (such as apps purchased on Amazon or download from XDA).
I sideload many apps (some apps from XDA) and I am trying to make a text list of all of my installed apps and then denote which of the apps were loaded through Google Play/Market and which were sideloaded. Any free Android Play/Market available apps that I find that I have sideloaded I will uninstall and re-install using Android Play/Market so they will update appropriately.
That is why I am trying to do this.

I believe they are signed differently. A sideloaded app will NOT receive updates from the Play Store.

TB will show you which apps have market links, don't see a way to export it but if you email the whole list you could print it and cross them off or just load them into a spreadsheet... Not as quick but should be <10 mins.

With this in mind does anybody make an app that will list all of the install apps and whether they are side loaded or not?

Unfortunately I have used Titanium Backup Market Doctor to link everything to the Market so I dont' think that will work. If there is a way to get that information from Titanium Backup, please let me know how.

Market tools, market auto updates only shows me market apps and I've done the link repair thing too...
JKKKK no I didn't. I thought I had but I never ran it, whoops.
I fixed the links and ran autoupdater after selecting all, only market loaded apps showed up man so.....
