I'm NOT trying to steal apps or ask how to get them for free.
What I want to know is if it's possible to have purchased an app on one phone and transfer it to the other?
Because: I downloaded this game called Abduction! on my phone a long time ago and don't really care for it anymore. Now my sister is a huge fan of the game and she always uses my phone to play.
I'm wondering since it's probably just a .apk and .odex file, if I can just copy/cut and transfer it to her phone.
Is it possible?
I don't want her to have to pay $3.99 for a full version.
the apps are tied to your google acct. so if you have 2 phones link to the same acct then you can share.
i'm not convinced this is fair to the devs if i decide to have 2 phones and run the apps on both. it is convinient though when you're testing out a new phone and aren't sure if you want to commit just yet.
Just like to start this thread to hear about your google wallet experience. Here is one of mine for now I have a few.
I just used it for the 1st time a few days ago getting gas I told the old guy $20 credit then he saw me put the phone up to the paypass and my wallet said waiting on him then he canceled it and said oh NO that dont work here. So I went back after work with a new guy on duty and did it (worked). MODERATOR EDIT - COMMENTS REMOVED
Every-time I use it, people look at me and ask, "Did you just use your phone to pay?" Every-time.
Love using it wherever I can. So convenient. Just wish more places supported it. People always looked at me like a pulled a magic trick. But the latest problem I see it that place have the hardware, but the firmware isn't setup.
I have no idea what it do. Can someone explain it?

Basically you can store your credit cards onto your google account and then you use the app in your phone to emulate the credit card that you want to use.

Does it use NFC?
Can you make it force you to enter a password before you use it? I'd hate to have my phone stolen and have that mean my credit cards are stolen too.
(Yeah I admit I know nothign about this. It sounded like another lame feature when it came out, but now that I'm hearing more it sounds really cool)
OK,
- Use of astersiks to mask profanity is still considered profanity, no matter what the context, users of all ages read these threads.

So I rooted my HTC One (M8) using the all in one toolkit, which just roots the stock phone using the HTCDev bootloader unlocker thing (signing in to HTCDev, getting your phones code, all that good stuff). I tried firewater, and I couldn't obtain S-OFF using that. So, I downloaded Sunshine onto my phone and it got to the screen where it tells me to pay (by the way, I feel $25 is ridiculous considering all of this for older devices was free), does this mean that it's compatible with my root? I see a lot of people do this with Insert Coin installed and stuff, but I don't want to flash something and have to re-download all of my apps and everything again. So, my question is, can you use Sunshine with a stock-rooted M8 with the bootloader unlocked via HTCDev?
Yes you need a near as possible stock Rom with root to do that...it will work 100% fine..

"near stock"? That's what I'm confused on. I have stock ROM, just rooted.

Can I use Sunshine with this?
Stock is perfect then, about as near to stock as it can be ?
If it prompts you for payment, that means it's compatible with your phone & ROM. I asked this in their irc.

Funny how you feel its ridiculous to have to "pay" for something the dev worked on for hours and hours, on his own time, but you think its just fine and dandy to ask for support here for your question, for "free"..
Its people like you that make the dev's not want to share things they come up with for THEMSELVES with the rest of us..
And learn how to search, since the answer to your question has been posted many times, and you only want "free" service...

This is my 4th Android phone, and its also the fourth phone I've ever rooted. But its the first I've ever had to pay something for. There's all kinds of developers and people who make stuff for this, from unlocking bootloader to rooting. Hell, HTC themselves don't make you pay to do what's necessary to do ANY of this. This is the first developer I've seem to make you pay for one of the many little things rooting your phone requires. They're making you pay a hefty amount for one thing. Even ten dollars would've made more sense. Maybe I'm being cheap and ignorant, but like I stated first, after many years of many developers and phones able to be rooted (I'll even throw in how every jailbreak program for apple products), this is the first one I've seen to make you pay. And $25 at that.
Get used to it; is a different world now a days..
Considering all of your 8 posts have been nothing but you asking for free help for your problems, I wouldn't complain about paying for ANYTHING here on XDA until you become a contributor and not just a "taker"..

I semi agree with this post except. I don't expect developers to just give out there hard work. Yes that has been the trend for the past few years but I also see where the developer is coming from. Do I think $25 is a bit much? Yes but him/her asking for a little return for something the average Joe can't do and the benefits from it outweigh the cost.

The 25$ are not that much if you think about what he/they had to do...they used phones and tools where they had to pay too...so instead of giving it out for free and even losing that much money they are taking a bit from the community so they can improve the tool more and more to get s-off...soon even m7 will be possible to s-off...I think this week or so...they are really working hard on it as it is going to be harder to unlock the phone so that we can unbrand etc...so I think the 25$ are really worth it...

Yeah I agree. Just read an article on it. Just shelled out the $25 and now I'm s-off. Finally lol
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
$25 or $600 developer edition? $25 = more than fair!
Not many people are prepared to pay for $25 for s-off. The developer would get more money if he was selling it for about $10 as more people would be prepared to buy it.
In the end it's really a matter of choice and decisions. The developer decided to sell for $XX
You have a choice. Either pay the $XX or stay as is. If you really need s-off then you must also be willing to pay for it.
Simple as that.

The idea that vendors can always "make it up on volume" is a fallacy.
Good vendors experiment with price to try and see where income is maximised. I've done that with my Android apps.
Semi-regularly I hear from people who say "make it up on volume". I'm the one who's done the testing and analysed the results. I'm the one who is "living the reality", day in and day out. They just have a vague idea about price, based on their own speculation, and perhaps their own self interest in seeing a lower price.

I understand where you coming from. Every successful product needs to reach the break even point. After that you can experiment with the price. Such as do a discount on a certain week or a day.
So I have a silly question, First I have only ever rooted 1 phone prior to this, S3, Now I have my htc one m8, Used weaksauce, worked for me to enable power saving mode, now my phone is no longer rooted, So the question is will sunshine, root, my phone and turn the S-OFF? Thanks
I agree that $25 is steep. I'd consider $5 to $10 but even then I'm like "I don't know" because I have tried a lot of this type of crap and bricked devices. I bricked 3 M7 phones in the past trying to do this... I was unsuccessful so it's money out of my pocket and have nothing to offer but I recently got laid off and have an HTC One (M7) from T-Mobile with a bad esn I'm trying to sell but need to port it to AT&T first because I can't get any useful amount without this. Firewater doesn't work and I can't afford $25. This sucks for me and since I'm desperately trying to get this done (gotta pay rent) I'm trying to work on my own exploit but am scared I'm going to brick this device too. I understand trying to be rewarded for This amazing creation but it sucks for those of us that can't pay that $25...

Then don't s-off and/or wait until you have the $$$ to pay for it. Nobody is forcing you to, there is no requirement, so we don't OWE the developer anything unless we decide to use their product which they have spent time working on. Judging by your previous history I would just leave as is and not tinker anymore, as this type of modification for any device comes with the risk of bricking your device if you're not careful/dont know what you're doing.
I'm no genius but food, rent, etc all come before modifying my phone for pleasure/convenience.

You can download the apk from the site in the first post and run the app. As the dev says if you get to the screen asking or payment details then it will work fo you.
Well thanks captain obvious but as my post says... It isn't for enjoyment or pleasure. I need to sell the phone with a bad esn so I'm trying to flash it to AT&T so I get a reasonable amount. I need s-Off for that. I agree that I probably shouldn't tinker with my device anymore but the thought of not keeping a place for my daughters to live kills me. I'm not asking the developers to change anything. I just thought I'd chime in with my thoughts on it. I did post a comment on another thread in frustration yesterday that was uncalled for but I'm just trying to get by until I can get a new job.
Alright, so I've been using HTC devices since the evo 4G,then moved to the evo lte, and then this phone (but finally on a GSM carrier)
The need to s-off has been offset by HTC's own unlock method to a certain point, but really $25 for an s-off? I'm not bashing the developer or the team for this business model, but where is this money going and more importantly, is it legal?
I would happily pay a modder that much to solder something to a pcb if that was the only way to get s-off, but then you see the actual effort in doing a craft everyday that merits payment. Every client needing a slightly different thing, or a certain customization. (solder pcb to get s-off, flash customized hboot =$25)
This to me is a classic monopoly style price that basically says "either fork over 4 hours worth of pay or sit their diddling your thumbs" and now it can never change because then all the people that bought the s-off will be angry if it becomes free.
Like I said, I'm all for supporting the developer for his time and commitment, but I just want people to chime in and convince me that the $25 is worth it compared to similar services of similar values, etc.
You only need to pay if Firewater doesn't work, so try that first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708464
As to why the dev of the other method asks $25... Because they can! seriously though, people pay. If you worked hard on a tool to bring S-OFF, and people were willing to pay $25 for it.. would you ask the money? Probably yes. I know I would.
Seriously... Sunshine worked great on mine.. I have the att version
Why do you think you need Soff?

No I wouldn't. Unless every s-off the program gives costs him actual money.
I want s-off to change to dev edition

then pay the tariff, or figure out how to do it yourself
its just that simple
We can discuss it all day.... But it is what it is.
I payed ... So I could unlock my bootloader without using the HTC site and keeping my warranty. Assuming I can still return it to stock if I need warranty.
I have been hanging around on my Sprint Note 3, for quite a while looking for my next phone. I was thinking about waiting for the new Nexus 6, especially since I have a Google Fi invite. My girlfriend decided to surprise me by trading in my note 3, and adding me her at&t mobile value share. I am happy to be off Sprint, but my girlfriend didn't realize the downsides to the phone she got me. Battery, SD card is a little annoying, but of course no root. Yikes.
I'm going to attempt to keep the phone because it is a gift. But, for those on the note 5 bandwagon,have you found passable solutions to any of the things we always use.
Whether it's proper adblocking, disabling all the bloatware, or even being to completely remove what I don't want on my phone.
Has anyone found anything that can even help recreate the functions of root we all miss.
I like the phone a lot, but rooted would make me love it. Or gladly throw in a few hundred to a thousand dollar's to members researching over the new Knox subsystem.
Keep in mind root negates android pay and samsung pay I believe. The latter is Mr favorite feature.

I don't get the Samsung pay thing and why people are so enamored with it.
It looks like it takes twice as much effort as whipping out my card, and you still have to manually enter the pin anyway. Why is everybody so Snake Charmed with this?
Pin? I use cc and at places that don't have nfc.

You could have easily found an answer to all your questions on the first page of the sub-forums in this sub. There is Package disabler pro to disable all your bloatware, and adguard (not in appstore) for adblocking. As far as features we all miss from root? You may need to be more specific, this is the first phone I have not rooted and installed custom roms on, and I am not really missing anything. As far as not liking this phone for not having a microsd and removable battery. The Nexus 6p you were interested in does not have any of those features either.
