Hi guys!
*I am going to be creating an android app soon, and want to know some things.
(Not a game)
1. What apps do you feel Google Play is lacking?
2. What apps do you find helpful?
3. Is there an app you want to see made?
4. How much would you be willing to pay for one?
5. Any ideas of suggestions you would like to make!
*All feedback is appreciated, however small
PS: Not sure if I have posted this in the wrong place... if I have I would be grateful if you would move it - thanks

I dont understand fully what you mean... but from what I can gather, that would be impossible due to privacy rights etc, and the details would reside with your network provider

Im suspicious of things you can buy jenga for 10p today but i can't understand why it wants phone call permissions? Why would a game want to know my phone number and call status? I can't think of a single reason, is there one?

Might have to do with this:
In Android Market Jenga Goto News Tab --> in "What new in this version":
"CHAT"
"Send a text message to your opponent with each move in an Online game"
Fair enough, i would just use the internet, not sure my what partner would need my phone number. Plenty of games use the internet without needing to know who im currently phoning, i think I'll leave this one!

Android apps that have silly requests for permissions is the worst aspect of Android.
I rooted and installed lbe security which allows me to block some permissions after the install.and asks with a pop up for requests at other times.
You have reason to be suspicious.
Good reason.
But most of it is just collected and used to better advertise to you.
Welcome to the cloud.
With the all seeing eye.

I agree,
you have to be suspicious.
Even better than LBE (and the best if combined) is CyanogenMod with the possibility to block ALL the permissions (have to consider which you block btw => FC's)
But games want to know your phone status to be able to pause when a call is coming in, I guess... Not sure though.

Ah will try that nut pants!
Ah yes, phone interruption, that will be it!

Any you don't like i guess as long as it doesn't break the app
So i saw a single player game that wanted my Gps...why? And can it access Gps history?

just root your phone and download denied permissions
How is an app that has automated settings for denied permissions going to help ME understand wich permissions i can block.

The same goes with me...
You can block anything that a phone may not support (any developer that makes an app that crashes because you have no internet should not bee installed)
I remove everything I don't like (which is everything) and bring back what I'm willing to allow if it FC's.
Google needs to have developers give full reasons for required permissions.some developers already do that, they are the ones I support.other I email to ask and i am fully willing to rate badly if no response.
Some one should start a Android full disclosure group to work together to get the info every one wants.
And get start up control (or something like that) you would not believe how many apps fire up when you get a text or change your network connectivity.
If any one knows of a Android security website or forum post it here.I have not found one worth reading.
You suggestion seems like it could benifit loads of people. It seems like you already have a good grasp what 2 ask the developers for. Maybe you can make up an format for me and others who are willing to email devs to get some awnsers.

I've had my i9100 for 5 months and just rooted last month. Before that I was on windows mobile, after10 years using a wm phone I bailed on ms forever because of all the unacceptable "features"of windows phone. I believe in security and being anonymous as possible to big corporate interests.Android being open source was my only choice as apple is closed and militant about it, even more so than Ms. (and imagine my horror to see all the permissions on my phone)
But to be honest I know much more about what I don't like than I know how to fix it.
I do know that Google makes more money from advertising and knowing the actions and preferences of its users than any other company in history.the app developers make as much money or more from advertising than from selling their apps.and in sure some make money by learning what you like and don't.
And almost none of them will abandon that source of cash.
When ics is out and ready for my device I will go to cm9ics and it's security options built in the kernel.
I hope some one builds a locked down Android that randomly fakes all the privacy questionable permissions so all apps work.but I don't think that will ever happen. None of the big movers in the phone market want that.
As for finding out why a developer asks for a permission just mail them and ask.if you don't like the answer uninstall and rate it why you removed it.
some times permissions are there for options that you may love like your keyboard needing your contact list so it can spell your friends names. But is there really a reason for that keyboard to have internet access?
Carrier IQ brought into the open just what your phone might do with it you knowing.sadly most phones don't need an extra app to monitor your every move.
Don't even get me started on the"cloud" and all the bad things it represents.
as I learn more I'll share more but right now I feel like a very big man in a very small boat fishing for information in a very big sea.
Good luck out there
I totally understand your feelings. And agree on most of it. I wrote an essay about digital privacy a few years back. The thing is i know my every digital move is being monitered and stored. I think your best option is to build a cutom rom .. maybe 1 wich feed the apps with bogus information. That way you can get the apps you like help the developers get random data/ advertising revenue and stay anonimous.

First off dont bump your thread people will answer in due cause.
The develop programs for android you will need to use Java, you will then need to download the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You will likely also want to use a IDE something like eclipse or intellij
Where to start all depeneds on past knowledge, If you know very little/nothing there is a few good guides on how to get started on here just search for them.
how you get paid via ads depends on the ad company you use, some pay you per install some pay you per click of the ad etc.
Either way a far better way of making money would be to have a free version and paid version of your app (or maybe in app purchases if it is a game)
I happened to come to this app called "perfect app protector"...
In it I found a option which could get the app in stealth mode...
Once in stealth mode it would:
1) dissappear from app drawer <obviously>
2) dissappear from system application list too...!
3) it would simply not show that it's running in background...
Like u close the app and it would be out of notification panel...
4) it worked in the background but didn't show up in task manager...
5) only way to open the app wz by dailing the it's password in the dialer and calling... ( I wonder what wifi only user's do..)
I wanted to port it in other apps I have...
So I started learning the language but even after two weeks I cant get the coding which does all this....
Basically would anyone be able to hind me how to put all this in the apps...??
Apps that don't have them...
I will not be redistributing the modified apk and its purely for personal use only... for apps like my anti theft I need this.
Plus I have already brought in the donate version of app(perfect app protector) to support the dev and coz im taking inputs from his app ...
Im not talking about copying and pasting it. Just the feature in my preferred app which I'll b writing in it with the modification I want...
I'm talking about putting the code in the app , so I guess this iz the correct forum. If it's not direct me to one...(trying to learn the correct language to put in the app)

Hi guys,
you know how to hack a server-sided apk app? Please tell me, because i'm searching for that for 1 year but never found it.
I know that's the best developer's forum and i hope you don't ignore my question or fooling around.
Thanks.
Oh.. if you know something about making a mod of that apk app tell me please.
(Monster Warlord is the apk i meant)
DISCLAIMER copyright claims are n easy thing!
1. "server sided apk", can't be hacked, at least you have to hack the server itself, depending on what data you want to modify and where the data is computed - on client or host side.
(tried something similar with the ingress apk )
2. to modify an android application you should have programmed one at first - or know about the structure of such an app, for reengineering purpose.
2.1 decompiling:
http://modstorm.co/how-to-decompile-android-app-with-apktool/
2.2 yes this the heavy load, what to do now depends on what app you want to modify and what in the app - up to you!

Thanks but after i decompilate my apk, what to do? I'm trying to hack a server-sided apk, remember that! Because i don't have reasons to modify a client-sided apk! It really makes no-sense.
UP. Please help me!

It is possible to mod the prises in the apk?
For example, the price of gems es 50usd, and you mod the prise just for 1usd... You are going to pay real money with google play store so that should work?
*facepalm*
No, your missing the point...but lets for the sake of arguement say there was a so file in there with the prices u can mod them all day long an as soon as u connect back to the SERVER...poof all that wasted time..if u dont have physical or atleast a lan line to the server u cant do much on their end.
