Pin to download free apps - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Heyhey is there a way to set a pin to download free apps... I know u can do it for paid apps... My friend wants to let his kids play with his s3 but doesnt want them loading his phone with free apps

If the kids are old enough to figure out how to install apps, they are old enough to be punished for doing so.

I'd also suggest EasyMoney. I've tried quite a lot of them, but EasyMoney seems to be simply the best.
Yeah i did see that one, just a shame its only a 30 day trial and then you have to pay for it. Would like a free app if possible, but will give this a go and see what I think.
Oh and could this be moved to the applications forum, accidently posted here. Thanks.
EasyMoney is exactly what I wanted. I'm using it on trial. Unfortunately for me, the app is expiring and I don't use credit card :-(
EasyMoney will be the 1st app I buy with my coming credit card. Worth my money Beautiful UI, nice animation, simple yet complete
Not sure how much detail you need, but BudgetDroid is good for keeping an eye on what you spend. And it exports too.

[Q] Remove anoying ads in android

Hi,
ik was wondering if there is any way to delete all the anoying ads you get by google in the androidsystem, because they are pretty anoying! They use up too much of my screen and I don't want em there!
Is there a solution for this?
I just want an ad-free android phone. If I want to see ads I go looking for them myself! I allready get this sh*t in my email, mail, internetsurfing, TV, magazines, ingame, etc, etc.
If it comes into your personal stuff it's just spam, am I right?
I just don't want no ads/spam no more in my phone!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sounds like a song!)

"I just want an ad-free android phone."
You just answered your own question download "adfree " . it removes the adds rather i should say it blocks the adds bu just keeping a blank screen . something is better then nothing. I use it myself, and i don't mind the little blank screen which you will never-ever notice.
Your device need to be rooted for using Adfree.
Just remember, you're hurting the developers who wrote that program for you to use. But, if you're ok with that, do what the guy above said.
i've never understood how online andvertisment works.
Never clicked on a single ad and yet they're making money?
sense none
It's called "impressions". They pay very little, but, if you've got a big enough audience, they are good enough.
Also, people do click on ads, you'd be surprised. I've clicked on a few, especially in apps that I really like and want to support the devs.
Well, I'm not asking for those ads! If i use an app, it's because I want to use that app, not because there are some interesting ads in it!
And oc I dont want blank space instead! I wan to use my screen for what I am doing at that moment!

Without those Ads there wouldnt be any free apps because thats what helps devs progress on work, u want no ads? Do what the guy suggested above and from the second post, i find it funny how u see it annoying, its a marketing stradegy, get over it

You think it's messed up we live in a society where people should receive money for work they did?
You paid for your PC, does that mean all the software should be free? You've paid for a refrigerator, does that mean your food should be free? You've paid for a car, does that mean gas should be free?
When you grow up, you'll hopefully realize that people work hard for a reason.
Well, I guess it's for money, right?!
But still it doesn't mean that they have to spam it into my life!
You missed my point: I'm happy and willing to pay for what I need and people offer, but it's still my choise to go looking for it myself, instead of being spammed on my mobile, TV, email, regular mail, etc...
I perfectly know what I want and don't want. It has nothing to do with groing up.
It's just a shame that we live in a society in what this is all seen as 'normal'.
Ontopic: after experiencing adfree for two days now, I can say I'm happy with it.

For people like you it doesnt have effect, however there are lots of people, actually most of the humans, who are catchable for advertisements.
If it didnt create any turnover companies stopped advertising ages ago. Now they are willing to pay huge amounts of money to get advertising time during a important tv event...so this is a cheap way for small companies to get their names into the already overloaded free market where we luckily live in.
For you it is one of the downsides of this free world, for them it is an oppurtunity to increase business.

Fancy widget pro is free today in amazon market

To anyone who might be interested and too cheap to fork out two bucks.
It's only two bucks but i still kinda feel bad that i could have gotten it for free. Amazon also gave out marshmallows and spaghetti which i also paid for.

you can also just re-download the apps from the market where you purchased it from. you don't have to pay for it again, and you can download it however many times you want.

Not if you downloaded from the amazon market, you need to have amazon market installed to reinstall it.

AppMonster Pro catches all the apk's during the installs and saves them on your SD card.
Thanks for the heads up

Good look . Liking this App big time. Thanks.
About amazon market.
If you didn't know, they give away a FREE paid/pro app every day. You should check and "install" their app, even if you don't want it. You can uninstall it afterwards.
This way, you'll have it if you ever want it in the future and I'm sure Amazon is paying the dev a certain amount of $ for the number of downloads and the devs surely could use the $.
Besides those 2 reasons, it's always fun to try out some of those new pieces of software and fun to see what the next "free" toy is!

It's only available in the US. If you've got a Shift then I assume you are in the US. Go into system settings and under Language make sure you have US English selected and try it again.

Any thoughts on an app called app planet? I've heard conflicting stories just trying to get some clarification. Thanks.
App planet is highly questionable on a moral level. It is just like the market app BUT only features hacked paid apps. If you are into "stolen" apps you will enjoy app planet but be wary as some apps may contain harmful code. What you see is not always what you get. Virus and data mining are always a risk.
I hope this answers your question. Proceed with caution!

Nevermind....
That is helpful... This is my first Android, just trying to learn as much as I can. And... Not destroying anything in the process.
My feelings... if someone can't support a developer and pay pocket change for their app that they are going to use, it's pathetic. If people feel $1-$5 is too much, maybe they shouldn't be spending money each month on a cell phone bill...
You're absolutely right... This was a conversation I had with someone last night who wanted to show off his rooted d2. I told him I was using a rooted TB and he tried to one up with this app. I felt it was a little odd to have all apps available for free and he doesn't read this site. Now I can relay the message.
The Amazon app store on the other hand offers a free app every day
i totally understand that stealing apps from applanet is wrong but i think there are still several good uses. i have used it a couple times to download apps that were no longer available in the market like rom gripper and also blocked apps like wireless tether. i also have used it to try out a paid app for more than 15 mins allowed by the official market. if i liked it, i went on the regular market and bought it! it DOESNT HAVE to be used for piracy only....

When did it change from 24 hours to 15 minutes? I noticed this the other day and think its stupid, 15 minutes isn't long enough to test some apps.

This was to help developers, I will agree, 15 minutes is a bit short. But it is needed because of the amount of people that would buy a paid app, use it for that day, then "return" it. That and i'm sure people were downloading the paid app, ripping the apk, then "returning" the app, but still having the full paid version.

The funny thing is that 15 minutes is enough time to rip the apk but not enough time to even check out an app to see if I like it or not. I support the devs but this is going to hurt devs I think. I no longer try any paid app without finding it on the web instead of the market.

Anyways....AFAIK there's some app named Social Hack. It might be some help.
i trust her but not 100% since we rarely see each other nowadays and she cheated on me once.. by the way i tried looking for that social hack in google but i can't find it. can you give me a link for that?

It's in Play Store.
Well, if you don't trust her then why are you with her. If she wanna cheat, she surely will cheat. No matter what you do...you can't force her on that. If you do... There more likely chances of divorce.
But still there are many reasons women don't leave their husband even even if they love another person...if you know what I mean.

Love is blind..but you aren't... If you know she's cheating... Leave her... You can always find more better...as others say," Plenty of other fish in sea "...or whatever... Don't use means to spy on her...if she finds she herself would divorce I think...what I know from experience is true love never cheats...and nothing is more satisfying than finding the right person...
Its no good to spend your life with person you don't trust..
Anyways, you're on your own...I can't force you or something.. But nothing is bad in getting free tip.
And the app you say, there are plenty in market... Search something like SMS spy or parental spy...just get the hint. I doubt that you get any free one but what's wrong with searching. You can always try.

Oh really ??
A guy simply asked for .apk and you come up with a psychotherapy or marriage counselling ? Are you kidding or sth ?
Get kids first then you'll know why it's not so easy to dump a wife...In majority of western countries and EU wife gets sole rights over the kids after divorce no matter what (unless you can prove drugs / insanity)
Also don't be so sure these days about wives sticking to their husbands & status quo.
Kids is not really a magnet...Mortgage usually is but selling a house is easy...
You will not find any info here about keyloggers. They are illegal and in so against XDA rules.
