hey fellaz,
wondering how difficult it would be to move an app that I paid for, from my older device to my new phone?
the app was not purchased from the play store and is not available from the Play Store.
when I paid for the app it stated it is only good for that device and would need to be purchased for another device
the app is free to download inorder to verify it will work with your device and then you pay through PayPal via the in-app purchase.
granted the app only cost $2 but the price is not the issue, I would like to start getting into Android type development and figured if this is not too hard to accomplish I would attempt to try it.
I'm assuming the information the app is looking for to verify the device, is just saved in a file on the phone. since that device has no service and the app still works so it's not contacting a server for verification
the device the app is installed on is it currently rooted and has a custom recovery if that makes a difference.
thx for any help you can give me. and the app is called EmuFlight Configurations Manager (EMU CM) by RaceDroneSoft

Hello everyone,
I just got a Nook Tablet I have never had any smart phone or tablet before, and I have never purchased an app. My question is about DRM on apps.
If I buy an app from the B&N store, will I only be able to use it on my Nook Tablet? For example, if I get an Android phone in the future, will I be able to use my Nook Tablet apps on it?
I know that there are other marketplaces such as the Android marketplace and the Amazon app store. Are there similar issues with those as well?
Where is the best place to buy an app to ensure I won't have to buy it a second time?

Buy from the google market if you want to use it in the future for android phone/tablet.
Does that mean that if I buy from the Google market, I can copy the app to a new device and install it again? Would the new device also have to have the Google market installed?
What it is about buying an app from B&N that would restrict me from transferring and installing my app on a new device?

Yes, you can copy it and install it anywhere regardless where you buy the app - manually copy it or use a backup program like Titanium backup. If you want to tie the program to the market, so you can get updates for it, you can redownload it from the android market, or use a program to tie it to the market so it recognizes it (but your account will have to have purchased the program if it's not a free one).
The android market is tied to devices - you cannot use it without a device registered to the account, which is different than the other markets/stores where an account is enough (currently). There is no issue installing the Amazon market, the B&N Market, etc on different devices and regrabbing programs. (But the external B&N market app doesn't run on nook tablets, only odd part.) Since the android market is by far the biggest one, it's probably the best place to buy things, but no you shouldnt' have issues with the other markets and transferring stuff around.
Anything you purchase through Google Market or Amazon App Store can be used and downloaded on any device as long as you use the same account (gmail for google, login for Amazon). I have three devices that all share the same apps. When you login to either for the first time, it will list all your purchased apps under "my apps" and you can download directly from there. I have no experience with the B&N market yet.
I keep a second family gmail account and make purchases through that on Google market so my family can all share the same purchased apps and our own seperate gmail accounts for email, calendar, etc.
There's no definitive answer, since a) it depends on the vendor's permission, b) the "app store" scheme is still in a state of flux, both conceptually and in implementation.
In theory, whatever "app store" you buy an app from will allow authorization for any devices linked to that store. Since Google's uses Gmail, then any device linked to a particular Gmail acct should be authorized.
Presently, buying from Google allows the widest reach, assuming all your devices are linked to Gmail. Buying from B&N, in theory, would allow any B&N-linked devices (NC and NT for now) to be authorized. Ditto for Amazon's.
This is a problem, assuming you buy apps from different app stores. This will be addressed over time, by user demands of vendors to establish a commonal authorization system. Realize that we're still in the beta testing stage, not only of mobile devices and OS'es, but also their ecosystems.
Over time, one'd expect more vendors to eschew "per user" for a more granular "per device" or "per X devices." For one, it avoids the abuse of having a "communal" Gmail account--mentioned in the previous post--to share between different users. Since the latter requires additional infrastructural work, you only see this from a few large, established vendors for now. But all vendors are loathe to let a third-party control their vendor-client relationship, and will have their own proprietary authorization at some point.

Amazon.com also has an android app store. You will have to download the apk to install. All the details are on the website. I like it because it saves all of your apps on your account. When switching phones, once you enter you Amazon user name and password, poof all of your apps can be downloaded. Also Amazon gives you a free paid app every day.
On the Android market only paid apps are saved in your account. When downloading from the android market use the apps at the top of the search results and the ones with lots of user feedback. Those are generally safer.
Hi,why it disappeared from Play Store??Where can I find the latest free version??
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
Anyone??
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
I haven't found it using the Play Store search engine but I've still been able to find it listed as 'USB/BT JoystickCenter 2015' (green icon) under My Apps > All in the Play Store menu under the account in which I originally downloaded it. I actually paid for this app license in its early stage. Perhaps that's why I am still able to find and install from Play Store...? ?.
I searched github and the most recent activity was by Jared Morgan (jaredmorgs) in July 2016. He edited the README file stating that the dev has abandoned this app and the licensing server is down.
I emailed him asking how I can contact the dev Poke64738 but he said he didn't know. I've since backed up to Google Drive and Dropbox just in case it disappears completely. I don't know the rules of posting a link to download somebody else's app from my Drive acct. I will if it is allowed.

Man, I remember the good old days of using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 with honeycomb with that app. And when Wii Remotes actually worked out of the box without any extra dongles. And everything was inspired by Tron (design wise) instead of material design. And apps weren't bloated as all hell as they are now. And root ad blockers like AdAway were actually in the play store. And SuperSU wasn't sold to a Chinese company. And you didn't have to flash an extra zip file to install Xposed. And Tegra 2 was actually impressive. And touchwiz was awful. Those were the days.
Whoops. Got a little carried away. :silly:

I purchased this app off the Microsoft Store in 2011 and I just got off the phone with Microsoft and they said I have to contact the developer regarding this issue, Who do I email regarding getting a copy of the App I paid for. I have my original transaction no for proof of purchase.
I would happily help make a new UWP Windows 10 version. Does anyone know where I can get help and info about where to start?

Hi Guys,
how can i install an app that is only available for some countries (i have tried the with VPN and it doesn't work). It is a medical app and i need it for my insulin sensor level reader.
it can be found on UK and France app store. On my store it cant even be seen. It is called "FreeStyle LibreLink". If someone can provide me the apk it would be great.
I have tried to search the forum but i failed in finding something similar.
Thank you for your help

thank you, i have installed it but it is still not working
Hello,
thank you for your help. I have manged to install the app but when i am trying to open it i am being redirected to Play Store and it is blocking the application somehow.. any idea how to pass this? I have installed a VPN but i am getting the same issue.
Thanks
Mihnea
No idea, sorry. I would try to contact the developer.
You need to find the app for your specific country. I have the swedish one.
However the app is not compatible with the Pixel 4s new NFC chip. I managed to sideload the swedish app and am not getting the error message. I still can't read the sensor 9 times out of 10 tho. So I am hoping for an update, either from abott or google.
Came to XDA to see if they might have a patch or mod etc.
Not certain relevant but I assume you are not granting "location" access on your phone to that app (or google for that matter)? 2nd - Assuming that you are connected via vpn to whatever Country the app communicates with (assuming it needs to even talk to a remote computer/service to work), if you are being directed to the play store is the app out of date perhaps and creator is requiring an update?
