Benchmark - Click General

Hey all Tattoo peeps.
I was wondering if you could take the Benchmark application (http://www.androlib.com/android.application.softweg-hw-performance-jiCn.aspx) for a spin and share your scores with the forum. I guess it's possible that this app is not available on the Market for Tattoo (would not be the first incompatible app) so here's a download link: http://drop.io/androidtattoo/asset/softweg-hw-performance-apk (it's a free app, so it should be ok to post it here).

It's an advantage for the community, since it's time to have a real chart showing the differences between mobile devices, and this seems to promise just that.

I don't know if I posted this in the right section, but I figured some other HD2 Android owners like me might be looking for some games to kill time. I just found the link today and I'm sure it's probably been there for a while, but I couldn't find any other postings on xda when I did a search.
P.S. Tried to post as links for appbrain and the download but I can't with my new account. This is not Warez. Search for doodle jump on appbrain and you will see the link posted in the description by the developer.
Thanks for the link! Its a pretty good game...and its free!
dude I love this game!!! thanks for this

[Q] Posting reviews in Xoom Market

Is there a way to post app reviews from the Market on the Xoom? I couldn't figure it out.
I also can't post reviews to the web Market site if I only installed the app on the Xoom. The site says I have to install it before writing a review...

Promote Android App

how to promote my android app for free???
I guess you can find many promotion methods after you install an app from Google Play.
Splash window,
Push notification,
App recommendation inside an app.
Corporate with other developers and promote apps for each other.
...
Well, at least the first three promotion methods can be found in most of the apps from Google Play.
But who knows more promotion methods?
You may install swably and share your apps in there, its community where dev and customer share thoughts about lots of app

As previously stated, Swably is a free way to promote & share apps. That's probably your best bet.

Oops, after I install this app from Google Play, I'm stuck in the Connect through a network page, and it gives me three options: Facebook, Twitter, Google+. However, if I choose Facebook, it takes long time to load and then gives me the message of "Connect to...timed out".

can you access Facebook on your phone?
subscribe to getjar and publish your app. or publish your app on Amazon appstore....
OR
Go To This Site and Publish [media.droidtweak. com / android-app-marketing] (Copy and paste it remove spaces, m a new user so i cant post outsider links, m jus trying to help, sorry moderators)
OR
Before you make any sort of promotional effort, you need to do the following:
1) Make sure you have a good rating. Get 10 friends to give you 5-stars. Nobody wants to download an unrated app (or even one with less than 5 ratings).
2) Add a video on the app store. It doesn't need to be pro, just something that gives a good indication of what your app does.
3) Make sure your screenshots are good and your description is accurate. The first sentence is the most important for describing what the app does.
After it's on the store (free version):
1) Post in forums
2) Submit it to review websites
3) Write up a press release (catchy headline, what your app does, why is it better - have a good angle) and send it to every news / tech / related website you can find. Who knows, 1 or 2 websites out of the 100s might write something about you, which can get you 100s of downloads. It's worth the hours it takes to do this. Also, use some Mail Merge software to make it personal (as simple as "Hi [name]").
4) Find influential twitter users that you think would use your app. Send them a message - dont harass them though. Be sincere. If they like it and they haven't tweeted about it, ask them to.

New android app - need exposure
Hi everyone,
I'm a noob here (hopefully I'm not violating any rules) and was hoping to post one of my android apps here to help it gain some traction. My 11 year old son worked with me on this app, I would just like to keep him motivated by seeing some success.
Lately with the way the android market has become saturated, it has been very tough to get your app discovered.
I only do this as a hobby on the side. I have only developed games, they are all pretty simple games, no 3D or anything like that.
I recently released a dice game app (variation of Yahtzee), That I think some people would like.
It has some online challenge features with scoreloop, and an extra game mode.
My downloads to date are pretty poor, and was hoping to gain some exposure.
here is the link on the google play store:
play.google.com/store/ apps/details?id=com.anndconsulting.yahtzeecrag
I have a free (ad supported) and paid version released.
developer ID is ANND Consulting Games
Thanks for the help
Please let me know , if there is a better way of doing this, and I apologize in advance if I have violated and rules here.
When I was trying different methods to promote my app, I kinda noted it down. Here is brief about what I did:
http://obscurant1st.biz/blog/how-to-promote-android-app/
1. Never use push notifications aka push it to people's notification centers. People will perceive it as spam, and never download it. Ever.
2. Contact several Android news sites, and tip them that your *special* app is available. With special, i mean, really special. Don't even do it if it's a fart app or a stupid and useless app. You don't deserve the attention.
3. XDA. Publish it in the app section. People will find it and download it. People will use it if it's any good, or people will complain if it's ****; and you'll deserve it.
Bottom line: Build it, and they will come. Exploit the system in a bad way and you'll go nowhere. Don't piss people off with annoying ads.
From my very recent experience, getting a review on a major website with tons of viewers will get you a ton of attention. Websites like android police and android central have a ton of views per day.
My usual promotions were to post on forums. If you were lucky and people paid attention to your app, they'd download it. The more downloads you get, the higher chances of it showing up on Top New apps or just Top Apps. Once you get on that list, its when the app will finally take off. Its took 2.5 weeks for my live wallpaper to get to top 10 new paid live wallpapers and top 10 new free live wallpaper. The Top Paid live wallpaper is easy to get on as only a few purchases will qualify the app.
Anyway, back to my point about the review. My app was doing ok and there was a consistent downloads per day then it started to decline a little. But all of a sudden, my google wallets account exploded with purchases and my free version with admob banners, the requests and impressions exploded. I was shocked and had no idea what was going on. Then, a quick google of my app, revealed that android police decided to give my app a review. i was shocked. I never asked them to review it, so it was pretty much free publicity. If you look at the little graph on the right side of my app, you'll see how it was starting to decline, then all of a sudden, it shot up.

Here's the review on my app.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...e-way-to-track-your-lithium-ion-expenditures/
Main points:
1. Post on forums
2. Get a review done.
Side note, I've never seen a good app not get downloads. All good apps will get tons of downloads.

In other words: what you say about yourself, is advertising. What others say about you, it's public relations - much more effective way of promotion, but much much more complicated, too.

Hi Michal,
In general the runner is OK, tested for 2 min and rated your game 5 star with a small comment.
The game developed with taste and I really liked it. Good first start.
Notes
- Sounds are great, but some background music should be added.
- Ingame control tutorial is OK, but it needs to be a bit longer for users to get fully adopted to the gameplay and controls.
- Game is getting difficult from the start, needs to be more easy to encourage players (retention)
- Banner ads place is not chosen correctly - it covers main menu (Samsung GT-S7500 test)
that's it for now ....
Questions.
What is your eCPM?
How did you generated about 180 reviews for 1000-5000 downloads?
How long this game was developed?
How many people worked on the project?
Who have chosen sounds?
IMPORTANT
Let's not to forget that we should review each others apps as well . Our apps are as follows:
God Toys (priority!)
My Movie Quiz
Talking Putin: Machete
GraviTire 3D
GraviTire 3D HD
Talking Obama:Terrorist Hunter
Слова и Фотки
Words and Pics
Palabras y Fotos
Hope the list is not that long
Looking forward to your response.
p.s Once met a Polish couple in our country, nice people ...
