Hi,
In an app of my own, I plan to let the user select installed apps. However, instead of listing installed apps alphabetically, which will be confusing for "normal" users, I plan to list them by category.
The question is : is there any way to know the market category of an installed app ?
So far, I found no way to do it.
Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone has thought of or better still started to build an XDA App Store.
I am thinking of an app we can all download to our phones, it will auto see what phone you have and only show those apps from XDA users, auto download updates of installed apps, auto download dependancies etc.
I have used an iphone hacked with cydia and such and it is much easier for downloading programs in this manner.
Just my 2 cents guys, I do hope we see something someday.
I know that you said that it should be XDA-specific, but another option is called App2Date.
Take a look here:

I was thinking of making one myself, but I definitely do not have time to even start such a project. I'm fairly busy with other ones.
Its not quite what I imagined.
That program does the updates, but like cydia for a hacked iphone you should be able to download new programs as well.
I honestly don't think it would be too hard or dificult to make.
All we really need is an app to list the programs based on the device and wm version your currently running.
The only problem will be to find somewhere to store the apps. A solution could be a simple databased maintaned and hosted by XDA, that will list the program name, details, OS and device information (so you can get the correct version for your phone) and a direct download link to the cab file. This way the apps can be hosted anywhere and we can avoid having to run and pay for a huge data transfer of programs.
I can possibly help with the database if anyones interested in helping to write the actuall app. Then the listings can be maintaned by xda registered users.
Hi,
i am one of the developers of mobile2day.com an we have the possibility to provide a big database with applications mapped to several devices. So we can show only applications for a specific device.
We have allready a mobile solution running on http://mobile2day.mobi/en/usd/index.html where you can buy and download applications. Maybe we can think about to add beta software, too.
Please, if you are interested feel free to contact me.
I was owner of an iPhone before I bought my Touch Pro and besides the fact that the iPhone is not that good it has one big advantage: The AppStore
I would love that kind of store for WM Apps

Some Options for you
There are many alternatives:
1- SlideMe (application can be downloaded to ur device)
http://slideme.org/
2- Opera Market (accessed thru the opera browser home page)
3- Amazon AppStore (application can be downloaded to ur device)
www.amazon.com/appstore
4- GetJar: http://www.getjar.com/
5- Handandgo: http://www.handango.com/
These are for me the best alternatives for official market. But there are many others. Check the link below from wikipedia citing a list of application stores for various operating systems.

Hope this helps.
I can suggest another: moborobo market.
Hope it helps

I've had my Note for almost 3 weeks and have been fiddling around installing and uninstalling stuff both from the Market and also from Samsung. Today I found an app listed as installed on my device and linked to the Market and I have no idea what it is, how or got there or how to remove it. I think it might be a Korean keyboard, at a guess, but I certainly didn't knowingly install it and I want it gone from my list of apps in the Market. The option to uninstall from within the Market is not offered.

It's possible it got linked to the Market when I used Titanium Backup, in the hope of improving administration of my device, but maybe my enthusiasm has backfired on me. Trouble is, since the app is entirely described in foreign characters I don't know where or how to find it using Titanium or anything else in the hope of remedying my apparent error. Any ideas? Thanks.
I might add that I even factory wiped my device, and after initially syncing my account again this wretched thing was once again listed as installed in the Market.

Heaven, Earth is a Hangul input method.
※ How to Install
1. Marketplace> "Heaven, Earth, Samsung IME" search> download and install it.
2. Select Menu> Settings> Language and Keyboard> Samsung keypad to select it.
3. Press and hold in the text input window> Input Method> "Samsung Keypad" to select.
Target Model: Nexus S
You can copy the characters to find it. Between root explorer and titanium backup you should be able to eliminate it. Knowing that it is a keyboard you should be able to locate the files and remove the appropriate ones. I was able to locate this in the market. The app name is 삼성 천지인 입력기(Nexus S전용). Use this name in your searches by copying and pasting.
Thanks for the detailed reply. It seems that Appbrain has a better description for it than the Market. It is the "Samsung Keypad". I've now located it with Titanium and unlinked it from the Market, which is all I really wanted to do, as I did not like seeing it listed when I was checking through my installed apps list.
At least it isn't some malicious app that sneaked onto my device through any of my butter-fingered fumblings.
I know that every per per install network requires you to integrate their SDK into your app before enabling you to promote your apps.
But in ayeT-Studios doesn't require SDK. How in the world will they know if the user actually installed the app or just clicked its ad and never installed it after opening Google store?

They have an app called CashPirate, and all the user incentivized downloads are started from this app. So they can detect every app installed on the device and match with the apps that the user clicked on CashPirate.
In general, it does not seem to be a scam, there is a discussion about the service on makingmoneywithandroid website.

I used ayetstudio for few times, and i really like it...It is not a scam...working well and cheap...
Ayet studios is using advanced codes and it tracks the device of its users and so it matches the apps on users device to the ads clicked and that is why it is without any skd. It is very cheap and I am also its user.
ayeT-Studios has cheaper price for install. But it quolity is not perfect, I use it with other install sources.
As stated, the sdk integration is not needed because we use our own traffic sources (CashPirate and GiftPanda).
But we do now offer a free tracking sdk to enable some more features (CPA campaigns, easier managed campaigns, CPE) and give you even better fraud prevention!
Greetings,

I don't really know ayeT-Studios but there are lot more other ASO providers available if someone looking for incentivized traffic. I'm using Android Installs services since a year and I have never problem with the delivered installs. Most of the times I've got extra installs on the top what I've ordered. Unfortunately they have no refferal system, but I share it: androidinstalls.com
I'm a Developer and I know exactly that no need any integration to track app installation or open.
Is there a good app to get a quick overview of all installed apps, their targeted SDK and if they use the new 6.x backup feature?
The app should at least be able to show a list of all installed apps and sort them by "Target SDK". It would be even better, if it could check, if the developer opted out from the new backup feature of Android 6.x.
I did a search on the GooglePlay and found App Detective. It allows to sort apps by "Target SDK", but it hasn't been updates for two years, so it mixes SDK versions and Android version names and there is no feature to check for the new backup feature.
Do you know other apps, that are better and/or still in active development?
