So it's ok to promote other peoples apps but not your own?

Yes I think that's ok. Ocuk have a rule not to promote anything that will have a financial gain for the poster so the same rule will apply to the likes of my app.

I haven't got a problem with that myself.

Anyone have Unified Remote?
I am probably being a nub here, but I can't get it to work

On the laptop its status is 'started' opposed to connected.
Firewall is not blocking it and so that's about the extent of what I know is wrong lol

Any ideas?

I'm not looking to promote this here as I know it's against the rules. But where can I push an application I've wrote other than the various android market type websites?

From the looks of it...it doesn't have Linux support.

Instead is there an app that will just allow me to remote access to my files via Wifi that will work with linux?

Hey guys, if I've installed a game that IS available on the market, but from a standalone .apk file, how can I sync it with my market account to show up for updates etc? Or can't I?

Is it a free game? Or Paid?

Titanium backup can integrate an app back into the market (if you moved device).

You could just back up the app data (using titanium) then download the app from the market and restore the data/settings.

It's AB Rio... I've got a saved .apk of the program, but naturally it doesn't show in the market for updates - and when I try to download it from the market it downloads, but won't install

Anyone used tTorrent? Looks like the best Android torrent client around, unless anyone has a better recommendation.

I did exactly the same.

Is there any way to back up the data if you haven't rooted?

Edit: I used this to back up my current Rio save. Uninstalled Angry Birds Rio, then installed from the market, restored the save using the app above. It restored the bananas and pineapples too, Job's a good'n.
