It has been requested a few time and now it is here! Stay updated on your latest Android downloads by subscribing to the forum RSS feed. For now this is forum wide and will show all new posts (which might start becoming a flood soon) but hopefully soon there will be separate feeds for each category. Check it out (top left of forum pages).

About 3 minutes ago we got our 50th member registering. Welcome xXJEDI007Xx, if we had prizes I would give you one! Hopefully everyone is finding this site useful and is spending less time searching the internet for downloads than you would without this site. Please make sure you are voting for applications you try so that other users know if they work or not before downloading. Also please post any new downloads you find elsewhere so I can add them to the downloads section. Thank you for registering and happy downloading!

Per user feedback it seems that I will not be able to make the main downloads component “device friendly” and since that is the main goal of this site, I am moving (copying for now) the downloads to the forums. Each download will be a separate topic and will have a direct link to the file so that they should be installable from your browser. As with everything else I do I would love feedback and opinions on this change.

(UPDATE) The move (or copy) is now complete. It took a few hours, but I made a new topic for each download and hard linked each apk file. I am hoping that G1 users will now be able to download and install directly from the site and no longer have to use a PC or their own private web server to install apps.

Registered users go here for the “new” downloads section.

I added a plugin and template that gives the site a mobile version. To view it on a standard browser, add ?template=pda to teh end of the address. Android’s browser is auto detected and displays it by default. Let me know if you dislike it or if it doesn’t work for you so I can look into it. I am trying to get the subdomain mobile.android-dls.com working but so far its a no-go.

I just read on a couple of sites that users are having trouble installing apps on their brand new G1 devices. It seems that you can either install over USB or via a web browser. The problem is some users do not have USB working and the sites that DO offer downloads generally do not have the correct MIME type setup for apk files. I have added this MIME type a few minutes ago and it should be updated within the hour. I am also currently unzipping all of my downloads and re-adding each file as a .apk file so that when you want to install it you will not have to download it on your computer and unpack it first. I would appreciate any feedback on whether this is working or not in the forums if possible.

Forum Downloads

I was on freenode in #android chatting with some of the people there about my site and about how I was trying to add an “Authors Site” line on each download. I mentioned how hard it was to track down some of the developers sites because some of them do not have one. I had an idea and decided to try it out as a “beta”.

Developers who have already released applications or games for Android but are lacking a site of their own and would like a place to release their programs and offer support can apply for a “mini forum” and be given control (mostly) of that forum. They would then be able to keep an updated sticky about their latest versions, add FAQs and provide basic support from that forum. As I am unsure as to how well this will work out, these forums will be given to VERY SELECT developers at first while I test it out. Check it out here.

11 more android game and application downloads added today. It is getting harder and harder to find anything downloadable for Android so each update I do is a big feat. Registering is NOT required to download, but please register to help this site grow. The larger it gets, the more files there will be to download.

Enjoy these latest Android downloads

I was messing around with the site and decided to see how badly it was rendered in IE and when I tried to load it I saw that it wasn’t being rendered at all. Seems IE was croaking and giving errors about unable to load the site. I tracked this down to my visitor heatmap module and have since removed it. I will set it to only load for Firefox users soon, but for now its best to just make the site functional.

I just added 5 new games from OmniSoft to the download section. All are supposed to be Android ready .apk files. Let me know in the forums of they do not work.

• OmniSoft City Stage Android Game
• OmniSoft 3D Nine Hole Golf Android Game
• OmniSoft Snow Rally Canada Android Game
• OmniSoft Super-G Stunt Android Game
• OmniSoft Volcano Island Android Game

As reported by >androidguys.com a few minutes ago, Android devices are flying off of the shelves faster than they can be placed there. 1.5 million G1s have been sold already! I read reports that Android was “expected” to sell 400,000 units by the end of the year and it seems that number was a very inaccurate guess. Android is only out on one device so far and its already on its way to one and a half million users. I won’t even bother trying to guess the total sales by the end of the year or after the next Android device is released. The good news about this is that there are now 1.5 million more users scrounging around and begging for applications to use on their shiny new G1 and that will help developers put out more software. Here is to Android global domination (isn’t this something we are taught to fear from movies like iRobot?).
