What options do I have to purchase a play store app for another account?
Recently my wife gave birth to our son and I purchased the tinycam pro app to use with my d-link DCS-932L as a baby monitor. After some tests I was satisfied with the results and decided to buy the app for my wife's google account, so she can monitor our child with her own phone. It was a surprise when I found that goo...

Hardware backed Credentials Storage on Galaxy Nexus
First, I hope I choose the right stackexchange for that question. Android 4.3 introduces a "Hardware-backed" Credential Storage. If I go to Settings->Security under the "Credentials-Storage" Header there is a (non- clickable) option "Storage-Type" which is set to "only Software". How to set it to "Hardware-Backed"? I a...

Where does Google Play Music v5 store music locally?
I know this question has been answered for older versions of the app, but where does the most recent app store offline music? Clearly the mp3's I've selected are downloaded - because they play without an internet connection. But the default location for offline music is empty. Any ideas guys?

Why app updates download entire app instead of only "Updates"?
I find it rather strange that for updating an app in Android (or even iOS) the entire app is downloaded instead of only the actual "Updates". The reason I find this strange is because in Windows while updating an app, only the update files are downloaded...not the entire app which is more practical as it saves both t...

Motorola Triumph & HyperShell in Titanium Backup
It would seem that Titanium Backup, everyone's favorite root backup tool (right?), does not particularly like the Motorola Triumph—or vice versa. I've been having problems with restoring apps (only the Manual, APK installer method works) and integrating system updates (it just hangs, and then the app it hung on is brok...
