What will happen to applications purchased from the Android Market after flashing the phone?

Question

Android

Such situation. Never bought apps in the market.
There are several phones, I often change firmware on them: MIUI, CyanogenMOD, AOKP, etc.
So, I wonder if I buy an application, and then reflash the phone - will it remain purchased or will I have to buy it again?
Well, a passing question… having bought the application, can I install it on all phones in my account or only for which I bought it?

Answer 1

You won't have to rebuy.
What will happen to it after flashing - flashing will erase it, but it will remain in your account. When you sign in to GooglePlay, it will show up as purchased. It can be downloaded again.
The application can be installed on any device in the account with which it is compatible (otherwise it will swear).
Do not be afraid to buy - everything will be fine.

Answer 2

In order not to download again, you can save installed programs and games:
1. For non-rooted* AppMonster devices on Google Play AppMonster on w3bsit3-dns.com
2. For rooted* Titanium Backup on Google Play Titanium Backup on w3bsit3-dns.com
root is an administrator account, i.e. absolute rights (full access to the operating system, changing system files, backing up the system, launching special applications)

Answer 3

I agree with everyone who spoke, but there is one remark.
You didn't discuss in-app items, products that were purchased within the app.
For example, movies in a video app, or books in a book app, or artifacts in games. So, there are two types of in-app items - with a link to an account and without a link to an account. It depends on the developer and his goals. If the in-app item is not linked to the buyer's account, then after flashing the system, you will no longer be able to restore them and will have to purchase again.

Answer 4

I had a similar question at the time as well. There is a tablet - I bought a number of applications for it. A droidophone appeared, tied it to a Google account, went to the market and saw that you would not have to pay for a new one. It was written to me that the application was already installed, and it was not specified on which device, so I just re-installed it, but on the phone.

Answer 5

You will not need to buy anything - the application is bought for an account.
In the case of third-party firmware, there may be a problem with the fact that they do not have Play out of the box, but it can be solved.
