Search Android Market for "Challenge" and it will come up. IMHO Google should force prominent placement in the "featured app" section. Its too hard to find.
If you want to keep the app, when its downloading(before its installed), click on the notification that says it downloading(where it shows open/uninstall). Open the app and use it...Once your done using it, it should go back to the open/uninstall, open ADC2 from the notification bar, submit your review. After which it will uninstall. But when ADC2 closes you'll be at the application in the market and just click install.

It is a contest by Google to spur development and it means tons of new apps will be flooding the market. All android users are judges for the apps. And we get to try them out. Pretty cool system.
I've been trying this out today - found one good app (FlyScreen - a lock screen replacement that allows for multiple widgets to display while the screen is locked) - but I've found I have to go through several more pointless apps, and/or apps that are of no interest to me. A skip option would be nice, as I feel bad rating an app lower because I don't have a need for it (for example a twitter based app is not going to get a good rating if I don't use twitter).
That's all.

Thanks for the flyscreen gem. I will get that.
FYI - click "menu" in the ADC app on app that you don't want and skip away. I have skipped many apps. ;-)

I searched "flyscreen" and "fly screen" and didn't find the app. Any ideas?
I don't think ADC apps are available on the market (unless you follow the cheat above to not uninstall them). You can get it from FlyScreen | Zero-Click Access To Your Mobile Content | Welcome - although you need to request it from them as it's alpha testing only at the moment.
I come across an excellent app called Drocap , it basically takes screen shots of your phone and DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT.
You simply start the app , go to the screen to want to take a pic off and shake the phone. a notification then appears with your pic , So useful! I took a pic of my lovely British Home screen and a funny Comment i saw on the ADC2 comments Wanna see?
Unfortunately it's not on the Market nor is the dev. I done a google Search and found a tweet which seemed like it was from the Dev saying it would no longer work with 1.6 due to the Exploits being no longer usable.
Shame this app wasn't released months ago , this could have come in handy for those {like me} that don't want to ROOT their phones. I hope the DEV can make it compatible with 1.6.

Nice find Carl. I second your thoughts about knowing sooner.
Go to the ADC app and then press the home button..... You should hopefully then get a notification shortly after saying an app is ready to review like i did! My first app to review in the second round is ..... Xeeku Twitter

I had to uninstall/reinstall it :P
Seems like they have sorted the "click-it-as-it-downloads" trick I now have to hope it isn't protected
I like the idea of Open Gesture.. Just not sure I will use it over Sense..
Hi guys, just a quick note to say that my entry into ADC2 (Sonorox) is now available for free on the market for a limited time, so whether you are voting on adc2 or not you can grab the full one. If you are voting please keep an eye out for it and vote if you like it! :-D

If you could explain to me how a lockscreen program that lets you do things by touching the screen is useful, consider this man impressed.
I installed FlyScreen on my Droid; had a few issues which I've emailed to the developer. Does anyone here have any ideas?
- I've turned on Disable "Screen Lock"
If I am understanding this correctly this should mean that when the screen locks I should be able to simply touch the screen to bring it back online. On my Droid the screen still locks and I have to use the unlock button on the top of the phone to bring it back online which then brings me to the FlyScreen app.
- In the menu, when I select "Themes" it simply says Select activity and there is nothing to choose.
When is this going to be updated for Droid users? Aren't we the big market right now?
Based on Tmobile's sales in the US the Droid is the new darling but not the big market. I agree it would make sense to have you a part of the panel though. The ADC app is buggy though...and I have already uninstalled it a number of times.
Its a pic rearranged and you have to move the squares around to reform the image. Im not sure why I like it, I just do. Could be its just the nice bright images it uses, or the fact it seems to work so well. I could see myself playing this at least until Ive done all the puzzles on the hardest setting.

Guys who are running the Droid , I don't think Google marked the app as compatible with the Droid {screensize / resolution} so you will not find it {unless Google updates the app , which is unlikely being the competition has nearly finished}

Thats a good point actually, I think that googles app probably does scale fine to all screens (especially seeing as it justs a simple gui), but some of the ADC2 entries wont, and it would be unfair voting I guess if people saw a "broken" version of the app. I heard from some DROIDers that my app works (I must have based it on percentages for the drawing) apart from the main intro screen which is a png of the same screensize as G1, doh!
I guess you could argue that a good app will scale to all sizes of course :-)
I have downloaded sonorox and love it. Other than acd2, there are many other apps that do not show. I can download their demo versions but cannot find their full versions to download while others can. I just hope they fix this soon, I feel like I'm missing out
Nice! Glad you like it! major complaint is the lack of volume control altho I personally never saw this as a problem, the media volume controls it - next release will almost certainly have a volume control and more :-) Since making my app free its "sold" well over double as it was as a paid app, so I think it will remain free from now on, Im thinking of making my other one (lapsedroid) free too and charging say £1 for my next game (broken back) which will be done soon.
What device did you try it on? And if you get the chance vote it up in adc2 (sorry for shame plugs lol I want to do well)

I now have to hope it isn't protected
