Hello guys. Is there a way to download apps without using google account and sync? Is there a way to download, for example, dolphin mini hd without android market or appbrain?
A secure e legal way of course.
Thanks you really
amazon app store
thanks, is there anything without registration needed?
Search google for the (appname).apk and download it. Then copy it to your phone with a USB cable.
Or just use the phone browser

Yep, you've read that right: I'm looking for a way to download some FREE apps from google play without having the market installed. To make a long story short: I don't like the market to know what my phone runs. So is there any software I could download there free app "My Callya" with? Have looked everywhere on the interwebs, but can't find it. I'd be more than happy about a download link to it though.
Why not use titanium backup, and just remove the market links after downloading it.

It's not about the links on my phone, but some issue I generally have about privacy when hearing the word "Google". Therefore, how to get the goodies without using the market?
If you're not going to use Google Play, you'll have to use another market. I came across http://androidpit.com which might be useful to you. It also allows you to buy apps with paypal.
But isn't there a way to obtain the free APKs without such software?
Not from Google Play. It requires a unique device ID that you can only obtain by actually registering your device with Google.
And once you've done that you might as well just get it from Play.
Fair. Any other recommendable place where the device ID is not required?
No matter what you're using, you'll have to have a secondary market of some sort. There's also the Amazon Appstore which you can install from Amazon.com and it doesn't use your device ID, just your Amazon account. Really, you just have to choose a place you trust since you seem to be really concerned with privacy and who stores data about what apps you have.
You can try Amazon, but you won't find all of the apps that are available in the Play Store. You can always search for the apks online, since people tend to post them for others that cannot access them for whatever reason. If you're interested in purchasing apps, Amazon would be the way to go, or most devs have a way to purchase from their website. Installing the Amazon Appstore will help you with a lot of apps that you'd like to download, plus they feature one paid app for free every day. If you "purchase" it while it's free, it will be tied to your Amazon account so that you can install it on another device as well or reinstall if you decide to uninstall it. Most of the free apps of the day are crap, but every now and then you'll find a good one.
I'll see if I can find the app you're asking for on the Market, download it, and post the apk for you.
Edit: Couldn't find the app on Google Play. I must not be able to access it due to screen resolution or OS version or something. If you know that it's in the Play Store because you've seen it from the website, maybe someone else can access it for you. If not, check the Market website and make sure it's still published and hasn't changed names or something.
Ohhh, and I think I read about an extension for Chrome that allows you to directly download apks from the Play Store website. I don't know if your Google account has to be registered to a phone or not.
kind of late but if anyone else is looking for a solution, this might work as stated above.
it basically turns the google play store links into downloadable .apk links
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
To get started, enter the web URL of any app listed on the Google Play store and click the “Generated Download Link” button. The APK download app will fetch the APK file from the Google Play store and will host it on its own servers from where you downlaod the file.
Since the APK files are directly fetched from the Google Play Store, it’s unlikely that the Android App will be infected with any malware. Also, to prevent app piracy, the APK downloader only lets you download free apps and games from the Google Play store, not the paid ones.

Interesting. Does this thing also load PRO-apps for free?
Hi all, Some services of Google(Youtube, etc) are blocked in my country and I'm unable to download any apps from Google Play.
Tried everything which was suggested in forums. E.g Market Unlocker Pro, Hotspot Shield VPN, and many proxies. One of many proxies worked last night by using which i was able to open google play but couldn't download apps. and Now I can't even view apps on Google Play. Now I think there's nothing left for me to try except sharing my problem. If there's any possible solution left. Then please suggest. Any help will b appreciated. Thanks
Hello!
I currently live in Beijing and just recently purchased a ZTE U795. It's a formidable phone, and quite cheap too.
I've gotten everything to work well, found a ROM on some Chinese site and managed to install it. The only problem is that I can't get the market to work, or Google Play for that matter. I thought perhaps that through a VPN I could manage to connect but VPN doesn't work.
Really I have two questions, is there a replacement to the built-in VPN system, is there some sort of app that can replace the default VPN system?
Or, is there some sort of work around to not being able to use Google Play on Chinese Androids?
What I've tried:
Modded Market
Market Enabler
Google Play + Google Frameworks + Google Account Settings (This got me the closest, I started putting my e-mail in, but it just wouldn't connect)
Market
What happens when I open Play Store:
Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped.
Apart from that, if anybody is interested about the phone, don't hesitate to ask!
Hi,
Is there a way to block purchase from within the phone? However, leave it possible to buy app from the Desktop (using Firefox & sign in to Playstore) and have the app pushed to the device.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Play always asks me for a password when purchasing an app, and you could set up a PIN too if you want.
You could install from a browser, but I'd recommend log in via computer and install apps that way.

Is it the same thing? When I buy an app using Firefox on my desktop, here is what I do:
1. Log in to my Desktop computer
2. Open Firefox
3. Sign in to Play store and buy the app
4. The app is then pushed automatically to my phone.
Can you show me how you did with "log in via computer and install apps that way" rather than using a browser?
Thanks
Hi.
I'm being tempted to buy the new Kindle Fire HDX because of the build quality, amazing speakers and amazing specs. What puts me off is the lack of Google Play store but my main concern is not being able to download and sign-in to Google services and apps such as Youtube, maps, Email, etc.
What alternative ways (or third-party stores) that i can download so i can use and sign-in to most (if not all) of Google services apps that i normally need and have?
Please advice.
Thanks.
Take a look at the forums. At this point you can flash your HDX so that it's basically Android 4.2.2. Thing like Google Apps will all work. I check Gmail and use Google Drive daily on my HDX.
HDX is the best 7 inch tablet on the market right now. Its only real flaw being Fire OS can be remedied by anyone even remotely competent.
1mobile app store works, and you can download most if not all of the google apps through that. All that's really missing is the play store.
My wife has the old Kindle Fire HD and i have downloaded the 1Mobile market plus Good e-reader and Aptoide successfully. I found most (but not all of them) Google apps there but i noticed that you can't sign-in to them especially Youtube. Gmail is no big deal as i can check my mails on my phone or Mac. And there is no Google+ which is a shame. Unless i'm blind or its there now but last night i can't find it.
I dont' want to root my Kindle Fire HDX as im not familiar in the first place and i am very satisfied with just sideloading apps and going through third-party app stores. If there is another way to download the Google apps & services then ill buy the Fire HDX today.
So, apart from the ones i mentioned above is there another way(s) to look for .apk files of my favourite Google apps like Google+, Youtube, Maps, Translate, Drive, etc.? Please??

I am not desperate but it would be awesome if one can install the Google Play store on a Kindle Fire without rooting.
