Is it faster than the previous versions on cm7?
Well, I didn't see any noticable upgrade in speed. Still you get the newest version
what about screen resolution
when i update google maps from market the map is not that clear and takes more time to load on cm7 but flashed version of gapps-mdpi-20110301-signed works fine. am i the only one facing this problem?
i have attached screen shots of mdpi and updated one please help
That is common to all maps versions above 5.0. Fonts are not clear on small screen devices. But there is a option to enable large fonts in Labs. Enabling it makes the fonts more readable. But still other signs are blurry. What is the maps version in that gapps bundle you mentioned?

Does navigation work on countries which normally don't ?
hi folks,I cannot be the only person on xda with this problem,which is,how to search through 4000 apps in MY APPS that I want to keep listed but would like to be able to find the one I want/need in less than a week.
any ideas/advice ?
I would prefer an app that can use different filters,like age,device etc etc.
I presume google refuse access to apps/software that would make this possible,its ridiculous that I have to install a seperate app to find the apps I have paid for,or muck about in a browser at my google account history to even do that simple task.
have looked for years and still not found a tool for searching my apps,and google do not appear to want to make it possible.
I just use the search function in Google Play Store.
I try to put everything on my google play wish list, so if I uninstall the app and delete it from "myapps" on play store I can always find it via my "wishlist". Sometimes I forget to put it on the wishlist before first install.. After I uninstall it I have no "add to wishlist" link how can I put that app on the wishlist - is there a hack for this?
I read in the forum that Google Play store has a hard limit on it's wishlist - (2708332) as well and I know the way I use the wishlist is probably not what Google Play intended but this is the simplest way to track apps - right? What I would really like is a way of tracking and sharing Android Apps similar to what you do with Mozilla collections for add ons so I can group apps in my own custom category lists. When I need to install them in the future I can find them from my own custom lists without using the brain damaged play store search. Is there anything out there that can let me define custom lists of apps I occasionally want to install , use and uninstall on an ad-hoc basis ?
Hi,
I plan to degoogle my phone to clean memory and avoid spying.
I found an alternative for every app but I can't replace google maps because i'm working with the uber-driver app and this application search for the google maps binary to allow navigation once you click on its "NAVIGATE" button (It opens the required itinerary in the google maps application.)
What i need is a fake Google maps apk that is installed as "com.google.android.apps.maps" and that will make a redirection of the given itinerary to another maps app of my choice ("Here Wego" and "Maps.me" are awesome alternatives)
As i know there is no such app inside the nanodroid package.
Is it a planned feature from microG or is there a such application somewhere ?

I don't think just replacing the package name of another maps app will do the trick, because it's likely that uber integrated more deeply google map in their service rather than just "calling the app". I'm not sure tho as I never used it.
Re:
No it is not so deeply integrated.
Their own maps are deeply integrated but when you choose to use google maps as navigator in settings it will opens Google maps as a separated app (new window) once you click on the "navigate" button.
The problem is that uber detects only google-maps or waze as alternatives external apps for navigation.
If your phone's Android is rooted you may consider to redirect the APK from installed Google Maps app ( /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps-2.apk ) to APK of another installed maps app of your choice ( e.g. /data/app/com.here.app.maps-2.apk) , means to create a link.
not sure

It's not sure it will work since Uber detects the installation of the Google Maps app.
If it's an in-depth analysis, a simple symbolic link won't be enough.
I just found a fake maps app inside this package :

I'll have to try it.
EDIT-- This post is super old (but still works).
Another method (maybe better for your use case?) is the Aurora store. Please see the COMMENTS SECTION.
How To Download any app on the playstore, Without installing GMS, GAPPS, AMAZON, Or any other App Store
EVOZI:
https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
GOOGLE PLAY STORE:
Android Apps on Google Play
Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.
play.google.com
Simply paste the playstore link to evozi, of the app you want to download!
This is not warez, you Can Not Download Paid apps.
This site just caches and backs up all our favorite apps.
Rarely, if you're looking for something too obscure, it will not be able to locate it.
Have Fun
Google Play Store lets you download and install Android apps on an Android-powered phone or tablet or emulator if GMS Core already are installed thereon.
Sometimes evozi will say something about "you're being rate limited" and it won't work. I think this is bc they are getting too much traffic. I use Evozi in this example, as it is the cleanest (adless) experience, but do bare in mind you can always use other Mirrors~! sites like APKpure.com are mostly safe
any idea how does https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ work as am trying to automate some work and i dont want to depend on apk-downloader or any other mirror
@synackers sorry I just now had the time to research what I wanted to share. There's a "store" that has access to the playstore repositories, that is open source, and gives the user the freedom to choose to enable google features or not. This works on windows phones too and I would guess WSA too?
It is called the "aurora store" it's website is here:
auroraoss.com
This is still new to me so I can not explain it personally but the knowledge is available
This article explains a little about it and shows pictures
Maybe they have a github repo somewhere you can obtain the code you need to dl things
Hope it helps!
Hi Jeneh , to be honest am not interested in any open source apk mirroring available in internet
am seeking to understand how auroraoss or evozi actually works behind the screen ... how do they give you apk to be downloadable is also fetched from other mirror or do they have google developer and google offer any api to play store ..etc
more deep technical details is of my interest . i do appreciate your feedback
@synackers The Aurora Store is different from evozi or other sites like evozi, in that it actually accesses the repositories, ie the link to the android app in question.
For instance: to download the app "Termux" a call is made to get the app from com.termux and it goes on to install and build from there, the latest software.
When using evozi or apk mirror, they save actual hard copies of the apps to their servers to share to users, which could be any older version of the app.
Evozi regularly redownloads the more popular apps from the play store and they take requests. However there is No version choice available. The downloaded apks hash signatures will match the playstore app sigs for that app version.
Sites like apk mirror and others tend to keep all the older app versions and provide a choice which version to download. This is my only use case for these as they are more risky and you should vet the sigs on them.
Here is aurora's gitlab https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore
This link has all the code to be able to go through and find exactly what you need.
Some info on the code
"Aurora Store was originally based on Sergei Yeriomin's Yalp store. Aurora Store v4.0 is a rewrite of version 3 in Kotlin"
The developer of the store has made a page here on xda that maybe they would be willing to give better insight to a specific question you have in the installation process to provide the technicals.
Outside of Aurora, it may be beneficial to learn about PackageInstaller to be able to manually install and or uninstall apps with code. Or Package Manager, if you open that spoiler and select the "PM" option you can see all the code for using it.
Hi Jenneh ,
much appreciate your response and cooperation |
https://www.codevoila.com/post/77/how-to-install-or-uninstall-an-android-apk-file-programmatically this is definitely valuable and its crystal clear for me on how aurora works.. i had a glance at the code in github .
now my challenge or use case which i want to achieve is as following ;
1. need to take APK directly from play store ( i dont mind if google offer paid API which am not aware or seen )
this should be automated off android physical phone / or emulator
working in other project ^^ and stuck in this point
what i have noticed indeed evozi take package from playstore cause i checked an APK which recently was published and not available in any other mirror site
Aruroa still need mobile phone or emulator to work
Thanks again and appreciate your cooperation
With regards to thread's title "Download Any Apk Off The Playstore Without installing Google, AMAZON, or Any other APP Store" take note that you of course need an app store to get APKs from.
Never make use of Aptoide: it's Large, Decentralized, Dangerous.
Aptoide is one of the most sophisticated app sources. The store works with a distributed network of different store providers and combines them on a unified platform. However, this poses significant security risks.
Truely not what am seeking , any mirror is not an enterprise grade options cause security risk is high so if there is any way to download directly apk from play store without the need for emulator or device would be much appreciated
The app store with least security risks is Google Play Store.
Apps from outside of the Google Play Store are also scan using Google Play protect on the device, it is a security risk to install apps outside of the Play Store but as long as you trust the app developer you should be fine.
well, what is the case if i need to automate a way for MDM solutions
IDK.
Probably MDM isn't not applicable if the managed devices differ in Android version and ARM architecture.
