Howdy all,
I have had this app ready to publish for several months now, and I finally found the time to actually publish it. It's too bad that it's not nearly as useful now as it was when I made it. But I hope that someone else can benefit from the work as well.

For sideloading? My brother has a Kindle Fire HD and he is not tech savy enough to root it (without me around) and there are some apps that he wants but can't find on Amazon's app store. I told him he can sideload most apps (although they might not work well or at all on the Fire HD) and he is interested in doing that. I just need a good source to pluck apk's off the net. I've googled it but some of the sites don't look so, how should we say this, trustworthy...................
Thanks
There is a script available that lets you download the APK's dirrectly from the play store website.
Can't get more trustworthy than that!

You can try some chrome extesions, but there are few apk sites as well that provide reliable apks.
Best website to download apks
Best website is apk4fun.com
You'll get all the latest apks from play store.
Hope that I helped you
Or perhaps help me to help my co-worker to compile the app for me, as he's had a go and he says it says a library is missing even though the source code includes the library. I don't know the specifics (I'll ask tomorrow), but perhaps if you're giving this a go you'll encounter the same issue.
So the app is Permission Denied over on Google Code. It's on Google Play for a few quid, but unfortunately not on any app stores where I can buy it (like Amazon). There are a few APKs floating around online, including on Google Code, but they're all either dodgy or too old to work on Jelly Bean.
Any takers?
Thanks
The source includes the needed library, yes, but you need to bind the library to your project (more info in the RootTools web).
Thanks man. I'll pass the info on

Hmm, looks like my last post is dated 1970 :-/
Anyway our app developer has given up trying to compile the app for me, which I think either says he doesn't like me, or he's not very good. I'm pretty sure it's both.
Would anyone here like to help out if it's not much trouble? Thanks
A quick search here brought nothing up what i'm looking for. so here's my question(s):
is there yet an app for android out with spritz-technology?
is the comunity aware of that interesting approach of reading technic?
does someone already digging into that stuff?
rumors saying samsung s5 and gear2 will be delivered with spritz technology preinstalled.

OpenSpritz-Android
"OpenSpritz-Android is a Spritz-like .epub reader for Android 3.0+ (API 11)."
It doesn't come in a pre-compiled APk from what I can tell. I am looking in to how to compile it to an APK now--but I have no experience in it.
Please post a link if someone can get an APK for it. I would love to use it!
search for open spritz android on github, because aparently XDA won't let me post links until I have posted more...
I see why there's not just an app for it yet. It would require book files to be loaded like ROMs, which is not an attractive option to most folks.
Once it's integrated with a Kindle app for instance, it'll really take off.
I think someone should work it into a public-domain library to start off. A public domain kindle style app with spritz as one of 2 options to read. I'd love to work thru the public domain classics.
Found this Spritz App clone - more of a proof of concept i guess - but has source code and an installable APK as well - but only works with txt files

Tried the Kpritz clone version. It works but it's not really ready for prime time. Love the concept though! I hope the dev works on it a bit more.

The best one to implement this I've found is called "Balto Speed Reading", link to the Play Store app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balto.wolf.speedreading&hl=en
Using Spritz
Can i use Spritz technology in my app ?
I won't use Spritz code - it's simple similar implementation.
I recently received a new matepad in the UK and have been struggling for days to get anything up and running so far.
Successful so far is YouTube Vance, it's the only Google related app that I've managed to get working.
Any third party app I've tried is either outdated or outright doesn't run on the device. Examples are Lzplay chatapp and insalling everything manually.
Nothing has worked so far. I was also wondering why there isn't a development channel for this device as it has such big potential but just suffering from the lack of a play store.
Any advice / help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried all the usual stuff but it's hard to find anything online about this tablet.

Youtube Vanced isn't a Google authored app.
Due to an order of the madman in the White House, Huawei since almost a year is no longer allowed to pre-install Google Play Store and/or GMS on their devices.
You have to install Google Play Store ( consists of 4 APKs ) and/or GMS manually by yourself.

Hi thank you for your reply. I'm aware of the reasoning behind the idiotic decision, I was just wondering for my device specifically speaking as its so new and has a lot of problems with the preexisting methods. I've found no way to load GSM onto the device as of yet and made this thread to explore if there were any potential way whatsoever. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.
