Does anybody have "Leave Devil Alone" on their Android market? I cannot find it on my Froyo phone or even on the Market website.
I'm bummed about having bought the game and it seemingly being pulled without warning. I reset my phone to factory default and figured I would just reload my apps from the Market.
I realize that in such instances, you are talking one or two bucks, but I guess I went into this with the Steam mindset of once you buy something, you can re-download it whenever you want it.
I wonder why they pulled this from the market, was looking for this and I just realized that it was gone. You think it got removed because it was malicious?
Well, it's back on the Market, but I'm confused why there is the 1.06 version on the Market and the 2.0.7.1 version going around?
What is the difference?
Perhaps somebody else published it? The old app was a pay app (and worth it), but this one seems to be free. I hope they improve it.
I still have the APK backed up for the old paid app, but if you didn't buy it when it was available, it doesn't let you play.
v1.0.6 may be the new shelves,A few months ago, a large number of Chinese games were withdrawn

From the developer in an email reply:
Bloat Freezer was removed from the market again by Google last
Thursday Sep 22. This was exactly one week since it was removed the
first time Sep 15th. We have sent the appropriate department at Google
an email simply asking WHY it was removed twice a day now, since Sep
15th. WE HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE.
In the next few days, Bloat Freezer will be back on the market, with a
new Icon and description, but the app will stay mostly the same.
Everyone will have to purchase the new version again to use it, there
is nothing we can do about this, we will of course refund your old
version (again) after you purchase the new version and email us the
order numbers.
Follow us on Twitter for updates @BloatFreezer.
We will not be able to respond to any emails until the new Bloat
Freezer is available.
Sorry for the trouble (again). I feel like I am having to deal with
Apple here, not Google, what the hell is going on?

Way to go Google, behaving just like Apple!!!
Cant we just like.. Get the .apk from elsewhere?
I tried installing on another phone from a copy (ver. 1.86) I have on my DroidX (paid for btw) - it will install BUT when you run it the app tries to update itself and gives you only 2 options, UPDATE which jumps to the market and says app removed or QUIT which closes the app. So even if you manage to get it installed you will not be able to use it. I would love to know how this market update crap is keeping the app from running whether you choose update or not.

The first time you run Bloat Freezer it checks with the Market to make sure that you paid for it. Since it has been removed from the Market the app cannot check the payment status. It then gives the update error. It doesn't really need an update it is just throwing up an inaccurate error message. If this issue with Google is not resolved those of us who have paid for the app and need to reinstall it can never use it again.
wth doesn't he just put it on the amazon app store if google is being difficult?

I want to know what is going on with this app. I have paid for it on two different google accounts (mine and my wife) and I had my brother buy it also. Now he has reset his device and can no longer install and use what he paid for. That is not right. The developer has been silent for over three weeks (he twitted once) and doesn't return emails sent to him. There is no mention of this on his website and he still has a non working link to buy it from the market. People who paid for the app deserve to know what is going on. What happens to my frozen apps if for some reason the app stops working and I cannot get it working after reinstalling it due to it checking the market for a license the first time it is run?
The new Photos app does not auto-enhance photos, and I really liked that feature. I tried looking for an old Photos apk but this new one seems to be the first one. So I figured it was part of the Google+ package. I uninstalled Photos and cleared all updates from Google+, but still no old Photos app. Am I missing something?
I have a T-Mo Galaxy S6.
Ran into your problem yesterday, there are 2 ways:
restore your phone to factory lol or,
uninstall google+ (as photos.apk is part of it) and install an older version <5.6 so 5.5 will do the trick, and do not allow updates of your google+ or photos.apk
It looks like the option to uninstall updates from google + is no longer available, which is what I relied on in the past. Now with no root on a note 4 att model, I'm screwed and stuck with the new crappy photos app unless I restore. Ugh!

Ok I solved my own issue. Even without the option to uninstall or uninstall updates on Google plus, I was able to install an older google plus apk, which includes the old photos app. Turn off auto updates of google plus and don't look back. I found the working apk here http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-91034052-android-4-0-3-android-apk-download/

I tried but the link is for Google+ and it doesnt bring back or restores the good old Photos app which had effects like retro, drama etc.
And I want that Google photos app back which was basically on Kitkat.
Any help??
is there any place to find out what each of these separate services are?? Id like to disable al the ones i dont use, but wont wreck my phone if i do...
for example, "wearable".... i dont have a smart watch, so would it not apply to me?? Icould post all the onces that are running (and therefore im concerned with stopping) if it would help?? Anything to save some ram (i know, i know... phones are supposed to use ram... then explain why zedge freezes wehn i try to listen to ringtones.... or why my other games can stutter.... lack of ram)... i figure if less things claim ram, more is availebl to play games with
Is there really nobody who has played around with this and knows what is safe to disable? or even, what they do specifically? google searching them is very unclear

Realistically you only really need Google play services and the play store. The rest are as needed
Sent from my Nexus 5
You can download Disable Service from google play and disable some of the services you dont need.

Hello,
Can someone provide assistance as have the Ace which of course is a Chinese verison. Have change and using with English are there any apk to get English themes and colorOS apps installed as these still only show Chinese ? Any other tricks to use this great phone in English?
Cheers
I got mine a few days ago and I've been playing with it. I uninstalled every chinese app I could. I went to apkmirror and downloaded the google play store apk and it works great. I don't use the Oppo store.
There are some issues though. Particularly Google Assistant cannot replace Breeno, ColorOS launcher cannot be replaced, Oppo's messages app cannot be replaced by anything else and for some reason swiping down on any home screen activates chinese search.
first report
I got my phone yesterday. From the CECT shop. Unfortunately I ordered via DHL Express - it cost me 96 euros import sales tax and fee. Very annoying. With Europe Priority Line I would have had no additional costs. CECT Shop could have pointed this out. Of course that's somewhere but who reads all of this ...
About the device: the hardware is great - the software is crap. I hope for an update. The most unpleasant thing for me is that I cannot make the Nova Launcher the standard launcher. I could use it to bend any other problems. I will continue to report ....

Use breeno browser, go to or search for www.apkmirror.com in apk mirror, download google play store. when it downloads, it'll ask you if you want to load the apk. It did not ask me for an oppo ID.
Any Luck?

If you use adb this can remove the Chinese global search with Google but you must have Google installed first.

Did CECT not install Google play for you? I got it from the same place took ages to avoid taxes but got it and now using it.
Hey What's up guys,
So following on from my banking segments i thought id cover off Popular apps next.
So some of the top apps i have successfully been able to install and run without side loading GMS. This again has been done via Phone Clone, Huawei App Gallery, Petal search which draws from APK stores.
Microsoft Office
WhatsApp and i was able to transfer my chat history
Facebook
TikTok
Instagram
Twitter
Messenger
Spotify
Netflix
Snapchat
Disney Life
CODM
And many more. A lot of people still think you cant get these apps or that its very difficult to do so, or that you have to sideload GMS. Hopefully this helps build a better understanding of what you can get and with ease.
Let me know what you guys have managed to install Without sideloading GMS and did you know about getting all these apps?
What is the point? The list will be huge. Are you going to maintain this huge list of thousands of software?
Do you have some sort of website to do this effectively .. or just a random list of software in a forum in no particular order?
what is some apps work 90% ok but have a minor glitch? will that be addressed in your website for this new database?

To add to this, check out what people are installing on amazon fire tablets as a workaround, you may find it useful!

Hi, i completely understand where you are coming from. I am only trying to share my experience and see what others have found. I'm new to forums so this may not be as well laid out as your use to but ill get better with time. If you have noticed any glitches with any of the above apps then it would be cool to know about your experience.

Thank you for this i will check it out. Have you fund any particular app store that's worked best? i have been testing a few.
meh ive got the p40 pro and ive been fine using it, googles not everything. I used google for email, browser, maps and downloading apps, didn't use google books didn't use google pay after using it and having my account hacked and multiple credit and store cards taken out!! I googled it and its more common than you think.)
I still use gmail but just use their email app, I used their browser at first but recently started using duck duck go, I use here we go maps as that's the 2nd best offline navigation next to google maps and downloading apps? Went straight to app gallery and downloaded petal search which gives me everything..
Everyone's different and if you need Google then get a phone with it on but im enjoying the freedom!
