Dear All!
Yesterday I got issue with running application on my Andriod devices.
I download/install .apk file from 4pda.ru forum, and receive message that I should buy this application from Amazon market.
I'm download apk file to PC and start review it.
I found that all .apk files from Amazon market contain several files that indicate about Amazon market:
com.amazon.content.id.MC-S-39GVGXDN65MNN
kiwi
META-INF\APKSIGNE.SF
META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
classes.dex
Simple remove/edit this files is not give any result.
I tried to search forum, but found nothing about this question.
Possible someone known how to make application 'forget' about Amazon?
Or if someone wanna to investigate this protection and we can pool our brain resources...
I think that this question again more than once in the future, because Amazon sells many Android devices (Kinlde Fire and someone install Amazon Market).
Thank you.

That would mean pirating the app and that is not allowed. The amazon app store has it hardcoded and removing the option is not allowed as the app will not run without the app store being installed.
XDA doesn't support doing this in any way. As it removes the security check.

Hi Guys!
I am a new member of XDA forum and this is my first request. I am currently in India and needed a free application "Quicken Money Management's APK file" from Intuit. Unfortunately this application is available only in the US Play store and not allowing me to download on my Sony xPeria S.
** Please note that my phone is not rooted as I have tried all methods but unable to root. So, I think advice to root or change the country code for play store will not work. I am providing you an attachment with the screenshot of error from Indian play store.
I would really appreciate if someone will provide the APK file of this tiny application to my email id: [email protected]. I needed this applications very badly. Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated :good:
Thanks in advance.:fingers-crossed:
Hi! Welcome to XDA. I'd like to help you with that file but I'm not sure if we're allowed to upload APKs from the market (since it's free maybe it's not such a big deal but rather play it safe!).
Have you tried downloading the file from the Amazon Appstore? They have that application available for download. Please see the link below!
http://www.amazon.com/Quicken-Total...4710&sr=1-1&keywords=quicken+money+management
Thank you... But Amazon gives me same error
Thank you for your reply. I forgot to mention that I have tried the Amazon.com website. It was the first thought in my mind to download it from Amazon.com store. When I tried to download, I got following message:
"We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase. Please refer to the terms of use for this product to determine the geographical restrictions."
So, I think it same as Google play store. After searching on Google play store, I found one application "APK SHARE", which you can download and share the installed applications from your phone. It search for all installed applications on your phone and give you option to share. I would really appreciate if you kindly spare some time to download it on your phone and then send me to my email id : [email protected].
Again, thank you so much for your valuable time.
Hey Guyz! I am still waiting for your response. I hope senior users will help me out with the application "Quicken money management's APK file.
Hi,
Kindly help in getting the app. Even I am looking for the same.
Finally managed to root my phone and download Quicken
Thanks for support!
Finally I managed myself to root my Sony Xperia S and downloaded "Quicken Money Management" from Play store. It is 100% working and I can sync my data with Quicken 2013 and mobile App.
I've searched on Play Store and found an application "App Share" to share any installed application. So, if anyone needed the APK file of Quicken Money Management, you can email me to [email protected] and I'll attach the file.
Thanks again guys!!
FIXED

Install this app and change to any us provider.
Just wanted to put this out there somewhere maybe it will help someone.
I recently purchased an Ematic FunTab Pro from Walmart.com and was able to install Google Play store by simply loading an older market.apk file.
All of the other Google Framework was already on this tablet.
Unfortunately the tablet I received had a damaged screen so I had to return it but wanted to let everyone know that it should be very possible to add Google Play to this tablet.
how do you load google play?
Hello,

I just searched it on Google. Just type something like "Google play store apk". I've got it installed on my little brother's fun tab pro but I can't figure out how to get it to work. It keeps force closing whenever I open it or when I try to install an app with it. I heard the Google framework doesn't come with the tablet, how did that other guy have the framework already there? Any help would be appreciated but I'm going to try a few more things to see if I can get it to work too. Thanks.
Same problem here, I bought two of them for my boys. Tryin to figure it out. I'm able to side load app from random websits. I'm not a big fan of that though.
I'm just using the slideme market for now. Its better than the broken app stores preinstalled
These things are horrible, nothing works, apps crash. I consider myself an advanced android user and this is pathetic. Im getting a headache. Were returning them back to Walmart later.
My solution:
Download APK extractor and Wifi file transfer (wifi transfer app optional) with registered android device.
Download desired apps to registered Android device.
Use APK extractor to extract app (no root needed)
Either use wifi transfer (wireless and more convenient) or use PC to transfer APK files to FunTab. (Files can be found in the "APKextractor" folder from registered android device and move them to to the desired folder in the FunTab ) detach from computer.
Install APK on fun tab using stock file browser
Thank me and enjoy.
Amazon App Store
Try installing the amazon app store.
Ematic Funtab 7" tablet
My sister bought this tablet for my 2 year old son for christmas he loves it but it would be nice if I can install Netflix on his tab so he can watch SuperWhy and YoGABA GABA and all that kiddie stuff he likes.
I'm trying to install the Google Play APK and Netflix APK the apps try to launch but they don't open, and they crash.
I read somewhere that I would have to send the tab to Ematic and they have to remove a "lock" so I can install all this stuff. From my understanding Zoodles causes this "lock" and it tricks the tab into thinking the outsourced apps are outdated and cannot launch.
I imagine that this so-called "lock" is just having to root this device.
Has anyone tried rooting it? He just received it, yesterday, I would hate to send it to Ematic just so they can root it.
Help?:laugh:
Google Play Store
I have a Yuntab S4 running 4.2.1 Android which has BIG problem downloading Google Play & any other aps from this store...Do you have a URL for the mentioned "older market.apk" file? Thanks!
Hi all,
I had a few apps on the Play Store some months ago, which got removed after Google decided to ban me from the Play Store for who knows what reason. Apparently the cause was the "sexy" nature of the apps, which still doesn't explain why my app got kicked out and so many apps that are much worse than mine still live there.
Well, anyway, I've decided to put them all back online on a website for users to download, so if you're interested in them feel free to download them and give me some feedback! All the apps have a brief descriptions and screenshots:
drfeelgoodsw . appspot . com (sorry, being a newbie no link allowed...)
They're all apps to quickly access galleries of well known sexy and gossip websites (Front Magazine, The Sun Page 3, Egotastic and so on), and they all allow you to mark those galleries as favourites, save them on your SD card, etc. Nothing fancy but I hope you'll enjoy them nevertheless! If you have any suggestion on how to improve them, or just know some other website you'd like a similar app to be made for, I'd love to hear it from you
They must have been deleted again because nothing comes up in a search for them

Sorry, I should have been clearer... by "back online" I actually meant they were available again on the web page I created for the purpose, not on the Play Store. I tried publishing them on Android PIT after they were removed from the Play Store, but that only lasted a few weeks, as apparently Android PIT only hosts apps that are also on the Play Store (quite silly of them, considering they're supposed to be an alternative market, but anyway...). I'm looking for other markets to publish the apps on, but until then the apps are available for download on the page I linked in my previous post. Those apps automatically look for updates using a JSON string on the same page, so updates should be easy to keep track of even without a Market in place.
No feedback? Either the apps are perfect the way they are, or they really suck!!

Also, I suspect that people are getting a bit wary of sideloading apks when they could be malware. That's unfortunately a level of trust you lost when you were banned from the play store.

Oh, I hadn't thought about that...
Well, if that can help, I can post a screenshot of the mail from Google describing their exact reason why I got banned, which had nothing to do with malicious behaviour in my app. That said, anyone can just monitor the traffic my app generates, and see that, apart from an update check at the beginning (a GET to retrieve a JSON file), the only connections are towards the website each app is wrapping. I would be quite dumb to post malicious apps on an expert den of Androiders like XDA Developers anyway ehehe
Anyway, if that can help I ca post the complete source code of one of the apps to let people check that everything's fine. The core of the apps is mostly the same (activities, sqlite database, image cache, httpclient+jsoup), apart from differences related to their structure (e.g., Page3 has much more activities and choices than GQ), so that should help understand I'm not hijacking anything. Of course, you could object there is no guarantee the code I'm posting is exactly the one used to generate the APKs, as we'd be back to the trust issue at the beginning...
Well, if there's any way I convince those in doubt that I'm in good faith just let me know. About the Play Store, unfortunately there's no way I can get back there. In the mail I received, I was told I was banned and that I could not open a new account to publish the apps again, so that's out of the question. Android PIT only accepts apps that already are on the store, so no go either. I tried other markets like Androlib and SlideMe, but both failed to send me the confirmation mails I needed to confirm the account, so I'm wondering if they're even a viable solution for developers right now. I've already discarded the Amazon App Store option, as there's an annual fee the likes of which only Apple could conceive. Anyone knows more alternatives to publish apps?
(this is a duplicate of my other thread. I realized the question doesn't ONLY apply to my old Nexus 4)
I'm trying to build an android phone with no Google apps on it, for privacy purposes.
I've got LineageOS on my rooted phone with no issues.
Getting apps is another matter. Amazon's app store doesn't even have Amazon's app, the LG store won't run on my phone. The various .apk-download sites I've seen either don't do paid apps, have outdated versions, or are basically for "cracked" apps, which i don't want to use.
Downloading .apk files can work, but most apps do not have such thing available, and I find often my phone's browsers choke on the link, and I have to download to my pc and then use adb to push the file across.
Is there a decent app store (or other app source) that isn't Google?
You could try Fdroid This is the website for Apk
Fdroid is all open source Apk's

What's wrong with Google? Whatever I have a few:
GetJar (Has not be well maintained, spam, malware etc. Lurking on there now)
SlideME (Abondon, apps are so old)
Aptoid (Has some stolen apk, malware)
TutuApp (dumb kids use it to get modded games and apps, don't go there)
The Internet (APKMirror is the best)
Google Play

1: I've decided, if possible, to act on the privacy concerns I've had about google for quite some time now
2: I'm a gun nut law abiding firearms enthusiast and don't appreciate their recent policy changes on Youtube. Since my information is the product they sell to make money, I wish to withhold it.
it might be a pipe dream, but a guy can try.
Thanks for the places to try, all.
In addition to Google Play and Amazon Appstore, I suggest Huawei App Store. http://appstore.huawei.com/
Just for your reference.
You could use the Yalp store app which is an app that will get and down load your apk from play store anonymously
You can download it here

That may be an ideal solution... use Google's store, but don't have Google's app on my phone...
Yeah ideal for people who have restriction's of some type.
You probably noticed that yalp store (well at least the yalp bit) is play store backward's "very fitting"
Hi Has anyone been successful in finding a way to spoof devices on the Amazon app store? I had a ton of apps that up until a few weeks ago were Compatible with my current device (ASUS ROG PHONE 3) and now it seems apps one by one that were compatible are being changed to incompatible and can't be re/downloaded due to this.. so my two options if they exist is to spoof the device or download the apk off Amazon app store server somehow. Any one know anything about of the possibility of any of this?

[Extension] APK Downloader for Amazon Appstore
Hi there, I'm redphx, author of the original APK Downloader for Google Play. Last year I asked if you guys want a similiar extension but for Amazon Appstore, and seemed like some of you may use it, so I decided to take some time to make it...
