List of cool apps NOT found in Market & cool unknown Market Apps!!

Step 1: Go to Settings, Applications, and check download apps from unknown sources. This will enable you to download third party apps not found in Market. You can download all these apps from the Internet Browser directly on your phone.
I'd recommend getting a Dropbox account and downloading Dropbox & Astro File Manager/ES File Explorer (any other file manager should suffice) on your phones.
Here's my referral for Dropbox (You and I get extra space!):
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTkwNzUxMDk
When you download the apk's use dropbox to store the apk files in the cloud. You will use the file manager of your choice to direct Dropbox where the file is located. This helps with having to re-install apps and avoiding having to search for them again. Dropbox is handy for a grip of other uses such as storing your class papers, pictures, presentations, documents, resume, etc.

App Inventor Developers

Upon finding out that I can't upload my programs made in app inventor to the market (currently google restricts this), I decided to help some other AI developers out and allow them to post their apps for download on my website: www.xxthe3dmanxx.com
Curently I am only accepting apps that fall under these requirements.
1) The app must be useful to the android community (no fart or porn type apps)
2) The app must be free (currently I have no way to accept paid apps)
3) OpenSource is recommended but not required.
4) The app must have been made by you.
5) Only app inventor made apps will be accepted.
If you are interested send me a pm with a description of your app and your name for (application credit), if your app is a beta please list known issues with it. If I approve your app I will send you info on where you can send your app. Also if you would like, once your app gets approved you can also send me an icon for your app and I will replace the stock app inventor icon for you (currently there is no way to do this inside app inventor).
Please allow 2 days for a response from me.

hey =D
I can't even get into the appinventor D=
Does some1 know how to get in there?

App inventor is currently available by invite from google only. Go HERE and fill out the form then wait for your invite. Hope that helps.

Just buy the app, if you can afford to pay your monthly phone bill then I'm sure that you can drop a few dollars for the apps you want.

other?

So while we are on this subject, how are not allowed to post cracked apps? While I am against it the reasoning doesn't work. We will take the skype app, which is licensed, modify it and place it on xda. That is no different than taking someone else's app and making it suit our needs without permission.

That's a good point. Although there was a crackdown on those modded Dropbox apks...
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

I don't see a request for an alternative site as a request for hacked/stolen etc apps..
Unlocking features omitted for marketing purposes that are free elsewhere on the same app is a little bit of a grey area
Also the need for a major alternative freeware shareware app site is definite..

I'm also looking for a LEGIT alternative to the Google Play Store because I sometimes have DPI issues with the market and it gives compatibility errors. I want to clarify this, I just want another place to download .apks that are free on the market that isn't a shady DDL I found on google.

Guys, don't judge, it's possible the OP lives elsewhere where the entire play store is not available and he wants an app. That is a perfectly fine reason for piracy in my book.

There is nothing wrong with requesting free apps apk files, (though I highly recommend doing it in there Q&A section, not android apps & games) just look at this here. On there other hand, paid app apks, cracks to free apps to make then act like paid apps, or cracking apps to defrauded a company (i.e. The dropbox hack) all are considered Warez.
Also, app markets that do not link to Google Play (i.e. App Brainz links to Google play for downloads) are considered Warez markets & won't be tolerated.

Also: For anybody having DPI issues, have you tried this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5iaXJkYXBpLmFuZHJvaWQuZHBpcHJvIl0. (To install it set dpi to normal for your device, delete market data/cache, reboot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache & then download from market, it'll let you change dpi without issues (so it says, I haven't tested it))

There's a new dropbox hack out there for 50gb for two years using sgs3 files. But I understand what you all are saying

Thanks for the info

how does it work for paid apps? legal?

think of it as App blog Android client, the content is not provided by me but the blog author
I'm just making it simple to download and browse for app in your smartphones easier

Answer the question. Linking to illegal downloads is no better than hosting them yourself. If your app provides access to illegal downloads, you'll be reported. The app crashes on my phone, so I cannot confirm it for myself. Answer vaguely again, and you'll be reported anyway

It does work and is illegal I would remove it if I were you....

How to share apps on android

Hi guys,
Today morning, I was on the bus with a friend. He wanted to check whether his phone's magnetometer works. So he asked me if I had the 'compass' app. I did have it, but I didn't know how to send it to him. I knew that it was possible, but I didn't have the app that allows you to share files. But luckily he had the app. So he sent the sharing app to me using the sharing app itself so that I could share the app that he wanted. Too many “sharing” words in the last sentence, forgive me.
So I was now able to send the 'compass' app to him easily in seconds.
The 'sharing app' that we used is called “ShareCloud (share apps)”. Certainly not the most creative name but trust me it is very useful. This app lets us send apps via Bluetooth, face to face(p2p, by creating a wi-fi hotspot), WhatsApp, facebook, email and numerous other ways. I will talk about some of them further in the post. Basically all it does is, it copies the installation file and sends it through the specified way. So once the app is received on the other device, it needs to be installed. The file will only get installed is the device supports the app to function. Using this app is a child's play. It has a very easy-to-use interface. You literally have to just select the app and send it. It is as simple as that. This app is available for free to download on the google play store. This app doesn't take up much space and it works almost magically. The best part is, you don't have to root your phone to use this app.
