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...

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

Sharing .apk files of free apps

I've been wondering, is it illegal to share .apk files of free games and applications? I'm pretty sure sharing apps and games that you need to pay for at the Android Market is a crime but what about the free ones?
Let's say I upload the apk on a file host, post it and under it post link to the market page or credit the developer.
EDIT: Sorry I forgot to tick the question option.
No, and you'll find a lot of chefs cooking launchers, file explorers etc. into their ROMs

So that means it's ok to distribute free apps on blogs and websites?
I think so, yeah

It seems weird why anyone would want apks for free apps that you could get from the market but... I don't think its illegal
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
Well let's say some people aren't on a data plan and are nowhere near a WiFi spot. The only solution would be to atleast download a few games and applications through the computer and transfer them. Talking about free apps ofcourse.
I think so, yeah
Sorry for my google-english ))
It is necessary to install the application of site сars.com,
but googleplay does not do it (not available for Russia).
Most of the request - Put please apk file.
Thanks in advance.
I've found that theres apps that I needed and sometimes couldn't be found in app market anymore so I need to go search for apk files.
APK Sharing Platform
Hi all,
Taking the risk of being called a troll for reviving a old thread I wanted to introduce you to an app sharing platform called Swably.
Swably is the Android app and APK sharing community. Swably gives users options when it comes to quickly and easily sharing mobile apps within a peer to peer android app sharing community.
So please, take a look. We would love to have some feedback!
Cheers,
Taylor Amarel

adfree/adaway/ad blockers in general are missing from play store

Where the hell is adaway?
Suddenly Google decided adaway was violating section 4.4 of the developer agreement.. Suuuure. I'm sure there wasn't any pressure from the ads being blocked. I'm sure it was a breech of terms.
You can follow this link to get the blocker. (ironically it's at code. Google.com)
http://code.google.com/p/ad-away/
Lil at the strike
But I just re downloaded a free because of flashing a new ROM. Weird. I really like adfree because it works for apps and browsers. For those who want, guess we could upload the apk

Why can't it be both? Google decided they didn't care about that part of their terms until someone complained. The nice thing about Android is you can install apps from places that AREN'T the Play Store, unlike other platforms, so who cares what they do and don't allow in their store?
The dev has moved AdAway to FDroid:
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway

I love the "other platforms" part. But you are right. I can understand from a dev point of view putting out a free app. But get like SSH droid and revert it. I don't mind reverting it because I can always turn it back on. With great power comes more power.

now adaway & adblock plus is scam
Hi just try to search in play store for adaway & adblock plus and install it via play store and looks like scam to me as instead of blocking ads its bombarding ads and forcing user to rate it 5 star then only user can use it at first start. I guess all the app by this devloper doing the same thing. I don't know how this end up in play store but I think you should update this forume as I adaway is doing different & suspicious things.
That app is not from the developer of Adaway, it's a fake app.

still using adaway
agree, adaway and other ad block apps are no longer available on play store, but still you can download them from any sharing site like 4share etc.
i'm using ViperX4.0.2 on my HTC One X and adaway is preinstalled on ROM and doing great job.
Just download from official repository on f-droid, not file sharing sites. AdAway

[APP][FREE] Android MOD Market

I have been working on this app for a long time. I think it is finally at a stage where I can say it is stable and ready for the masses to take hold. It has been listed on google play now for over a year as a paid and free app.
When I worked on ROM's it was tedious updating so many threads after completing a new update. So I developed Android MOD Market
Android MOD Market is an app that scavenges through CyonaogenMOD, MIUI-US and XDA searching for APPs, MODS and ROMS; reads the posts, picks out information and makes it available in an easily searchable and categorized app.
I guess you could call it a ROM, MOD and APP search engine with some added features. You can set presets for your favorite listings and have it notify you when the listing is updated.
Unlike ROM Manger, GOO-IM or many other popular apps and update notifiers, AMM does not require the developer to do anything additional but post it to a forum thread. New listings are usually picked up by AMM with in a few hours and any update is available immediately to a user.
You can view the AMM website (in my sig) and view the listings there, get the free app from Google Play (ad supported) or if ads aren't your thing feel free to purchase an ad free version also Available on Google Play.
Check it out here...
Website = www.androidmodmarket.com
Free Ad Supported Version = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thunderstick.androidmodmarketfree
Paid Ad Free Version = https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thunderstick.androidmodmarketpro
Why would you do this to me?

That's strange, not sure why your device is not compatible. Let me check the listing. APK attached to OP...
Resuscitating this thread...
APP has made some major milestones lately. IF you tried it in the past and disregarded it, feel free to give it another try. It is definitely much different now.
APK in OP updated to reflect the latest free version available from the playstore.

[VIRUS]Unsafe App Stores

List any app provider you've found to be malicious. Include app store and individual app(s) versions. Also how they are infective or defective. This is only meant to spread awareness, not to bash certain application developers. Thanks for your help
Edit: i.e.- when searching aptoide for app in a particular store, and scroll down to comments to double check authenticity, the comments are combined for every version of the app in that store, and the app can be added to another store- that's why I'm interested in version #
Please no general comments

Black market has the most viruses IMO... Safest app provider is aptoide, hands down
I always use coolmarket, its chinese but virus free

App Stores
Best to stick to Google Play, but some people (like me) are not allowed to spend (as i'm only 14). i have to use apk's for some apps that i cant live without like nova launcher and pocket casts.
I'd say the Swiftkey data logging thing is probably the riskiest. Best to stick to Google Keyboard or Sense keyboard
