I am using non compatible application in my P-901, like BBM, Microsoft office, Google Launcher, Samsung Milk, Lab values ..etc
I have downloaded them using google , installed them and they are running smoothly. I know they are not compatible with the device and they are not in the play store. My device is not rooted.
Are they harmful to the software/hardware because they are not compatible?
I just want to check that and if they are harmful I will un-install them immediately.
Thanks...

No, that just means they may not run smoothly. You could have issues with the way they display, they might force close, or they may run fine. You never know.
If they are jot compatible how did you download them from Google? Usually they will not download 1f they are not compatible.

Nah, it won't hurt anything. On Android it's called sideloading and people do it on pretty much every device.
There may be some rare exceptions, but basically if it installs and runs from an apk, then you're good to go. It won't damage anything.
A lot of things are labeled "incompatible" on purpose for reasons other than being technically unable to run on the device. (Like for example Google and Samsung want to keep their launcher and Milk music only running on certain devices thar they benefit from so everything else is flagged as incompatible. Also it may be that devs haven't optimized for certain devices and so don't want it running on them and then get low ratings for devices they don't support.

Almost all applications either paid/free or compatible/incompatible are available outside google play, just google it and download it.
Which version of ms office are you using and where did you find the apk, link please, I'm just interested in word,

U can make a google search and you will find a lot of downloadable links...
The only ones that are truly incompatable are apps that require specific hardware features that aren't physically present in an incompatible device.
The best place I've found to get apps outside of Google play is Aptoide. Yes, there are plenty of crappy porn apps and repos full of pirated ones , but the default store, and many others have any legitimate free app you could want, in any past or present version you could want. It has adult content filtering turned on by default as well. The Aptoide app also has a play store-like update tab and auto-update feature, too. A recent update made huge improvements to the UI, which closely mimics the style of Google play. Just make sure to skim over feedback to check for issues, and avoid app versions that are higher than they should be.
They're all incompatible for one very simple reason: The developers haven't enabled the QHD resolution in Google play. It's really that simple and that stupid.
I had this same rubbish for almost a year with the TF700T, it was the only and first device with 1920x1200 at that time, and nearly évery app was incompatible.
Sideloading them always worked perfectly well, no issues.

You are right..
For example BBM is working fine in Note Pro and Note 2014 but in a bad resolution.

Oh man, that was just the tip of the iceberg with the TF700T. Mine still fights like a champ, but with the hardware specs it had for the time of its release, it should have gotten much more attention. Development was slow and scarce, and the stock firmware was riddled with issues and bugs. I typically go for whatever device has the best, newest hardware, and it stays seems like the second and third place devices get all the attention and accommodation. Going through it with the galaxy note pro 12.2 as we speak. I'm working on building a working cm 11 ROM for it in my spare time. All its had for weeks is twrp recovery. I just wish I had more time.

Now that Google has released the Android TV launcher onto the play store i'm curious to try and install this APK on my LG Google TV and see how it runs. Anyone know where I can find the APK?? Thanks.

Maybe soon on apkmirror.com!
yeah i would like to get this on my Minix Neo X7 TV box
Cant wait for this to get ported to other devices. Beelink R89 please!
Bump...
Can someone who is rooted download the APK and upload please??

This wasn't uploaded by me, but somebody posted the APK
Doesn't seem to work on my CM11 phone, haven't had the chance to try it on my Amlogic MXIII TV box yet.

It will not work with otner devices exept nexus box and i also think that it is too pity that it works only with some devices, i think they are mistaken with this decision.
I use Handy Smart TV Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.handysmart.android.launcher&hl=en)with its’ remote control app for my tv box and i ‘m sure that it will be the main rival for this new launcher from Google. Morover it works with a lot of mobile devices and tv-boxes and have intuitive remote control app.

What console exactly? Can you list your specs, We don't test any sonsoles yet as our apps optimized for tv-boxes. We cannot guarantee that apps will work appropriate on all devices.
Kinda surprised that nobody has been successful in hacking this to work on regular old android builds. Considering the Google play launcher from lollipop was ported to older versions of android before the play store version was updated I'd think it would be technically possible at least... Too bad I don't have the knowledge to do it myself.

Is it possible to make it work on Xiaomi Mi Box Pro?
hmm
I have it / installed running (laidbacklauncher) whatever that drop box apk was.. it installs.. and runs.. but if you click the voice seach, it crashes, and it looks like its constantly loading (recommendations) but it deffinately loaded.
(Note 2 I317m - model phone)
But i changed a setting in the system via build.prop editor changing the brand of my device to nexus where it before was T0lte (custom firmware for note 2)
i never attempted to install it prior so i dont know if it will load or not. going to see if the play store detects my phone as a nexus and allows the apk download.. (fingers crossed)

The official reason the Nexus 5X doesn't support Daydream is because of it's thermal limits. If it works unofficially just make sure it won't overheat in the headset.
just tried it. installed all the apk from apkmirror.com but got a message that my device is not compatible.
Does someone have any idea how to use the Daydream controller in Youtube Cardboard mode?
I'll do my best to help where I can. I have a daydream on order, should arrive in a few days. So far I have downloaded the app from apkmirror. Once I opened the app, it said I needed newest Google VR Services. So I also downloaded the latest version from apk-mirror. That allowed me to go ahead with the setup of the daydream app. When I go to press the button to go into VR mode, it FCs daydream. Too early totell what this may mean, I need to get my daydream VR headset and get it paired up and I can play some more. I'm noticing that even the Daydream compatible games on the play store I cannot install to my phone because the play store reports them as incompatible with the 5x.
I'm using Pixelrom v3.21, which is Nougat 7.1.1 DP1 based.
Got my headset yesterday after seeing the video but it doesn't really proof anything. After installing the apk, the app crashes when trying to enter the VR mode. It's not recognizing the headset via NFC and the controller doesn't work.
But I was able to install 3rd party VR apps and use them with the headset. After using it for an hour it got pretty hot, so you might want to give it a break after a while.
So in the end you have a comfortable cardboard without the controller and daydream app.
Tried it with stock 7.0.0 and developer beta 7.1.1.

I have tried reinstalling now, still no change in behavior.
So I finally got my Daydream viewer and remote from Google. The controller pairs with no issues. The headset has a built in NFC chip, so when you put your phone I to the headset, it must auto launch some program. However, when I put In The 5x, it just displays a message saying this phone is incompatible with the 5x. So I can't even use the nice headset with Google cardboard, unless I disable the NFC.
The daydream app instantly crashes when I hit the viewer icon so that doesn't work either. So ATM I cant do anything at all with the daydream viewer. I'm sure in time someone can reengineered the daydream app to work with other phones, or trick the app into thinking it is a Pixel, but ATM it's useless.
Oh well.
Im also getting the needs updates google vr services, last installed the versions uploaded to apkmirror november 21st (yesterday) although version number indicates it's November 19th build.
Tried uninstalling, deleting cache, restarting to no avail.... any help?!
have you tried modifiny your build.Prop to make it look like a pixel
and download some game (wonderland) from the playstore ?
does the controller also work ?

There are a lot of apps for this. What I want is to mirror the phone screen on tv using MirrorShare option from taskbar.
I already have Google Cast Receiver app up to date, but no success. I think is something wrong with my Wi-Fi router. I have an Asus AC68U. Do I have to make any specials settings in router for screen mirroring ?

Make sure UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled/allowed.
Regarding the TV do note that my unit was showing zero system updates available. It was only when I manually searched for 'Google Cast Receiver' that I found an updated version ready for download.

Everything you just said is why it wont work
Recently there was a change in Samsung Health that ruined the bypasses (spoofing a different device, which worked for eons) i and others used to get it working previously
Currently there is no fix
The patched Samsung Health (not to be confused with the Samsung Health Monitor MOD that @Dante63 gifted us) that you may find on the Internet will sync to phone but has never synced to Samsung cloud/backup, all data will remain local
There are attempts being made to find a new workaround (its sad that Samsung seems to think they can dictate how you use your devices. Its part of the reason i loathe them) but its extremely slow going on my attempts (down to me and lack of time) and theres no ETA
I currently use Google Fit, which is at least some sort of plan b....yes i like the Samsung Health app, but when they restrict its usage, well that hurts not only us, but them, as i wont recommend Samsung Watches to anyone i know while this nonsense continues....my next watch will perhaps be a Pixel, and if Google make a decent Pixel phone again, ill be back to that too (last good one was the 2XL)
If the data of the watch cannot be synchronized with the mobile phone, you can try to install Samsung Health of version 6.21.2.007. It has been found that many people have this problem

I was previously using the app patched by adil192 (https://github.com/adil192/SamsungAppsPatcher) which synced with my samsung account but I found out that it doesn't sync with the wearable app. So my solution was to downgrade to samsung health 6.19.5 which fixed my issues.

No problem whatsoever here. Samsung Health version 6.22.2.007.
My guess is that Google Play-services and Google Play Systemupdate of the phone play an important role in comms between apps and services. I actively keep Google Play-services and Google Play Store up to date, making use of available APKs in APK Mirror if necessary.
My current versions on S21U:
Google Play-Services 22.33.14

Samsung doesn't care what version of Google Play Services/Store you run, theyre testing for Knox or root, also youre using a beta of Google Play Services, which i would never do...especially after ive seen the downsides over many years
