I can only use mobile data on opera mini, that's why I asked for direct links and that's why I don't use the play store, thanks anyway.
btw, have you tested the app on lastkiss or genetics?

Play Store Issue

Hello guys, after a bit of tuning and cleaning my Play store App doesn't work anymore. At first i deleted the Google Play Services and in my opinion that was the reason but now i reinstalled it and the Play store too but everytime i click on "Install" on any app it crashes. After that i have to wipe the cache and the data of the Store/Service to be able to open it again. I can navigate fine but i cannot download/install anything, any clue?
EDIT: TLDR

Anyone? I'm about to cry IRL after all the efforts i did to optimize it.: crying:

No, cyanogenmod does not have google apps. For more info: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Even if they don't use google apps, they have their own spyware. For more how to secure your device see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security/tuto-how-to-secure-phone-t2960077

Then, I suggest you to be patient. There will be some news soon.

try AFWall Donate version, XPrivacy, AppOps, MyAndroidTools Pro, ChatSecure, Orbot, Network Connections or Network Log App in playstore, override DNS app, SD Maid, Firefox browser...these are all good apps known for supporting end-user privacy or for strong root level management of your system. It really depends on what type of "secure" youre interested in. Android is relatively secure security-wise, but privacy-wise, not so much... actually in its default state, not at all, especially with google inside. Knowing your settings, and config, almost any ROM can be secure.

If you are willing to switch to a Nexus 5 we (Graphite Software) have posted a ROM (Secure Spaces) that allows you to create a separate space (virtual phone) where you can easily configure the settings (enable and disable a number of attributes - bluetooth , networking, adb, etc). Also you can remove the Google Play apps in this personal or hidden space, but allow the owner space to still have Google Apps if you want. This new space is encrypted using ecryptfs and also has pid namespaces enabled in the kernel, plus some additional security features. You can push apps into this space to limit their access to the owner space , or you can think of this space as a private space where maybe you launch only a banking app for example.

Sounds like a good start to helping secure my android, but how do you use the apps effectively?
Thanks

All I can say is do what I did. Check them out. Read, follow instructions, experiment. Android may come shipped with some functionalities disabled but the capability is there...in a major way. You just have to take the time to learn. Familiarize yourself with settings, apps, services, device signals.

[APP][5.0+][ROOT] Play Music Exporter

Hey everybody,
some of you might have known this app, but that hasn't been updated in a while. I therefore decided to fork the "new" beta a few months back, and I got that working again and extended it a bit.
What is it?
Basically, it's an app that takes the cached and downloaded songs of Google Play Music, adds ID3 tags to them from the database of GPM, searches for covers online, and saves all that together in an MP3 wherever you want.
Bug reports and Feature Requests:
If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, or in the matrix discussion room. If you find any bugs, or have feature requests, please check the issue tracker on github, if you can't find it, report it there, post in this thread, or write a message in the discussion room linked above.
Download:
You can download the app either on F-Droid, or XDA-Labs. Please note though, that the release to F-Droid is a bit faster, since it is automatic, and I only add a release on XDA-Labs, after it has been successfully published to F-Droid.

Hey jcgruenhage! Many thanks for the app, that helps you to get all your cached music from Google Play Music All Access. And also, many thanks for the tipp, that it is possible to get the unprotected mp3 directly on PC from GMPAA with help of Remix OS Player.
You are great!

Thanks for this app. I am wondering, does this require root?

Yes, as it says in the description

Thank you so much for your rework of the initial app !
This is now working again (Galaxy S6 under LL) and actually perfect !

I love the concept of this app, however I'm having issues. No matter where I set the export location (internal or external) or where Google has the music saved (again, internal or external), the app gets through a few hundred songs then seems to freeze on one randomly. The app doesn't crash or give me an error, it just seems to stop working. This is regardless of whether the device is awake, asleep, running other apps, running nothing, etc. It seems to move progressively slower in exporting each song until it just decides to stop.
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge running stock rooted Marshmallow.
Edit: saw your request for issues to be posted on Git. Sorry.

Well, I guess if I post this here, I should be able to check every now and then, just changed the description above, post issues wherever you want, I'll collect them on github ^^
On to your issue however: There have been a few people reporting this on the original app, and so far, I have not found the cause. However, using the automatic export, I have seen a few hundred songs getting exported without any delay, so maybe unifying the export calls of these two operations might help.

Doesn't work with MagiskSU.

Not asking for root magisksu

Working perfectly on my rooted Nexus 9!

Can you please add download support for this app?

Thank you.

I sometimes buy albums from Google to use on me iPod (iTunes is ehh) and having to manually add meta-data to each song is tedious. This app solves that perfectly.
Thank you very much for this, works well on phh's superuser

I am not root, how come i need to be root to have "play music exporter",thanks cloclo10000

I have a question.. whats the difference between this app and Music Mate?
Music Mate doesn't require root and I've been using it for years to download music added to my library from All Access and then move it to my computer, DRM free.

This app reads the metadata and songs out of the private memory of Play Music, which is only accessible with root.

Music Mate is different in a two key points:
Closed Source and "needs" a lot of permissions, in addition to costing money.
Interacts with the Google Servers instead of the local storage.
The first one is a big problem for privacy reasons, you're giving yet another company data about you, that they can use for whatever they want. The second is even worse, since that means that Google can find out about you ripping music/violating their terms of service, without even looking on your phone. This is true for any app using unofficial Play Music APIs.
If you are going to use something like that, I'd recommend GMusicProxyGui. That is free, open source, and probably even uses the same backend (gmusicproxy) for downloading the songs.

No, I can't. I don't know how the app stores it's data, and I don't have the time to investigate on that.

Ah true true. I didn't even think about that. I used to use a program for Windows (Song Spout) that did basically the same thing and cost $10 a year (originally). It probably used the same method as Music Mate.
I've been using Music Mate because I've been running my phone unrooted for a while due to that damned Safety Net. Thankfully, my tablet is in the "couldn't care less about Safety Net" group so this will work on it.
Thanks for updating this app. :good:

About SafetyNet, that passes fine on my phone (OP3) with Lineage OS and MagiskSU, you might want to check that out ^^
