[APP][TIP] Run 2 skype IDs on one Android Device

Currently, we already have a thread for xpose module to help users to run mutiple Skype ID on their android here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-skypex-version-spoofing-skype-app-t2860388
I also followed that thread from October. However recently I just found out a small tip for who wants to run 2 skype id on same android device without xpose module.
HOW TO:
1. Download and Install version from google play normally: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skype.raider&hl=en.
(If you cannot access google play or you don't have google play on your phone, just go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392504 to request apk file or use evozi's website to download it)
2. Download and install version from skype China's website. Because Google service is not availabe in China so Skype must publish a version for this market on their website.
Link for Skype China Website's download page: http://skype.gmw.cn/down/skype-for-mobiles.html
EXPLAIN
I checked the package name, one from GPlay is "com.skype.rider" and one from Skype China's website is "com.skype.rover". That's the same method with the xposed module I mentioned (2 apps with 2 different package name) but it can be considered as official way from Skype and of course it's more stable in my opinion
Hope this can be useful for users as me for using 2 skype ids at the same time. Of course if you want to run more than 2 id, using xpose module still works well. But for 2 ids, this is much easier.

Thanks for explaining where rover was from. I was very surprised to see it today, signed by the official key.
If anyone wants it, I also stuck it here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/skype/skype-rover/.

Can I replace Google Playstore with another version?

Hi. I have read that there is a lot of stuff that can be done with a rooted phone.
I rooted my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T), Baseband version G930TUVS9CSC1, Android version 8.0 (Oreo) with one of the guides I found here.
If I uninstall updates of the Playstore it goes down to version 10. I would like to have version 8 or lower. Is that even possible? Can I uninstall the current Playstore and install the one from Nougat for example? Do I have to replace the Google Play Services app too? Would it still work?
If it can be done, could someone please guide me on how to do it?
Thank you

You can flash any playstore app doesn't matter if you're rooted or not. It will replace the existing play store. No need to flash something else. You can find various versions of play store e.g. here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...2-android-apk-download/download/?forcebaseapk

How do to install Regular Google on Android Go

So for some reason Google wont install on my Xiaomi Redmi A1 because of Google Go i think? Thing is Google Go is good but the Assistant Go app doesn't really have that much customization. I have the non-go version of assistant installed and i want to use it but it requires the regular version of google to work.
Anybody know a workaround that doesn't require root or such?
Device Info:
Xiaomi Redmi A1 (220733SG)
Android 12 Go Edition
Sorry if my english is bad and this is a noob question

Indeed, you can install the “full version" of most of Google's proprietary apps on a device running an Android Go Edition build. But, as you've probably found out yourself, you won't be able to download these apps from Google Play. You'll need to download the apps app package (APK) from a trusted Android app repo. Be sure to download the correct architecture (ARM, ARM64, etc.) as well as the correct DPI matrix.(apps listed as nodpi are universal and will work on any DPI config). Once downloaded you should be able to install the APK and run the standard build of Google app on your Go Edition device. You will have both the standard app and the Go Edition version of app installed, and you can choose to use either one. APK Mirror is a trustworthy repo for Google's proprietary app packagers.

Thanks for your answer! I'll try to find an APK of google that supports my device. I appreciate your help.

Question Google Play app version

On my new Fold2, the Gogle Play Version is at 26.4.21-[0] [PR] 387147473. If I tap the version info, it says that this version is the actual one, so there is no update.
On the other hand, on my old Huawei Mate 10 Pro, the Google Play version is indicated as 34.7.10-21 [O] [PR] 512129822.
Any hints whether I should update the Fold2 Google Play, and if yes: how?
Thanks in advance!
