Best choice
This what I found and use also (all of them):
F-Droid = only open-source apks
Aptioide = only free apks,
1Mobile Market = free and also paid apks
so I have no need to have google account at all :victory:

lol... You are mentioning the rules before verifying the info. He said paid apps, not paid apps for free. In 1mobile, you will have to pay for paid apps
apitode and black market is best
Aptoide is very good.
Alternatives for Sony Apps that aren't preinstalled anymore & replaced by Google Apps
I bought my Xperia 10 II from ebay, that was imported from Hong Kong, as I checked the firmware customization and it is from there. A month almost with it, and I really love it.
For me was not easy to used to it, as i was using a smaller XA2 before, but with the one handed mode and side sense, is easy to use with one hand.
I really miss Sony apps that are not installed anymore as Album, Photo Editor, Xperia keyboard, Sony Email, Sony Phone App, Sony Message App, Sony Contacts App, Sony Calendar App, Sony Calculator App, Sony Clock App, and Sony Weather app, Track ID, Audio Recorder. All are replaced by Google Apps with tons of weird permissions and tracking.
But I found alternatives to it and I disabled almost all Google Apps:
- Album and Photo Editor there is Simple Gallery Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery
- Xperia keyboard, well.. there is no replacement, so I installed latest version available from XDA, and still working good https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...p-4-4-xperia-keyboard-material-01-07-t2801048
- Sony Email, I installed from APKMirror, still works good, but not so good with dark mode https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-...ony-email-2/sony-email-2-16-0-a-0-12-release/
- Sony Phone app I couln't replace Google Phone, that was so fustrating, so well... still there... But, there is an alternative anyway that is ok https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.dialer
- Sony Message App there is Simple Message App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.smsmessenger
- Sony Contacts App, there is Simple Contacts Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.contacts
- Sony Calendar there is Simple Calendar App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.calendar
- Sony Calculator App, there is Simple Calculator App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.calculator
- Sony Clock App, there is Simple Clock App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.clock
- Sony Weather App, good news! There is still installable from Play Store, so I installed and still using it . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.xperiaweather
- For Track ID, well... there is no option than Shazam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shazam.android
- Audio Recorder, I didn't looked for alternatives.

I read somewhere that the reason why Xperia Keyboard has discontinued, was because of the acquisition of Switchkey by Microsoft. Before the acquisition, switchkey launched a SDK for OEM for customize as they want, and then Microsoft retired the licensing for using the SDK and then SDK was removed. Blame Microsoft for the dead of Xperia Keyboard
if anyone is looking for the Sony Album app, there is a port in this thread.

The target for the 1.7.33 version of the Sony Contacts app is Android 11, but keeps crashing as soon as I open it. Why is ti happening? What can I do?
Samsung has released a free LiveTV app a few days ago. Here is the link to download it:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...msung-tv-plus-1-0-00-11-android-apk-download/
This app is currently supported in some countries but this can probably be bypassed with a VPN.
