Windows 10 Mobile 10166 build lets you install WP8 apps removed from store - Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games

There is a (short?) chance for those, who has their favorite apps pulled from Store. In Windows 10 Mobile build 10166 you can install your previously installed (associated with your account) apps and games you have installed (and maybe paid) but has no access to them since phone change or hard reset. Once you have the app or game installed, you may create a package that can be sideloaded on other devices.
Just go to the Store app and use hamburger button, press My library (can`t be sure about English naming, I have Russian one), wait for the list appear and then press install button on the app you need to recover.
People report they can successfully recover Galactic Reign app (which is useless because of game servers were stopped in the end of 2013).
Metrotalk, Flash Videos, and other apps can be exhumed. Hurry and use that chance

How about that crappy sega cd looking FNaF port? My cousin wont shut up.

there is a way to make this in the current build?

List of *Non-working* Sideloaded Apps

Let this be the list of software that needs some loving...
General Issues -- We need the statusbar to stay on screen at all times so that we have access to the menu and back buttons, or make the nook button a toggle for the status bar!!
Not Working:
Skype
Reckless Racing
NFS Shift
New Room
ebuddy
I have some apps that stopped working... (ASTRO, Dolphin HD, YouTube, ADW Launcher) and want to wipe and start over. Is there a way to do a wipe back to factory? Will it erase sideloaded books etc?
Cheers,
Rich
I have tried the following that haven't worked:
Skype (loads but you cant do anything once in the app)
Reckless Racing (Loads to title screen and crashes)
NFS Shift (One version crashes at title scene, other loads but with no textures)
NewRoom (Loads, but the button to add new sites doesn't work)
I think this thread will be better and much shorter than the "Working Apps" thread because MOST apps seem to work fine.
Anyway.
eBuddy doesn't even install for some reason.
Citrix Receiver connects and shows the hosted applications, but does not allow you to access any of them. Multiple versions were tried, including the latest 2.0.
Kayak
TripIt
OpenTable
XDA App
Lets Golf
UnblockMe Free

Not sure why they wouldn't see your SD card. I installed both of those with no problems.
Slingplayer - older version does not work but the current version from the market works fine. The lack of menu keys makes it a bit of a pain but if plays fine.
Roadsync gets in a loop for registration and wont even launch the program (current version from the market)
Touchdown (current version from Market) runs but will not sync with my exchange server 2003.
I can't get ADWLauncher to run. LauncherPro works fine. Also, ASTRO and K9 won't start. Anyone having problems with these apps? I had them running last night, but started experimenting and somehow they got broken. Is there a log file that I can check?
Cheers,
Rich
Sketch Online won't work for me. Is appears to start but then just closes with no error.
Raging Thunder 2 fail to download game data.
Chromemarks
3d pool
Both of these crash

I think this is hilarious. Nook Software will not run on the nook.
I can't get Grooveshark to run either... It launches, but as soon as you enter login information it crashes and doesn't open anymore.

[APP] Google Play Store (Android Market) v3.5.15, v3.5.16 ORIGINAL + MOD (NEW) 12.4.

Here is the ORIGINAL and MODED version of Google play store for our Android Devices:
Requirements: Android v2.2+
Overview: Play Anywhere, All your entertainment in one place, Google Play is your one-stop shop for all your favorite entertainment.
CHANGELOG:
- You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
- The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
- The list of apps you have purchased but uninstalled or haven't installed yet has moved to the All tab... which means it's now mixed in with the free apps you no longer have on the device. I'm not sure how I feel about that - on one hand, I like that it's gone from the first list, but ideally there should be a way to filter paid apps from free in the All list. Maybe someday...
- A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to such orphans were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.
- Just like in the web Play Store:
# reviews now show the device used by the reviewer
# reviews can now be sorted by Most Helpful first or Newest first
# you can now filter reviews to show ones for the latest version of the app as well as made by only the device you are using
Credits to Deeco7 for changelog
MOD VERSION features:
Unlimited access to apps in Google Play Store
Removed countries restriction in Google Play Store
Fixed the issue which your device is not compatible with this item in Google Play Store
Credits to L.D.B.
INSTALL:
ORIGINAL - Just paste Vending (original).apk or GooglePlay v3.5.16.apk to your phone and install it...
MODED - first make a backup of your previous market first in system/app using Root Explorer (rename Vending.apk to Vending.bak or something) or just delete it, then simply copy attached Vending.apk or GooglePlay v3.5.16-mod.apk it to your system/app folder using Root Explorer (or similar app). After that set permissions how is showed in attached picture down, then restart your phone...and enjoy yourself.
PS: KEEP ***** SLAPING THAT THANKS BUTTON...

Heeelp! When I try to open Play Store it instantly closes! I have XMP old xperia project latest with naa-kernel 11. Shouldn't it normally get the market app when I get to play store? I tested many roms by now but noone had the original market.

[Q] Why are google apps broken?

My sister got a nook tablet a few weeks ago and I helped her get Go Launcher and Google Apps including the play store. Everything was fine but she called me last night with problems. Most of her apps on the Go Launcher home screen were in the "Loading" state with just an android icon. When she would open the Play Store it would tell her she needed to add her Google Account and pressing the button to add an account would dump her back on Go Launcher. Gmail also dumps her straight to her home screen. She also mentioned something about Go Launcher saying she should try relaunching Go Launcher. After a couple restarts I wasn't able to make any progress on the phone.
So, before I make my trip out to see her, what are some potential culprits? It sounds like the accounts app broke but I don't know how or why.

You're thinking of Google Docs. I'm referring to the generic Google Apps for Android which includes the Play Store, Gmail, Talk, and more.
Try clearing the cache from both Google Play and Google Services Framework, and then reboot.

How can I do this? There is no application management menu in the settings like on normal android.
Turns out the nook tablet updated itself to 1.4.2 even though I had the 9.9.9 version "fix". Why did it update? How can I prevent it in the future aside from loading a custom rom?

[Q] Obtaining Apps from Google Play without Gapps and Device Authentification

Hello all
For security reasons I bought a new phone compatible with CM and installed CM11M12 +freecyngn +Xprivacy without the Gapps. Previously I had a Windows phone. I imagined there to be issues obtaining apps but wouldn't have guessed their extent.
There is a Windows-program that allows for fetching the .akps from the Play Store but it is required that one has authenticated a device first which requires one to have installed the Play services.
There are online tools like evozi that allow for downloading the .apks but due to lacking knowledge in how to verify that the .apks indeed haven't been manipulated I rather avoid those. I don't want to become part of a botnet or install spyware.
There's the Amazon App Store, but that requires the app to be kept installed and the user signed in, and it spies on the user, so no option either. And while Amazon already is missing quite a few apps that are available on the Play Store, it's even more the case with all the other app-stores.
F-Droid is excellent but there are non-free apps that have no FOSS-alternative.
I could imagine flashing stock again and downloading the .apks and storing them somehow on my computer before reinstalling my current system. The question: Is there any other way in obtaining the apps from the Google Play Store that I don't know?
Needless to say that if I have the choice between the convenience of apps on one hand and a system that minimizes spying on the other I choose the latter without the blink of an eye.
Thank you for your help
;__;
You could find the apks floating around but can't promise they haven't been edited. Any of the paid apps that you install will try to verify by connecting to Google play store. Any pirated apps normally include things like keyloggers and screen screen recorders. I'll be honest your will be hard pressed. But then Google doesn't really do much more then ms does
Thank you for your reply, Zelendel.
So if I buy an app in the Play Store on my device using stock ROM, flash CM without Gapps and try to install the same app it won't work because it'd try to verify the purchase and for that the installed Play Services are necessary?
Luckily the apps I'm looking for in particular are mostly free apps. Will they run without the Gapps?

As long as they are not programed to use the Google services or to call back to Google play then yes.

Problem with magsikonwsa with gapps (Windows Subsystem for Android)

Good evening,
i have a problem with the windows subsystem for android in the short time, i installed it from lsposed/magiskonwsa github with gapps google play store. For a short time I have had the problem that everything works for a while, e.g. when I start the play store app, a clock app starts by itself, which is hidden but the traffmonetize is, and then the following happens either I can no longer open the play store or the whole subsystem doesn't work anymore.
what is it and where does it come from
It runs an older version of Android. So if your apks require version 12+ the apks wont start.
