Hey people!
Is there a "safe app" (open source, obtaining APKs directly from Google PlayStore) on Android to download APKs from the PlayStore and install it on a Android device which has no GooglePlay services running? If not, which one is the safest solution to use a (linux) program (open source) or browser extension (open source) to do so? I don't wan't to step in fishing traps or get myself some malware from 3rd party app stores.
Thank you!
Blankstore but you won't find all apps due to the generated Android ID.
Thank you very much! Unfortunately the program seems to be discontinued and therefor it's not working on Android .
Try this: https://apkpure.com/about.html#

I used it for several months and it's still working. There's no "active developement", only bug fixes. That's why OP mentions "discontinued". FYI he will work on a new App store this summer (or later if he doesn't have enough free time).

Thank you very much! I'll have a look later on. I also wondered about Apkpure. Doesn't look too reliable.

I tried Apkpure a few days and my sha1 checks were ok compared to the original apks (next updates from Google Play were working too) BUT we have no guarantee that it will always work like that... I'm waiting for the new Blankstore. For now, most of my apps are downloaded from F-Droid and the remaining ones are updated through the original Google Play. Fortunately, we have microG framework.

I found some build instructions at chromium.org and some public repo (not google's) at github, but so far no apk.
I'm asking because I couldn't find a video or demo of chromium running on android either which makes me wonder if it works at all or just limited to a webview basic mode.

I saw it once and tried researching it but could not find it again. Not 1 apk but 2. You need them both. I do not remember their names.

Sounds like some modded whatsapp apks I seen, but couldn't find anything either
Wonder how difficult would it be to couple the chromium-based webview with a browser UI

Yes, but it gets released everyday.
The trick with the official build of Chromium for Android is that it's constantly being released by the Chromium team.
These builds don't auto-update, so you need to install new builds occasionally( I install a new build every day, personally).
I put together an app getChromium that's available on Google Play(can't link anything in here yet) that securely pulls the latest build from the official repository and installs it.
Code's on github.

The app wasn't being used correctly by most of the users acquired on Google Play, so I've actually permanently moved it to GitHub. https://github.com/andDevW/getChromium. People all over the world were using it to install Chromium and then uninstalling it, unaware that the Chromium browser they're using will never update itself.
Hi,
just to say it: I would not have to ask this question at all, if the cyanogen forum would be up... I'm pretty sure I'm not the first cyanogenOS user with this problem.
I'm a TripAdvisor user and the android app is letting me down during my holiday at this very moment. Because I'm using CyanogenOS (not rooted) it won't show the embedded google map. The complete error message I'm getting is: "Themes on devices running Cyanogen OS are known to cause crashes with Google Maps. Maps on TripAdvisor will be disabled on this device."
I've never had a crash with Google Maps on Wileyfox Swift2. So how do I get rid of the issue with very little effort?
Thanks!
I have this same problem. It's a bit annoying for the TripAdvisor app to not even give the user the option to try the embedded Google Maps. The original poster's idea of "hiding" the fact that the device is running CyanogenMod (in my case, despite that TripAdvisor thinks its Cyanogen OS) from the app would be a useful workaround.
Anyone?
thanks.
(OnePlus One, CyanogenMod 14.1 nightly last, until LineageOS gets up and running...)
Same problem here with running Oneplus One CyanogenOS . I'm pretty sure it is a way of tripadvisor boycott Cyanogen powered devices, because I never had a single problem using both Tripadvisor or Google Maps...
Hi littlebifi, you made a point to note that your device is not rooted; is that to suggest that on a rooted device you know of a way to fool the TripAdvisor app into NOT blocking Google Maps embedded? How?
thanks,

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I don't know if it's possible to fool the app if the device would be rooted. I just stated it to describe my current setup.
As a temporary solution I downgraded my Tripadvisor app to the previous version (uninstalled the old one, downloaded an old apk from some database online and installed this one) and now it's working again. But now I have annoying update notices from the play store, but the embedded map works again.
URL of prior version Tripadvisor app .APK?
Thanks for the reply. Could you post the URL of the prior version Tripadvisor app .APK that you used? (I make the assumption that you're satisfied that it's a legitimate version, not infected/tainted).
cheers,

I'm not allowed to post outside links. So please post the link I send you as pm instead of me
I can't give any guarantee for the outside link. It works for me.
Version 19 and higher has the block for mods, so I choose the latest Version 18.
Thanks. I tried both the link you sent in the PM and another I found by searching, and on my OnePlus One with CM14.1 both are rejected as corrupt...

It's not the fact that it's an .apk instead of a Store installation (that would give a different error). The Android Package Installer really thinks that these are corrupt - or perhaps the OnePlus One or CM14.1/Android 7.1 .apk has to be slightly different than whatever I'm finding in these .apk archives?

It works for me and I just shared my apk with a friend it works for him. Search the thread and look for the last posted update from the OP. Theres a regular one and a black themed one and they both work. Also you can check the magisk thread where there are four different themed OG youtube apps that you can just extract from the magisk zip and install or use the magisk app to install if you have root. The app isnt available from the site because the dev took it down. Make sure you have microG installed , if not you can just google microG apk and it should take you to apkmirror.com.

Using this version (in the repo) gets updates from the play store and allows you to opt into the beta program without issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/magisk-oneplus-5-google-dialer-contacts-t3640993
Just Take the Google framework magisk add-on. Clear playstore cash and then install Google dialer directly from the playstore. Gets regular updates and works good.

Same version as the one you stated, nothing installed other than the single magisk module I referenced.
Playstore updates phone+contacts without issue, just need to make them the default apps the first time the module is installed.

Hi,
I don't like the oos contacts, dialer, calc and sms. Here are my instructions.
1. Delete the oos dialer and contacts (system/priv-app)
2. Download and install (or copy to system/priv-app) the Google contacts 3.2 (with dark mode) and dialer v25 (for all devices and dark mode). You can install it like a normal apk oder copy it to system/priv-app.
3. Set it as the default dialer and reboot.
4. Google calc and sms work also.
Contacts https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts/google-contacts-3-2-4-220343473-release

Try the non-root version if the root version is giving you problems. Vanced works perfectly for me on my Pixel 6 Pro.
Why vanced? Try the open source newpipe. No ads whatsoever.
Just use the non root version. It works for me like a charm
Non root version works perfectly for me as well. Try deleting the app, microg and the manager, delete any folders in appdata related to them all, and start fresh.
Here ya go.
