[Request to devs] Please make an Appx Installer app for phones - Windows 10 Mobile Apps. and Games

I love to use interop tools' App Installer than the Built in one. But it would be appreciated if someone would use that interop tools' feature and make an App installer which would open .appx .appxbundle files.
Expecting positive reply ?

Yes, I'm already working on it. It's possible but no-one has been doing it. I'm really starting to wonder if there are that many developers in the Windows 10 forums. The site is called "xda-developers" but I'm seeing a lot more consumers than developers over here.

Wow... Is it like the App Installer in PC?

Device portal or a simple click does the same.

You can't see any progress or status on your phone though. Can get really frustrating when installing from an appx/appxbundle file sometimes.

Really?

That's by using the device portal. Install the appx/appxbundle manually on the phone. The app either appears on your app list or it doesn't.

So whats the point to install an app to help install another if already we have device portal?

So you don't have to use device portal.

I bet you will use device portal stuff.

What's your point? You know on android, you don't need computers to install apk's outside the store right? That's basically what we're trying to achieve other here. Remove the need for device portal so we can install apps faster.

Have you ever hear of WMAppPRHeader.xml ?
and, where from to install apps, if there is no one?

Done. The thread is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...mes/appx-appxbundle-installer-phones-t3669665

Lol, you didn't tell me you could also use device portal locally on phones by entering the address: "127.0.0.1". Oh well At least the app supports Dark theme!

With today's release, you won't ever have to touch Windows Device Portal to sideload apps ever again: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...mes/appx-appxbundle-installer-phones-t3669665

I would say yes, although my Android skills are extremely limited as-is. Although running a program idea by me wouldn't hurt either (would it?)

The program is in Java, so it's universal. The web component should run on any browser. If anything was "loaded" it should be in your downloads folder, else download it again and watch carefully where it goes.
I have the image I want for the app and the website it will go to. All I am looking for it to do right now is to touch the app and it takes you right to the site I want it to go to.

You shouldn't be recommending anyone use Aptoide, it's a warez infested gimp haven!
ABP can be found on F-Droid tho: http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adblockplus.android :good:

Yes, that is true, but APKs that cannot be found on google play is usually uploaded on aptoide. Its morals, and anyone with morals would support the developer and purchase their app.. Not to say i have not downloaded any paid apps without paying for them, but i definitely have donated and purchased apps that have saved my ass such as speedview when my speedo was not working.
I uses ad away it uses less battery

Offline? You need to download app for phone and browse/install apps from it. Suppose its online! The same app as google play.
I dont see any offline .apk links for PC. The only offline .apk rep I know is f-droid.org

Adblock Plus is available from the Amazon Store, why not just download it from there?
https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
So, this [Adblock Plus for Android] will block annoying adds inside apps?
Is it recommended to also use the Adblock verion specifically for Firefox if you have this version installed?
Any issues using this alongside Android Firewall (besides the obvious one of needing to add Adblock to the whitelist so that it can download it's block list)?
Two other apps I'd recommend to anybody reading this thread: greenify and wakelock detector.

Hope this helped you.

Is it safe to download and install direct apk not through market? (WhatsApp website)

Hi,
I don't want register with Google market on my phone, I was wondering if it safe to reach the whatsapp.com site, press download and put the apk on my device?
I did this but then I got a security warning which made me rethink my actions and consult you guys. So is it unsafe?
thx!

Well yea, but that's the thing I'm not sure about if it is safe using this apk which Google hasn't inspected (normally I'd be quite warry of such things)...
But ok, I got you guys, in this case I'll ignore the warnings.
Thank you!

If you download from Whatsapp official website then it is safe.
However if you download some app from other place, it MAY be harmful. Apps from Google Play are checked, but other place downloads are not checked.
But it is safe to download from OFFICIAL website of app.
Press Thanks if helped.

thx.
Yeah, the system warning got me all paranoid, thinking that maybe someone hacked the site or that I have entered some mock page (via google)... XD
thx anyway, the deed is done.

Password-protecting an app

Is there any way to do this natively in Android, or is an app installation required to do this?

You can do it on some devices like Oneplus, but it depends of the OEM. Most of the time people download app lockers app to do this. This one for example ( https://www.xda-developers.com/secure-your-apps-with-applock-pro/ ) was featured on a sponsored post. I guess xda knows who to chose to sponsor them so I think you can trust this app.
Good Luck

Question Is this app risky?

Hi all..just wanted to check if this app is shady or not? https://tmwhatsapp.net/
I wouldn't trust it but that's just me.

I can barely stomach giving access to all my personal info to Meta. But at least it's encrypted, audited and somewhat bound by law.
Giving the same access to some random dev would be something I personally wouldn't do. His intentions may be good, but the reverse could be true as well.
Would you be comfortable using a "modded" banking app (say TM HDFC or TM ICICI)? Treat this app the same way and go with whatever your answer to that question is.
My Frank opinion: Avoid using the app.
You are absolutely right and it was stupid of me asking about it here. There was some chat about the app online that piqued my interest hence the question. A YouTuber even talked about such a modded app online....Anyways... thanks for the opinion
I use WhatsApp plus since 7 years without any problem but I highly recommend using

all modded apps are risky
Always run virus scan on .apk files (e.g. virustotal) before manually installing them..........

The app may not necessarily have viruses in them but their code may be so borked that the app in itself will be malicious.
