^^ rooting i guess ? nah im staying on stock for a while

Rooting has nothing to do with paid apps. Android doesn't work like iOS. You just need too grab a cracked APK for that application and install it. That's all. Rooting is when you need to access the Android subsystem. It is required when you want to overclock or install a custom rom.

Popular applications that provide cracked APKS:-
Aptoide
Blackmarket
1Market

Website:-
Mobilism.org

You guys should all get the paid app 'Better Battery Stats'. It shows very detailed data about your phone, such as kernel wakelocks, partial wakelocks, CPU states...it basically allows you to pinpoint apps or processes eating up your phone battery. Just google this app and see the reviews. It's a popular app among posters at XDA developers forum.
Bro also it tells u rate of change of battery percent loss....


Mine is abt -13.6% per hour

[MENTION=1049]w00t[/MENTION]! 1Market is not a source for Cracked apps. Its just a market other than Google Play Store, and it doesn't require an account to work, unlike Play Store. Other apps like 1Market are Yandex Store.

what are the chances of getting malware through these cracked apps? are they safe?
NONE.

At best you will have some apps annoy you with stupid Ads (if you install an app from cracked sources, not listed on Play Store). Nothing which will disturb the OS.

among the above apps which are the most reliable and safe to download?
Blackmart is preferred because its easy to use, intuitive and the latest version offers the best way to share apps across Android eco system (Suppose if you purchase a Paid app from Play Store and you want to share it with others. You can easily upload it to Blackmart servers, unless its already available there)

there is something to VERIFY APPS which is built in JB 4.2.2. which i have in my galaxy s4 ... will this help in catching malwares?
Not just malwares but apps as a whole. App Verfication can also fail if you have a cracked app installed with removed license.

So its better to turn off that option, unless you are one of the rare ones who never install anything pirated.

For example, there is an app for rooted phones called "Lucky Patcher" which patches apps (to crack them, given its cracking code is available in the app). Android will never verify this app as its not listed in Play Store. But its safe to use. (given you know what it really is)

There isn't anything to worry about Viruses, Malwares or anything like that. Which means you don't have to install those Stupid Antivirus and malware softwares because they MAY give you problems if you have installed Cracked apps in your phone.

Before downloading anything from Blackmart, just check if that app is available in Play Store, and the version matches with the one you are about to download from say, Blackmart. If it doesn't ... you are better off not installing it and visit alternative site .. say, Mobilism inorder to download that.

Apollo is not the best music player out there. It was the best in an era where Google Play Music was not much evolve, was very resource hungry and had many problems. NOT ANYMORE

Google Play Music has set the standard how a music app should be made and i assure you its gonna get even better from now on.

However for feature rich apps, you may have to look elsewhere, preferably towards "PowerAmp". Though remember, Features come with a price i.e. Heavy Resource Utilization.

And GPlayMusic is totally different Music app being developed by an XDA Member. Its focus is towards people who rely on Music stored on Cloud Storage.

It isn't? I remember I used it once, I don't see why I would have used it when you already have play store.

No malware through cracked apps, but be careful about those 1MB free games from PlayStore. They have all authentic posters and screenshots, look much larger in size but are only 1MB. Pure malware and adware, very hard to remove, even with anti-virus.


Also, all these applications are best when you need to download games that don't have extra sd data. If games have extra data, use Mobilism.

[MENTION=1049]w00t[/MENTION]! Because of restriction free downloads.
+ You don't need to setup an account (although you have the option to set either Google or 1Market account, if you want to)
+ Every app is available to you, regardless of being restricted.
+ Every app you download, you can have its .apk stored with it. (although you can turn it off from settings)
- Downside is that there are some apps available there which aren't available at Play Store.

So you see, 1Market has its advantages. But i still prefer Google Play Store over it.

Other markets like Amazon, BrainApp etc etc are also of same sort.

Actually, I remember now. It wasn't for any of the reasons above. :D

I remember PTA kind of blocked Google Services and Play Store was blocked with it, that's when I used 1Market.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
