[MENTION=2869]brightside[/MENTION] thanks for that but for now i ain't spending anything just yet 
If you really know how Android works, you might realize there is an easy way to get paid apps for free
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

bro i have few questions
what are the chances of getting malware through these cracked apps? are they safe?
among the above apps which are the most reliable and safe to download?
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?
[MENTION=8060]abobobilly[/MENTION] I've hardly ever felt the need to delete music from the phone so the lack of option isn't cumbersome for me. And true, the new UI is just...ravishing
Bro apollo is better...and gplaymusic is battery sucker
Wesay no body looks at ui if u r listening music...ui say kya karna hai...playlist banao or play karoo...

[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.

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.
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.

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.

NONE.

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)
Not just malwares but apps as a whole. App Verfication can also fail if you have a cracked app installed with removed license.

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

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

If anyone has 2-3 days to spare, play "Game Dev Story".
Extremely addictive, once you get the hang of it, you won't be able to leave until it has ended.

We have disabled traderscore and are working on a fix. There was a bug with the plugin | Click for Discord

Necrokiller:
The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol -
Necrokiller:
It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.
-
XPremiuM:
Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already. -
XPremiuM:
Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.
-
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol
-
SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is
-
XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.
-
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
