    What's the best file explorer to replace es file explorer

    Yes, I also remember security warnings about ES Explorer from some years ago. Interesting it took Google that long to give it the boot.

    Downloading (paid!) APK from Google Play & sideloading it?

    Update (yes, another one, I lost count now, honestly): At least, I can report success on one front, I could finally add Paypal as a payment method in the Google Play Store. The only thing that was different this time was that I had removed the 'authentication' requirement for purchases, only...

    Downloading (paid!) APK from Google Play & sideloading it?

    I'm well aware of that. One of the reasons I usually don't want to have anything to do with such warez. But then, you can't fit a lot of malware into 86 kb. P.S.: No, no personal info necessary. P.S. 2: Found this regarding Google Play cards, containing lots of (well-deserved, IMHO)...

    Downloading (paid!) APK from Google Play & sideloading it?

    Although this, on the one hand, is only yet another update on the Caustic saga (and it looks like I'm in full self talk mode now regarding that), it also shines a new light on Google's Play Store (and not a good one), so I finally made this an entirely new post. A looooong one. 1.) Meanwhile...

    Downloading (paid!) APK from Google Play & sideloading it?

    Thanks for looking into it. Well, that makes me sad. I actually wanted to get that unlock key for years, just didn't get around to it. :cry: I have several music apps for iOS, which seems to be the much more popular platform for music production of any kind. Most of them are way too...

    What's the best file explorer to replace es file explorer

    Total Commander does everything I need & more. Don't know why it doesn't get more love. Maybe I'm just used to its little quirks after having used the excellent Windows version for about 3 decades.

    Downloading (paid!) APK from Google Play & sideloading it?

    I already have the desktop version (which is indeed free). But this thread is (only) about the Android version. What is going on with the app, is unclear, see e.g. here: https://singlecellsoftware.com/node/21206 As for FL Studio, I'm very well aware of it (as of Cubasis, n-Track Studio...

    Downloading (paid!) APK from Google Play & sideloading it?

    I know, but I'm looking for a way to download the unlock key file that verifies/validates my personal license. I can't imagine any generic download will do. Will it? I can get the base app (albeit one minor version outdated) from the Az app store. But that's not the point of my inquiry. OTOH...

    Downloading (paid!) APK from Google Play & sideloading it?

    Hi all, kind of a weird question due to some special circumstances: I have an older (ca. 2019) Amazon 10" Fire tablet running something like FireOS 7.xx which AFAIK was still based on Android 5.x. I also have a Galaxy J-something smartphone (running Android 7.x IIRC) somewhere which I can't...
