Was going to use Aptoide or something like that instead the Google play stuff for my Android apps
Will that work ok or will it have problems also ?
Thanks
You could use any store in theory, but some apps need the Google Play services, otherwise they won't start / work properly.
The Playstation app for example. I didn't want to install a whole GAPPS package, so I installed only the Play services.
In that case it worked, but I can't promise it will work for every app.
No,
I guess you could always switch to a windows phone if you don't need any apps ;o)
The only use I have found for gapps is downloads from play store, and even those apps can be sideloaded without the need for gapps. Otherwise, in my opinion, gapps framework is a constant drag on fire-phone. They use up resources in the background.
I have about 7 androd devices and have disabled Google Apps on almost all of them, and life is good.
Same here, using F-Droid and a 2nd repo I made for myself. I'd rather buy (or donate for) apps directly, e.g. here on XDA instead of using the Play Store.
Novice users tend to prefer Google Play Store & services, because it's comfortable and (usually ^^) hassle free, I suppose.
I have apps I've paid for on google play store and there are other apps there that are not on amazon's app store so yeah you really do.
I'm still running 4.6.1, so no Google Play Store or Services for me. I get all my apps from Aptoide and most of them work fine. So you don't really need to use Google stuff but as mentioned some apps won't work...
Any app store will work... the only advantage about using google play store and google services is that you need google play services to get most google apps working such as maps, hangouts, etc. Also, any games that work with the Play store scoring system will require google play. Other than that, most 3rd party apps will work fine if they don't integrate with google play.

I'm not sure but if it requires google play store you are f*ked for now... I've tried many ways to get google play store to my phone but i was unsuccesful... I've only managed to make google play services to work but it's nothing until you get Google Play Store...
Hi guys, would someone mind telling me what version of Google Play Store they are running? And Google Play Services too if they wouldn't mind.
I was downgrading some Google apps to get the voice recognition working better and caused some other problems and can't find a working version of the play store or play services.
Thanks
Hi. I've installed Google apps and play store on my rooted AFTV2 by following the Aftvnews guide here:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-the-fire-tv-2-running-fire-os-5/
So far so good... I've signed in with my play store login, and can download and run free apps.
But I can't get paid apps to install or in app purchases to work.
e.g. in sky force anniversary if i try the IAP to get the whole game, the google play payment box pops up, it has my correct play store credit balance but every time I try I get a “purchase failed!“ error. Similar happens when trying to download paid apps directly from play store.
I had some success with newer Google play services and play store - I was able to sign in to Google play games but the play store crashes when I open it (I have hd xposed) so still not able to buy apps...
Has anyone managed to buy Google play apps by using different Google app versions e.g. play store, play services, play games? I only want the leanback versions as sky force anniversary is a Google TV app.
PS I don't want to pirate any apps, since I have the money to buy them!
Thanks!
I need to all the google play store set (login services, framework, google play services and I suppose play store although we know it doesn't work).
Once the three part are working, the apps that need them should work.
Can someone point me to the thread where the versions are suggested and
linked to where to find them.
Thanks
