[EXTENSION] APK Downloader - Download APK files on Android Market directly

redphx · Feb 24, 2012

APK Downloader is a Google Chrome extension that allows you to download Android APK files right on Android Market

See it in action:

Because the instruction is quite long ( and difficult ), so I recommend that you should read it on its homepage: http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/

Please tell if it works

( To MOD: I don't know where to post this topic, so I put it here. Hope it's ok. Thanks )

You should read this: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags
Haven't tested on Linux yet

Firstly, I would like to thank you as it would help for those who are in countries that cannot download application.

Just a question, I'm a bit lost in following the instruction on where or how to open APK Downloader Options page?

Thanks in advance.

To open options page, select Tools ~> Extensions. Find APK Downloader, and you'll see Options at the end of the description

Neither do I. I don't want to get into trouble because of that.

someone care to link or pm apk-downloader? im in asia and getting tired of looking for chrome beta apk.

louisebb · Feb 26, 2012

I went back to Code Kiem Co'm (http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/), read the message of Redphx.

Can someone explain where on the "instructions" website the link for this extension is???
It's not on the Chrome Store.

edit: read the blog post and it was removed, can you please give it to me? I need it because I changed my phone's density and it says app incompatible, so downloading and side loading would be my best source and this seemed like the BEST idea.
Why the hell do people have to ruin good ideas with their piracy crap?

Jack_Random · Feb 26, 2012

some1 please post the extension here or pm it to me if possible please

as mentioned above, got removed from the link

cheers

The extension is disabled so even if you install it, it wont work. I pm'ed the dev but i doubt he'll reply.

Another app made by an asian that rushed to release without thorough testing. Go figure. Someone lock this thread.

Please keep in mind that the problem comes from ( some ) users, not the extension itself. The extension works as it should. But some people use it to do bad things, and I really don't want that.

Is it possible to FIX those issues and get this back up and running? I would really love this.

But isn't it possible to make backups of paid apps from your phone itself? (I haven't bought any apps either)

So in that sense, your extension wouldn't be increasing piracy at all. And those who wish to pirate would anyway.

This app otherwise would be insanely useful!

This extension makes piracy more easy...

Doesnt mean everyone will pirate though. In my case, some apps cant be downloaded using market app ( sucks living in asia when it comes to that) thats where this comes in handy
