Safe site other than Market to download APKs? - Thunderbolt Themes and Apps

I am not talking about paid/warez APKs, but would like to know if there is a trustworthy site that I can download free APKs from? For example, Softpedia is usually my goto site for freeware when I am looking for PC apps. Does such a site exist for Android? Thanks in advance for your replies and have a great day!
I forgot to mention that I am currently trying out the Amazon App Market.
Thanks,

Yes it does.

pandaapp.com is another good one. thats what i use for all my questionably legal app downloads

Same Boat
Why be so judgy im in the same boat also looking for a place to download to my pc because i have a game room that my wifi doesn't reach and the apps can only be downloaded via wifi or 3g (if available) using the play store, I would like to see google incorp. direct download to the tablet and phones via usb using your pc as a medium aka as long as your android device is connected via usb allow direct download

You can always try 4shared.com
I usually buy apps, but sometimes I like to take them for a spin before I buy them to see if it's worth it.
Remember, always support developers.

SlideME.org

I would say just search Google with the app name and .apk at the end. Works most of the time and I find the ones I need with no problem.
I would not recommend the Amazon App Store because last few times I downloaded, it would just bug out. Not sure if they fixed it now though.

APKs FOR THUNDERBOLT
TRY "MARKETPLACE.COM/ANDROID" see if you can't find something. I have in the past. At least give it a try
Good Luck

play store (android market) can wireless push / synch apps from android.market.com to any device synching to your google account / device. no need for usb. this has been available forever. as far as trustworthy freeware sites, some torrent trackers as well as a few other d/l hosting sites cater to this, but not many unfortunately.

I never had a problem with Amazon app store, plus you get a free paid app everyday.

Mediafire for sure. 4shared is also a great site.

Torrent App for Phone

i have tried both ttorrent and dtorr and neither one works. i can add torrents but they never start downloading.. i am using bamf remix 2 beta 5. any ideas? has anyone been able to get torrents to work?
Am pretty sure Torrents around here are taboo and not to be discussed but I could be wrong. I'll follow the thread out of curiosity.
I dont see why? torent apps are 100% legal its what you downlload that "Could be illegal" and he was not asking anything about that kind of stuff
I'm on stock Rom and ttorrents works really well.

I use transdroid to control my seedbox. I think you could set it up to control the torrent client on your pc.

Adownloader is the best I've used. It has no download speed limit and its free.
I use swarm. The downloads start pretty fast and i haven't had a problem so far.

In tTorrent - did you go into Settings and uncheck the "Use Wifi Only" option?
Torrent-fu is my favorite.

In re-reading the thread, it appears you were asking for local clients for the phone. Torrent-Fu controls a remote PC. Sorry about that.
Make sure in torrent under settings that you uncheck the option to use WiFi only.

this is what i do as well, it works really well for adding torrents to deluge on my vps. as far as using a torrent client on your phone that downloads directly to your phone, i would not do that personally unless you are using a public tracker like thepiratebay since any reputable tracker is most likely not going to allow a tracker from the android market. i tried andtorrent or something similar just to see if it would work on one of my private trackers and i was immediately banned from the site for using an unapproved client.
I really wish people would quit getting all bent out of shape about torrents. Not every torrent is something illegal. However, it makes it easy to see who has ever downloaded a linux distro by how much they think torrents are bad (hint: is a primary way to download most linux distros).
If the apps arent working already made, just compile one using android NDK (native development kit) (provided by google if you search) or try something like http://inportb.com/2010/10/17/debian-packages-on-android-phones/. The later lets you port debian arm packages to your phone for use and debian includes the biggest command line torrent software out there, rtorrent. For a cli app, rtorrent is very easy to use and you can just let it run in the background without the fear of it hogging your system like some gui apps might. Only downside with using debian packages is they're probably not going to use the same libc built into android, which runs faster, but oh well, shouldnt make a huge difference.
I liked swarm but I have had the best luck with andtor.

[Q] rom manager premium

why i can't use the premium methods even though that i downloaded the latest premium license key (1.0.7) and i have the latest version of ROM MANAGER (4.4.0.7)? i downloaded it like dozen times from alot of different sites and links and even from the blackmart and everytime i install it, it show me the license apk and that everything is well, but actually the rom manager is still at the free mode...why?

Why are you trying to use Rom manager on this phone? Are you running mtd or BML?

Premium licenses are there so that you can give the dev a small donation for all of his hard work, and in return get a couple of cool features. NOT for you to steal and then see if they work, because they won't.

While on topic, I got the premium app way back when he was taking paypal payments off the market. How do i get premium access if i don't have the ability to get the premium version from the market? I tried to email that guy but he doesn't respond.

I'm not gonna badger on about stealing because you've already been told, but I think when you buy the premium licence, its device specific meaning....the information in build.prop will have to match the information embedded in the app, but a word of advice....don't steal mate, your paying for developers time and effort and now you've mentioned you download from different websites....chances are no-one will help you anymore mate

When you purchase the premium license for the ROM manager or any other app from the android market, it can be downloaded and used on any of your registered devices.
ok i think i got it,seriously, you can stop with that now...i'll not use or try to use in that premium thing... thank again everybody and respect,really!
I was thinking about using ROM Manager. A video online I saw seemed to show it was an easy way to try out different ROMs on my new (used) Droid Incredible I just bought. Is there any down side to using ROM Manager? I have no problem paying for it!
Even if I have not associated my new phone to my Verizon account yet, can I just download/install ROM Manager from the App Store if I connect my phone to my WIFI network at home?
Thanks for any feedback you can provide. I am totally new to Android, just migrated from WebOS.

QuickOffice Pro free (11/14/2011) on Amazon App Store

Is it any different than Samsung's included version though?

I'd say that if you get it via the Amazon store, you'll have access to future upgrades that you probably won't get with Samsung's version.
I did what I normally due with most of these Amazon freebies. I purchase them, it starts the download, and then I cancel the install.
If I ever happen to need that program in the future, I just go to the Amazon App Store and its waiting to be downloaded and installed.
That's a pretty cool idea actually.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yeah, it works well and I don't have 100 different apps cluttering up my phone and taking up space. The annoying part is that when I open the Amazon App store I always have 20+ apps waiting to be downloaded. I have to scroll through a list to find out what I have. Plus, I haven't found a way to delete a program I no longer want.
I tried downloading QuickOffice Pro from the Amazon App store yesterday many times throughout the day, and kept getting an error. So much for getting it free.
