Android w/o gapps. How to get purchased apps I'm thinking of wiping Google from my Android phone using cyanogenmod w/o gapps using alternative app stores.

The problem is that i have puchased already numerous apps in Google play store, which I don't want to loose.

Is there a possibility to download and install manually the apps I bought at Google play? How to get the newest updates?

Thanks in advance.
I like to use this: GooglePlayDownloader

Though I had to edit the source code to get it to work for me.

You can browse the play store from your pc and also search for any updates to your apk's you have downloaded. I then adb install the apk's I downloaded.

I run it under linux but it is written in python so should be cross platform.

As said in your comments you use your google account but this software is local and not on a web server. Plus it is open source so you can trust in what your account is being used for.

You will need:


Google Email
Google Password
Android ID
Laguage Code (example: en_US)
