Good to know
- Pick the Universal APK unless you know your phone's architecture — it works everywhere.
- For plugin-based apps like MusicFree and LX Music, import a community source plugin after install to unlock searching.
- Android may warn about APKs from outside the Play Store — that's normal for open-source apps distributed via official releases.
