   Hi Arno,   
      
   Happy New Year!   
      
   Ah, that's a different use case then, where the Android Aurora will install   
   even payware apps, but the difference is you have to use your Google   
   Account on Aurora instead of the anonymous account to access payware apps.   
      
   The good news is Aurora complements (or replaces) the Google Play Store app   
   because it does useful things that Google will never let you do otherwise.   
      
    1. Aurora does not delete the APK installers after installation!   
    2. Aurora can spoof sw/hw to make applications available to you   
    3. Aurora doesn't create a privacy-robbing Google Account on your phone   
    4. Aurora does a (much) better auto update than Google Play does   
    5. And Aurora has better filters than the Google Play Store has   
       etc.   
   Although even the much better filters of Aurora pale in comparison to   
   Skyica App Finder (which I helped the developer test a few years ago).   
       
      
   If anyone can find a better search engine than Skyica, then I'll be shocked   
   because I helped the developer add some of the nice features he has in it.   
      
   The best of all worlds is:   
    a. Use the Google Play Store, if you must, but you'll lose privacy   
    b. Use the Aurora app whether or not you use the Google Play Store app   
    c. Find the files you need with the Skyica App Finder filter set   
          
   --   
   How you use Android, particularly how you save & reuse your installers,   
   is something that must be designed into the very first install steps.
