This is actually a follow-up to an earlier post lamenting that I was being forced into a new phone because my 3G one is no longer supported. I was depressed and resigned to submitting to newer, more advanced, Google spyware. That's why today I am sharing with you my joy in discovering that, so far, I have succeeded in bypassing, and even completely DISABLING Google's Play Store, and most other Google-related apps (Gmail, etc). Yet I still have all the apps I want and they work beautifully! The secret? I found a sweet little open source substitute, which works even better than APK Pure. **[AURORA STORE](https://www.auroraoss.com)** Got it off their website without even using Play Store. Kudos to the developers. You make the world a better place.
