LG Superfan, 23 May 2019Aptoide sucks and without ARM Huawei can not release new So... moreExactly how in the world huawei could make their own chips without ARM parts just in 6 months if only a miracle would happen otherwise Huawei Phone department is absolutely doomed

    Well... all things come to an end...sorry Huawei fans

      If not sure that it's really safe, it's impossible to change to other phone with other os and store's apps.

              AnonD-558092, 23 May 2019Aptoide is a malware store. Like Mobogenie. Anyway that ... moreActually Linux devs are doing pretty fine with app(APK) porting. Although still in development it is working.

                Ali2020elo, 23 May 2019I think there will be a Google services package available i... moreNot as long as google still has that supported devices thing going on, and huawei devices won't be amung them. Unless google stops this and reverts to how it used to be so that any android device can install google apps.

                I can understand why google don't want users to install youtube, maps etc outside of play store, but lock those to play store and play services then and let everyone install google play with all required google apps and link them so that uninstalling one removes all if it's so important to have them all or none.

                Anyways, apps that aren't sensitive to play services can still be used, so Here maps, Outlook (mail and calendar) should work fine as apps and youtube in browser.

                  You have no idea what an open source is & no idea what copyright is either.
                  Android is a mix of Apache 2.0 & GPLv2 licenses.

                    You can replace play store but can you replace all the banned apps? Their web browser better be good.

                                        No processor = no phone = irrelevant whether it's Aptoide or Google Play
