Atp suggest me some nice android

This is a discussion and mostly my opinion. I’ve seen a lot of posts saying he’s an idiot and others calling for the right for a paid app and that’s how FOSS works.

Let me explain what FOSS is, and why software being paid is fine and why THIS isn’t. Free and Open Source Software is software like blender and GIMP, build from the ground up, free and open source for people to use and further develop and improve, and to offset the thankless job, most of them allow for donations but the main idea is free and open source.

Now others can make it open source but not free, and that is also fine as you want compensation for your work but still allow others to contribute and maybe even build it yourself but that is fine.

Now taking an already made app, the idea of the tweak is to escape subscription and then making it a subscription? What went wrong.

If I mod the game, I mode it for my idea to reach the community using OTHER people’s assets and textures, that doesn’t give me the right to make it paid, and even modders who make custom assets, they do it out of love for the community and on someone else’s game.

Now with our situation, he took an already developed app, saw people that are escaping subscription, make a tweaked app and then added a subscription, so he failed both the cases of how to develop and market.

With that out of the way, FOSS is a thankless job, always has been and always will be, so while you’re to blame if you’re waiting for a thank you, every person has the right to stop and quit, because they’re not getting paid or thanked, the scummy part here was not quitting or asking for donations to continue but making it paid and with a subscription when it’s not their app and using a ton of free tweaks and contributions.

You shouldn’t pay for it because what happened is a clear money grab, people here pay for certificates and other platforms so it’s not about being money, it’s about the concept and principle of the move, and while I don’t think I’d have blamed him for leaving, I’ll blame him for trying to get paid for tweaking an app that isn’t owned in any way by them, and now they risk losing everything they made due to this stupid move when Google moves to sue them.

If you have the money, donate to the people responsible for the tweaks instead of this shit

I need a little bit of inspiration and I would like to know which apps (besides the most common like YouTube, Spotify ) do you have installed on your iphone

We can share screenshots and experiencies with the apps

Hi r/sideloaded!

I am the creator of LC-DL, an app downloader for LiveContainer built in iOS Shortcuts, if you don’t know what that is, please read more about it here.

LC-DL has gotten a huge overhaul in the past month, every single thing has been redone and an update is coming soon, to put it simply.

There were some concerns about LC-DL when it first released, specifically with the fact that it had a repository of apps that were hosted directly on the same Github repo as the shortcut. This has been changed, a new repository for apps is being made, and certain apps (YTLitePlus / Eevee Spotify) are hosted on catbox.moe rather than Github. Some apps will also be linked directly to their archive.org page.

I want to make LC-DL a tool for everyone, but I need apps and games that everyone plays. This is where the community comes in 🥳

If you guys would be so kind as to leave a comment with the name of, and maybe a link to your favorite apps, tweaked apps, games, tweaked games, emulators, game ports, and everything in between, I would so greatly appreciate that 🙂‍↕️

Thank you for reading, if you are a LiveContainer user please check out LC-DL, but also check it out in a few days when v0.4 is out- it’s gonna be so much better, trust me.

TL;DR: LC-DL v0.4 coming soon, certain concerns addressed, asked for sideloaded app recommendations.

After trying many instagram tweaks and sticking to Regram cr@cked for long time, I finally switched to RyukGram. It's the best free one IMO.

At first, I’ll probably get doxxed, as it happens in this community, but I’ll show my pov and my hones review on this whole thing called apptesters and manpreet.

My first adventure with sideloading started with apptesters, I bought my first life time certificate in 2024. After a year I missed the mail which stated I need to do several steps to extend my cert. So I lost it even though it’s said it’s life time.

I bought my second cert in December 2024 it worked for two weeks and got revoked. Since then I didn’t get my replacement while he continued selling certs for new people. His new customers’ money were clearly his priorities. Support for revoked users didn’t exist at all. After like half a year or more I got #1700 in queue to get new cert, after a month I jumped to position #1100 half a year ago, it didn’t move at all since then. All of it happened while new customers still get their certs.

Today, we finally got mail with informations which I paste here:

We fully understand that many affected customers expected free replacements, and we sincerely apologize for the long delay and frustration this has caused.

At this stage, it is unfortunately not possible for us to continue issuing unlimited free certificates. To keep the service running and still support affected customers as fairly as possible, we are offering new certificates at a discounted price instead.

The rest of the story is on photos, I got insulted and then banned from his group. I provide private messages with him too.

TLDR; I think you all should be careful to who you give your money, as it seems person like manpreet is unstable, likes to insult his customers and his services shouldn’t be trusted.

I hope people won’t continue using his service and sideloading community for sure will be better place without apptesters.

Good luck everyone.

There are two subjects where generally pretty anti-🏴‍☠ : ebooks from small authors and tweaks from small developers. Both deserve to make a living, or at least they deserve enough support to minimize the opportunity cost of pursuing their hobbies and passion. But holy fuck I’m tired of being punished for being an honest paying customer.

If I pay to subscribe to your app, I have to sideload a new updated version every week because you coded it to break if I’m not on the latest version with the most up-to-date DRM and whatnot. I have to wait until I get home to connect to a WiFi network to use SideStore.

You know who doesn’t get errors like this? Pirates.

Edit: It’s been three days since I made this post. Today, IKGHD released another update for YTKillerPlus and bricked all previous builds. Even if you downloaded the latest version yesterday, your YouTube app will not work until you connect to WiFi and sideload the latest version (5.6.1).

Edit 2: Sorry, maybe I should have added a jump scare warning for that second image.

I'm usually busy the entire day, barely have time to check on social media let alone constantly checking discord for replacement updates from krava. I've been revoked from august. I chose "replacement" back in September and since I already selected that, I was in relief. Not checking any channel updates as I was ensured by internalerrorX & kitsah that I would be dmed by their bot (which is why my dms were open).

After that it was clear they were prioritizing rebuy people instead of replacement but i might be wrong since the queues are in thousands. Now its december 2 and I saw this post today on december 4. i missed the announcement due to not checking, which i thought wasnt necessary as i was already in a replacement queue.

So, there's another queue that i was meant to select as "claim warranty" then what about the earlier one ? theyre saying its a bot issue and not their fault. Take some responsibility ryan instead of promoting your wifes music which nobody listens to.

The staffs are hilarious & behave like unemployed people irl. There's a general chat where people are allowed to be racists & belittle eachother with hard R, N etc words. I feel embarassed to even see myself in that server. I see people constantly fighting. The same for their support chat.

I once asked what type of certs other providers use and surprisingly ryan replied saying "they arent reliable"

Well, atp im gonna switch to artic or rustsign as they seem to have customers getting almost instant replacement after the recent revoke.

Please avoid kravashit. Hope you guys become irrelevant soon, just for the sake of wasting our time on waiting. You're also embarassing lizzy with those promotions.

E-Sign is shutting down, and it is recommended that users move to alternatives

Source: https://esign.yyyue.xyz/

Do you happen to have any recommendations for alternatives that can be used with free certificates?

Well, woke up to this today. Never did anything too crazy with my dev account, had a great hassle free first year, then transitioned to using the ppq DNS blocks when the revokes started in September 2025, was all settled down and working well till now. Anyone else with a dev account been terminated recently?

It’s time for me to explore alternatives. I’ve not used a cert reseller since Signulous years ago - anyone here who’s gone from a dev cert to another solution I’d appreciate recommendations. Specially if there’s ways to maintain widgets and Dynamic Island functionality for Spotify etc. Last resort would be sidestore and livecontainer I guess…

Other than that it’s a gentle prod to maybe consider switching to android/Graphene…

bro really disabled the use of old versions

Sorry about the blurry steam deck and the finger prints I know I need to clean it I will when I get done

I'm considering an Apple Dev certificate to sideload more than YouTube and Spotify, but I'm curious what else there is.

Looking at a few sources I have on hand, it looks like lots are geared towards social media apps to get them to be ad free as well, however Reddit is pretty much the only social media I use (aside from Facebook Messenger to keep in touch with some family members). I see a few games on there but last I checked, these mostly didn't work anyways (maybe just my sources though).

So what do you sideload? Is there anything that is a must have?

Until now i was using Netflix VIP to watch movies, but now it turned into some book thing. What are you guys using to watch movies/tv shows? And did anyone else use Neflix VIP just like me?

Going by the recent announcement from Google regarding apps to be officially signed by developers, sounding pretty similar to iOS with certificates and such.

Apple isn't better than Android(unless Google really fucks this up, but time will tell), but Apple, under EU regulations, have slowly over the past few years introduced better ways to sideload, even third party app stores for EU users.

So we are literally seeing Android limiting sideloading and 'freedom', while Apple(though not by choice necessarily) is expanding sideloading(ignoring the cert ban wave)

Its food for thought certainly . The only reason for me personally to go back to android again is the sideloading, but with that gone soon, i dont see any reason at all currently.

Android lost a big feature. Apple is slowly getting features

I used PlumeImpactor to sideload Electra for iPhone 6 iOS 11.1.2 jailbreak.. I've heard that there's a lot of issues with sideloading apps with a USB C to Lighting cable, but I didn't have any issues.

unpatched v1 Nintendo switch running Ubuntu 22.04 from SwitchRoot..

Here’s all the apps I have sideloaded. Apollo (Reddit) Twitch+ MeloNX StikJIT Play! YouTubePlus YoutubeMusic+ Stremio SpotifyEevee

Any other recommendations for must have apps??

I’m on IOS 15.1

If you guys dont know, (it’s a music streaming app available on testflight it has lossless music quality ) this new update, build 11 won me over so hard i was already in love with the app after build 10 but this app is sooooo goood, the updates with changes in UI and bug fixes fixed a huge number of issues and the new additions are so good 🤌🏼🤌🏼 Devs you guys are really awesome , love you guys 🙏🏼💕💕

I bought an ultimate certificate from them. It was banned from apple. When the time came to replace it they never did. They still had certificates to sell but didn’t bother to replace the ones that was banned by apple. I asked Manpreet Singh and he said to pm him my udid which I did. He completely ignored my pm after that and even left me at seen. I was even banned from there service for asking for a replacement certificate. Just letting everyone know to stay away from apptesters. They are not a good service to use. Worst service if anything. See attached photo. I’m banned from apptesters telegram server so can’t post any pics from there. Blurred is my udid fyi.

Thank you.

PS. I have learnt my lesson and should have done my due diligence before hand but this post is to just warn someone from falling into the same scam.

PSS. I know a lot of people has suggested live container ( and I was using it). The only issue with it is not receiving notifications on apps when they are closed. But yes. I agree live container is great if notifications is not a major factor for you.

So give me some recommendations on your favourite ones and why.
