Best Android Apps Which You Won't Find In Play Store

Humble Bundle
The legendary Humble Bundle recently received a few updates, meaning it's no longer available in the Play Store (maybe Google now sees it as a competitor?). For the uninitiated, Humble Bundle lets you pay whatever you want to download bundles of high-end games for your Android device (and also PCs). The money you pay gets divvied up between charity, the developers and the website. Using this app, you can manage your Android Humble Bundle games library easily, and receive updates on when the next Humble Bundle is available.

TV Portal
This app is a fantastic resource for streaming your favorite TV shows and movies online. TV Portal insists that its site policies are in line with DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) regulations. Once you've found the show you want to watch, just tap it, pick a site to stream it from, then you'll get an option to choose which video player app you want to play it on.

Kodi (formerly known as XBMC)
Originally known as Xbox Media Center (XBMC), Kodi is a media player and entertainment hub which looks more like Netflix or Hulu than the usual crowd of Android media player apps. You can access videos, music, pictures, and podcasts from your local storage or from the internet. It’s also compatible with your PC or Laptop and you can use your Android handset as a remote control.

TubeMate
This application, which many people already know, basically allows one to download videos from YouTube. The functioning of the app is simple: it locates the YouTube video, which you can view and download in various formats, even in 1080p. Once downloaded, you can find them in the video section of your gallery. Videoder is another app that has similar functionality.

CyanogenMod Installer
The CyanogenMod Installer had a brief stay in the Google Play Store (only two weeks), and has not lost popularity even while outside of the Google Play Store. It seems that the reason for the withdrawal was because the app didn’t following Google guidelines for developers because it ''encourages users to void their warranty''. This APK is actually just software that guides users to activate an "ADB", i.e. a debugging tool to install the CyanogenMod ROM. This app complements a program that transmits this data to the smartphone.

LMT Launcher
Here’s yet another APK which is very interesting, but doesn’t require root. The app offers a detachable menu, which opens into a fan shape and offers shortcuts. To open this menu, simply swipe from any edge of the screen toward the center. It is a customizable menu where you can add your preferred options.

Adobe Flash Player 11.1
Devices running Android 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 can install Flash Player despite it not officially being supported by Google. There are still many websites out there making use of flash, and if you want to view certain videos you’re going to need this.
