Rob Huntsman Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I installed it from Aptoide, made a YouTube video for anyone else wanting to pick it up. Shame this viewer doesn't have a BoM update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqW_AFIfW6U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked aptoide my phone its still there, but I'll take down video if your claims be true and it gets removed. Like I said on the other thread, this is just something I saw on reddit when you search for "Clean lumiya download." Edit: The viewer itself doesn't even have a BoM update, so I don't get why would they sell it now. When BoM avatars look messed up on it.

Clean lumiya download, that would be from the creator only and only the official way she's released it. otherwise, trusting some one to not tinker with the apk is right up there with me trying to by a cat from used car dealership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok well, I think we both can agree this remain public knowledge until we can get an opinion from a Linden or more official source. Because I can go ahead and make another video about it still being on aptoide and it wont change anything dude. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Legion Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Unless you can verify that the Aptoide download was placed there by the actual creator of the App then frankly it is Unofficial and should not be pointed to in the forum. The only Official source was the Google Play Store. It is no longer there. The application Developer has not updated their website since that time, no update has been released anywhere else. There is no need whatsoever for a Linden to weigh in on this and the "official source" already weighed in - by not releasing their work elsewhere or providing any updates. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lumiya when it *was* on google play and have used it on every device since.

It's unofficial and people should not take a risk. since it's not listed here anymore http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory then people need to be made aware that it being on aptoide is not by the authors doing, the author had it on google play, it was not free, so this is circumventing what the author of the app originally had it placed as. so telling people where to get it for free and unofficial should not even be a thing on the forums. I would be livid over it personally if it was my app. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no "doubt" here - it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arielle Popstar Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Just Fyi, the official website for Lumiya http://www.lumiyaviewer.com/ lists SlideMe as an "official" secondary source for the Lumiya app. It is unfortunately an older version (3.2). Many in the Lumiya group have updated it previously from the aptoide site without issue. The alternative is to transfer the version on one's older phone to any new android mobile device as I have done on a couple in past without issue too.

PapiG Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Thank you, read up on the information there. I have the old version I downloaded from Google Play some time back, was thinking there was an update to it since that was a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick whatever version you like they are all old from 2017 and back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resi Pfeffer Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I think i got the latest version some time ago, whats v3.4.2 And still searching for a way to extract the APK file to be able to use it on a new android phone. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Kenin Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I would not use it for two reasons..It's not being offered by the creator..also as others pointed out it could have been hacked, letting someone will steal your login details.

Have a look at xda-developers and you will learn how it's done or maybe if you ask there someone will guide you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was actually the last version made available by the creator on her official website and today it only has the banner and no content. She did a great job unfortunately in my opinion Linden Lab must have contributed to the fact that it was removed from the Goole Play Store and the official website is a shame because as they do not have and are not even close to developing an app that is at least just like Lumiya. They should have invested or even bought the project. Anyway at the time it was in the play store I bought it but unfortunately I changed my device and lost it, then I found it on a website and I will leave here the link (https://lumiyapk.loja2.com.br/) for those interested in using it it the apk of the versions of Lumiya I used them myself for a few years and had no problem. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
