I'm a long-time F-Droid user, but I hadn't heard of Yalp Store that I can remember; thanks for the reference!

To be fair I don't think it has been available that long in f-droid.

My previous hack was two phones. One clean and one with Google Play. Both with f-droid as f-droid has this wonderful feature of copying one apk to another over WiFi.

Sorta like a private repo.

Yea, I didn't mention it, but I checked when it had been added; it was 2016-12-30.
