I have a question about the APK mirror site, how do you actually download the apks? Because I see a bunch of download buttons and all them just go to random links that don’t download anything

I’m not sure, but it sounds like maybe there is something else that has already connected to your phone before this, and so it now can’t connect a second time. You don’t need android debug bridge installed for this way to work - you can use either adb (which you can find other tutorials online for) or webadb (which this instruction is for).

Be careful with those mirror sites. I would either find the APK from the official app website directly or download the APK from the F-Droid website whenever possible.

I want the atom movie app, I tried downloading it from aurora store and I opened and I even logged in, but when it asks me for 2fa I put in the code it texted me but after that nothing happens, there is no button on the screen to movie it pass that screen so I can purchase movie tix and use the qr codes

It’s very possible that Atom is not compatible with a De-Googled device. You probably need Google Play Services.

All good not a big deal, the more I think about it, its better I don’t, it can be a time waster, I could see myself just randomly looking up movies!
I can easily just purchase tickets via my laptop then take a pic with my Kompakt of the QR code
I also sideloaded onenote, I feel like this replaces the crappy notes tool on the kompakt

is there usable option to sideload app on the device?
This option is “use anti-privacy focused browser and use 3rd party website”. None part of it sounds save or secure!
Phones are COMPUTERS. So why would a computer need other computer and remote web-server to install anything?! As such phone and user need option to install APK’s without outside devices…

The OP describes a usable option to sideload apps. The website is more user-friendly but if you’re more advanced you could use adb commands instead. Also, any phone is using a remote web-server at some point because that’s where the apps are coming from (unless of course you write and compile the code on your own device and then install it on that device).
All you really need to sideload is F-Droid and Aurora Store. After that, you’re all set and you can install pretty much whatever you need through those two apps (personally I check F-Droid first and resort to Aurora if I can’t find what I need there).

The Mudita Kompakt doesn’t have a way of sideloading apps on-device itself, no.
I recommend you wait for the next version of the Mudita Center, which has been advertised as allowing sideloading. You should be able to install that software on your computer and use it for sideloading in the future.

Thanks for the walkthrough
if you guys are not afraid of a terminal, you can extract/install apks with adb pretty easily.
extract
# list the packages
adb shell pm list packages
# get location of apps on the devices
adb shell pm path com.example.someapp
# extract location one by one
adb pull /data/app/com.example.someapp-2.apk path/to/desired/destination
Single apk install (you can add -r to replace)
adb install MyApp.apk
if the app has more than one apk, you can use:
Multiple apps
adb install-multiple base.apk [additional apk module...]
Hope it helps someone!!
