>> Are there plans for a Setting for users to choose to where files are downloaded?

Thank You for this app. I use it on devices both with and without Google Play so I can keep my purchased apps up to date while having Google stuff disabled.

Currently I have to go to: ROOT » DATA » DATA » COM.AURORA.STORE.NIGHTLY » FILES » DOWNLOADS » Tap on the downloaded/installed app directory » Then another directory, For Every Single App installed/updated.

After moving the apks, I then have to delete all those directories, otherwise there's a bunch of empty, useless directories cluttering up things.

One of the great things about versions up to 3.2.9 was quick/easy access to the downloaded apks (for me it's "Download") so I could back them up. Currently, people without access to Root > Data > Data > THE AURORA App directory don't even have access to their downloaded apks, just the way Google likes it.

Oh, btw, v4.0.1 (AuroraStore-nightly-signed-202102210003) working well (considering its developement stage) with my Google login on my rooted Samsung Tab S6 with stock Android 9!

Thanks again

EDIT:

Additional arguments for retaining v3.2.9 ability to select download location:

Version 3.2.9 downloaded split-apk components with their respective names for all items (main apk, and splits), but version 4.0.1 "assigns" (if that's the right word) a generic name to all the split components; the result being that each and every split app, and each of its versions, require a seperate folder to keep things straight.

Also, after copying apks to my backup location, have to navigate back to Aurora directory to do cleanup.

Another reason for wanting apks to go to "Download" is for those apps I want to install later.
[Android Apps and Games] YamiYukiSenpai:
Any plans on adding the beta on F-Droid and the release page on GitLab?

Also, is it just me or does it detect applications installed from F-Droid/AuroraDroid as well?
[Android Apps and Games] Godzilha:
It would be indeed nice to have the v4 builds on GitLab.

Yes it seems to detect F-Droid apps too
[Android Apps and Games] YamiYukiSenpai:
I found the toggle that SHOULD filter F-Droid apps out, but it doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] Master One:
Can someone please explain the difference in "Root" vs "Aurora Services" installation method?

I have tried several different combinations of Aurora Services / AuroraDroid / AuroraStore and could not make AuroraDroid / AuroraStore work with Aurora Services, which is why I now have the latest nightlies of AuroraDroid & AuroraStore with the "Root" installation method in use.

P.S. I was trying Aurora Services from version 1.0.5 up to 1.0.8 using the Magisk module on Android 11 (ArrowOS 11), if that matters. Aurora Services seemed to be installed and working without issues, but AuroraDroid either kept telling "Aurora Services unavailable" or indicated that everything is OK, and neither AuroraDroid nor AuroraStore were able to install any software (it just kept telling "Installing" and nothing else happened).
[Android Apps and Games] asripath:
AuroraServices even the new version currently don't seem to work even with AuroraStore ver 4.

Per Dev

1. If you have root use root.

2. If you don't want to give Aurora Store root access user services as magisk module.

3. If no root, but TWRP is available flash unity zip.

4. If no root no TWRP, use session

Currently I use Session Installer with individual prompt for installation as other options don't work for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Hb20032003:
No, beta builds will not be pushed to F-Droid. And for the second part, yes it is a known issue. You can check the bug fixes/features here and they should appear in the next nightly build.

The current version of Aurora Droid is not working with the new version of Aurora Services as the service has been rewritten in Kotlin, so Aurora Droid needs to be made compatible with the change. It will follow suite after the dev is finished working on Aurora Store.

[Android Apps and Games] fobtob387:
Login into your Google account in Aurora.
[Android Apps and Games] klemi71:
Can you please add a link to nightlies download site in about app? It would it make much easier keeping app up to date.
[Android Apps and Games] KostasGangstar:
I tried the latest nightly which is my first 4 version and I can't find where the downloaded apks are, they used to go to the aurora folder in my internal storage in v3 :( I only use this app to backup split apks so this is sad please tell me they are not stored in some root folder because I don't have root
[Android Apps and Games] Nokono:
They are stored in some root folder, yes

/data/data/com.aurora.store4/files/Downloads
[Android Apps and Games] KostasGangstar:
Damn why was it changed? Any way to make it download to the folder I want? I don't see any setting
[Android Apps and Games] Master One:
Have you enabled "Root" installation method? Because once that one is enabled, it does not download to a user configurable folder anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] KostasGangstar:
This needs Root. Anyway I found an option in the downloads section called use external storage which downloaded the split apks to my internal storage in a folder called aurora like before but now it's also making a folder for each app which is very convenient! (It would place all split apks in one folder before)

I would suggest changing the name of this option because it sounds like it's saving the apks in a external storage like sd slot when in reality its saving them in the internal storage.

I like version 4 very much btw, looks like a huge improvement over 3, good job devs!
[Android Apps and Games] TiTiB:
Saw @KostasGangstar post so d/l'd AuroraStore-nightly-signed-202103060000.

Still works well (using my Google account), *and* it now filters out F-Droid apps! Also, files can now be d/l'd to non-root folder.

Thanks again devs!
[Android Apps and Games] KostasGangstar:
Also I want to report that paid apps I own show the price when opening their page instead of install but if you click on the price it will begin installing them. This happened in the v4 nightly from 5 March.
[Android Apps and Games] Hb20032003:
A lot of bugs have been fixed and new features added since the last beta, which you can find here. So users are requested to try the latest nightly build before reporting bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] Hb20032003:
But i am not fully sure. Please try and report.

Help translate Aurora Store v4 to your language!
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
I do have problems with 3.2.9. If I press update or install it seems it tries to start download but obviously fail. After a while it just returns back with no result.
[Android Apps and Games] Nokono:
Logout - login
[Android Apps and Games] Master One:
Same here, looks like session expiry without error message. Typically can be solved by logging out of the (anonymous) account and back in. If then still not working, it may be something like "too many requests" on the Google end, in that case waiting a little and then trying again has always solved it.

Can't wait for v4 to finally hit F-Droid, as I'm sticking to v3.2.9 for not having to deal with manually updating nightlies.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
I have here 2 device with 3.2.9 - one working, other not.

So it is not that it is generally not working / service down ...

Login/logout/stop/clean memory - nothing helps. I can browse in store but it is "waiting for download".

The only difference I know - one is LOS17 the other 18, and one is installed together with auroraservices via NanoDroid. Some missing permissions there?
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
Of course I disabled FW to exclude that reason.

As of what I can see "Network stack" seems to have enabled at least - for whatever reason.
[Android Apps and Games] starbright_:
I installed a nightly built as I couldn't download anything by 3.2.9. (Android 11)

For my pleasure it works! Great job!
[Android Apps and Games] Hb20032003:
Like I said before please use nightly builds as a lot has changed since the beta build and

v3 is deprecated

now!​
[Android Apps and Games] Hb20032003:
Enable User External storage from Downloads settings. The apks will be stored in Aurora folder in Internal storage.

[Android Apps and Games] Toothless_NEO:
I think it would be a good idea for them to add an Android TV Leanback UI to make it function better on android TV Devices, especially Fire TVs (The thing that most Aurora Users use due to its lack of Gapps compatibility).

Edit: There's an issue for it in the Aurora Gitlab, here
[Android Apps and Games] :
If v3 is deprecated, how come v4 isn't stable?
[Android Apps and Games] Master One:
Because the dev team says so?

There obviously is a large gap between v3 and v4, and if the devs decide to go with nightlies for the time being, so be it. Once considered stable, I'm sure it will be pushed to the F-Droid repo. Same goes for AuroraDroid.
[Android Apps and Games] Hb20032003:
Because play store api has changed and all features from v3 have not been ported over to v4 for now.

Hi everyone.

Just signed up here, as I have an issue with Aurora Store 4.0.2.

I'm currently using v4.0.1 alongside Aurora Store 3.2.9. I'm trying to update to v4.0.2 but for some reason it won't install.

I've got everything set up for installing unknown apps, but for some reason v4.0.2 will not install with installer giving an "Installation Failed" error.

I have even uninstalled v4.0.1 and tried to install v4.0.2 but still get the same error.

I have tried the download from this site and from GitLab, but to no avail.

In case it helps my device is a FXTec Pro1 running Android 9 fully updated and I am running Blokada 5 (I did disable this and try the update too.)

Any help would be muchly appreciated, thanks.

@Hb20032003

I'm still not sure about the benefit of using Aurora Services for AuroraDroid and AuroraStore and which installation method to choose (Session, Root or Aurora Services).

If I have to trust Aurora Services as privileged app, what's the difference of just giving root access to AuroraDroid and AuroraStore?

So I'm currently using the Root installation method, but I really would like to know.
[Android Apps and Games] Hb20032003:
There are 3 ways of having seamless install with Store and Droid:

1) Give root permission to both apps.

2) Make both of them system apps.

3) Use Aurora Services.

Use 1 if you use Magisk. Use 2 if you have access to /system through recovery but don't have/use root on your device. Use 3 if you don't trust Droid and Store as privileged apps (since they have internet access whereas Aurora Services does not). Aurora Services was to be deprecated from v4 but ROMs like Calyx os ship with Aurora Services and so it is still being continued.
[Android Apps and Games] TheSecondOne:
Hello

Spoof Device options are not like the old version. Sometimes I was using a device with Api19. Now this option is not available. Can future versions come again? I have reverted to the old version for now.
[Android Apps and Games] Master One:
Of course that makes perfect sense and is something I didn't think about!

So from a security point of view using Aurora Services is indeed the better option then.

I'm going to re-install Aurora Services now that the issue with Aurora Droid has been resolved.

Please don't deprecate Aurora Services, it would be a pity to miss out any any security improvements!
[Android Apps and Games] Hb20032003:
It will be added back soon.

You can flash the unity zip from twrp. It does not require magisk.

At first I was worried about the changes; I only use xda, so was not privy to any discussion elsewhere, like Telegram. Specifically, "would I be able to just download, and not install"), but that, and a few other concerns are now gone.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the future brings, and am especially anticipating the ability to filter app for gsf, paid, etc.
