As crap i am reffering to the situation itself which is i am trying to use software that i supposed to work as is, but does not.

I don't know who is to blame, blissos probably or perhaps aurorastore, my idea was that this version of blissos might use an outdated integrated version of aurorastore and that's which it doesn't get any connection.

I tried manually installing the latest aurorastore apk but the system responded the app is already present.

There is no firewall in the VM, i can access the internet normally with my browser and the VPN works too.

Alright let me take a look at message history of this topic.
[Android Apps and Games] Privacydroid:
Still have no idea why aurorastore isn't working in blissos and what the error message is about and how to solve it. Any help?
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
Does it work through a VPN?
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Maybe better ask in some blissos forum or create a bug report for it if that is possible. I don't even know what blissos is.
[Android Apps and Games] Privacydroid:
No.

The vpn works, aurorastore does not.
[Android Apps and Games] Privacydroid:
Blend out blissos for a moment, what matters is this error:

"failed to connect to goolag.store/..."

You connect through VPN on the host and Aurora doesn't work... What version is your Aurora app? Should be 4.1.1

You may also want to search through the issues reported on their repo
[Android Apps and Games] Aqq123:
Looks like an ancient version of the app. It should be connecting to auroraoss.com. The domain name was changed a while ago.

The old domain registration has since expired (see the WHOIS):

And it resolves to 127.0.0.1 (aka localhost) currently.

So unless you're running the whole app store server locally, I don't see why it should be able to connect.

The solution is to update the app.

Also see here: https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore/-/issues/607#note_894888410
[Android Apps and Games] Privacydroid:
No i don't connect through VPN on the host
[Android Apps and Games] Privacydroid:
So it's what i tought, an outdated aurorastore version.

Well, can't update. Uninstall not working, no update option, manual install v4.1.1 fails.
[Android Apps and Games] Privacydroid:
I've been searching for software that runs android in a virtual machine for a while now but couldn't find anything (atleast nothing without the silly google spyware).

Untill a forum member here mentioned BlissOS, it free of google and actually working, runnin android 9 so far i remember. But ofcourse without being able to download apps it's entirely useless.

So does anyone know other alternatives to run android in a virtual machine, without google ofc.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
Are you rooted in that BlissOS? Why is the uninstall failing?

As to your question, no idea about any Android emulators. Why don't you install a Gapps-free/microG OS on a real Android device? That's what many of us do. No Google.
[Android Apps and Games] Privacydroid:
My physical phone is already running lineage.

No chance im ever touching microG, it's still google.

Why the uninstall fails i can tell you as much as the screenshot above.

Not rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
Well, then, root it and force the uninstall. Or connect over ADB to do it. Obviously something is wrong with that vbox.
[Android Apps and Games] Privacydroid:
I don't know how to root in virtualbox?
[Android Apps and Games] randomt4sk:
Hi, is anyone else experiencing certificate issues?

With rooted custom ROM I'm not able to start a session in Aurora Store because of some SSL certificate issue when connecting from my home network.

However when using mobile data rather than WiFi its working.

I'm also not able to access auroraoss.com via browser from my home network.

Any idea in this?
[Android Apps and Games] Team Hairball:
Does anyone know how to use the alternative installers? The default session installer works ok AFAIK but I've had issues with mine since I still had some apps installed through Google Play when I first got into using Aurora. I've since tried re-installing all my apps through Aurora but I still would sort of like to try the Aurora Service since the session installer doesn't run in the background IIRC and another problem is auto updates. Maybe auto updates are still under development for the Aurora Store but it would at least be nice to have background downloads work for once. :/

Been trying to figure out from the GitLab page how to install the Aurora Service. Does my device need to be rooted?
[Android Apps and Games] drnightshadow:
Yes, you need root for service.. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] android86.ad:
My Aurora store app stopped updating my apps a few days ago. I was happy to see an update so I updated threw Fdroid. Unfortunately, I still can not update apps, and if I click on an app the Aurora store forces closed.

In the previous version, I could click on apps and navigate the app without it forcing closed. Not anymore. It would just get stuck with a message "searching for metadata".

Please help me get this store working. I'm on lineageOS microG version. Android 13.
[Android Apps and Games] asripath:
Was force closing on open on upgrade...

Upgraded to Nightly... issue solved

My stable 4.1.1 works as expected, also on microG. Try clearing data and logging in again 🤔

Thanks a million!! 👍
[Android Apps and Games] androidjel:
Today after 14 months via fdroid the latest official build came out. Aurorastore 4.2 for all your guys. It has beter improvements for android 13.
[Android Apps and Games] kwallet:
fyi:

only works if you downloaded the previous stable version from fdroid. sideloading the apk breaks the update, need to reinstall previous version from F then do the upgrade.

also is there any news about aurora services and warden update? is there any "non-dead" official thread about OSS?

clearly the dev didnt abandon the project and here you can see that services was modified 5 days ago.
[Android Apps and Games] rho-bot:
Thanks for keeping this project alive. Meanwhile even v4.2.1 is available :)

Any plans to rollout this new release via inbuild updater function?

As this file is still outdated: https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore/-/blob/master/updates.json

Update to version 4.2

Starts but no updates possible. Crashes.

[Android Apps and Games] LFact:
Has anyone tried 4.2.0 with Android 12 or older version? I updated it via F-Droid(I don't want to use my Google account on Lenovo legion y700), only to find out it doesn't work properly. 'Updates' tab seemed like loading endlessly, the app itself crashed when I tapped any of 'suggested' apps. I tried downgrading, but it failed, ended up to uninstall it and reinstall older version.
[Android Apps and Games] xdabushrang3r:
Same here. Updates page loading endlessly.

[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Yindo:
I still tested it on Samung S5 Duos. LineageOS 11. The same.
[Android Apps and Games] androidjel:
Im not the developer haha😅.

I just pointed it out to you all.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Yindo:
Thanks, I must have translated it wrong.

Wait for 4.2.1. it fixes the startup crashes
[Android Apps and Games] android86.ad:
The update was forcing closed. I was told that the nightly version fixes this, but haven't attempted it yet. 👍
[Android Apps and Games] Oi69qEZ:

[Android Apps and Games] theimpulson:
I will also monitor this thread from now on, so feel free to mention me when required. Regarding Aurora Services's update, I will look into it once I am happy with Aurora Store not being buggy and outdated. It might take a while, so no ETAs.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpulson:
Apologies for the issues. It was caused due to optimizations explicitly done in the release/nightly build. All the crashes should be fixed in 4.2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpulson:
Not ATM, as uploading releases on GitLab requires access to Rahul's private keys, using which the app has been signed since the start, and I don't have that. F-droid isn't dependent upon it, so updates are there. I am looking into this, though if I can do something about it.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Yindo:
Thank you very much for the work.👏
[Android Apps and Games] kwallet:
wait, what? are you the dev of these OSS apps?
[Android Apps and Games] theimpulson:
I am the one maintaining it now if that's what you mean. This is my GitLab.
[Android Apps and Games] kwallet:
ahh i see, well kudos for you for maintaining it. :)

ive tried the 4.2.1 on all of my devices and didnt encounter any issues.

as for the other apps, service works well, warden aswell but the latter could use an update of the newest trackers and loggers.
[Android Apps and Games] KemikalElite:
Hi,

Thanks for updating the app.

I'm having an issue where nothing appears in the search results when I search for an app.

Normally if this happens I would close the search and open it again and it would work.

Now that doesn't seem to help and I've already tried both 4.1.1 and 4.2.1 from F-Droid as well as clearing data.

I don't have filters selected and the apps and updates tabs load normally.

This is on Android 13.

MOD EDIT: IMAGE RESIZED
[Android Apps and Games] Phil Mcrakin:
I have the exact same issues on A11, version 4.2.1 from fdroid
[Android Apps and Games] qwertyuiop1289:
Same issue, LineageOS 19.1 and 20.0
[Android Apps and Games] theimpulson:
This issue is happening because many people use anonymous accounts, leading to rate-limiting from Google's server. You can find more info here.

Quoting one of my comments from that issue:

> Nope, accounts are being rate-limited if I am right. There is only a limited number of them, and considering the number of people using them might be in thousands daily, it's expected. For now, using a personally created dummy account might help those having issues, as that's access would be limited to just the creator.
[Android Apps and Games] mdncb:
I'm using version 4.3.1(43) on lineage OS 19 and I don't get any search results at all anymore. It worked fine for a day then nothing. Tried clearing cache, tried removing and reinstalling completely, nothing works. And I can't get my browser to open links to play store in aurora either. What's the trick?
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Major trick is reading at least the last few replies before you post. It's not like you're the first one to discover something is wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] mdncb:
Cool, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
@theimpulson, I just received a notification warning me that the Aurora Store was still active after 21 hours. Normally I always close apps by swiping them away from Recents. Could this be the reason for the problems with the Google server, that the app remains actively contacting the Play store?
[Android Apps and Games] kwallet:
ive also recieved a notification ive never seen before that cpu usage is high or something, need to restart. didnt check tho if it was aurora store or not but its an interesting coincident.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpulson:
Ah, nope, this is a service issue. Currently, the services need a lot of change to adapt to new Android APIs. I am planning to do those in 4.4.x or something. Hopefully, warnings will be gone after that.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Yindo:
That's interesting, because on my Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS Android 13 without root the search works. With anonymous login.

On my Samsung Tab 6 Lite Lineage 19, with root, the search does not work.

Also with a FairPhone 3, lineage 19, root, it does not work.

So I thought it might be related to root.
[Android Apps and Games] theimpulson:
Check the emails they are using. They must be different or a coincidence.
[Android Apps and Games] Mr.Yindo:
Oops, I think you're right. It is probably a coincidence.

Yesterday it still worked. I tested it again directly and indeed it no longer works with the Pixel 6 without root.
[Android Apps and Games] dope77:
First of all I'd like to thank you for maintaining and keeping this project alive.

I have this small issue and I'm not sure if there's a fix for it, i usually login to my Google account just to check for updates for the beta apps, update them then log out. The problem is, when logging in anonymously, Aurora store would display updates for the beta apps, but they're actually downgraded versions (aka stable ones). Can this be fixed somehow?

For example i updated an app that I'm enrolled in its beta program to version 6.8.0 then logged out of my Google then logged in anonymously, Aurora now show me that there's an update for this app with version 6.7.3 (6.8.0=>6.7.3)
[Android Apps and Games] theimpulson:
I will try to take a look at the issue. Thanks for pointing it out.
[Android Apps and Games] dope77:
Hey again!

Not all beta apps are affected by this, some stable app releases are given a build number higher than that of a beta release and that's why this conflict exists.

Take Netflix as an example, I'm using beta release. In the first picture I'm logged out of my Google account and using anonymous account. Aurora shows an update 8.68=>8.67.

While in the second screenshot, I'm logged in to my Google account, now Aurora store shows a different update 8.68=>8.69

You can also check NordVPN, beta release 6.8.0 have build number 1020 while stable release 6.7.3 have build number 1021, so aurora store would also downgrade the app.

Again thank you for maintaining this project and i hope the info i provided is of use
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
In the first screenshot, an update is presented from 50412 to 50414. The 8.67.1 build is released after the 8.68.0 beta, so Aurora considers it an update.

The update to 50417 in the second screenshot is indeed more recent than the 50414 in the previous, which is probably due to the fact that Google rolls out new update to their servers in a phased manner, to avoid congestion in the network. The first time you were connected to a server that didn't have that newer version yet. It happens to me sometimes, that I decide to skip an update for an app for some reason, and next time I don't even see that update because then I'm connected to a server that does not have that particular update yet.
[Android Apps and Games] dope77:
It's not related to the way Google servers roll the updates, update been out for over a week and i haven't updated it yet. Simply the first image was from an anonymous account (which doesn't show beta updates) and the other is from account enrolled in the beta program (that's why you seen an update in the 2nd image, because the account is enrolled in beta program, and there's a newer beta version) with 1 minute difference between the first and second screenshots.

I said what i said because aurora store doesn't show beta apps when using anonymous accounts (again that's why no newer version is shown in the first image, anonymous accounts don't show beta releases)

Tl;dr, go to aurora and manually download Netflix, enter build number 50412, once it's done installing aurora will show there's an update, when in fact it's a downgrade as shown in first image.
[Android Apps and Games] heinhuiz:
Okay I understand, but to receive beta versions you need to have joined the beta program with your Google account, which - obviously - anonymous accounts have not.

As you found out, the only way to download a beta version with an anonymous account is by entering the build number, which is an unintended side effect of the Google build numbering system.
[Samsung Gear S3] alsace72:
Hi all

I replaced my Samsung S6 Edge with a new S8 and used the 'connect to new phone' option on my Gear S3. Everything went well except for one thing

When connecting to the new phone I selected a recent backup (taken a few hours previously), which seemed to go through OK (watch faces, settings etc were bought across) but now I am unable to see any of my historical Samsung Health data on my watch (steps, workouts, HR etc). There is no data in 'view each date', only today's data.

However if I open the Samsung Health app on my new S8 i can view all historical data

Auto sync is enabled in Samsung Health, and I have tried disconnecting / reconnecting as well as "connect to new phone" again.. no luck

How can I sync this historical data back to my Gear S3 so i can view it?

Thanks

custom links and landings

Hello!

Due to multiple demands from our partners we released a separate section with landing pages. Now all you have to do is simply launch the traffic, landings will handle the rest! Currently we have 50 landings in public and over 50 landings in a row to be integrated, and we will do our best to have at least 3-5 of them integrated daily. Please note that all landings are multilingual.

Also, if you have a demand for some specific landings, or if you have any landings that you world like to be integrated with us, please feel free to contact us.

Please note, that our landings also have a {post} variable, which is extremely useful for any torrent/download/mp3 traffic, which might requite to pass a user a specific variable file name (e.g. if a user looks for "witcher-the-movie.torrent" file, he will be redirected to a torrent download landing page with "witcher-the-movie.torrent.apk" file name). Such variable will increase clicks-to-downloads conversion rate dramatically.

We are ready to offer our partners CPI payouts! (For verified partners only). You can get up to 10 cents for US install instantly! However, please keep in mind that revshare will eventually get you much more. :)

If you have any questions, please contact us support@madmobile.biz. We will be happy to assist you with the integration or answer any of your questions.

retention

Hello!

Few words about retention:

This information will be useful for our traffic brokerage partners, who are able to target the traffic by manufacturers. Let’s talk about the retention – the ability of our service to generate ads on various types of devices.To put it simple, there are two types of retention – technical and human based. While we are taking care of the latter, it’s up to our partners to improve the technical retention.

Doing this is simple – just target the right manufacturers.

The best performing vendors are the ones that are mostly present in Tier 1 and Tier 2 countries and less – in Tier 3 countries.

The best one is, of course, Samsung.

Our service will keep running for months - at least approximately 25-30% of initial installs.

The same good retention can be observed on Motorola, Asus, LG, Nokia, Lenovo, Sony, Alcatel, HTC, Asus and others international vendors.

The bad retention is typical for Chinese vendors, largest of which are Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo.

Please avoid targeting these ones, because it would be just a waste of money and, while targeting good-performing vendors, you would increase your ROI dramatically. :)
[Mobile Ad Networks] mmobile1:
traffback

We are glad to announce, that we have added a traffback URL to all of our landings and custom links.

With its' help you are able to boost your monetization heavily and drive the significant part of your traffic (normally, it is 10%-40% of the total number of clicks on your landing page) anywhere you want - for example, to push subscription landings.

Technically, this traffback is a popunder, which pops up when a user hits "download" button or any other part of the LP. This popunder is shown only when a user closes the LP. That means, that the traffback URL doesn't affect the conversion rate in any way. Also, our tests showed, that the traffback converts very good. :)

Properly speaking, this is not a traffback remnant low quality traffic, but more like a proper HQ additional popunder traffic.
[Mobile Ad Networks] mmobile1:
our rates

Dear partners, you keep asking us, how much can you get for this or that number of installs for a specific geo.

If you already have an account with us, you can find the answer in the “Rates” section. Specifically, you can see system average CPM rates for the last 7 days, as well as estimated CPI rates, which you can keep in mind while buying the traffic from ad networks. For example, such data is super useful if you work with Smart CPM. You can set those rates per each geo and ad network will do the campaign optimization by itself.

Also, please keep in mind, that those CPI rates are calculated for a one month pay-off period, considering standard traffic structure and behavioral pattern. In other words, if you work on a revshare, you should get those rates within the first month of the install, but, eventually, for the whole life cycle of the install, you will get twice more revenue.

Currently our rates are following:
