Yea no i don't believe that, here the things that project mainline consists of (directly taken from android itself):

Android services, Conscrypt (Has to do with cryptography and network security), Media and Mediacodecs (stagefright rings a bell?), Permission Controller, Time zone data (actually really important for network security to have up to date certificates).

then some other tasty stuff like: DNS resolver and IPSec library (com.google.android.ipsec, com.google.android.resolv)

Very much appreciated thank you! But i would always feel a little insecure about getting a supposedly security update from a third party, that is inherently a weak link. I might try it though, if the patch level actually is up to date after installing it. Maybe it is a diehard alternative

Unless somebody can confirm, that A: aurora is going to update these in the future, or B you can update them yourself,

It's time to say hello to playstore again...
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
I understand your concerns. Apkmirror is safe and your phone won't allow you to update unless the apk is signed by Google and 100% compatible. I just used the same link to update my Pixel 4 XL and never faced issues. Btw nain components is nowhere to be found in Play Store. You can only find it through checking for updates in System Settings or download it via APK Mirror.

No categories in Aurora Store

Hello Everyone,

On a FP2 under lineageOS 17.1, I installed Aurora Store (3.2.9). There are 3 display possibilities :

Home

Update

Categories

But when I go to "Categories", there is only one message: "No blacklisted applications"?

[IMG="view of categories"]https://ibb.co/qYwPNs0[/IMG]

How to display the store applications by categories?
[Android Apps and Games] yannmrt:
Confirm, it is work well !!
[Android Apps and Games] anjarys:
Hi, new user of aurora store here. How can i get my purchases back from playstore? Am using the same login credentials.
[Android Apps and Games] lool_lauris:
I have clear the cache... even the storage. Nothing change, the display "Categories" still shows "No blacklisted applications".
[Android Apps and Games] gonzo1963:
Good evening,

In many apps, the opinions of the application are not seen, in the Play Store, if there is one.

Why?

An example, the app: "filmaffin"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmaffin.app

[solved]

Hello everyone,

I got a issue regarding the Aurora Store on my phone:

When I start the Aurora Store, first it says "Building GooglePlay API" then "It takes longer than expected" and when I tap on "continue anyway" nothing happens even if I wait for some minutes.

Here some information for my current setup:

Phone: Xiaomi Mi A1

OS: LineageOS 17.1 (tissot official)

additional:

- Aurora Store (3.2.9) installed via F-Droid

- phone rooted with Magisk

- AFWall+ installed (Aurora Store's internet connection is not restricted)

- XPrivacyLua installed (no restrictions for Aurora Store)

I already tried to clear cache and app data from Aurora Store but the problem still exists.

By the way I have the Aurora Store running on my mothers phone (same phone and OS, no root so no AFWall & no XPrivacyLua) and it works.

Does anyone have some suggestions how to solve the problem? Thank you in advance.

edit: I log in with a anonym account from Aurora.

edit: It works now. I activated "enable custom tokenizer" in Settings -> Network (found that hint somewhere in this thread). Then cleared cache and app data and did a reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] lool_lauris:
OK but what have you got in the "Categories" section ?

Have you a list of apps sorted by categories (which is that it should normally be displayed) or have you, as me, a message telling "No blacklisted apps" ?
[Android Apps and Games] rho-bot:
Can confirm, looks like a bug. I'm on 3.2.9, anonymous account, get the same message.
[Android Apps and Games] drnightshadow:
Not a bug... token timeout... log off and log in and viola all is good.

Good luck and stay safe.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:

[Android Apps and Games] nubla:
I've always had the same bug here with 3.2.9, anonymous account:
[Android Apps and Games] lool_lauris:
What do you mean ?
[Android Apps and Games] rho-bot:
Not a timeout, a bug!

Token was refreshed, cache was cleared, the usual stuff. Nothing helped.
[Android Apps and Games] drnightshadow:
IT'S NOT A BUG.. tested on 3 different devices and all is working, android 6, android 9 and LOS 17.1.

1st logout from account

2nd Clear cache, if you want

3rd log in again

4th viola happy user, all is working

[MOD edit] ... AGAIN IT'S NOT A BUG !!!!!!

You are bugging us hahaha <--- a little joke :laugh: don't go crazy or mad.

Good luck and stay safe!

P.s. I hate this covid-19 aka human crapware.
[Android Apps and Games] nubla:
Congrats, it's working for you. Over here on e-OS (based on LOS 16 / android 9), even after your steps, still the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] s8m:
Use v3.2.1 its the latest reliable version for me. I had same issues with any more recent update.
[Android Apps and Games] lool_lauris:
Okay, since you say so, it's not a bug.

Can you then explain why it displays this "No apps blacklisted" message instead of displaying the app categories?

FYI the method you give (Logout, Clear cache, Login) doesn't change the problem; or it is not precise enough.
[Android Apps and Games] gonzo1963:
Good morning,

It is happening to me with more applications.

Is it a bug?

Any solution?

Any version of Aurora that doesn't have this bug?

[Android Apps and Games] sl1me182:
It shows me the same message. I tried to do the log out, clear cache, log in and it still shows the same message. But actually I don't care about that. As long as I can update my apps everything is fine :D
[Android Apps and Games] vdbhb59:
Actually, it does not work on any phone/ROM I am using. Not also as user app. This is a weird bug, and happens on different different situations. Your answers are not good enough. Remember something, what does not happen with you does not give it a right to not happen at all.

My screen..
[Android Apps and Games] vdbhb59:
Moreover, many categories do not show up, reviews do not show up and even after installed/updated the store keeps trying to reinstall in the backend, and at times after uninstalled, it pushes the installation again.
[Android Apps and Games] temporarium:
Dear people, please remember: the objective of this project is to minimize Google. It's never going to be 100% on par with Google Play Store, simply because the developer doesn't have time to keep up and implement everything.

You choose if you want all the perfect complete functionality, or the privacy of anonymous installations. If you want the former, this app is not for you. If you choose the latter, enjoy the features that work and search for apps/read reviews via a browser.

Better yet, try to find a solution to your "personal bugs" and share something positive with the community.

[MENTION=1393901]drnightshadow[/MENTION] There is no need to start calling other users "kids". Even if meant as a joke, others might take this as some sort of provocation.

[MENTION=4356248]heinhuiz[/MENTION] There is also no need to express yourself in that way. That will only lead to more flaming and we don't accept that on XDA.

Hi, I have Installed Aurora latest version in user o99 on OnePlus 7, just like thias article says: https://www.xda-developers.com/add-any-app-oxygenos-parallel-apps-space-oneplus-phones/

To be able to install more parallel apps, and so far has worked.

But today I cannot install any app from Aurora in this 999 user, I manually download the app, it prompts for Install, I press Install, but after a few seconds

the notifications says "Install failed". I've tried clearing data, cache, trying multiple times, multiple apps, but cannot get any app to install.

Has anyone experienced this ?, any advice to try ?

LE: Now when I try to install an app from adb to user 999 I get this error "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE]"

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Rajawi04:
Me too, maybe google is starting a new war against Aurora store.
[Android Apps and Games] vdbhb59:
Mate, I know that. I even know Rahul myself. Moreover, I wrote just to stop those 2 bickering on each other, with proofs that.

I prefer my own ways of getting things, plus, now tbvh, I am bored with mobile phones. Feels like back to books, is the only way now. :angel:

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Manually place these files in /usr app folders. Then reboot. Then if need be navigate to the folder, and reinstall from there and reboot again. Should work flawlessly.

You just need to navigate to the correct parallel user folder, that is all.
[Android Apps and Games] Rajawi04:
It's working now, I can install apps
[Android Apps and Games] complicazio:
Good morning, sorry but what changes between native installation method and root installation method?
[Android Apps and Games] vdbhb59:
Root has /system access and installs as admin user on the actual folder or the original folder path. Example /system/app

Native usually is as user 0, or basic user and installs to /data/apps folder, which sits in the /data partition and not on the /system or /vendor partition.

Also, /data/apps usually are installed anything from

com.package.packageextension

Or

-do-+hash

Example: com.auroradroid.org

-do-hashcharacters like MD5/SHA2 etc

Root usually takes Name instead of packagename like say /system/app/AuroraDroid

Root foes not have limitations and can in nstall user and system apps both, unlike native, which by default cannot update system or vendor apps.
[Android Apps and Games] complicazio:
I tried to install an application with the root method and it was installed in the path /data/app.
[Android Apps and Games] vdbhb59:
If it is a user app, it will go there. Unless it is a system or vendor app, any app by default will go to /data
[Android Apps and Games] complicazio:
It's a new app it's not an update so I thought it was installed in System using the root method
[Android Apps and Games] Keule-Tm:
Not quite. Any app you update/install will go to data, regardless which mode you choose.

The difference between root and native would be this: in native mode you need to confirm the installation/update.
[Android Apps and Games] gonzo1963:
Good afternoon,

The latest version does not work, it does not go beyond the search screen for new versions.

I have cleared cache and data and nothing.

Recently aurora store stopped working, (19 hours since i've made this post) at first it there was download issues that sometimes it refused to download, then it took too long to get the API, now im logged out and "Anonymous" log-in won't work anymore.

Their website is also down.

Won't login no matter how many times i reinstalled it.

Tried with a VPN but had no luck.
[Android Apps and Games] nubla:

[Android Apps and Games] nubla:
Oh, you mean in Aurora settings, not system settings.

I have a problem. The apks available on the site auroraoss do not install. Android does not detect that it is an app installer. I don't have this problem with other apk (fdroid for example). Can anyone help me? I am on lineageos 17.1
[Android Apps and Games] Keule-Tm:
You need to enable installing apps with those stores. You can do it in the respective settings screen ( > Apps > Aurora Store > Extended ), but usually it should ask you to do that whenever you try to install an app. That is the way to go if you're on stock, unrooted, stock recovery.

If you've got root, you can alter that in Aurora's settings to install as root. Or you can opt to install Aurora Services, which (if enabled) will handle the installations in background.
[Android Apps and Games] abhi281:
I am using Redmi K30 5G running with Android 10 and MIUI 12. I install latest version 3.2.9. But I can't install any app from this store...each time it's saying App can't be installed. It just downloaded the apk file on SD card, but can't install.

Apk installation method is Native.

My device is not rooted.

I didn't change any Settings.

I have Google Services Framework installed.

How to fix the issue?

Check your app privileges, permissions, etc... basically MIUI CRAP stuff...

How do I increase the number of apps in search? When I search for "launcher" it only shows 10 apps.

Sometimes when I open the Developer apps (can't replicate it currently so I'm not sure if it's in Developer or search) the apps show up twice, or even three times.

Are these solvable issues or known bugs?

Can you add an option to make the app follow the device theme?

Other than those, the app is and works great!

[Android Apps and Games] CheepPlüm:
Because the Category section do not work for me...it shows no apps...thats why

Simple answer: No.

/system partition is read-only - and you need root or a custom recovery to temporarily mount it read-write.

[Android Apps and Games] Aqq123:
Categories work for me here (LOS 17.1, latest MicroG, no account logged in, no spoofing, no filtering, no proxy set, custom tokenizer with the default URL).

The only thing being logged is Aurora making a connection like this:

D ConnectivityService: requestNetwork for uid/pid:***/*** NetworkRequest [ TRACK_DEFAULT id=***, [ Capabilities: INTERNET&NOT_RESTRICTED&TRUSTED Uid: ***] ]
[Android Apps and Games] :
You're highly mistaken if you think this app doesn't need any maintenance. It's, of course, great piece of software, but with a few flaws.

As many people have stated before, "Categories" section doesn't work for them - nor for me (Mi Note 10, MIUI 12). Also, building Google Play API fails really often, there were days when it wouldn't work the whole day or longer.

Mostly annoying though, is the lack of search output. When searching non-specific terms (i.e "rpg", "text editor", "music player" etc.) search result list is really, really short - like 5 to 10 applications at most, when Google Play would show many more. It actually breaks the whole point of using this as a successful alternative to Google Play Store.

Every application needs some maintenance, and people worrying about project being abandoned are right. Because it needs updates.

Hi All,

I have Aurora Store (v3.2.9) installed and it seems to work okay with the native installer. But I am having a heck of a time getting it to work with the Aurora Service (v1.0.6). Aurora Service says it's enabled and the permissions set. I manually pushed the APK and the XML file per instructions (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraServices). When I set the installation method to the service, nothing installs when I select "Update All" or try to install an individual app.

I have searched through this thread and, unless I missed it, I could not find an answer to the issue I have.

I have a SM-G930V that has been rooted per the thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/root-s7-s7-edge-unroot-easy-updated-02-09-2020.4048237/

* daemon started successfully *

Transferring: 1824666/1824666 (100%)

failed to copy 'Services.apk' to '/system/priv-app/Services.apk': couldn't create file: Read-only file system

(I renamed the Services app to the "Services.apk")

Anyway i can change the system to write mode ?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I have to add myself to the list of users with broken categories section (for months now). While I agree that this isn't really necessary for the app to work, it's still noth a small thing either.

Also, I can't speak for anybody other then myself. I really appreciate the work that has been done with Aurora Store. It's just that I'm into this privacy thing since the beginning and seeing that most solutions (RIP Yalp Store) get abandoned, you get easly disheartened over time. What's even worse, the maintainers just stop without saying anything at all.

That being said, I hope that more coders will help maintain this project. That is one of the main purposes of open source projects after all.
