Releases · Aurora OSS / AuroraStore · GitLab

Found it more stable and the UI looks a little better, imo.

It's been a while, thanks for the heads-up!
I haven't heard of Aurora before. I'm guessing it's similar to F-Droid? Just extract and install the APK?
- It's a wrapper over Google Play not F-Droid. Much nicer interface, you can filter for things like ads/paid/GSF, you can bypass some regional blocks, you can login with Google accounts or use it anonymously etc.
  
  Its only recommended that you use a throw away Google account for paid apps on Aurora. So I've been told.
  
  I would add the exodus feature, which shows a list of trackers from an app.
- It lets you install Google Play apps without Google Play itself
- Aurora Store is a play store wrapper.
  Aurora Droid is an F-droid wrapper.
  I use Aurora droid. It is much better than just Fdroid. Search works well, updates are easy, and what is that? App pictures and icons actually load?? 😂 It generally is nicer to use than F-droid and you can add many different repositories to it including custom ones
  
  You have to leave always use data/wifi option on then icons and pictures load.
Why is this not updated in the F-Droid repo?
- Takes a few days
Hell yeah!
BTW could anyone get it working on GrapheneOS? It crashes when I start typing a search request. (I've not tried the new version yet, but older versions installed from f-droid crashed.)
- Works for me, I downloaded the new version directly from their Gitlab. v4.3.5 worked fine as well.
- You might be blocking access to a specific Google Play Store domain or IP. I use Rethink firewall and experienced this when I was blocking a lot of Google's domains. I am using Lineage OS.
  
  I don't, however my ISP can do. I'll try to connect over VPN to check, thanks!
