"Aurora Store - A Google Playstore Client"
"Aurora Store is an alternate to Google's Play Store, with an elegant design, using Aurora you can download apps, update existing apps, search for apps, get details about in-app trackers, spoof your location and much more. "
What other sources do you think that it accesses?
I would love to use your app but I don't have a google account. I'm downloading your app through Aurora store, it's a Google play alternative which doesn't need a Google account to install apps from the play store.
Is it possible to have a way to store the data locally? I don't really need syncing between multiple devices because I just have one android smartphone.
Thank you.
Als je geen play store hebt omdat je je telefoon ontgoogled hebt kan je vaak ook de aurora store client gebruiken om dingen van de play store te downloaden.
May I suggest?
Disable & Block Google Store !!
Use Aurora Store - https://auroraoss.com/download/#aurora-store
Regain your Privacy & Security
You can check out what it does here. Instead of the Aurora Store showing Google the IP of the server, it shows the IP address you are connecting from.
You can decide if that is detrimental to your privacy or not, but because it is an anonymous account its not likely to do anything in terms of you personally.
Its why I've started using the Aurora Store to deal with Google play, even though I'm on an unroofed and stock Pixel 4a. I started using them originally when Yalp died back in the day, and really find it performant and nice to use.
You can't purchase apps through Aurora store, it isn't a new platform just using google servers to install apps anonymously. If you have purchased apps from play store (or playstore website) no need to repurchase (actually you can't) just login with the google account on Aurora store and install. FAQ from Aurora OSS will clear all your doubt.
You can also use Aurora Store (google play store front-end) app from auroraoss.com - which allows you to spoof location, phone model, etc and basically download any app. Like on some devices apps like Netflix won't show up in Google Play as they are "incompatible" but will always show up in Aurora Store.
You can also use Aurora Store with a Japanese VPN (a free one is fine), then activate region spoofing. Or make a Japanese Google account to get updates straight from the play store.

You could also use Aurora Store frontend if Play Store doesn't work. https://auroraoss.com/
Try aurora store?

Also check if you have the install apps permission for your browser or file manager.
For F-Droid, try Droid-ify.
I managed to get it working by simply downloading it through aurora store, the game does not crash, but it does not accept any input from the controller, shield remote app or a mouse. They basically disabled any kind of input other than touch for the menus, so the game is unplayable on Shield atm...
You can use Aurora Store instead of the official Play Store. It's an opensource privacy respecting playstore client that allows you to install apps on the playstore.

Don't know which version you're using but a while back version 3.something stopped working for me. The newer version worked better, though I did log that one in using an account that could be banned without consequence.
Sa Aurora Storeomm mozes anonimno na Play Store bez samog Play Storea.
> However, you may want to be careful as Google retains full rights to block any account under their Google Play Terms of Service §4 (opens new window), because using Aurora Store clearly violates their terms of services. Being banned means that the very Google account you used to sign in with will be blocked forever.
It's the difference between a one-time login and installing a Google service that will run in the background at all times. "Aurora Store does its best to send the least amount of information possible to Google." From the Aurora FAQs: https://auroraoss.com/faq/#general
Install https://auroraoss.com/ via APK on your Chromebook. It's the Play Store with a different frontend. With Aurora you can spoof your Chromebook as another device. I'm using it as a Pixel 5, so a lot of apps and games that doesn't appear on the "default" Play Store shows up on Aurora and you can install everything you want.
Ha oui. Alors tu as deux solutions, tu peux installer l’appli dans le profile principale et utiliser shelter pour la déplacer dans la sandbox. C’est pas idéal, si tu la lances par accident elle aura tout le temps d’envoyer tes données de ton profile principale et il faudra recommencer pour les mises à jours.
L’autre solution c’est d’installer un market dans la sandbox et d’installer les applis directement dedans. Perso j’utilise LineageOS avec microg, je n’ai pas le Play Store donc j’utilise AuroraStore, une appli libre qui remplace le Play Store, ce n’est pas un autre market, juste un autre moyen d’accéder aux applis du Play Store. Donc j’ai deux AuroraStore, un dans et un hors de la sandbox (j’ai mis un thème différent à chacun pour éviter les erreurs), avec lesquels je peux facilement installer les applis des deux profiles et les mettre jours.
You can just download apps directly from the playstore in Anbox using the open source playstore frontend Aurora, the same as people do with un-googled Android phones.
I tried googling ALI_RTC_Logs and it seems related to aliyun (Alibaba Cloud something)
Download 'App Warden' from https://auroraoss.com/download/#aurora-store and run a scan to identify if there's any app with aliyun tracker or ads or whatever.
I also assume you have tried restarting your phone ? If not please try that and then reset your system settings only. Do not reset the entire device but just the system settings, see if it helps.
Also try installing Kaspersky Android and run a full scan. If no threats are found delete the app, antivirus apps are quite the battery killer. I hope your issues are fixed.
According to their faq aurora store just installs app and it's not providing google play services APIs. So I assume with advertising ID app call will just fail and will doesn't personalize ads. With license stuff and other APIs it would fail also and depending on app doesn't let you use it or crash (or maybe something else)
Based on my A5 Pro CC, go to Settings -> Apps and permissions management -> Tap manage apps -> Special app access -> Install unkown apps and enable unknown sources.
Then, download the version here: https://auroraoss.com/ and install the APK. Or sideload it using the USB cable from your PC and install it from memory.
Most apps work but not all, especially those that require Google Play Services are annoying. Sometimes you only get an error and it'll still work, other times it won't do anything at all.
İstersen cihazına Aurora Store'u indir (https://auroraoss.com/download/#aurora-store), genellikle ungoogled cihazlarda sıklıkla kullanılan açık kaynak Play Store alternatifi. Büyük ihtimalle onda bölge limitlemesi yoktur.
Eğer güvenebiliyorsan direk APK paylaşan siteleri de tercih edebilirsin tabii.
I would suggest using a Safe browser to login into your bank account. Never use apps.
For example ? Tenta Browser, Kiwi Browser, Vivaldi Browser, Brave Browser, """ Bromite """"
OR use !!
AppWarden v1.0.3 (3) - https://auroraoss.com/download/AppWarden/
I don't know what the solution here is for Apple devices (other than people denouncing them on the grounds of their wall-garden nature and censorship; but this may not happen), but at least for Android one is not stuck with Google Play Store as they can always switch to F-droid with customizable app repositories to get these otherwise banned apps.
If you have a note 10, flash LineageOS https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/d2s
Then install the aurora store https://auroraoss.com/
Boom you saved yourself $500 and have a "freedom" phone on much better hardware, because FreedomOS is just a renamed LineageOS and the patristore is just aurora renamed, this guy literally invented nothing but a scam
Aurora has Aurora Services which you can sideload. With that you don't have to confirm each installation. You can use it for both Aurora Droid and Aurora Store.
If you just want to install some apps you cab get f-droid and aurora store.
F-droid apps are open sources and trusted in terms of privacy.
Aurora store is basically google play store without microg or google play services.
Try F-Droid or Aurora stores, or get the Fire Toolbox to install Google
If you want to install Apps without Google Services but via Official sources like Google Play with Best Privacy and Security, Then check out Aurora Store it is a FOSS Playstore Client.
You can download Aurora Droid client from here, install it and then on the setup process it will guide you through, if for some reason doesn't show you an activity to select repos, open the right menu on the main screen (hamburguer menu, top right) there is Repositories, click on it, Repository list, check the ones you want (Bitwarden may be on the top, highly recommend IzzyOnDroid).
Download Fitbit apk through open-source Aurora Store, it doesn't check for any stupid stuff like region or other google-related bs. Log into the app using anynymous account and you're good to go. https://auroraoss.com/AuroraStore/Stable/AuroraStore_3.2.9.apk
Yup, Aurora Store even look the same. You can install it from there website (https://auroraoss.com/downloads.php) and see by yourself. Youtube doesnt work without Google services but there is New Pipe (Front-End Youtube Client) that works without Google services but u can all the features than Youtube but for me its good enough (u can install it from the Play Store and Aurora Store or even F-Droid(Opens source software-only Store))
Aurora Store anonymous login works with fake accounts made by the community, it needs to connect a server for this, the main domain for the tokenizer is https://auroraoss.com/ which is down for now (I don't know why, it will back soon I guess). So you need another server for getting fake accounts, auroraoss.in is a "mirror" for this purpose.
If you're trying to download an specific app, you could just find the apk from apkmirror.com or something similiar, just make sure to use safe sites.
There's also an Play Store client called Aurora Store. It allows you to spoof device location and specs.
I like Aurora Store because it's a free open source software app that will allow to install absolutely anything else for Android that you'd like.
Aurora Store app
Well, I ran https://auroraoss.com/downloads.php app Warden to check the app for trackers and loggers, and there are none.
I've personally installed it as the risk of privacy leaks is low. Additionally, the app cannot be used by law enforcement.

There's probably other guides out there but I mostly just figured it out myself. This was months ago so there's probably better methods around. If you're familiar with sideloading already, this shouldn't be that hard, but if not then I'd recommend looking up tutorials about SideQuest.
To get the store set up, first I sideloaded the Aurora store. I believe you can get that here. The Google Play store won't work because it requires Google services to be installed which isn't exactly doable on a Quest. There's many unofficial stores out there that work, I just kept Aurora because it worked fine for me. The only issue with it, at least the version I've got, doesn't quite let you install stuff. If you try to install something through Aurora, the package manager popup has the "install" button cut off so it won't actually let you install. To mitigate this, I downloaded a file manager app. Specifically I use Total Commander but others should work too, you can probably find an apk download somewhere if you search for it. Then I open that up, navigate to the Aurora folder where the apks are, and install it through there which works. Similarly, you can also just download apk files through the Quest's built in browser if you find a website with them, and use a file manager to install them by navigating to the downloads folder.
I think I initially followed a tutorial by Tyco Tech (I don't remember which video it was) but tweaked some things along the way. You can probably find some of his videos useful if you need more.
Had this error too. Here's a few tips:
Instead of using Aptoide or APK Mirror, give the Aurora Store a try. It downloads the apk and game data directly from the Play Store servers, so it's more trustworthy than the aforementioned services.
If your device is rooted, use Magisk Hide to spoof it.
Most customroms that does not include GApps is fine. Some are more bloated than others(Im looking at you HavocOS). LineageOS is fine, aswell as OmniRom. If youre really serious, buy a pixel and install grapheneOS.
Preferably you should only use apps from [fdroid](f-droid.org) which is entierly made up of FOSS apps, or use aurora droid, which has the same apps, just with more repos added by default (same repos can be added to fdroid aswell). For apps from playstore, use aurora store. If apps require google services, use microG (which in term require signature spoofing (LineageOS does not support this nativly, but for official builds, you can use lineage4microG. Omni has support for this out of the box.)
Some banking apps may work without GSF, some might not. Some might work with microG, some might not. Use webversion if possible. My banking app works perfectly without GSF.
Tor sometimes has issues with endless captchas, this is usuall some places, but has gotten significantly better over the years.
Good luck :)
its just a random MXQ PRO box that I got. It only got quad core arm processor on it, 1gig ram and puny little graphics (cant remember), but its enough for diving.
what they sent me is a old v88 rockchip rk3229 based box. although the stock firmware came with it sucks since the google playstore detects the box unsupported with devil twins, my work around is reflash the firmware with leelbox firmware found of freaktab forums and after that I was able to install the game right to the google play store.
one the second mxq box, hardware info says unknown, i dont have a supported alternative firmware but still based on rk3229 chipset. stock google play store still wont install the game but was able to install it using Aurora Store so no problems there. if you want to update the game, use Aurora store again and it will download a new apk and reinstall it (settings and login still intact).
I both run it 24/7 but sometimes, the app tend to close out on its own for some unknown reason. it also happens with my friend as well but using his nvidia shield, the box didnt crash whatsoever since the uptime is like a few months uptime not less than a day. So I guess this is a normal occurance on the game so make sure to check your dives.
after a year of use of it, both box have failed power supply but the box still works, so if you have a Type A to Type A USB cable, you can use that to power on the box. For power source, I just a standard USB charger (5v 1amp) to power up the box.
been using the box for 3 years I think..... impressed with the durability of the product except for the bundled power supply.
Thanks this worked for me!
Playstore said my device was incompatible. While I meet all requirements. Downloaded the .apk but the app kept crashing. Also cleaned cache / storage of Playstore & Disney+, restart, earlier versions of Disney+. All did not had any effect. Downloaded Aurora store (https://auroraoss.com/) and it worked like a charm!
You can install Aurora Store (still need Developer Mode). It's mainly like the Play Store but it will proxy the connection for you, so you can bypass limitations. I used it to install it on the Pixel Slate.
It will also take care of the updating, so it will be a one-click job, as if you had just installed it via Play Store.
PS: screen flickering makes it impossible to play on the Pixel Slate at the moment, but that's a different story :)
Try Aurora Store https://auroraoss.com/
You can log in and it'll pull your purchases from the play store. Though I would imagine there is risk of ban.
​
In general, I would say most purchased apps probably don't respect privacy and probably aren't FOSS.

In General yes, but the same night I don't think so.
There's only a setting to disable auto updates and set a preferred network (wifi or cellular and wifi).
As I've said as long as you don't have a pending update for several weeks it's fine. The only apps that won't update automatically for me are those running 24/7, and looking through your screenshot I don't see any app that wouldn't auto update at some point.
Other than in case the device is rooted you could also try Aurora Store which is an open source client for Google play store that can also auto-update apps - but only with root, otherwise it needs confirmation on every app to install.
The Huawei P20 Pro does have an official LineageOS build, yes.
Changing the IMEI isn't possible that easily, and it's even illegal in some legislations (if I remember correctly).
For obtaining APKs you have quite a few options:
- F-Droid for open-source applications.
- Aurora Store for apps from the Google Play Store.
- Various APK mirroring sites (I won't suggest any here, since I can't vouch for their credibility).
Just to advice that I had lots of problems to get an anon token in Aurora. After many attempts the solution was going to Settings->Network->Enable custom Tokenizer and change the "Tokenizer URL" by the Germany one that you can get on the web: https://auroraoss.com/ (look at Token Dispensers).
Hope this can help somebody ;)
