It seem that Google has too much time on their hands, so they are recently fucking with Aurora Store again. Huge pitty that EU has ever allowed such an unrestricted monopoly power to develop. Forcing everyone to use Google Play Store only through their app and targeting every alternative should be illegal. And that all was even before https://keepandroidopen.org/

I have to say, though, that the complete lack of communication from the people working on #AuroraStore about what was going on and what, if anything, they were doing has made me lose confidence in them. I couldn't find a single statement from them anywhere. I don't think there was anything they COULD do, but a simple acknowledgment that it was happening would have been reassuring. As it was, random users just had to look to other users for help

It seems #Google has stopped (for the moment) limiting apps being installed or updated through the #AuroraStore. It lasted about a week. Was that a shot over the bow? I can't imagine Google deciding to peacefully co-exist alongside open source Android use, beyond the control of Google. I'm afraid this was just a taste of things to come. #AuroraStoreApocalypse

@3sat ich wage das Experiment schon länger. Leider werden viele im Alltag erforderliche Apps (zB Banking) nur in den kommerziellen Appstores angeboten.
Nun will der Android-Platzhirsch den Zugang zu alternativen Appstores auf unfreien Androidgeräten sperren. Mir scheint, dass #aurorastore davon derzeit bereits betroffen ist. Heißt für mich: keine Updates mehr für die Apps aus den BigTech-Stores...
Es ist jedenfalls bitter zu sehen, wie schwer wir uns in Deutschland tun, für uns #dutgemacht #didit reklamieren zu können. ZB #Wero? Schwierig.
Immerhin erfreuen mich die Nachrichten aus #Hannover bzgl der Verwendung von MS365 an #Schule [0] – schade natürlich um das Lehrgeld, das nun gar nicht für Lehre zur Verfügung steht.
Auch die Sache mit iPad-Ausschreibung in #Datteln [1] weckt Hoffnung, dass offene Systeme (#Linux!) mittelfristig in den Schulen Einzug halten.

I just try to now add almost all my apps in ObtainX (advanced version of Obtainium), so I don't rely on Aurora store anymore. -
Since @calyxos has resolved it's issues and has published current versions again, I've flashed my #FP4 which is running #Android 16 now and is back on OTA updates.
I've used #seedvault for the first time and I'm very impressed! This was the best set-up process on a phone I had so far. Seedvault restored nearly everything without any issues. Thank you so much!

@Merula I've installed #LineageOS on my Galaxy Tab s6 lite some days ago and i'm very happt with it. I use #Aurorastore and d#roidify to replace play store. #HeliBoard and #FossifyCalendar.

Vous utilisez F-Droid ?
Avez-vous déjà essayé Neo Store ? Il faut l'installer depuis F-droid et il remplace ensuite ce dernier. Plus moderne il présente un autre avantage : de très nombreux dépôts sont présents par défaut. Il suffit de les activer.
