Aurora Store on LineageOS for microG (discuss.tchncs.de)

Dear MicroG

I have installed LOS4MG (18.1) on my S4.

I followed the LOS instructions here. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/jfltexx/install

And the microG page here. https://lineage.microg.org/

Thus far everything seems good.

I clicked on F-Droid and downloaded the Aurora Store app onto my S4.

I note that this Aurora Store is v 4.2.3 but GitLab seems to indicate that v 4.2.5 has been released. https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore/-/releases

v 4.2.5 does not seem to be available on F-Droid.

Since downloading Aurora Store v 4.2.3 several days ago I have tried about a dozen times on different days to use it to install the Firefox app on my S4 without success.

I can't get the Aurora Store app to work.

I would be grateful for any help you could give me.

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

Same on my LOS19. I flashed a complete new device with LOS and MicroG Pico and getting "rate limit" from the start.Thats been the same with a pixel 6a on calyxOS and brought me back to the play store now :/

4.2.5 is available for me on LOS20. Are you sure you refreshed your repos? Just pull down in fdroid app.

Not a fix, but a workaround: use Fennec. Its Firefox with the telemetry parts removed.

Dear K

Thankyou for the recommendation of Fennec.

I am finding this very useful.

Yours sincerely ROMMMELLL

Dear K

I have a question about a non-LOS matter.

I hesitate to ask, but you're the smartest person I know.

Could you, maybe, point me in the right direction ?

I ran into simmilar issues with aurora a while ago. From my understanding this is not related to LOS or MicroG. It's just Google blocking the anonymous accounts used by Aurora. What others suggested and I successfully implemented is creating a dummy google account with no personal info, and use it to with Aurora.

A few notes on this. If they ask for a phone number for verification use some online service and immediately add fallback options for login (like an authenticator app - i recommend Aegis). My account got blocked after a few day, but i successfully recovered it aferwardas. Can be a bit of a hassle to setup, but it's been working without issues since then.
