[APP][5.0+] Aurora Droid : F-Droid client [July 22]

[GuestK00264]

Very happy with this app, good work!
Two things I noticed;
There is no setting for update interval available?
Categories on front page seems not to filter very well?

Aurora Droid is my new FDroid updater!

Refreshing applications lists oesn't seems to update the repo applications.
So, in order for a application update to appear in the update section, you need to manually resync the repos. Well, It's he case atleast for me, would maybe be better to replace what the refresh action to directly resync the repos if it doen't already do that.
Issues aside, Aurora droid is as good as Aurora Store, very happy by both overall applications, and really appreciate its design (which has support for AMOLED screen which is a plus for me)

+1

#Update : New build is up !

Changelog : v1.0.3
* Added root/services install method
* Bug fixes and improvements

Aurora Services :
It is an extension for Aurora Store and Aurora Droid which when installed as system app, allows stores to install the apps in background without user's intervention.
Its functionality is similar to that of F-Droid's Privileged Extension (Parent Project).

How to setup ?
1. Install the apk or flash magisk module.
2. Grant the required permissions
3. Set installation method in the app store as Aurora Services.

Thanks,
The new updates addresses your issues, kindly update to latest build

Thank you, I appritiate your time.

I want to share 2 of my latest findings with you:

1) Search results do not display all of the possible results - I was searching for a specific manga app that I downloaded from F-Droid but I couldn't find it via Aurora Droid.
From what I can see it is because you do not search within the app's description for matching keywords while f-droid does.
I've attached few pictures for reference.

2) Icon loading times when browsing / searching are extremely high - Sometimes they will not be loaded at all.
Entering the apps displays the icon instantly.

:good:

1. Search results are more accurate now.
2. Icon loading time is directly dependent on server the response time, which quite often is very high.

Amazing app! Can I disable the view of apps from Google Play? I want find only from F-Droid ones.

Aurora Droid show you the apps that are available on the repo you sync, nothing else.

Great app, more like what F-droid *should* be.

Couple of things tho:

>>When sorting by 'Date' it's from oldest to newest—lots of scrolling to see newest entries in categories.
>>Some app showing 'Incompatible App' even though they are not. Able to d/l and install from F-droid, but blocked from doing so in Aurora Droid.

Love this thing, keep up the good work. And, Thanks!

1. Added new sorting filters, hope it makes UX better
2. Incompatibility issue has be addressed now, kindly update to v1.0.3

good app

Really like how this looks, definitely an improvement over fdroid, but 1.0.3 doesn't seem to work correctly

When I install and sync repos it will let me browse the use the app, but I cannot search (just returns a blank page) and my 'installed apps' shows only 2 apps which is incorrect. Also if I manually sync repos they get stuck at random percentages and never complete.

Is this an error on my end?

I've installed Aurora services, and have used the convert button inside the app, let the phone reboot and set the installation method as Aurora services in Aurora store, but it still gives me a red X for the "service enabled" in the services app.

Am I missing something?

What's your Root manager? SuperSu or magisk?
Have you granted the root permission to the app when requested?

Magisk, and yes I've granted it root permission. The "permission granted" is marked by a green check mark.

Have you tried installing it both via apk and magisk module then?

Where can I get the magisk module? I tried searching in Magisk but found nothing.

Edit: NVM, I found the magisk module, installed it and it's working!! Thank you for the help!

Without .Fabric!

Does my phone need to be rooted for me to download this app.?

It doesn't require any root, as far as I know, tough if you want to use the background installation service you must have it.

Edit: The Aurora Service are needed anyway in some special cases like dealing with split apk installation that without it can't be installed properly, that's naturally based on my experience.
