Urgent Android help! SOLVED using @decibyte’s advice: I used Pixel 9a spoofing profile in Aurora Store. Thank you all! 🌻

I must install the Interrail Android app in order to to activate my Interrail ticket, but Aurora Store tells me the app is not available for my device. How can I get it? I could maybe download the APK from Apkpure, but I’d use it as the last resort, since I don’t know how trustworthy it is.

I’m using a Fairphone 5 running CalyxOS 6.8.21, and Aurora Store v4.7.2, downloaded from F-Droid all features are enabled in MicroG. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Aurora

#WhatsApp (yes, yes, I know) is asking me to upgrade, but #AuroraStore does not show an update for it. My phone is a Moto G7 running #LineageOS 21 (I got tired that new versions of #Android broke my usage patterns).

Please boost, I'm losing connectivity with my "upper" family across an ocean. It's a poll, but it is in all seriousness.

This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live:

* #FDroid Client & Basic #MaterialDesign #MaterialDesign3 1.23 are finally out, not yet suggested, test, test, test!
* Skip latest #AuroraStore #Magisk builds while we wait for fixes
* WiP #ElementX update, soon
* #Immich has breaking changes, do read
* #Mozilla #Pocket gone, so many #FOSS choices to switch to!
+ 2 new apps
+ 75 updates

🔐 À la suite de mon retour rapide sur #CalyxOS publié il y a quelques jours, j’ai pris le temps d’écrire un article complet après 10 mois d’utilisation.

➡️ Installation, pare-feu, microG, gestion des apps via #F-Droid et #AuroraStore, autonomie, mises à jour... tout y passe.

Si l’article plaît, je verrai pour certainement en faire un autre sur l’installation de l'OS, et aussi sur les applis que j’utilise.

Un OS libre, sans Google, et sans compromis !

Ok, I'm on the challenge.

#ChangeOS
For my personal laptop I moved from Windows10 to #Kubuntu (Ubuntu with @kde). This is a stop to boycott Windows11.

#ChangeMobileOS
After getting root on my Android device I installed @LineageOS.
Instead of Linux there is limited support for LineageOS. I recommend to buy a supported device: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

#ChangeBrowser
On desktop I replaced Chrome with @librewolf. As fallback I run #Firefox and a degoogled #Chromium. As librewolf is not available on Android I use @Waterfox here. Both support my Firefox profile I have since 2004.

On LineageOS and Android the new default Appstore is @fdroidorg, for proprietary apps #AuroraStore (fdroid).

Updated #Sailfish to 5.0 on my #Xperia 10ii. Seems to work and now microG also. However the #Jeep app still doesn’t log in. It doesn’t crash anymore but then just states login error after giving credentials. The network is a bit iffy so will need to investigate further. Also #AuroraStore got an update but after hitting update it closes down on start.

Actual native things so far work, but I haven’t yet done broader testing. Still a nice environment.

#UnplugTrump - Tipp16:
Gestern haben wir unabhängige Smartphones empfohlen. Doch kommerzielle Apps bleiben ein Problem: Sie senden Verhaltensdaten an Tracking-Monopole – mit Folgen für Konsum, Meinung und sogar Wahlen.

Nutze daher @fdroidorg.

Kannst du auf manche Apps nicht verzichten? Prüfe sie mit @exodus auf Tracker.
🔹 Keine Tracker? → Installiere über Aurora.
🔹 Mit Trackern? → Nutze sie isoliert: Extra-Profil (GrapheneOS) oder mit VPN & @rdns.

Continued thread

Kleines Update. Also ich hab das Handy doch noch mal komplett platt gemacht, um dann die #LineageOS Version drauf zu machen, die #microG schon mit drin hat.
Unfassbar, wie gut alles funktioniert. Eben noch die Banking-App umgezogen. Als App-Store verwende ich jetzt neben #fdroid den #aurorastore - also für ne anonyme Session zum Playstore. Also nicht gaaaaanz google-frei aber das reicht mir so.
Bis auf die Einschränkung, dass ich meine Threema-Lizenz ausm Playstore und die gekaufte DWD-App nicht mehr nutzen kann hab ich null komma null Einschränkungen.

Das alte Handy dient jetzt nur noch n paar Wochen zur Sicherheit, falls ich irgendwas vergessen hätte. Dann wird das auch befreit und dann zieh ich wieder um, weil hier am Ersatzhandy der Knopf ausgeleiert ist (geht eher Richtung 1st World Problem).

Arbeitskollegen sind schon scharf auf das Gerät, weil die das selbst austesten wollen. Mission erfolgreich :)

Recently found out that the Blackmagic Camera app (by the makers of #DaVinciResolve) is available on Android!!! 😁

But it's only available on a select few devices, which doesn't include my phone... 😔

Luckily, I did some digging, and was able to get the app using the #AuroraStore (via #Fdroid). It's a Play Store alternative frontend that allows you to browse anonymously and spoof your device.
