Completely dead, spoof does nothing. Is this an Aurora problem (non-Iode has the same problem) or an Iode problem (non-Iode Aurora works OK).
Need to know if im changing ROMs or just calling it a day and ordering an iphone or something . Need stuff to work. Apps are starting to not run due to being too old
I have managed to install the Aurora store!! It worked with the nightly version from the official website. Then I could also spoof another smartphone and update all apps.
Honestly the Fairphone 5 has been a raging bin fire so this isn’t exactly the only issue.
Anyway, very weirdly, Aurora store is now working perfectly for me now. All I did was:
Upgrade to Iode 6.5 - this seems to have let Aurora store install new apps at least but the upgrade screen still broken.
Then went to download history, went to each app I have still installed manually and updated it.
After every single app was manually updated, Aurora store now works. The check for update screen doesn’t keep spinning. 24h later I can see there are new updates available for apps and they install fine.
could you tag this thread with fairphone5 . It would be good to find this thread when one searches for the tag.
Thanks!
Regarding your Aurora Store:
I cannot reconstruct your problems on my phone and I have (unfortunately) no new idea except turning off “iode” for the time being or even “killing it”, i.e. closing “iode” hard from the App-Info menu.
Yes true, but as a temporary debugging step hopefully it is acceptable.
Regarding Aurora not finding updates, erroring on attempting app installs (saying “not available”) etc., I often have to “force stop” Aurora, then upon restarting it will work fine. I did have one case where even restarting the app didn’t work. In this case I had restored from a SeedVault backup and in the end I had to delete the app storage cache, then restart and Aurora worked fine after that (but needs the often “force stop” and restart issue).
I haven’t sorted out if this is a bug with iodé, with Aurora, or just the nature of using the “Anonymous” login in Aurora.
Sorry I can’t recall if I passed this information or not, but I will often find that I can’t install a new app from Aurora, so will then “Force Stop” it. Upon restart, apps will then install. Not certain if it is Aurora or iodé app or the OS where the bug is.
Hi,
I was also stuck in Aurora Store, Spoofing a Pixel 9 and logging as anonymous after deleting my Google account save me, for the moment …
It’s very annoying.
Hope it will be solved quickly. What the eek with Fairphone 5 ?
Hi.
For what is worth, there is a bug report opened on Gitlab for Aurora.
It relates to the “App inaccessible: the app is not available for your device.” on FP5.
Not for update as mention at the beginning of this thread but more for a fresh install.
It could be interesting to share some of your findings there, to get the ball rolling.
I do think it is a common error that is most often solved by simply force stopping Aurora and re-launching it. As you see in the bug report that @squidf links, that poster was able to go back to their original device listing and downloads continued to work. Others got it solved by changing the language used. But what I think happens is those configuration changes essentially force-reload Aurora. Not sure though.
In my case, reloading multiple times Aurora, even after clearing data and cache, has not been enough.
I had to tweak the device spoofing profile. Only after doing that and some new app installs, I have been able to reselect FP5 as device spoofing profile.
