App Lounge cannot install 2 applications (retry...)

[ionl]

Hi everyone,
I bought a Google Pixel 7 pro and I set /e/OS/2.3-t.

I installed about a dozen applications on it, but there is issue on 2 : osmand~ and VLC
Others are from f-droid (not installed) like nextcloud news, quickdic, but on these 2, impossible! /e/OS tried to install and finish with “Retry”
I don’t know why.

To solve this problem, I installed f-droid, and install them. It’s ok. But, for instance, osmand~ has a lower version 4.8.5 instead of 4.8.6

Have you ever see that ?
Thank you

"Retry”
I don’t know why

When testing always best to have all Advanced Privacy turned off.

When App Lounge gets stuck like this one should often try

Settings > Apps > App Lounge > Storage > then delete data as well as cache.

Maybe restart to be sure of the reset. Be aware that when you clear data you should be sure to acknowledge T&C as you reopen App Lounge.

i have a mi9t with 2.3… i try your 2 apps to download and install. i have no mistake by Installation all ok. you can try, delete cache in the APP settings (applounge). and try it again or you can try a Smartphone restart.

[ionl]

I had a Xiaomi mimix2 and no issue with VLC and osmand~. I already clear cache and storage and reboot smartphone without success
device download it, try to install, and “retry”

Edit : i also turned off advanced privacy

I repeat, i can install other open-source app. But no VLC or osmand~

@ionl

device download it, try to install, and “retry”

so with me advance privacy is activated and everything works.

you have written (device download it, try to install, and “retry”)

have you looked after the storage?

i hope this is the solution

[ionl]

@Hase

have you looked after the storage?

What do you mean exactly ?

[Didou]

I think the idea is that there wasn’t enough storage for install, but you manage to do it via f-Droid, so it was an irrelevant idea.

I’ve got 100 Go of free space
I tried to stop Advanced privacy completely, same thing
Like you can see from App Lounge, I installed f-droid remote for VLC, but VLC impossible

same issues here:

Cannot download/install anything from the App Lounge

Hello Running the lastest OS Murena One 1.9-20230310268291 and the issue is whenever I attempt to download and install ANY program the RETRY window comes up after the “download”. I have rebooted the system twice and even checked for updated OS. I have google play turned off. Any suggestions? Everything else appears to function normally. Regain your privacy!

App Lounge fails to install apps

Hi all, recently App Lounge seemingly stopped working on my phone with no apparent reason. When I try to install an app, it first downloads it , but when it reaches 100% it suddenly turns to “retry”. I have already cleared all cache and saved data with no success. Any ideas? Thank you Tiziano Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/ the unGoogled mobile OS and online services[phone]

Need help: Issue with lounge app by app installation

An interesting question ! Why does it not work for some ? Is there a common factor for those who fail ? I just tested and installed the transportr and warpinator both installed fine, 7:30 am in UK. My experience of App Lounge fails would fit with needing a clear line to the remote server, if App Lounge takes more than a few moments to start (that is to say, there is an extended “animated empty” screen before the screen stabilizes to Search or Update) it is likely busy, so I try to guess a less…

But same thing

[Hase]

so I am not logged into the APP lounge have only open source apps no googleapps or pwa.

it can also be on the Internet.
How do you go into the APP lounge with tor or something else?

have you tried it over the mobile phone network before?

you can try so much

[ionl]

Anonymous logged, only open source apps no googleapps or pwa
No tor, to VPN, classical Wifi.
Try data mobile connection also, always “retry”
Perhaps I must factory reset ?

[Hase]

before you do the factory reset try to reset in the settings then system then options then WLAN mobile data Bluetooth reset…

if everything should not lead to success, you can only perform a factory reset.

but remember the backup of your data otherwise everything is gone.

if it still doesn’t work after a factory reset, I think it can be just a bug.

[ionl]

I’m too lazy to do a factory reset and then configure everything. I just install f-droid, it’s easier.
But for me, with or without factory reset, it’s a big unexplained bug.
Thank you all very much for suggesting a solution.

[Hase]

Yes f-droid is easier.

Maybe the mistake is if there are 2.4 simply gone.

try to help even if it does not lead to success.

just try it again later in 2.4…

have fun in e/os

[ionl]

You have right, perhaps in 2.4.
I was also thinking of a file system problem, if directory permission is broken an /e/os cannot install downloaded file. (or permission of files is inadequate inside archive)
So, I will patiently waiting 2.4

[Brado]

In case it helps anyone, I was also persistently getting Retry when installing an app. I tried the above things to no avail. In the end I found that the app is no longer on f-droid; yet App lounge was showing it.

I found the developer’s github site and it’s marked as archived. I grabbed the apk there and did a successful side load. (It seemed safe since I have a long history using this app (Cythara). Is that dangerous thinking?

Anyway, it would be very nice if App Lounge gave a more detailed failure message.

Thanks to the team that I’m sure is working to the bone.
