Using /e/OS Applications

Hi! I’m not sure if this is the right way to post this, sorry if I’m doing something wrong!

I can’t find a specific app in the App Lounge, and as I understand it, all apps available on the Play Store should be available on the App Lounge?

The app is Hangout

I am on a new, just opened Fairphone 5

Thank you in advance!!

Welcome to the Community :wave:

This app is offered to me in an App Lounge search on my Fairphone 3+ running /e/OS 2.6.3-U-community.

You might want to check your App Lounge settings, perhaps you are shown only open source apps?

Thank you for your quick answer!

The settings are set to show all apps, and I found and successfully downloaded and installed all other apps I needed from the App Lounge (such as Signal, ProtonMail, Spotify, etc)

I also downloaded Aurora Store, and the app also does not show there.

Search the package name of the app : ‘fm.hangout.app’

Thank you! This way I found it, but it says it’s unsupported… Is there any way around this?

Again thanks in advance!!/ :pray:

I’ve found typing the app name followed by “app” tends to find those apps that refuse to be found on first try. Eg. for you: “Hangout app”

I think this problem will be fixed in the next version of App Lounge :

I am having a similar issue.I have a Murena Fairphone 4 running e/os for about 2 years. Generally no issues, but lately I can’t find several apps in App Lounge. Running android 12 e/os 1.14 system says it is the latest, but concerned the listed date is 16 Aug 23. My App Lounge version 2.5.9 has location and IP exposed, anonymous with all apps set to show. I have a warning that if I don’t update Signal in the next 2 days it will stop working. Can no longer find Signal, but a result loads as ‘unknown’, can’t do anything with it. Also want the Skoda app, get similar problem

As you surmise, your build is some 18 months out of date, missing some 18 updates and upgrade of Android version.

This has been reported by quite a large number of users; you might check out the hashtag fp4 to see some users’ experience of updating and upgrading.

Thanks aibd. Indeed, it looks like I have a job on my hands now!

Perhaps tag on to a thread where things are described bit like you find … look out for

  • locked bootloader
  • Murena phone with official=stable build
  • alternatively … have community=dev build.

Do ask for more info here or else on one of the threads where you feel the advice may work for you.

Good luck
