The app gets stuck building the google play APIs (I forget the exact wording). Yes, installed from f-droid and userdata was wiped, so no trace of aurora on the device beforehand.
I see. I thought that the fact that your minimal build is working was a sign that things were pretty close.
running any tracker blocker in the background ? If yes, stop it, because it’s blocking the goolag call.
I have just tested it and it works fine on my side.
Yes, but as I have written, in the moment the sources are changed from day to day.
around 5 minutes. Which version are you trying ? Full version is not booting on several devices. Mini version is better
You can try removing BLISS launcher via TWRP file manager in Full version. Than it should boot
well okay…
tried mini and full now (20200808 bvN which I guessed to be the a/b version?)
none were successful… and the device does not have any custom ROMs / TWRP, yet - and the original recovery fails at mounting the system partition…
I therefore also used fastboot erase userdata instead of TWRP format.
Do you know whether any original Android 10 device (aka system-as-root partition layout) has been using this successfully?
I have heard that on my last build the Bliss Launcher was the problem for no booting (that’s why Minimal was booting) Now I have removed it and hope it will boot on all devices.
August, 25th: after some tests I have found that MicroG setup is not working and some apps don’t find any internet connection (but internet is working fine)
August, 26th: Issues from 25th are solved. Internet connection is still show ‘sign-in required’. Bit you can ignore. Internet connection works fine
Nice. Maybe you can take this out too (I presume /e/ accepts patches for their software on github): Connections to izatcloud.net . It’s somewhere in vendor directory. Or at least sanitize the request so it doesn’t leak your serial number and the many other things listed there.
It isn’t “needed”, it does help with getting a GPS fix faster for the first time but it also leaks a lot about you. Even if we say “the hell with privacy, I just want a faster GPS fix, it doesn’t matter that my phone is connecting to this company without me knowing or accepting” it’s just downloading a file, there is no reason to leave it make a request with all the private data you can think of about your device.
I am just stating facts, I’m not sure what bothers you. Blocking it in user-space won’t block it completely (as the VPN won’t be up all the time). Even blocking it in hosts won’t prevent it from calling home, at least at boot time. Now I might be a bit biased about this issue but I fail to see why people are much more outraged about more tame things that are off by default (and clearly presented) while this one which is totally hidden and can’t be turned off is just put under the rug.
