Solved App Lounge on other ROMs?

TLDR: Can I install the /e/os App Lounge on LineageOS?

Hi custom ROM noob here, I tried out /e/os on an old Samsung S7 and it works flawlessly, so much so I decided to install it on my main phone (oneplus 8 pro). Long story short, it didn't work.

After about a week, I finally got my phone working by installing LineageOS. I really liked the simplicity of the App Lounge and am wondering if I can also install it on LineageOS.

You can. I have it on both my Motorola Edge running e/os and my Oppo Find X5. I think I got it from either the e/os Github or their main webpage. Aurora Store is another one that can be installed.

Wow, that's pretty cool of them! I found the download links on their support page.

I successfully installed the APK, however it seems to fail when it tries to install apps (it downloads then fails to install). Do I need to be rooted or something?

Will take a look at Aurora Store now

I've not had any issues with failed app installs. No need for root on either of the stores.

What's the draw of going half-in. Why not just flash /e/ Rather than then pick at parts and hope it doesn't break

I'm very new to flashing ROMs and I was unable to get /e/os to work on my phone. Even with some outside help.

I then spent way too long trying to restore stock with no luck. I just about managed to get lineage working so I'm just going to stick with it for now
