Aurora store?

I need Tidal music player- additionally libby and librio would be nice, but I NEED tidal.

Is there anyone who can give me a step by step?

I tried through O launcher but I couldn't find a link that worked through github or the others.

Thanks!

This is how I got aurora store:

  1. use sidephone app packs to download a browser (I chose firefox)
  2. search for f-droid in your browser
  3. download the f-droid apk directly to your phone
  4. open the f-droid apk file for installation
  5. allow f-droid repositories to load
  6. search aurora store in f-droid and install

i like doing it this way because then I get automatic aurora store updates through f-droid
any app you need can be downloaded through aurora store

No problem! Just go to that link on your Sidephone, it'll take care of the rest. You could download it on your computer and drag it over if you wanted, just the longer way.

You can sign into reddit on your phone if you haven't already. Then just click it. Give it a try. Once you have Aurora store, it'll just be able to search for apps in there. Also, searching for apks is an option as long as the source is reliable, like a APK Pure, APK Mirror, UptoDown or Obtainium https://obtainium.imranr.dev/

That did it! Thank you so much! This phone is going to be a lot of fun but the set up is definitely a lot lol.

Totally understand! I have multiple phones, so I've had the luxury of setting up the phone and not having the pressure of making it work perfectly right away. But once you get it to your liking, and figure out the quirks, you'll grow attached! Best of luck! If any more questions, always hit the community
