I’m on Android 13. The following installation methods are available in Aurora Store, and all except Root produce confirmation popups.
Session installer ⚫
Session based installer for bundled/split APKs
Recommended, in-built and supports all Android versionsNative installer (Deprecated) ⚫
Intent based installer, available on all devices
Best suited for devices running below Android 4.4Root installer 🔘
Shell based installer using root permissions
Requires root/superuser privileges, supports all Android versions.
If the permission is granted, the native/session APK installer still handles every install and update, including its “Do you want to install/update this app?” popup. Only root and system apps can do installs and updates silently.
It probably will have to to satisfy anti-monopoly rulings: allow app installation to be as seamless as Play Store (which has root access or similar).
An item on my bucket list has been to create a map with “gradients” (really just 1-minute bands) of what time the high noon is in that location. This map is just a subset of that, coloring red the areas with an over-30-minute offset. I’d make one for January and one for July to account for DST on both hemispheres.
I’ll probably convert a publicly available timezone shapefile into a Plate Carée (or similar) projection SVG, create a bitmap “gradient” spanning the entire globe and then use it as texture for the SVG shapes, horizontally offset appropriately.
You heard that, Elon? Energy emergency! Shut down the datacenters and rocket program!
