To make an app show as installed from the Play Store instead of Aurora Store on LineageOS 23.2, you need to change the installer package name associated with the app. Here’s how you can do it:
Enable USB Debugging on your device (Settings > About phone > Tap Build number 7 times > Go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging).
Connect your device to a computer and open a terminal/command prompt.
Run the following ADB command to check the current installer for the app (replace com.example.app with the app’s package name):
bashadb shell dumpsys package com.example.app | grep installer
This will show you the current installer (e.g., com.aurora.store).
Change the installer to the Play Store (com.android.vending) using:
bashadb shell cmd package set-installer com.example.app com.android.vending
Replace com.example.app with the actual package name of your app.
Restart your device for the change to take effect. After rebooting, the app should now show as installed from the Play Store in the app info section.
Important: If you want the app to receive updates from the Play Store, you must also install the Play Store and ensure it is the default updater for that app. Otherwise, updates will still come from Aurora Store or not at all.
