Hello!
If you edit plain text files sometimes or just write notes and save them to your phone (tablet), take a look at Coastline text editor. It is lightweight, simple and minimalistic text editor for android. It supports basic text editing features.
The features are:
- Opening, editing and saving plain text documents
- Changing font face, size and line height
- Autosave and built-in simple file explorer
- Remebering last opened file and a list of recently opened files
- "Keep screen on" feature
- Automatic .txt extensions
- Dark and light themes theme
- Support both phones and tablets
Supported interface languages:
- English
- German
- Russian
There are some screenshots in attach.
The application is fast and clean (at least, we believe it is ). And we'll try to keep the editor as simple as possible.
Also, please, note that Coastline is not an office application or full featured note taking app.
Download:
Google Play Store
Amazon Appstore

Rumsunrise team
its a nice editor..
i like its lightweight & minimalistic design!
just a few suggestions..
- option to display line numbers
- option to word-wrap or not
- font sizes smaller than 16 (good for display on small mobile screens)
- undo/redo
- search within text
i consider the first 2 "should-have" features of all text editors..
for the others 3, "nice-to-have" features..
iamelton, thanks! It is nice to know you like the app.
We plan to add undo/redo and search. As for other features - maybe, but i cannot promise. Initially we did not plan to implement them.
Hi all!
We've released a new 1.5.5 version of the text editor. Well, what's new here:

Here is new little update 1.14.1:
- Fixed a bug with multiple rights request on Android 6
- Updated German and Russian translations
Download or update, as usual, at Google Play or Amazon stores.
I love the sleek design of your app! It runs without a hitch.
As for feedback -- I would have one small request:
I would be wonderful so see support for smaller text sizes, e.g. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
Thanks so much!
One restriction is that you cannot open a file directly from a file browser like the CyanogenMod File Manager.
I tried a little bit more. First you have to remove
Code:
android:scheme="file"
from the AndroidManifest.xml. Then you can select Coastline in the "open with" list in the file browser. However, the file is still not opened. Opening manually works.
So my request would be to handle the file path that is handed over for the android.intent.action.VIEW intent:
Code:
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: Setting last chosen activity com.rumsunrise.coastline/.ActivityEditor for user 0:
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: Action: "android.intent.action.VIEW"
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: Category: "android.intent.category.DEFAULT"
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: Type: "text/plain"
11-24 14:32:33.118 2473 22655 I PackageManager: AutoVerify=false
11-24 14:32:33.122 2473 22654 I ActivityManager: START u0 {act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://com.cyanogenmod.filemanager.providers.file/external_files/notes.txt typ=text/plain flg=0x3000001 cmp=com.rumsunrise.coastline/.ActivityEditor} from uid 10041 on display 0
11-24 14:32:33.179 2473 5177 I ActivityManager: Start proc 30232:com.rumsunrise.coastline/u0a117 for activity com.rumsunrise.coastline/.ActivityEditor
Thanks again for the otherwise very nice app! :good:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Aurora Store and Google PlayStore ?
Unlike Google Play Store, Aurora doesn't track your downloads or the apps you use. We respect your privacy. Aurora is also uneffected
by Google marking your device as uncertified or a lack of Google Apps.''
Is Aurora Store a fork of Yalp Store ?
Technically No, the Aurora Store v3 is written from scratch, but it does share some code from Yalp Store (the POJO xD)
How can I report a bug or suggest something?
You can open issues here, or you can join our Telegram Development Group Join Now
How to Join | Contribute to Aurora Store ?
I am open to any kind of suggestions/feature request, you can either mail me at [email protected] or ping me on Telegram.
Why Aurora store ?
Because PlayServices have always disappointed and are proven to be Spyware & Malicious to the end user link.
Unfortunately, we cannot always get-by with just FOSS Apps. Aurora store helps us retrieve apps from the PlayStore repository,
without having to trouble you and your device with Google Apps.
If I don't need GApps, Do I need MicroG ?
No. Aurora Store was built to access PlayStore without any kind of google services. It doesn't care if you use it with or without GApps or MicroG.
What is the FakeStore ?
Badly designed apps detect if PlayStore is missing and start misbehaving. The FakeStore is a stub that pretends to be as PlayStore and
preventing the apps from crashing, as the package name for FakeStore is same as PlayStore (com.android.vending).
Is it safe to use Aurora store ?
Aurora is fully open source and verified by F Droid. If you're talking about the safety of the apps in the store, it just gets them from the same place
that the Play Store would, and are verified by Google. A lot of dangerous stuff seems to sneak past them though, so as a rule of thumb, don't download anything
which you're not sure about.
What data does Aurora store send to Google ?
Aurora Store does its best to send the least identifiable information possible. It does send list of package names of your installed apps (for fetching updates),
your search queries and your downloads for obvious reasons.
Do I need to use my own Google account to log in ?
Nope, Aurora Store can log you in with a dummy account so that nothing gets linked to your own account.
Why would I use my own account? Is it safe ?
You can use your own account to download apps purchased by you or to access your wishlist. Although you may want to be careful, as Google retains
the right to block any account, so probably use a dummy account.
How do I login if I have 2-factor-authentication enabled ?
You just need to get an app password from the Google dashboard and use that to login into Aurora Store.
How do I purchase paid apps ?
Purchase the apps from the PlayStore website, and login using your own account in Aurora Store to download them.
Can Aurora store verify licences ?
Not yet. All you can do at this point is pester the dev of the licenced app to give you an alternative method for verification.
Can I use Aurora store to get paid apps for free ?
No. Get out.
What is the F Droid filter ?
Since F-Droid signs APKs with its own keys, the Play Store variants of apps cannot be installed over them. The F Droid filter excludes all the apps
it finds with F Droid signatures on your device to prevent such conflicts.
What is the spoofing feature ?
Spoofing allows you to pretend to be any other device at any other location in the world, to download geo-restricted apps. You can use your own custom device
configs by dropping the .properties file in the Downloads directory (Settings -> Downloads -> Download Path).
How does Aurora install apps ?
Aurora Store can install apps in 3 ways
Manual - Whenever an app is downloaded, it will open the manual installation screen. This doesn't require root or system perms.
Root | System - By giving Aurora Store root or system permissions, it will automatically install apps in the background as soon as they are downloaded.
Aurora Services - By installing Aurora Services as system app, Aurora Store can automatically install app upon download completion in background.
How do I use Aurora services ?
Install Aurora Services (to system preferred), open it, do everything it says, open Aurora settings and choose Aurora Services it as install method.
You don't need to give Aurora Store system or root grants. Aurora Services handle all install & uninstall requests in background.
NOTE: Aurora Services support has yet to be implemented in v3.
How to give Aurora Store|Services system permissions ?
You need to either manually push the APKs to /system/priv-app, or install the magisk module from the group.
Can Aurora Download and install Split or Bundled APKs ?
Yes, with or without root.
How can I submit/improve translations ?
Go to POEditor, and inform me when done.
(Although I keep track of translations progress, but in case I miss, let me know)
Why do I have two Aurora Stores after installing the new builds ?
Because the v3 is a completely new rewrite, it comes with a new package name. You can uninstall the older one or keep it if you want.
Why are the versions on FDroid and XDA labs outdated? When will they be updated ?
Aurora Store is still in a development phase right now, and only infrequent stable builds will be uploaded there (Also, FDroid's review & build process is quite lengthy).
You can always grab the latest tests builds either from the Telegram Group or from AuroraOSS
"Please add FDroid | Amazon App Store| Yada support"
No, this is a PlayStore client. Which means it's for the Play store only. Different clients for different services (^_~)
Works well. Can you add signature spoofing and change package name to use as a replacement app store for MicroG?
1. Signature spoofing is ROM specific .
2. I can do that, but would it make a difference ?
Anyway main goal of the project is to support MicroG, I will do the required changes. ThankYou
Screenshots?
And, since you are using github, why not attach apk automatically to release section? Instead of having separate AFH
Travis and gradle can do it for you

Will do it for stable builds.

Checkout out beta build 2, uploaded just now!
You can check BlankStore from MicroG. It fakes the Google Play Store. So yes signature spoofing is required from custom rom end. And only if its not too much trouble for you. Good app Material UI still only around 4MB!

Can you move "Developer:" below App name, like
Pixel Launcher
By Google
"Depends On:" on the same line as "No ads", and "Updated:" in "Changelog" section? This way all info can be viewed in single screen.
Nice one. I was using YalpStore along with the PlayStore mainly to check for the updates of the apps which didn't show up in the genuine PlayStore for me due to SafetyNet fail (coz of rooting+xposed...) like Netflix or Super Mario Run. The one thing that was pissing me off was the Eclair-like UI. It is nice to see such a kind remix.
I'd like to ask if the app contains or is planned to contain any self-update mechanism? How do I know if the new version is released? Did you consider adding id to xda labs?
Thanks for a great job!
Is anyone going to mention getting you *may* (remote chance) have your google account blacklisted by using this? Same as the app from which its derived and all other fake stores...
Should be in the OP as a disclaimer....irresponsible to not make people aware of this

I absolutely disagree. Using third-party client to access Play Store IS NOT forbidden via Google TOS thus it cannot be a reason of terminating the contract by Google basing on the pt. 8.3 TOS.
I am aware that yeriomin (the creator of YalpStore) states otherwise in the readme at yalp's github or even in in-app warnings, but I guess the reason he does so is that he's much better programmer than lawyer... And even until now this is being repeated and repeated - but NO ONE took an effort to verify that thesis.
yeriomin indicates that Yalp violates pt. 3.3 of Play Services TOS - available at https://www.google.com/mobile/android/market-tos.html - which in result *may* lead to banning an account (see pt. 8.3). But that pt. 3.3 says:
3.3 You agree not to access (or attempt to access) Google Play by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google. You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) Google Play through any automated means (including use of scripts, crawlers, or similar technologies) and shall ensure that you comply with the instructions set out in any robots.txt file present on the Google Play website.

The facts:
1) So, does Yalp access the store via "the interface that is provided by Google". Let me quote the developer ("How it works" at github): "Yalp Store uses the same (protobuf) API [application programming interface] the android Play Store app uses". Yes, YALP's requesting Play Store content by utilizing exactly the same genuine Google Play set of commands as original Play Store, thus it is true that Google Play is being accessed by interface provided by Google. Period. AFAIK it does not communicate with Play Store by any other means, for example via requests to third party proxy server illegally caching Play Store content or by utilizing http protocol and parsing the response html or any other non-official techniques. The main difference between original Store and Yalp is the way of presenting the data to the user, but the only decisive factor, i.e. accessing the Google Play, is being performed via the very same Google interface. Please also note that even if Yalp uses some undocumented requests, obtained via reverse-engineering (I don't know if it does), it still doesn't violate 3.3 - the only condition the interface has to met is that it has to be "provided by Google". Hidden API, even if undocumented and never announced to the public, is still an interface "provided by Google". I'd rather say that in purpose, this clause was aimed at the ones who are trying to exploit Google Play by issuing somewhat broken API requests looking for some unhandled situations etc.
2) Does yalp access the store via "any automated means" (like scripts or crawlers)? Just run the app once and it'll be obvious that Yalp does perform it's communication with Google Play in result of the decisions made by the user. Yalp has to be operated manually. Yalp does not offer any automation features like queueing the instalation of a lot of apps or pre-buffering any data except the one which is needed to serve the user's request. No, it definitely does not break this clause either. Let me explain that the "robots.txt" part is about the crawlers which are avoiding the fact that they are blacklisted in Google's robots.txt standard configuration file by acting that they are other crawlers. In fact this whole fragmen is mainly aimed at accounts used by some third parties to index huge amount of Play store resources via automated http crawlers, and the data is then used to - for example - provide a fake app store which steals credit card data etc. This condition is not related to YalpStore in any way.
Let's sum up. As you can see, using any third party client DOES NOT violate 3.3 of Google TOS in any aspect - until it does not perform any malicious or forbidden connection attempts or until it does not automatically mine for Play Store resources.
Therefore, there should be no worries to use YalpStore with your daily-driver account.
