FDroid vs FDroid Basic (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

23 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I've using FDroid for some time now, but now it says "it was developed for an older Android version (I'm on 14) and can't update automatically" I read that FDroid Basic was recommended for newer phones, so I installed and copied my repos (still have both apps) but it doesn't recognize my installed apps. Am I missing something?

It will recognize your apps once they get one update and then they will begin auto-updating again like they were. But fdroid itself is increasing its Android versions to catch up. I think it's targeting Android 10 or 11 now when it was targeting like Android 6.

Droidify > Neo Store.

...at least for me.

I have not used Neo Store though i have heard good things. I like droid-ify and have used it in the past.

Your comment is not really on topic. Could you put all your screenshots in a spoiler so that they dont take up all that space?

Btw are you using InviziblePro and the GMail app? Haha that is a bit hypocritical, GMail works with K9Mail.

I'm confused. What are you on about? My comment has no screenshots at all.
