Recently downloaded the phyphox from F-Droid and thought about this while thinking about what all stuff I could do with it.

Are there any online resources about such stuff?

What all things have you(or people you know, in your locality etc) done along that line?
And not only big thigs, if you're tracking other stuff, please do share your experience on that too.

Edit:
Sharing the github page of the app too:
https://github.com/phyphox/phyphox-android

From the browser Settings -> Site Settings -> Always request desktop site (on/off)

This affects Firefox versions since 133.0.0, including the Mull and Fennec forks.

Hopefully I can save you the 10min of frustration I just had 😄 I also just discovered that Android 13 and above cannot downgrade an app anymore without uninstalling first...first world problems, I know.

I'm actually using NativeAlpha app to my social networks. But I'm having an issue... Can't paste any link on my Facebook because the app crash. Can be a configuration issue or it's something about the app?

Is there a way to trust Fdroid to run the updates semi automatically? Every time there are updates to apps I need to answer twice for each app that I am sure that I want to update it. And sometimes the update fails and I have to do it over and over tp get the updates installed.

App for lemmyverse, mobile client for Lemmy.

I've enabled auto download and installation of updates in the settings, but somehow they are never downloaded and installed in the background, nor when I do "install all", they all prompt me for confirmation.
Is there some setting to change to make it work?

Sorry if it sounds a dumb question but I always thought using the official playstore that comes pre-installed is the safest so everything related to F-Droid is new to me. Did anyone had apprehension on installing F-Droid when you had bare to none knowledge how it works? I like to be cautious and on the page it has a Instructions to verify the download page and it only tells how to check from Linux but not from Android, what am I missing here?

Are there any? I could find proprietary apps doing it from Google's PlayStore but I really rather use a FOSS alternative if there are any. I tried searching on F-Droid and I couldn't find any.

Some weeks back apkupdater stopped being able to download/upgrade/install from apkpure, but now a days I see issues with apkmirror as well (I see way less apps when searching for them). There was an initial issue about not being able to install from apkpure, but it seems more than that.

Agreed there's aurora store, but to be honest, I pretty much prefer avoiding the Google Play store at all, and I haven't found an issue with apkpure.

There was apkgrabber, but it was not working since so long, and finally it got archived on github.

Is there some FLOSS app similar to apkupdater, other than aurora store?

Anyone experiencing issues with it? Issues are not meant to be status reports once filed, but it seems not many have even noticed about the referred issue.

Looking for an app thst let's me add text boxes (not just annotation comments) and singing to a PDF.

Most of what I've found only does annotations.

I have obtanium so its ok if not hosted directly on f-droid.

I'm long K9 user, and I was aware of it becoming Thunderbird, but I need to clarify what should I do to easy eventual transition, hopefully without having the deal with all my K9 settings...

Today K9 turned into Thunderbird Beta for Testers, however there's already an app called that way Thunderbird Beta for Testers showing up on f-droid. Thoug the actual ID of each differ (com.fsck.k9 vs. net.thunderbird.android.beta).

What should K9 users do, to avoid losing its current settings (accounts, folder settings, encryption and so on)? Should we remain using the K9 app, and hope that when it goes away then the thunderbird app replaces it somehow automatically and pick all accounts and settings? Should this period when the two apps with the same name coexist be used to install thunderbird beta for testers, hope that it pick all settings from K9 up, and then remove K9?

It's somehow confusing, I was originally hoping at some point K9 just turned into thunderbird, but at once, automatically, without still having two apps, so I'm wondering what's next. For now I'm just still using the K9 app with thunderbird name...

Thanks !

Edit 1: Many thanks for those who replied, at least I don't have a google account, and no need to inherit the OAuth to google, or any other of such account for that matter, although I could remain to K9 I migrated to Thunderbird official release (no beta) without issues. It sounds like a good opportunity to migrate to Thunderbird.

Edit 2: It's sad that the OAuth can not be inherited, though understandable. For those who were just using TB or K9 for a long time with gmail, and the account gets into the infinite dependency loop of requiring a device already logged in, given the stupid security question has no answer, then perhaps it's time to ditch google and look for an alternative, I haven't found anything useful to help around there. Google actually sent a message indicated it has protected the user from herself, and inhibited her attempt to reach her own account. Meanwhile, just staying with K9 seems OK, since it's still there (just a metadata name corrupted but the app ID remained K9 still).

I just want to extract text from images accurately. That's it.

@fdroid @fdroidorg
Hello, how to get app for client fdroid 0.100.1 for android 2.3?
#fdroid #old #android #question

Does an open source game from Frozenbubble or Super Tux have any types pf vulnerabilities to worry about like a web browser might or is it safe to just download it, with no worries. As long it's downloaded from safe repositories?

any info on this?

edit: I just saw there's already a post
https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/24219041

Can I get more info on why these are showing up? I've never seen such a thing on F-Droid before.

Why use HTTP over SOCKS5? SOCKS seems much more common.
