Isn't everybody using Droid-ify anyway?

I've just been rawdoggin it with the OG f-droid app

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 2 points 47 minutes ago

mines been on no updates for years after they removed the ability to downgrade apps inexplicably.

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 7 points 4 hours ago

Honestly the new ui is nice enough I may be switching back to the official F-droid app.

We'll see where I stay. I love the simplicity of droid-ify but sometimes have some issues with minor jank

I get pretty much everything through obtainium

First I've heard of it tbh. I'll check it out, thankyou

I love that I've never heard of Droidify. Open source offers a buffet of alternatives.

No. Team neo store represent

[–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 1 points 23 minutes ago

Does Neo Store have a way to make apps only use the official F-Droid repo for updates unless you downloaded them from a different one? Because it seems to just want to update from any repo, so I ended up splitting F-Droid Basic for official F-Droid apps and Neo Store for IzzyOnDroid and other third party repos.

+1 for neo store. I wonder if the new f-droid overhaul catches up as neo is pretty fantastic.

Edit, just looked at the screenshots, looks better than before but I'll stick with neo.
