The DivestOS developer Tavi has stopped his work on the project and all apps.

Thanks a lot for your great efforts! I have used Mull, Mulch, Carrion and Hypatia and they were all great.

Now we are looking for a future of the Mull browser, while the other software projects are also important for sure.

What is absolutely important: Donate!

• to codeberg
• to Itguillaume
• donate your time to fix open issues

What are your favorite FOSS app finds of this year?

• Ente Auth
• Thunderbird
• Heliboard
• Weather Master
• Obtainium
• Openkeychain

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?

For those who don't know about Oh My Git! (website url) - it's for PC only though

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).

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

cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/14305957 >Per the GitHub readme: > > > This app is discontinued. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version. Interactions (issues, PRs) are limited now, and the entire repo will be archived after the last release. Thus all contributions are preserved for any future (re)use. The forum is still open for discussions and questions. I would kindly ask you to refrain from trying to challenge the decision or asking "why-type" questions - I wont engage with them. > > > The reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance.

I have been using the Syncthing-Fork version, but since it is based on this app, this may be the end for that app as well.

I wanted to check for updates today (automatic updates disabled because I ain't need no modern bells and whistles that you modern folks use) and I noticed that the syncing was taking longer than usual. I pulled the notifications panel and discovered that the notification was saying "0 / -1 b" or "-1 / -1 b" (I'm using Droid-ify which shows more verbose progress in the notification) and it didn't change over time. I removed the repo that was failing to sync but it didn't change anything. Is there any way to fix it?

EDIT: it just started working as it did before. I guess it could be some kind of an outage in all the repos at the same time.

Hello @fdroid

are there any infos about #fennec ? No updates since August? 😨 There are zerodays out there since that. \#fdroid #Firefox

Normally when looking at an app on F-Droid you'll see the multiple repos available to download it from all on the app's page. Whether it's Izzy, F-Droid, etc. Why does Organic Maps have two seperate app pages on F-Droid? One only lists the F-Droid repo download and the other just for Izzy.

Google Play má problém, když se v mobilu používá ještě jiný repozitář s aplikacemi (např. @fdroid). Pokud jsem přes F-Droid nainstaloval aplikaci a stejná existuje v GPlay, tak si ji GPlay nedokáže aktualizovat. Což by ani tak nevadilo, počkám na update v F-Droidu. Horší je, že ten nepovedený update zablokuje update všech ostatních aplikací, které mám přes GPlay. Takže dokud nepřijde na F-Droidu update AntennaPodu, nemůžu updatovat ani nic dalšího.

I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)?

The ones in my scope thus far are:

• Table Habit
• Kudoku
• Loop Habit Tracker
• Habo
• and "Habits"

TimePlanner has also caught my eye but it seems to be quite a bit more than a simple habit tracker

Anyone know where the issue is to be notified to? Or where I can learn more about the issue? I did try to read the log file and this message seems noteworthy: > No hash for gradle version 8.9! Exiting.

espeak's apk doesn't seem to have been updated in 2 years and says it isn't compatible with my phone (Pixel 8a). I'm not sure if there are any decent ones. I want TTS for OSMAnd's navigation while driving. They do prerecorded voices too but those can only say prerecorded things obviously, so eg can't say specific road names.

Android can open it as read-only but is there an app on F-Droid that allows me to write to an NTFS drive connectrd over USB-C too?

I started using it last year and I think others would benefit from knowing about it too.

Offline dictionaries(based on data from wikipedia, wiktionary etc.): https://github.com/itkach/slob/wiki/Dictionaries

I use the Wordnet and SimpleWikipedia dictionaries along with the one for the Wiktionary in my native language. ______ Going on a tangent about the dictionaries(you can skip this if you're currently not interested on that):

They had a Malayalam dictionary, which was quite awesome for me, as I'm a Malayali. The dictionary is based on ml.wiktionary.org from 2021. Maybe there were not too many additions for the effort to make a new one.

The code for creating the dictionaries are also available in their github. I tried it out, but I'm on Opensuse Leap currently and installing couchdb seems tricky.

I also saw a python package, Pyglossary, which helps to convert dictionaries between opensource formats.

Wikipedia provides monthly dumps of zim files(used in Kiwix, another dictionary app. Not available in F-droid). https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/kiwix/zim/ I was able to use Pyglossary to convert those into slob files and use them. So might be an easier way to get slob files, if slob files of Wiktionary or Wikipedia in your language are not available. Or if you want to update them. Data scraping is also avoided.
