I’ve mostly been using the official F-droid app, but I’ve become tired of having to click install every single time there’s a new update for an app.
On a new phone I tried starting right away with Neo Store, which I know has that functionality, and in fact I haven’t had to confirm installation of updates since on there, but on my old devices where I started with F-droid how can I get that to work?
I believe I read somewhere that for this to work, the apps I want to update automatically need to be installed the first time from within the same app and, even then, only some apps that target Android SDKs from a certain point forward support that, so not all can benefit from this feature.
So how can I make this change, do I have to uninstall every application from F-droid I have and reinstall them from Neo Store or is there an easier way?
Edit: One other thing, even in Neo Store it seems I can’t update without confirmation if I manually update only one app at a time and instead it works if I let it update everything by having “Auto-update” enabled
droidify could save you time https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.looker.droidify but may consume more battery life than the default f-droid app
It should be on par with Neo Store right? Either should be fine for this functionality.
personal removed rant
actually I would use Droid-ify, but I can’t stand not having the bottom navigation, while Neo Store has it… and too much of it to a certain extent, as well as slapping nonstandard components everywhere making a really incoherent UI, but I’ll take that over no bottom navigation any day
Btw, your link seems to be broken for me https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/com.looker.droidify/
Link works for me today. If you go to https://www.f-droid.org and type droidify in the search field, does it give you results ?
Yes, the URL is correct, it’s just that your markdown came out as:
[https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.looker.droidify]()
So clicking on it didn’t work on my client, just wanted to let you know
Oh, thanks. I’ll edit it.
No problem!
