Hey everyone,

I just want to present my fork of the Jerboa app, to backport it for Android 5.0 through 7.x, for anyone that still has older (but not too old) phones. Codenames Lollipop, Marshmellow and Nougat supported.

Let me know if this is helpful for you, or if there are any major crashes/strange bugs that aren’t present on newer devices.

No guarantees that I will update it but we will see. Thanks, Rentlar

    Yes, supporting older hardware is great and cursorily looking at the changes it seems that it can be upstreamed (with platform checks). However, I’m not sure if those versions of android are still receiving security updates and if the Jerboa developer wants to take on that responsibility.
