Isn’t everybody using Droid-ify anyway?

+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.

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.

It is a chore to re obtain everything on a new phone… If you didn’t make a backup.

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

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

That was the reason I switched back to F-Droid. Had serious problems with updating and stuff, no problems with F-Droid so far. I don’t use it that much anyways, most of my apps are already installed. When searching for new apps F-Droid has a big category selection which is nice.

I’ve mostly been happy to just put up with the jank but if I get a nice interface without any I won’t complain :)

Plus it feels nice for the f-droid projects own app to be in a good state and I’m excited for that ☺️

Yes, but now I want a comparison of F-droid 2 vs Droid-ify.

I’ve tried alternative apps but they sometimes just break or stop working with the f droid repo, so I gave up and went with f droid basic.
