I’ve using FDroid for some time now, but now it says “it was developed for an older Android version (I’m on 14) and can’t update automatically” I read that FDroid Basic was recommended for newer phones, so I installed and copied my repos (still have both apps) but it doesn’t recognize my installed apps. Am I missing something?

@lemmyrolinga@lemmy.ml I second Bitflip’s comment.

F-droid repos are amazing and a must-have, but the default F-droid front-end is not the most user-friendly.

I have been very happy with the Droidify front-end, as have other F-droid users to whom I recommended it.

You can get Droidify using F-Droid, of course.

Tried Neo, didn’t like it enough, FDroid seemed cleaner and simpler.

I might try droidifyin the future, but it kind of annoys me that everyone is suggesting other apps instead of answering my question. I’m not asking for a replacement, I just want FDroid to work.
