My #newpipe app says I have an update, but #fdroid says I am up to date. The general settings on #GrapheneOS ( nostr:npub1gd3h5vg6zhcuy5a46crh32m4gjkx8xugu95wwgj2jqx55sfgxxpst7cn8c ) do not allow installation of packages dowloaded via the browser, do package managers/repositories like fdroid just lag behind a bit or what? Should I disable the browser apk install protection? I assume if the app itself prompted me then the apk probably isn't malicious...? Also I have a few apps in #aurora (for like a week now) which currently have updates available but won't download/install, of which #Amethyst ( nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z ) is one. I think this happened once before & it eventually worked itself out, but I would love to know the cause, or if there is a solution...? #asknostr Newpipe is great btw! Many thanks to all who recommended it ❤ Amethyst & Graphene also make the general #Android user experience feel like a massive step up from iOS. Nostr is better, battery life is better, security is better, etc. Genuinely happy with all software mentioned, thank you!
But if I downloaded & installed newpipe via fdroid, what's the difference between that & the newpipe fdroid repository?
Okay, so if I have installed lots of other stuff via Aurora & fdroid, but I want to use obtainium to manage my installs is there a way to get it to detect everything & take over that job or is there a lot of manual uninstalling & reinstalling that has to be done?
Yeah, I should have asked for more advice months ago, I thought I was doing pretty good, but now it seems like I have dug myself a little hole in a couple of ways 😅 hopefully I can get it straight without too much headache.
