Breezy Weather Issue

Hello! Could I add a feature request:

Please don’t have the default weather app installed for the Pixel 4a 5G (bramble) image, or have the official iode repos distribute all the available CPU types – the version available in the iode fdroid repo doesn’t support the chipset so i have unending notifications from the weather app about an update I can’t install, because it’s marked as a system app and i can only disable the app, not uninstall it, so i can get the updated version from the official repos.

@toydragon I moved this to a new issue. I am quite confused by the problem though, it seems to be with the new Breezy release itself, as if you use the dropdown to prefer the “F-Droid” repository the same error shows. I’ll pass this to the developers, it is certainly an issue.

But to the notifications, the “updates” issue from Breezy is not about the app itself not able to update, but instead one of your configured location sources is not publishing data. In the USA, for example, this happens with Breezy Weather providing a deluge of notifications when one of the configured sources doesn’t publish data for the item it is configured for. This used to happen for Pollen (but now I think it is disabled by default) but will happen now I think with some of the weather forecast things using Open Meteo by default (instead you need to use NWS or Accuweather). Follow the link I posted to see how to edit the providers.

No, i mean these notifications that i cannot disable:


Which, if i click, take me to the project github:

And as I cannot install the package manually due to it being a system app and the package is not updatable via fdroid, AND for whatever reason is configured so i cannot modify the notification settings to put it into the silent notifications category. I’m just glad that the system at least let me change the ringtone for these notifs to silent so my phone stops trying to get my attention each time the app decides to tell me to update, but, i’d like to be able to be rid of them entirely!

I have to constantly dismiss these which pop up multiple times per day for me. Which has finally frustrated me to the point of, well, posting about it it lol

In Breezy:

  • click 3 bars “menu” icon in top left (opens “Locations”)
  • click gear in top right of “Locations” (opens “Settings”)
  • Under “Notifications” de-select “Notifications of app updates”?

Why? You can update system apps manually, just like user apps. The normal (non-Freenet flavor) on GitHub is signed in the same way as the release in iodéOS-F-Droid.

please refer to the image in my very first post where fdroid is showing a BIG RED ERROR that says

And attempting to install the APKs manually fails! I have tried. It gives an error stating

“App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package”

for every apk on the release page.

I feel a bit dumb, I did not find this section before. It’s still frustrating that I must disable it in-app instead of from the android notifications control workflow, but at least this one gripe is resolved!

That’s odd, because a few days ago, the latest update actually had an incorrect signature in both flavors, which is why I couldn’t update. However, this was corrected after a few hours and then the update worked for me too.

Can I uninstall this weather app?

Now the newest Update has the same problem. But it is a thing of Breezy Weather to fix it.

Yes. Under preinstalled apps. However, you cannot install any other version of this app due to the signature mismatch.

Great thanks. I did not know that was there.

The newest update worked for me a day later.

I found breezey unreliable, in that didnt updated weather regularly.

Did you look into the update settings in the app?

Yes, I think that is right that their 6.1.2 build (which we just pass through to our repo) had the problem, I see they quickly released 6.1.3 and I don’t see the error anymore.

Thanks Yes,

I also update protonvpn using split tunneling, even turning VPN off with no improvement, I’m using Met office with no issues.
