With the latest update of iodéOS, you’ll notice the preinstalled F-Droid app is now called “ioDroid”. Why the rebrand? Same functionality—we just wanted to be crystal clear that this isn’t the official F-Droid app. This avoids conflicts if you want to install the upstream version alongside ours (av…

[image] bb3: not show updates from already installed apps from alternative repositories. Well, you have to add these repositories again. The settings are not taken from the old F-Droid.

Just a simple question: These days I got ioDroid on my FP3 (iodé 6.17). The F-Droid isn’t touched. Is it save to remove either of the two stores? In other words: Are the two stores completely separate? Including all settings, as I wrote in the post above?

[image] peace: Well, you have to add these repositories again. The settings are not taken from the old F-Droid. Thanks, but I already did this. Since I reinstalled the apps, not sure if the problem still continues though.

[image] peace: The settings are not taken from the old F-Droid. Since the 2 apps use different name spaces (to prevent being able to have both installed) they are not able to read the other app’s settings to import them. So there wasn’t any way to migrate F-Droid settings to ioDroid. You can…

Actually, I just set up a new device and this is not on by default. But if you turn it on it fixes the app store conflicts EZ.

I think the hidden flag could be the reason for my problem, with the “Updater app” / “System Updates” for installing the update. With my FP5 I didn’t had any trouble with the ioDroid app, but the “Updater app” were still installed after Update to 7.7 but the “System Updates” with its new Look featu…

“ioDroid”. I understand why you created this fork; if you keep it on, I would ask to create a setting that allows the user to restrict how many parallel downloads are allowed. That missing option has been disturbing me for a long while in F-Droid and Aurora.

[image] MissPiggy: I have not updated yet - mainly, because my news app AND the updater have stopped notifying me. Then I read about the update here on the forum. I’d appreciate some more information from the devs about their thoughts/plans in the F-Droid/ioDroid matter to decide if I should up…

[image] MissPiggy: @rik , is there a how-to of dos and don’ts regarding the switch to ioDroid, yet? I am still hesistant … Also: Is it necessary to do 7.7 first and only then 7.8 or can one upgrade directly to 7.8 even when the big change was in 7.7? No need for intermediate upgrades. Honestl…

[image] rik: No need for intermediate upgrades. Honestly the change isn’t that big or noticeable besides the name change for default users: it will simply have F-Droid replaced by ioDroid. Thank you! Will run a backup and then update today. I currently have the iodé-repo and the Threema repo…
