Will this be pushed to the F-droid version? Only downloaded from there.

[-] amnesiac@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I don't think so but might be though.

Can't include any proprietary code, so using the google sdk would invalidate it I believe.

I hope the money was worth tanking the good will of the brand. I wish I could code successful apps and the undermine my principles for meager amounts of money and fuck off into the woods

Absolutely Haram.

Simple Contacts and SMS were the only simple apps I've been using. Fortunately I've found Connect You, which does both. So goodbye simple

Thanks! Needed a replacement for Simple Contacts after this, Connect You seems like a much better app anyway. :)

Not really the focus here, but Google could really improve those listings by providing some guidance as to what permissions are actually required for certain tasks.

I am not certain I would know if am SMS program needs full Internet access or not.

(I get in this instance everything added is bad.)

I just went into Droidify to make sure all my simple apps stopped auto-updating and they all already had ignored new versions checked. Is this something I did or is this something Droidify did or is this something the f-droid repository did? If it's the one of the latter two that's pretty cool.

[-] redsquirrel@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

ugh.

I think a good way to avoid this for any other app in the future is to just use alternativea found on fdroid.

... And disregard the rest :D

A fork is currently being worked on, called fossify.

For now we have fossify gallery and calendar
