This is great work!

The gallery app is already on fdroid

I only see it from the IzzyOnDroid repo. Same with Fossify Calendar. Must be coming imminently

On my end it's not showing on F-Droid, yet.

And their site doesn't show a thing because it's currently under construction

Use Obtanium and point it where you want

Thanks for the recommendation! Obtanium works like a charm.

Awesome. Go into settings and set the update check to what you want, 1 hour to Manual.

~~Link to the app that works everywhere.~~

Edit: got confused with the file manager.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

That's the gallery

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That's the gallery. I can't find the file manager in the official repo yet, but it is available in the izzysoft repo.

The new Calendar app is also on F-Droid now!

Edit: my bad, it's on Izzysoft, not F-Droid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

cand find it. Do you have a link?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

My bad, it's on Izzysoft, not F-Droid.

Thank you but URL returns a 404 error

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's like, almost 100% identical to the Simple File Manager from Tibor Kaputa, why make a new one?

[–] slurp 53 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Simple File Manager (and the other associated apps) got bought by a company, so this is a fork by a long-time maintainer that keeps it FOSS

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Great !

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So are they going to repackage those apps and sell on the playstore? What's the purpose of buying open source apps? Or it's just to limit open source competition?

[–] slurp 1 points 10 months ago

I think it's all speculation so far, but I've heard the company is an analytics one, so it's likely to try to sell user data

Did you update the F-droid repositories? I was able to install it a minute ago.

Edit. I always mess replies on Voyager, this was for @[email protected]
