#serviceToot one of the mirrors at #IzzyOnDroid had a power outage, and is currently in recovery (file system repair) – the USV didn't like to be triggered 3 times in a row 🙈). Good thing there are multiple mirrors, so you shouldn't even notice it – unless you pinned your client to our US mirror…

You can watch the state at our monitor, and thus see when the mirror recovered:

(one of our builders was affected too – but as with the mirrors, we luckily have more than one)

#Catima 2.38.0 is out!

github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

This release adds support for .pkpasses, removes the Stocard importer (as Stocard no longer exists) and removes images from the widget below Android 12L.

Do note that the widget change is not what we want. If anyone understands this crash and has a fix, I'd love to hear it, so we can support images on all Android versions: github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…

Coming soon to an app store near you.

#IzzyOnDroid #GitHub #GooglePlay


#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings you 12 updated and 1 added apps:

* Squeezelite: a 'headless' audio player for Lyrion Music Server 🛡️

We've also added a new category "Social Network", so you can find all your favorite Fediverse apps easier (we chose that name as F-Droid already uses it, and we wanted to avoid "clutter" there).

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:


If anyone is curious, my current Android setup is as follows:

I use #NeoStore or #Droidify (currently Neo Store, the new stats support is just too tempting) with the #IzzyOnDroid repo as primary app source, the #FDroid repo as secondary.

If I need something not on either of those, I will use #AuroraStore to access #GooglePlay.

Random APKs from GitHub or whatever only in very very specific cases. I will generally wait until the app drops on F-Droid or (preferably) IzzyOnDroid.


Today's #AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid brings you 19 updated and 2 added apps:

5 #Magisk modules have been updated at apt.izzysoft.de/magisk

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:


For number lovers: during the past 31 days, the #IzzyOnDroid repo saw almost 800,000 APK downloads – which roughly corresponds to 18 APKs/minute, or 1 APK every 3 seconds. And that's only from our main server, not counting the mirrors (coming soon™).

Detail lovers can head over to stats.izzyondroid.org/ and dig in 😉


#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings you 16 updated and 3 added apps:

* BikeBridge: a companion for your e-bike and components 🛡️

And of course Neo Store now with integrated download stats 😃

RB status: 703 apps (53.8%)

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:


Excited to announce #Catima is in the top 5% of most popular apps on #IzzyOnDroid, ranking place 62 of 1307.

Even more excited to see our new IzzyOnDroid download statistics, supported by #NLNet, land in #NeoStore!

Curious as to how it works? It's actually pretty simple! Server logs are fed, per server, into codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-s… and the results are summarized using codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-s…, creating easy to consume JSON files. Then, Neo Store consumes them :)


Today's #AndroidAppRain at the #IzzyOnDroid repo will come with a special: Neo Store updated to v1.1.2, and now does provide our download statistics inline (see attached images) 🥳

You cannot only see how well your favorite apps perform, but also sort your listings by "popularity" (actually, download counts). And also which F-Droid client is favored by those using a given app.

Currently only available for apps provided via the IzzyOnDroid repo – until other repos pick up the stats generator.


Over the past ~2 months, we've opened hundreds of PRs, upstreaming #IzzyOnDroid metadata to the corresponding apps' repositories using Fastlane structures (gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/…). Most of them have been merged already, about 100 are still open.

* if you received such PR and haven't merged it yet, please merge!
* if you didn't receive such PR for your app(s) hosted with us, please let us know!

Once all is settled, our consolidated metadata can finally be made public in a git repo :awesome:


@IzzyOnDroid @Kerplunk I've wondered for a while, better late than never: if I add the #IzzyOnDroid repo to the F-Droid app, how does the app choose which repo to pull updates from for each app? And in particular for CoMaps?

And are there other F-Droid client apps that handle this better that you'd recommend?

Thanks


@Kerplunk we'd suggest you read the security section at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/i… 😉 TL;DR: multiple scans are performed on apps published via #IzzyOnDroid, to make it as safe & secure as can be. In the 10 years of our existence, there hasn't been a single incident of a malicious app. So please, don't spread uninformed misinformation ("without checks" even). Thanks! @CoMaps

PS: IzzyOnDroid also has #reproducibleBuilds to ensure apps were built from the indicated source. Planned for CoMaps as well


CoMaps is now on IzzyOnDroid!

IzzyOnDroid is an Android store for Free & Open Source Software. The apps are free (as in „free beer“ and as in „free speech“) and Open Source.

Builds for IzzyOnDroid are directly from developers and signed by developers. This enables very fast publishing (whereas F-Droid re-builds apps from source).

There are several ways to install and update CoMaps via IzzyOnDroid:

I would strongly suggest people get Catima from #IzzyOnDroid instead of F-Droid, as the F-Droid version is currently outdated due to a build system issue on their side (github.com/CatimaLoyalty/Andro…) and IzzyOnDroid generally updates faster and has Catima as Reproducible Build.

That aside, love the new icon! Will you update it in the icon pack or not? :)


I bought an #Android 4.3 tablet (#Alcatel onetouch, 18 £). Sure it is outdated but is sufficient. I found several great apps via #fdroid and transferred them via Bluetooth (saved as txt) from my current phone to the old tablet (tablet certificate expired, need to update this). Is there any resource to find more apps in the meantime? I looked at #izzyondroid a bit.

@IzzyOnDroid do you have be chance a filter for the minimum Android version I missed in the web interface?

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings you 9 updated apps and 1 new – AntiFeature (oops?)

Well, y'all know the NoSourceSince, when an app's repo has disappeared entirely and you no longer can expect any updates. There's a precursor to that: when an app's repo gets archived, there won't be any updates either – but chances are it gets unarchived again.

So we introduced SourceArchived, to let you easily filter them out.

#Catima 2.37.0 is out!

This release features a redesigned logo, kindly contributed by il-Luca (github.com/il-Luca) and Aeven-Dev (github.com/aeven-dev).

The redesign was kept very close to the original design from TangentFoxy (github.com/TangentFoxy), to try to not affect people's ability to recognize the app in their app drawer.

Coming soon to an app store near you.

#IzzyOnDroid


And you can be affirmed it's the very same FOSS build, as at IzzyOnDroid it is a Reproducible Build – meaning, our builders built the APK from Sylvia's code, and ended up with a byte-by-byte identical APK.

Bonus points: updates usually reach you within 24h of Sylvia making them available. Our build cycles are pretty short: just a few hours, instead of a few days 😉
