Android: #Obtanium (instead of #FDroid app) is really awesome for managing app updates.

However, this method has an issue when the naming schema of the #apk files change on the server side, and you're using a name filter to determine the matching release file. You don't get updates anymore and you don't realize it.

Be alert.

Today, I've got a very nasty upgrade issue with #SyncthingFork since they also decided to change the naming schema, the backup file format and had a direct upgrade issue. Bad combination.

Details: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/issues/1442 and my own issue because of not following directions very closely: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/issues/1524

I first started using #fdroid in my #foss #android journey. Now, over the past few months I've been using #obtanium, though now I struggle to see the appeal. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I'm sort of split between just using fdroid (probably with droid-ify) or Obtanium. I'm really not sure, I don't want to have to put in the effort in switching over, but at the same time I'm not sure what the benefit of Obtanium is over fdroid. I really don't know if I should switch or not, any opinions?

The good new. Finally I can manage @loops from #Obtanium the bad new I have 3 weeks that the app doesn't work hahaha
I hope they fix it the app is awesome

@m2m I'd love to get a Fairphone. At the moment I have a Galaxy S24 from my employer which is fine.. I've replaced all the default apps/keyboard with FOSS/offline alternatives and use both #Accrescent and #Obtanium for APK installations.

I'm hoping alternate firmware will be available to this phone sooner than later.

Two years today with #grapheneos on a refurbished Pixel 6 Pro at the lowest price I've paid for a phone since they stopped GIVING them to you with a 2yr plan. With GOS, #jmp, and #snikket, the previously most insecure and expensive device in the house is the most secure and inexpensive. Including donations to the great apps I've installed with #obtanium!

I was just gifted an old iPad and it's a stark contrast with a device that provides top security without preventing you from doing ANYTHING.

Times and times again I see #FDroid reps bullying developers who dared releasing their apps on it.

I've been considering adding my app to FDroid, but I think I'll go with #Obtanium to avoid pain and drama.

#obtanium ist für mich die beste Art Android Apps die nicht im #fdroidstore sind aktuell zu halten und zu aktualisieren

So Obtanium may be my favorite Android app. Whenever one of the things I installed through it gets an update, it says "Kotatsu may have updated" (emphasis mine), and I giggle a little.

@dansup this is fantastic now that #pixelfed has APK releases on Github - we can use #Obtanium and similar to get the updates direct as soon as they are published on Github!

@AccurstDemon I keep considering #Obtanium, but I enjoy the security of the reproducible builds of #FDroid and #IzzyOnDroid. With Obtanium, there's nothing between me and a malicious release.

Obtainium — агрегатор закачек apk из разных источников

Android предлагает богатый выбор сторонних репозиториев и магазинов приложений помимо Play Маркета: F-Droid (opensource), Aptoide, APKMirror и фирменные магазины вендоров. Однако разработчики часто выкладывают приложения только на собственных сайтах или GitHub. Это требует самостоятельной загрузки и отслеживания обновлений APK-файлов, что слишком то неудобно. Для упрощения процесса можно использовать Obtainium - приложение для добавления нестандартных источников и получения оповещений о новых версиях программ.

I got a #HuaweiP20lite phone. It's a nice phone but the bloat that comes preistalled with it is just astounding. I usually install LineageOS on my phones but this time I was unable to unlock the bootloader. Nevermind, I uninstalled more than 150 preinstalled system packages via adb . The phone still works flawlessly without all the Huawei and Facebook and Google bloat. Now time to install #Obtanium and all my favourite #FOSS apps.
