Hey,

I’ve done this, but also installed APKUpdater from apkmirror. This is good to help you stay up to date with the latest versions of apps that you might not be downloading from F-Droid.

Maybe something that others will find useful.

Hi,

After installing F-Droid from the e/ App store it worked fine for the first downloads and then impossible to update or find new apps.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Suggestion: Uninstall it and get the orginal F-Droid.

Hello.

After apk’s install, F-Droid will update repos and upgrade itself. If it stays on a blank page, swip back to launch update… and wait a minute (notification shows process). Prefer wifi for that.

Then, F-Droid will update repos when launched. You can choose the way (data’s, WiFi) in Settings (back, right) > Download and Updates…
