Neo Store/Droid-ify

degree

I have read that it's better to use the Neo Store/Droid-ify client instead of f-droid.

But they both share the same repro? I understand the single point of failure with the signing process. But I have set up the phone with f-droid since I was used to it.

Is it possible to switch seamless between them?

Any options?

degree yeah because it's the same repo you can just swap straight over no worries no fuss

It even has toggles for a lot of the common private repos like bitwarden etc. so you don't need to manually copy them over just tick the ones you want 👍

degree please read this to understand better the reason for the recommendation:

I would also HIGHLY advise reading the entire article to ensure you are using F-Droid on a properly informed basis.

Thank you both.

I tested the Neo Store. It is a quite confusing. If I understand this all correct I don't gain much over the 'old' f-droid client. I can live without seamless updates. ;-)

I only use a handfull apps. My goal was to set up the phone with the oportunitie to ditch google completely if I want.

Threma Libre, Signal apk the rest from F-droid.

I ended up with Signal, GCam and one paid Weather App from PlayStore and the rest out of f-droid (DAVx5, Organic Maps & Weather).

I think I stay with that setup for now. I'm unwilling to configure DAVx5 from Play.
