Voyager for lemmy is now on F-droid! You don’t need to setup a third party repo as its in the main repo
Edit: I’ll just stick to Jeroba for now as the Voyager UI is painful for me personally

If I’m currently running the Play Store version, is there a way to switch over without uninstalling and losing allmy settings?
- kosmoz ( @kosmoz@lemm.ee ) 2•8 months ago
Unless the app allows you to export/import your settings, unfortunately the answer is no.
This is because F-Droid builds its own installers and signs them with their own key. Android (sensibly) does not allow upgrading a package if the signing key is not the same.
Theoreticly you data is stored one your lemmy account. Maybe you could try downloading the F-droid version and signing in

Man I was looking for it there earlier today but ended up getting it from the play store.
I guess it didn’t help that I was searching for Eternity, not Voyager. What’s the scoop with the name?
Edit: I’m confused. I guess they’re different.
- SatyrSack ( @SatyrSack@lemmy.one ) 7•8 months ago
Eternity used to be called Infinity, because that is what the FOSS Reddit client that it is forked from was called.
Voyager used to be called wefwef for god knows why
Two completely different projects.

Thanks. I didn’t use them when they were Reddit apps, and the names are all so similar I got confused.

Eternity isn’t voyager. They are separate apps
- schizoidman ( @schizoidman@lemmy.ml ) English6•8 months ago
Eternity is available via the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo.
I personally would avoid the IzzyOnDroid as it isn’t well filtered and opens your device up to potential security and privacy issues

Been using Izzy apps for years. Never had a problem.
That’s your choice. The problem is that many app developers are taking the lazy way out instead of proper F-droid.
- Bebo ( @Bebo@literature.cafe ) English1•8 months ago
It’s also available on play store now
- Mereo ( @Mereo@lemmy.ca ) 4•8 months ago
Voyager is best in iOS at it was heavily inspired by the ex-App Apollo.
Yeah it kind of shows. I’ll just stick with Jerboa for now but that’s not reflective of the apps quality

I use it on Android, and I love it, only app that is polished and doesn’t crash - for me -
- ΛdΛm_𝒷 ( @adam_b@infosec.pub ) English1•8 months ago
It was already available on Fdroid ( thru Izzy Repo )
Except I don’t want to have to add extra repos. IzzyDroid is weaker in terms of security and asking people to add repos instead of just using the main one is harmful for the community

I bet @IzzyOnDroid@floss.social disagrees.
- IzzyOnDroid ✅ ( @IzzyOnDroid@floss.social ) 3•8 months ago
@samsy It all depends on perspective I’d say. @possiblylinux127 is partly right, as I do not build from source. Though they might adjust their stance after reading what security measures are in place with my repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info#security
Ok, I don’t really mind if someone disagrees
