Does Fdroid works on old devices, such as android 4.2?

Hello !

I have a Samsung GT-5830 with android 4.2 (CM 10.1).
I can install the app, but it is impossible to update the deposit.
Is it because the app uses TLS 1.3, which doesn’t work with version of android anterior to 5 ? Or am I doing something wrong ?
I tried to install all the version of fdroid I could find, the issue is the same.

Thank you for reading :wink:

What error do you see?

In fact, fdroid simply crashes (they ask me to send an email to explain what just happened). I see no error.

Ah, so the log should arrive somewhere, the team will take a look.

Wow, outofmemory? Then it’s an Android version issue but more of a low memory device issue instead.

So no hope to use fdroid on the phone ? :sob:

G-Droid | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository ?

Same… :frowning:
Aurora Droid is not compatible with 4.2 but 5 minimum…

Then there’s nothing we can do, just install apks manually :frowning:

I was doing that. Nevertheless, fdroid rocks !
