Error installing F-Droid client on a Fire Stick

1

Hi,

trying to install on a 2nd gen Fire stick with OS 5.2.9.5

Downloaded https://f-droid.org/F-Droid.apk and trying to install it it says error parsing package

Do I need an older version of the client? Which one?

When trying to install the same apk by adb shell pm install it says

Failure INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_URI

3

Trying the pm install command with the full path to the apk gets me a little further:

It says install failed older sdk now

Go backwards… Running on old Android versions | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Works, the fire stick has something like Android 5.1. but still some very useful apps are compatible.

Using the F-Droid client with the remote is pretty hard, resorted to ScrcpyForAndroid - IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

IzzyOnDroid v0.14 can be obtained from IzzyOnDroid (unofficial) - IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository
