It is not what I’m looking for. It’s more like that.

then try Open Note Scanner | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

I want an app that measures my running speed.

I know that I can develop it myself but I need to study for school.

When I finish school InShaaAllah and I don’t find such app on F-Droid I will make it myself.

cliffcoggin · November 8, 2024, 11:45pm

How about Speedmeter?

Ammar64 · November 9, 2024, 9:41am

Incompatible with my device.
They target old android version.

Audiobook app something like GitHub - vipulyaara/Kafka: Read, play, and download millions of books; served by archive.org.

I’m not sure if anyone said it before me or not but yea an adobe scanner alternative would be dope . There are alternatives now but not one with all of adobe scanner feature if one app A has X feature it won’t have Y feature and if app B has Y feature it won’t have X so yeah one with all of em would be cool and better if its available in official repo instead of izzi or github .

Something to enable easy install of pre-Marshmallow apps on Android 14.

It seems it should still be able to download apk files manually from f-droid.org and install them via pm install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block but I haven’t tried it yet and it’s kind of an unecessary pain. It might not be as secure as installing via the F-Droid app

I’ve found a Magisk/Zygisk/Lsposed module (not sure about the terminology today) that can be downloaded from a 3rd party F-Droid repo but I’d much prefer something that’s trusted enough to be in the official repo, since this is root stuff and all.

Neo Store can do it.
