Apps installed from Obtainium cannot be archived. I really want the used app icon on my home screen so that I don’t forget about them but with the app deleted to save space.
There is an issue tracker https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/issues/2042 but no developer have answered. Meanwhile is there a work around?
thanks a lot
EDIT: I guess there is not a work around for now. It would be really great for those who sees this post to give https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/issues/2042 a thumbs up. thanks a lot!
That’s a “Google play” feature AFAIK. Apps installed from fdroid, apk, aurora or epic have the same drawback.
It’s really annoying, it’s a very useful feature.
It was a Google Play feature (a hack built around modular apps that used App Bundles instead of APKs for distribution) that later got added into Android itself in Android 15. F-Droid supports it, you just have to have Android 15 or 16.
Edit:
I have android 16, I don’t see that on the froid apps, not even the ones installed just a few days ago.
Is that a new branch of fdroid or is there a setting to enable?
Edit: actually, I use droidi-fy, so maybe it’s lacking that feature.
Yep, Droid-ify has an open feature request for it. F-Droid has had this feature since 1.22
