Can I Just Reinstall F-Droid? (cdn.catsweat.com)

F-Droid has been giving me some issues for a few days (that I've noticed). It crashes immediately upon opening. Sometimes I will see it open for less than one second before it crashes, but usually it just goes right to a crash submittal screen. I want to reinstall it, but am unsure how to handle all my apps. Will it just pick them back up? I don't really know how to troubleshoot this, I am open to alternative paths!

I believe it would pick all of them back up. I use a different f-droid client (droidify) and can see all my apps in both droidify and f-droid

I should have added that, yes, it did pick them back up,. It even cleaned up the repositories I had added (I am guessing stock F-Droid carries those now?).

Did you get your problem solved?

I did! Is there an action I need to take to mark this as solved?

Can't speak to the community rule, but it's mandatory Internet etiquette to explain how you fixed it.

😬 I just commented in another thread about not knowing manners (in a barn)... I'm on it!

Yaaay!

And no idea, I just wanted to say congrats on getting it figured out if you did!

I agree with the other commenter though about it being good to share what your fix was in case someone stumbles across this :)
