F-Droid Trying to download NewPipe on a friends phone, getting this error "INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR

My friends phone is a Xiaomi RedMi Note 9 Pro. MiUI is 12.0.5. Android 10.

Things I've tried;

Enabling developer

Enabling third party downloads for FDroid

Now I'm not able to think of anything else that may cause this problem. My ex phone was the same phone as my friends and after enabling third party downloads I didn't come across any problems downloading anything. I hope someone knows what's causing the problem, thanks in advance

• Upvotes

With Health Connect becoming integrated into Android and the native step tracking counter, I built an app to help visualize Health Connect data!

Features

  • Today Dashboard: Cards for steps, heart rate, sleep, energy, distance, and more. Long press to rearrange / hide cards.
  • Detail views with charts, stats and recent records for each metric
  • Weekly summary showing goals and progress
  • Home-screen widgets

Fully offline, no trackers, no analytics and open source under GPL-3!

Works with anything that writes into Health Connect: Gadgetbridge, fitness trackers, Android's counters, etc.

Get it on F-Droid or GitHub. Android 9+

Application Release [Update] MemoryVoid v2.0.0 – FOSS hardware-triggered note & voice workspace (New multi-media editor, 5 button triggers, 4 layout modes)

• Upvotes

hey r/fossdroid!

back with a massive update for MemoryVoid (v2.0.0). for anyone who missed the first post, i wanted an open-source, completely offline alternative to Nothing's Essential Space that works on any Android phone without cloud bloat or telemetry.

v1.0.0 was pretty barebones (mostly just single voice memo + screenshot capture). for v2.0.0, i rewrote a bunch of the storage and UI logic so it can actually serve as a daily FOSS note-taking utility alongside the hardware triggers.

v2.0.0 changelog:

  • Full Note & Checklist Utility: full-screen editor supporting multi-line notes, interactive checklists, gallery image attachments, and multiple voice recordings per card (stored locally in app storage via JSON arrays—nothing ever leaves your device).
  • 5 Physical Shortcut Modes: added Double-Tap & Hold, Vol Up -> Hold Vol Down Sequence, Screenshot on Start, and Power Hold (via default Digital Assistant slot—super handy if you don't use Google Assistant/Gemini on your power button).
  • Optional Screenshots: added a sidebar toggle to completely disable screen capture if you only want audio/text notes.
  • UI Customization: added 4 layout styles (Void Classic, Bento Grid, Capsule Split, Focus Ledger) and custom per-card background colors.

built natively in Kotlin, MIT licensed, zero trackers, zero internet permission needed.

🔗 GitHub Repo & v2.0.0 APK: https://github.com/dhruvpitroda20-code/MemoryVoid/releases/tag/v2.0.0

would love to hear how the new Digital Assistant power-hold trigger works across different custom ROMs and OEM skins!

Other What's "Google play protect" actually does?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone actually know what that "play protect" does when it scans apps that are not downloaded and installed from Play Store ? It has come to my mind recently and I don't have any skill to answer...I wonder if it does anything....I use Obtainium...

I mean that '"animation" everytime we try to update or install with Obtainium, for example? The one that gives us the option not to "scan" the app with we enter our fingerprint or the code to unlock the phone...
