I installed Syncthing via the Google Play Store. I attempted to update to the latest version via F-Droid. I chose to uninstall but the new version gives an error message, something about a conflict.
I found the following question with a solution, unfortunately the solution does not work for me. I am using Syncthing on a Onyx Boox Go 7, it runs a modified version of Android that does not allow access to developer options (or any other Android settings).
Is there any other way around this issue? Will there be a update sometime in the future that will correct this?
Hi Catfriend: Thanks for the reply!! Since this is an Ereader I don’t have much on it. If I reset it back to factory and then installed Syncthing from F-Droid would I then be able to install future updates or would I run into the same issue again?
Hi CatFriend: I was going to go ahead and reset my Ereader but decided to try something first. Instead of having Syncthing-Fork uninstall the old version I uninstalled it via Android and chose not to remember the settings. After that F-Droid installed the new version without an issue.
I did run into a problem importing my settings so I recreated my sync items. I have now figured out my import problem was the path, for Android I had to write it as ~/backups/syncthing. The tilde was apparently important. I included this in case someone stumbles upon this looking to fix their issue.
