Gsam battery monitor has been delisted? (feddit.it)

I went to install gsam battery monitor on a new phone and it looks like it has been delisted recently.

Does anyone has more info on that? It was a staple on my phones since almost a decade...

Any alternative that shows a graph with rate of charge/discharge?

the dev has no online presence, but they updated the app one year ago to add android 13 support

it seems the whole dev profile is gone, maybe they felt the new google verification was a hassle

Sucks, I recently just noticed one of my most used apps SMBSync2 got yoinked but thankfully have it installed still, but I also noticed that APKmirror doesn't even have a copy of it like it does for GSAM :/

At least that app was foss so the source and build is still available on GitHub

Probably the dev was annoyed of the forced change for scoped storage which for a syncing app is almost a complete rewrite

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Innit.

It's silly, and they're nuking devs apps to make them update for the sake of "being active" even thou their app is still like Ronseal and does what it says on the tin, even after all these years and works just fine.

Might look like Gingerbread but I don't give a fugg since I don't even look at it and love that app.

Hell, I prefer that UI. It works, it's info dense. Unlike newer stuff where there's less and less info on a screen with a lot more white space (I'm looking at you FolderSync).

Indeed, and is something that not only irks me with newer apps like you say but is also something we have at work with all the HMI / touchscreens.

They're just now icons with no labels or anything so trying to figure out what some of them do is a game of guesswork 🤬
