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?

Have you checked Apk Mirror or Apk Pure?

I keep a copy of the apk for all my apps, using something like APK Extractor - it extracts to a specific folder, and I sync that folder to my desktop using Syncthing. I haven't installed GSam from the store in years.

You can also try Better Battery Stats.

Looks like APK Mirror has v3.4.6 here

I've uploaded a zip with a few versions in it to file.io

main issue is that i purchased the pro, and there's only the free over there... wait! I can take the apk from the old phone before I wipe it! OMG why i didn't thought of that, i'm dumb. (no sarcasm, I actually forgot to take the apk from the old phone and i was about to wipe it! Thank you for mentioning that!)

edit: fuck.... on android 15 the app crashes when going in background... so it's the dev that intentionally delisted for everyone as low sales = patch not worth the time 😢

I don't recall if pro needs a connection to Play to validate the license.

Yea, moving APKs around can be tricky. Sometimes an older version just won't work.

I just tried the v3.4.6 on Android 13 (Lineage, don't have 15 yet). Worked fine.

3.4.6 is in the zip I uploaded to file.io

No it shouldn't validate the license, at the time I purchased it using a Google workspace legacy account and when they raised the prices I deleted the account and it didn't complain

Put the apk on an old android 8 phone and doesn't crash. One day I'll try to inspect logcat to see if it's something that can be fixed
