* System Requirements: | |
* Any Android phone or device with 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) | |
through 12 (S). Android 9 (Pie) or higher is recommended. | |
Future version 0.3.x may require Android 9 or higher. | |
During the testing phase Overbite will only be made available | |
from this site. | |
* Installation/upgrading directions: | |
- Delete any prior version of Overbite Android (you do not need to | |
delete bookmarks or any gopher shortcuts, however) as the | |
signing key changed between 0.2.5 and 0.2.6. If you don't do | |
this, installation may fail without obvious explanation. | |
- Enable sideloading on your device. Although this application is | |
signed, it is not offered through F-Droid or the Google Play | |
Store. Sideloading is supported on most unlocked devices and all | |
Google Nexus and Pixel devices. | |
- Overbite Android is supplied as an APK. Either directly | |
download the APK to your device with the browser or to your | |
device's memory card. Keep the extension as .apk. | |
- Depending on your configuration, you may simply be able to | |
touch and install the APK directly. You can also use a tool | |
such as OI File Manager, AppsInstaller or Astro File Manager | |
to do this installation step. | |
- Start Overbite Android by touching the icon in your | |
applications tab. You can also drag it to your home screen. | |
- Enjoy Gopherspace. Please report your experiences to | |
``[email protected]'', including your perception of the | |
application's speed, how well it interacts, and your device | |
and Android version. | |
* New and Fixed | |
* Fixes for visual issues in dark mode and on Android 12. | |
* Fixes for possible crash bugs. | |
* To do | |
* Enable downloading files to device storage. This will be part | |
of version 0.3. You will need to have a file manager that | |
supports PICK_FILE, such as Astro. | |
* Add localizations. | |
* Internal bookmark support. This will be in a future version. | |
For now, you can create shortcuts on the Home screen as basic | |
bookmarks. | |
