I’m using the official F-Droid client now but I’d like to switch to another one. The problem is I have some third party repos added and I don’t really know how F-Droid works (it seems to have a lot of modules for app installation). I don’t want to break it or reflash my whole OS. So can I just uninstall the previous client, install the new one and add the repos back or are there any additional steps I must follow on order for it not to cause any issues?

EDIT: thank you to everyone who replied. I did what was recommended the most (installed 2 clients alongside and deleted the old one after copying all repos and settings) and it seems to be working fine.

    Just install the new app, and add the repos. Uninstall or disable or whatever the old app once you see that it works without issues.

    You could have multiple apps installed at the same time. It’s of no use but you could.
