FAQ

By clicking on the "i"-Icon, you can see the time of the last successful background update check.

Please reopen FFUpdater after moving it to the internal/external storage.

When the 'power save mode' is activated, FFUpdater's behavior changes. If the mode is on for less than 24 hours, FFUpdater will not perform any background update checks. However, if it remains on for longer, FFUpdater will check for updates in the background, but it will not download them in the background.

Frequently Asked Questions about FFUpdater (github version) APK

This variant is built for devices that report `arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64` as their primary ABI. If your device's CPU matches, this is the smallest, fastest version to install.

Yes — the APK's signature has been cryptographically verified against the publisher's signing key. The SHA-256 hash is shown in the File Information panel so you can independently confirm the file matches the original release.

Android 21 (API level 35) or newer. Older devices will refuse the install.

Install a free app like 'CPU-Z' or 'Droid Hardware Info' from the Play Store and look at the ABI / Instruction Set row. Most phones made after 2017 are arm64-v8a; if in doubt, download the universal variant.

All variants are functionally identical — same features, same version. They differ only in which CPU architectures the native code is compiled for, and (sometimes) which screen densities the included graphics target. Pick the one that matches your device for the smallest install size, or pick 'Universal' if you're unsure.
