Can I use DAVx⁵ with Android <7?

Current DAVx⁵ versions require Android 7 or later.

Older Android versions are not supported anymore, but you can use old DAVx⁵ versions which were compatible with Android <7. However, all DAVx⁵ versions require Android 4 or later.

Older DAVx⁵ versions work with Android <7, but there is no support and there won't be any updates. We strongly recommend to update your Android device to Android 7.0 or later (maybe using a custom ROM) and use the latest version of DAVx⁵.

System requirements

DAVx⁵ version required Android version
≥ 4.3.9 ≥ 7.0

≥ 1.9.3 ≥ 4.4 (KitKat)

<1.3.2.1 ≥ 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

How can I get an old DAVx⁵ version?

App stores (like Google Play): We try to keep multiple versions online at the same time, so that you can install DAVx⁵ even if you have an old Android version. However, we may not be able to keep old versions for ever.

F-Droid / direct APK: If you really need to install an old version of DAVx⁵, we recommend to install F-Droid and activate "F-Droid Archive" in the repositories (F-Droid / Settings / Repositories, see screenshot). You can also get the APK from the archives (index XML (large!); more user-friendly third-party index) directly.

Then you can use an old version which is compatible with your device.
