  That’s the outdated version.

  It’s best to use the latest nightly build from here:

  lawnchair.app

    why is it “best”?

    not baiting, just curious. it’s an offline app that functions correctly. Why would i need to keep it up to date like an os or a browser or a host file?

      More features, bug fixes, and better compatibility with the lastest version of Android.

    Thanks for the pointers.

    Now running lawnchair. Just wish it had app updates via f-droid or store…

      Yup, it’s been some time since there was a coherent team development effort being made on it. Until they get their act together, maybe using Obtanium would work?
