F-Droid 1.19.0 brings automatic background updates and a new and better workflow for adding repositories.

JackGreenEarth, 3 months ago

I’ve been using Droidify. It supports background updates and has a nice UI.

It’ll be nice if I can add an app to a wishlist.

lud, 3 months ago

Why? All the apps are free, just download the apps you want immediately.

freecloudgal, 3 months ago

Yes, just as @acetanilide said. I use it as a wishlist so I can check it out later when I have time.

acetanilide, 3 months ago

I use my wishlists like bookmarks 😬

Finally. Might swich back to Fdroid now (from Neo Store). UI could still you some cleanup though

Are there any repos worth adding?

UprisingVoltage, 3 months ago

Izzy, bitwarden, newpipe, collabora office

BaardFigur, 3 months ago

I tried Collabora, but I didn’t find it very usable

UprisingVoltage, 3 months ago

Yeah, I hear it often from people who tried it. Still worth a shot once in a while, as long as they keep updating it

The Izzy repo may be popular but with getting more than 1000 apps in that repo which are also in the main F-Droid repo I’ve been hesitant to add it. What happens when Izzy repo has a newer version than the F-Droid repo ? The main F-Droid repo goes for reproducible builds and checks for closed source software and more. Izzy repo downloads from the app upstream, does a malware check and that is all it seems.

All F-Droid Clients won’t install the IzzyOnDroid version if you have the F-Droid one installed already because the signatures won’t match, it’s a basic Android security feature.
IzzyOnDroid is actually a bit stricter than that, see IzzySoft Fdroid Index Info & IzzySoft Fdroid Inclusion Policy.

Cromite (Bromite Fork with newer releases)

Bromite is highly outdated. I strongly recommend either adding the Cromite repo, or the DivestOS repo for their Mull or Mulch.

Rustmilian, 3 months ago

Mull is actually already in the official FDroid repo.
Adding it to the list still.

Thank-you for this.

I’ve been using FDroid for some years but rarely see a list like this.
