This week in F-Droid (TWIF) was published again. Our highlight this week: F-Droid and F-Droid Basic were updated to the stable version 1.19.0. It brings automatic background updates and a new and better workflow for adding repositories. Please note: this version is not yet the suggested version, so you need to enable beta updates, if you don't want to wait any longer. Also we talk about notable updates of some apps and the ongoing spring cleaning. https://f-droid.org/2024/02/01/twif.html #FDroid

    Are there any repos worth adding?

        Bromite is highly outdated.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

          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.

          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.

    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.

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

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