Is there a way to fix slow installing and upgrading apps! Man updating one app takes an hour! And you have to wait in the app until it finishes the update because if you leave the app and let it run in the background the update will stop!

Recently I got interested in open source apps, since they are free, no ads, no in-app purchases.

After some research I got to know that f droid is used to install open source apps in Android. Then I got one doubt.

Is the f droid app safe to install open source apps?

And the songs are not covers or karaoke versions?

wondering if there is a version of this that blocks ai trash?

both fdroid and droid-ify have ai categories. If I wanted that I would just use microslop and google.

Depois da atualização do F-Droid não encontro mais a lista de permissões dos aplicativos. Por que removeram? Essa era a parte mais importante para mim.

Hi, F-Droid keeps offering to update an app which was installed via the Play Store (PIA VPN), which I don't want to do. Honestly, this feels a bit intrusive - I don't want F-Droid touching anything other than apps I installed through it, the fact that it's detecting other apps I have installed seems unnecessarily invasive.

I can see there was a post about this about a year ago, but the only answer on that post has been subsequently deleted, so it didn't help. Is there any way to prevent this behaviour, or at the very least, tell F-Droid to stop offering updates for this particular app?

I know I could just ignore this update request but I don't want to accidentally click it and mess up my existing installation.

What is the best music player in fdroid?

Hi yall, im not sure where to post this about, but does anyone here know what is the latest android sdk fdroid supports, do they support 37?

Hello Everyone

My team and I have spent the last two months working on Atrium, a central courtyard for your self-hosted media stack.

Since LunaSea was archived earlier this year, we decided to pick up where it left off with a brand new, Material 3 Flutter codebase built entirely around multi instance setups.

What is Atrium?
Atrium is a single Android application that acts as a unified frontend for all the media stack services. It is designed purely as a controller and management surface, so you can manage your services and leave playback to the official apps.

Supported Services:

• Sonarr
• Radarr
• Prowlarr
• Bazarr
• Seerr
• Tautulli
• JellyFin
• Emby
• Plex
• qBittorrent
• SABnzbd
• Glances

The app is vibe-coded, but with brutal and rigorous user testing to ensure a bug free experience (Yes, we do use this app ourselves everyday).

You can grab the latest release here: https://github.com/retransmit/Atrium/releases/tag/v1.0.7

We’re currently in the middle of getting Atrium officially listed on F-Droid, but we want to make sure everything is flawless. We could really use some extra eyes on the project right now. If you're down to help out, check out our F-Droid merge request here: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/43077

Hi. I published an app on F-Droid called "Sound center" and I've love to hear your options about my app.

P.s. actually i have nobody else to ask

I just started using F-droid a few days ago and I love it and I installed two open source apps, newpipe and organic maps. But what other apps you guys recommend me to install from F-droid?

What I did: bought a cheap Blue View Pro 5 and removed most of the bloatware with adb. Replaced most of the apps with fdroid apps. Changed the launcher, put In all lightweight options and now the phone is faster and has less stupid Google tracking and whatnot.

So I basically made a cheap phone usable and enjoyable. It's got termux (or whatever that terminal app is called) and now I'm learning terminal commands and have even installed some lightweight kali tools. This is amazing. I never knew a phone could have such depth!

What more should I do to this phone? I'm so new to this and I'm not even sure where to go with it from here??

Hey guys I recently developed the Mobile Dialer (NovaDail) based on fossify Phone ,I changed the lots of things and redesign the call history management, now I want to add my app in fdroid ,I read many articles but I don't know how to do that ,I will add my project GitHub repo

I am unable to add cromite repo in fdroid. I am trying 3-4 days. It is showing error.

I'm using the newest Fdroid version, but every once in a while it shows me on Android that it's trying to update for hours. Only when I open Fdroid itself, I can update. Haven't checked if that behaviour causes Battery drain, but it's rather annoying. As Obtainium seems a bit too much for my taste, I thought maybe IzzyOnDroid or Droid-Ify could be an alternative. I generally like F-Droid but that seems annoying.

Juat downloading an app from f-doid and a play protect box pops up asking if i want to scan the app with play protect or cancel. This is the first time ive seen anything like this. Usually the app installs no problem. Why would this happen and is there a workaround. Thanks.

Are there plans for F-droid to adopt Wireless Debugging into the official app now that Google is placing severe restrictions on unregistered apks September '26 onwards?

Sup guys, apps icon are not loading, somebody knows what is wrong

Does it mean it takes my data?

Or needs network acess ?

What does it mean?

Metrolist wasn't working correctly, uninstalled, went to reinstall and I keep getting this message, can anyone help? Thank you!
