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Bromite is highly outdated.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.

[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Thank-you for this.

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

[-] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 9 points 2 years ago

Izzy, bitwarden, newpipe, collabora office

[-] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 5 points 2 years 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.

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

[-] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] freecloudgal@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I use my wishlists like bookmarks 😬

[-] freecloudgal@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

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