    I have been using droid-ify on GrapheneOS for a few years now; because F-Droid ui is terrible, and the privilege extention has been such a pain to configure and get working without issues on my previous lineageOS phone. Happy to see this major overhaul; and i'm glad the FPE is being phased out.

      Me too. But more and more I am using ObtainX now and installing from Github sources. I don't need F-Droid's gatekeeping.

        I remember Obtainium being PITA to set up, is there any benefit in ObtainX over APKUpdater from rumboalla? Seems to have way more sources.

          I wasn&#x27;t aware of that app. I will check that one out too.

          FYI the obtainx sources current list is: Fdroid, Fdroid 3rd party, Forgejo(Codeberg), GitHub, GitLab, IzzyOnDroid, CoolApk, Tencent App Store, vivo App Store (CN).

          I only ever used Github so far.

            So &quot;Fdroid, Fdroid 3rd party, Forgejo(Codeberg), GitHub, GitLab, IzzyOnDroid, CoolApk, Tencent App Store, vivo App Store (CN)&quot;

            VS

            &quot;APKMirror, Aptoide, F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, APKPure, GitLab and GitHub&quot;

            so 3 chinese app stores vs APKMirror, APKPure and Aptoide, I think I&#x27;d trust more APKM over the rest, personally I update only from Github&#x2F;Fdroid and APKPure&#x2F;Aptoide I have disabled
