The android development always just seemed... off, idk, I just got weird feelings about it and the fork. So I switched my family to use termux and termux:boot to run syncthing instead, it works fine.

At that point why not use rsync?

Does running termux all of the time affect battery much?

Not as much as the syncthing apps.

Could you elaborate at all?

Yeah, it's odd to me that the syncthing repo makes a point of not officially supporting android, and not making any promises about its continued maintenance. It's a large part of their user base, but it seems, for some reason, this developer that went dark never spent time to coordinate with or join the core team.
