Oh shit! This might actually get me back on the official f-droid client, I'm excited to try it out!
I love Droidify so much I'd be kinda sad to let it go, but yes - this sounds great!
Yeah, droidify is what ive been using. I love the simplicity, though theres some occasional minor jank. We'll see where I decide to primarily stay, the new official f-droid app has felt great so far! ☺️
Just updated the app to try it and I'm loving it. It actually feels good to use now. :D
does app pages will get RSS?
upd: my bad, i thought web is updated. I'm sorry
I skimmed the news, does anyone know if I already have Fdroid in an attempt to escape the custom apps lockdown, that I need to install this newest version or get locked down?
No, the lockdown will happen regardless.
so I won't even be able to install apps through Fdroid1 or Fdroid 2?
They will be blocked when you try installing them, yeah :/
Google's services will check on install of application, if it is verified. If I am not wrong. It fucking sucks.
god FUCKING damnit
This page has a bunch of info on the topic and has the instructions on what to do if you want to keep using f-droid etc
Google's "escape hatch" is a trap door
This section?
Yes, exactly
Thank you
Seeing that the "advanced flow" is part of google play and not the android OS is such a fucking red flag. I assumed it would be part of the OS
