#FDroid Client 2.0 is on track, already at Basic alpha5, did you test? Besides a plenthora of cosmetic modernisation, it gets heavy rewrites internally. One feature for #Android distros developers is the ability to &quot;add a default repository&quot;. Want to know how that works? How that changed? Read @grote &#39;s post here: https://f-droid.org/2026/03/28/how-to-include-repos-in-rom.html /PS: Make sure to forward this to your favorite secure and private distro developer. 😉

@fdroidorg @grote I like it. I deleted the v1 as it was counter intuitive but this is well structured. Thanks!

@fdroidorg @grote V2 basic variant on my shield is really good. Never thought this could be usable on tv but here we are 👍

@fdroidorg @grote @iode will be a better way to do things then pushing a Iodé specific F-Droid fork.

@fdroidorg @grote Please consider including a small tutorial in these blogposts how one can try the rewrite. It's not *super* difficult to realize you need to - enable advanced settings, - tick allow unstable updates, - install and update F-Droid Basic, but it is a high enough bar to deter people who might otherwise try it and potentially offer valuable feedback. Otherwise, really cool progress! I love the new design, far easier to navigate than the old version. Keep up the good work!

@fdroidorg @grote I love it, however I noticed over the past few days that incompatible apps are showing up. Is there going to be a flag in the final release to exclude incompatible apps?
