Raw Blame History

Obtainium downloads apps directly from forge/whatever without need for app stores and theoretically I can bootstrap it by copy-pasting the txt linked below into it, especially on devices that Google doesnt smile upon.

See also 2022-01-02 F-Droid Security Issues on privsec.dev, regardless of my list containing F-Droids. Regarding that, prefer F-Droid Basic over F-Droid whenever possible (if nearby features arent required) as it addesses some issues such as targeting higher API version and having automatic updates on Android 12+.

Importable app list

Moved to txt/obtainium.txt!

Third party F-Droid repositories

Arent mass-importable sadly, but using Briar as an example:

Upon adding it will become something like the link below.

Individually added apps

These apps must be added individually for whatever reason rather than mass imported:

  • https://appgallery.huawei.com/app/C27162
    • Huawei App Gallery. Huawei App Gallery seems require adding separately.
  • https://github.com/vector-im/element-x-android
  • https://briarproject.org/fdroid/repo?appId=org.briarproject.briar.android
    • Briar. Third party F-Droid repo.
  • https://fdroid.frostnerd.com?appId=com.frostnerd.smokescreen
    • Nebulo. Third party F-Droid repo.

Other noteworthy apps:

  • WhatsApp. The apk version number detection doesnt work, install manually from their website or use another application such as Aurora Store.
  • Tor Browser. Same as WhatsApp, but available through FFUpdater or F-Droid.
