f-droid

fdroid.apk

fdroid privileged extension

With the ever changing Android ecosystem its getting harder to enable F-Droid with background upgrades.

adb reboot recovery -> adb push priv-ext-OTA.zip /sdcard -> install from recovery use to be the gold standard. Sometimes you would need to install F-droid.apk manually flashing teh OTA zip, and sometimes you'd also need the privileged-extension package from the F-droid store.

Now you must manually mount /system before flashing the zip

  • adb reboot recovery
  • adb shell mount /system
  • adb push priv-ext-OTA.zip /sdcard
  • install .zip from recovery
