Installing
There are two kinds of release:
- The preview builds: on the bleeding edge of development - for testers or adventurous
- The stable builds: ready for every day usage - for end users
Requirements
Installing the application requires:
- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean or above
- A rooted device
Preview builds
For users with bugs, there may be preview builds available from the XDA development thread or the related Android File Host folder.
It is recommended to try those builds to see if your issue is resolved before creating an issue.
The preview builds may contain bug fixes or new features for new android versions.
Stable builds
After preview builds have been tested by the more technical or responsive community within the forums, we will then post the stable build to F-Droid.
