This is an alternative F-Droid client which is based on the older UI of the official client (pre 1.0).While the new client UI looks pretty, it's sometimes a bit clunky.
Lots of information that was provided clearly in the old UI is now not available or hidden behind more taps now.
F-Droid Classic brings features of the modern 1.x version of F-Droid to the classic UI, this includes:
* Index-v1 support
* Inline changelog entries
* Localized metadata
* Screenshots
* Donation links
Upcoming features:
* Better mirror support
It doesn't support the following features and probably never will
* Swap
* Index-v0 (old xml based index) support
* Support for Android
Note: If you want beta updates you can enable the F-Droid Classic repo in the repo management screen. Releases will also usually be available there a few days before they make it into the main F-Droid repository.
WhatsNew:
**NOTE**: F-Droid Classic 1.2 will be the last version to support Android 4.4
* Lot's of small UI improvements to a number of screens
* Add pull-to-refresh gesture for updating repositories
* Add a QR code scanner to the app for easier repo additions
* Accessibility improvements to app list
* Add a few disabled repositories to defaults (only for new installs)
See CHANGELOG.md for details.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
