I'm using e.foundation for a while now on my Moto G3 (osprey) and it's working ok despite a few camera/gallery crashes here and there.

The only thing I'm not really fond of, is that the apps come from an opaque source (https://info.cleanapk.org/). I also found no information on how those apps are signed, and how this is checked. Upon asking them, someone pointed me to a git commit where an outdated public key of F-Droid was used.



Yeah, that's the thing that would worry me the most: it's nice and all that I can use many regular Android apps, but how do I know that that's safe? In practice, I'd probably still restrict myself to F-Droid, like I do today - the only app I'd like to use in addition is our Corona warn app.


If you're from Germany, that may work soon. The Corona Warn App may appear on F-Droid soon.


Yeah I'm following that, but I'm from the Netherlands. I do hope that once the German app works, the Dutch one will follow - the issue tracker of the Dutch app has an issue, which links to the German one.
