m-droid's Issues

Write tests for everything (reducers, services, components, containers, etc)

This is the most high priority task on the list for now.

Add M-Droid to reactnative.gallery 🎨

Hi @SkyzohKey!

Sorry, this is not an issue...

I'm Xavier and I’ve been working as a freelance React Native developer for more than 2 years.
I try to help community when I can: sharing my works on open-source, like you do!
But it's hard to be visible sometimes! Right?

I want to help developers to have more visibility.
So, I've created a website where developers can share with entire
world their React Native projects, components, apps...

This website allow developers to show their works and get feedback.
Just like a Dribbble but for React Native developers.

Add setting for "Limit to WiFi" (with option)

TODO:

• Limit to WiFi
  • Download screenshots
  • Download app icons

UI Enahncement - Lists instead of tiles as an option

One of the things I liked about the old version of F-Droid was that it was easy to scrol through apps (esp., based on categories like 'Recently Updated" or 'What's New').... When they moved to showing only tiles it became chaotic and confusing. Though m-droid is way better looking than F-Droid,, it's also using the tiles instead of lists (with the exception of the search result list which is exactly what I would like to see as the standard view).

It would be nice to have an option to switch to either list view (like you see on the search results) or the tiles (which is the default view currently).

Manage installed apps and auto updates

One of F-Droid's best features is the ability to manage installed apps and automatically search for updates (only auto update on root, but non-root still gets notification). It's incredibly useful so the user doesn't have to check back every day or dig through apps to find them. Could M-Droid possibly mimic this feature? I use M-Droid to browse for apps but must go back to F-Droid for updates, so it would be great if I could make the switch entirely some day. Of course development is still early so I'll be patient ;) I'm not sure if M-Droid can get the same app permission and auto pull from repositories the same way as F-Droid, or maybe users need root permissions. Hmm...

Don't abandon this

I like the UI of this better than f Droid. I noticed it hasn't had a release in a year, and a commit in 11 months

Security: repositories are not checked by using the pubkey.

Can't use settings

Tapping on a settings element does nothing

M-Droid not working on Android 4.4

I am running KitKat 4.4 with the latest M-Droid app, downloaded from GitHub releases. The app crashes as soon as I launch it. I have attached a recording below.

Add "Settings" menu entry (M-Droid app settings)

• Home (main screen)
• Repositories
• Interface
  • Language
  • Theme
  • ...
• Network
  • Updating / Autoupdating
  • Limit to WiFi
  • ...
• ...

Main screen scroll stutters

On a high-end device, running Android 8.1. Perhaps it tries to load all icons on scroll, including those that are hidden on a row?

Downloading progress details (similar to F-Droid)

• Show downloading/updating progress details (similar to F-Droid)
• Add option for switch show on/off downloading/updating progress details

Corrupted package when download is complete.

Cache apps' icons/featureGraphics/screenshots in a background service.

Fetching/parsing large repositories cause app to crash

When loading the F-Droid or F-Droid Archives repositories, the app tries to write a large file to the disk and run out of memory.

This has to be investigated and fixed.

Cannot open any settings category

When I open the tab Settings and click on one of the settings category, nothing happens.

Duplicate results

Try searching for "Facebook" for example and see how first two results are duplicated.

Refactor AppDetailsScreen

Currently this file is a giant mess because I wrote everything as one monolithic component for rapid developement. But this file needs to be cut down into smaller components that can be reuded elsewhere in the app.

Big code refactoring

The current code really needs to be refactored in order for potential contributors to come and... contribute. I'm in the process of making the code way more react-native/redux standard. Both for contributors and easier maintainance.

Roadmap

Here's a list with progress (checked item = refactored) of the components that have to be refactored:

• AppCard

• AppsTab (mostly done)

• AppsList

• Drawer

• EmptyPlaceholder

• EntertainmentTab

• HomeScreen

• ListingScreen

• MenuButton

• NewAppsSlider (needs some animated dots)

• RepoListRow

• ReposHomeScreen

• Touchable

• SearchResultRow

• SearchScreen

• AppDetailsScreen

will you create separate changelog or you will update in releases.

Serious Performance issues

On a new mobile (completely new install) running Android 7, the performance of mDroid is just terrible. Some things to improve the performance could be:

1. When a user opens the app, he/she should be taken directly to the list of apps (from the previous sync).
2. Need to have background syncing (like the newer version of F-Droid)
3. Do not enable all of the repos from the start. This should be an opt-in (with a proper explanation of each of the repos - are they trustworthy?)

I really like where you are going with this, I just hope you can improve the performance. Until then, I'll have to keep using F-Droid.

Add to F-Droid

It would be useful to have this app on the F-Droid catalogue itself. Is it doable?

Support tall screens

This blog post by Google can help.

Runtime permissions

Why would you build a new app targeting Lollipop? I don't understand the need for phone permission either.

Notification bar should use a darker shade than top bar

This is Android after all 😉
