        When I try to install apps via F-Droid I get error messages like "Download failed" and "file not found".

        Is something wrong on my device (Volla Phone 1) or is F-Droid simply not working in Waydroid?

            @jojumaxx F-Droid works like a charme on my phone Xiaomi Note 7 with Focal (20.04)

              @jojumaxx maybe you/fdroid need to update the package sources first. I believe you can initiate that, by swiping down on the mainpagr of fdroid.

                  Nice, that is good news for F-Droid enthousiasts and enthousiasts of open-source app stores serving similar function to the Google Play store which contains only free and open source apps.
