Hans-Christoph Steiner 67e66a7b0c InstallManagerService skeleton which checks cache before installing
DownloaderService is structured to be as simple as possible, and as tightly
matched to the downloading lifecycle as possible, with a single queue for
all requests to avoid downloads competing for bandwidth.  This does not
represent the possibilities of the whole install process.  For example,
downloading can happen in parallel with checking the cache, and if an APK
is fully cached, there is no need for it to go through the DownloaderService
queue.

This also lays the groundwork towards simplifying DownloaderService even
more, by moving the Notification handling to InstallManagerService. That
will provide a single place to manage all aspects of the Notifications that
has a lifecycle that is longer than the Notifications, unlike an Activity
or DownloaderService.

FAQ

  • Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?

Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.

  • Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?

This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
