If the device is small, then the "Conenct and trade apps with people near you" header takes up too much space and we end up not being able to see any nearby people at all, even if they are in the list. As such, this also removes that header for "small" and "ldpi" devices. During testing I found that "small" was not enough, because a 240x400 screen is considered "medium" and there is not enough space. ldpi seems to be a reasonable metric for "that header is going to be taking valuable space and should not be shown then". All larger devices retain the header and seem to look nice. This also pushes the "Can't find what you're looking for?" message and associated buttons right to the bottom of the screen. This is more in line with the original design. Fixes #604.

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.
