Sorry, I was unaware fdroid third party repositories existed and that they weren't subject to the same criticism as the official fdroid repository. Thank you for clarifying.

So basically the main options for this approach is to copy the link
( https://releases.threema.ch/fdroid/repo/ ) into Obtainium, Fdroid app, or Neostore etc...
Are any of these options better or worse, or is it just personal preference at this point?

Have also noticed that the fingerprint that's provided in the link does not match up in the Appverifier app.

Is this because they are different numbers or formats?

Is checking checksums, fingerprints or signatures a necessary step? (don't fully understand what they are)

Thanks again

For Threema Libre from the Threema third party Fdroid repository.

    tango

    If wanting a second signal account in the same user profile would signal be the best option?

    Downloaded from Github and updated by Obtainium.
    (Self update only works over WiFi I believe)

    Thanks for your reply

          Can you explain a bit more what you would like to achieve? Do you know you can only have one Signal account per phone number? You can for example install Molly from Accrescent and link devices.

                tango

                Molly account with a phone number.
                Signal account with a different phone number.
                Same user profile.
                No WiFi only data.

                Considering signal apk only updates over WiFi.
                Is signal from github kept up to date with Obtainium a solution?

                (Sorry by second signal account I meant the first account was Molly)

                      This is specifically the fingerprint for the Fdroid repository (as stated on the linked page). This is to verify with the fingerprint that is shown when looking at the repository settings in-app (which I can see in Droid-ify as a correct match with the 57 34 E7 [...] fingerprint).

                          Thats fine, If you get the Signal APK direct from their website signal.org and drop that into Obtainium you should be good to go!

                              Ah OK, so that fingerprint is for the actual Threema F-droid Repo and not for the downloaded threema libre app?

                              Did you have a look in Appverifier app as well by any chance?

                                Its the same thing so that is fine yes.

                                  Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here.
                                  But does anyone know where else this "fingerprint?" Can be found so that it can be manually verified in the AppVerifier App?
