Note for root users: In order to ensure that the previous blocking rules are preserved with the new blocking implementation, this update reads from the previous rules consequently increasing the loading time in the main window. This feature will be removed in the next release but can still be simulated by applying global rules in settings.

App Manager is now on the official F-Droid repo!

Link: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.AppManager

If you're already using App Manager from IzzyOnDroid repo, you will still get updates from there (which will be faster than F-Droid).

Notice: F-Droid uses it's own signing config to sign an app. So, if you're migrating from IzzyOnDroid to F-Droid, be sure to take a backup of your blocking rules first as you will need to reinstall the app.

SetEdit

SetEdit is a successor of 4A Settings Database Editor (also known as SetEdit) by 4A. SetEdit lets you view and edit certain Android settings which are useful for devices where these settings are hidden. It relies on a pre23 permission to edit some settings and therefore, it's target SDK is 22 despite being compiled with API 29. In newer Android versions, you may get a warning saying that the app may not work properly which you can safely ignore.

* App Manager Docs can still be translated at Crowdin as Weblate doesn’t have any support for Markdown texts.
* No new languages or strings will be added at Crowdin (again, App Manager Docs will remain unaffected) and existing translations will be kept until full switch is made
