nottheengineer,

The package name is correct, but signal was never on F-droid.

Do you have a third party repo that might be compromised?

Edit: Package name isn’t correct, so that’s almost definitely a compromised version. Get rid of it ASAP.

otter,

org.thoughtcrimes.securesms

It actually might not be, googling “org.thoughtcrimes.securesms” doesn’t get results.

thoughtcrimes vs. thoughtcrime

My question though is how this popped up in droidify, would someone need to manually add some special repo?

nottheengineer,

I missed that, thanks for pointing it out. The one without S is the correct one.

But that makes me wonder, how did OP not end up with two signal apps then?

Blizzard,

Turn off Play “Protect”.

DAT,

In most cases I’d be the first to support your idea.

but here it actually blocked malware?

Blizzard,

Didn’t notice the “droid-ify” part, whatever that is. Install apps from trusted sources like F-Droid or dev’s website and you don’t need Google to scan your phone and tell you what you can or cannot install.

mapletree,

Droid-ify is just a different client for F-Droid. It should be safe and uses the same repositories

PropaGandalf,

I really like droid-ify. Its a nice, good-looking alternative to fdroid. Also I’d advice to use molly foss instead of the original signal app.
