f-droid privileged extension not appearing on ROM based on Android 8.1.0
I'm trying to install the f-droid privileged extension OTA zip, but after flashing it in TWRP, when I open F-Droid, the 'Expert mode' in the settings doesn't show the extension option.
Hardware/System
Xiaomi Mi A1
AOSiP 5.6 ROM - Oreo 8.1.0
Magisk 16.0
Steps I took....
- Installed the FDroid.apk downloaded from https://f-droid.org/en/
- Booted into TWRP and flashed the org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070 downloaded from here; https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota/ org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota_2070.zip
Rebooted back into ROM, started F-Droid for the first time, went to settings, Expert Mode, and nothing...
My understanding, this is all you need to do, install F-Droid, boot into TWRP recovery flash the OTA zip, and it should work?
Am I missing something here, why isn't this working?
Because when I look at the NanoDroid F-Droid zip, the directory layout/structure isn't the same;
https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/ NanoDroid-fdroid-17.1a.20180507.zip
Maybe this OTA zip doesn't work properly for custom roms running Oreo 8.1.0?
Thanks
