You should enable "Include pre releases" option after pasting the link and before trying to install it. I think since the app version is still below 1.0, its considered a pre release somehow.

Action launcher (paid version) is my go to, some features I love about it:

• Allow for a desktop grid of up to 12*12, which I havent seen on any other launchers I have tried, I believe Nova had something similar, but not sure to this degree.

• The brilliant folder icon being the shortcut to the app which was the first app to have been put in it feature. You can later shuffle the app around to change it, of course. You swipe down on the folder icon to reveal the items inside like usual, but if you just tap on it, the app which is first in the list opens up, a very good time saver in my opinion.

• Widget stack is a cool feature also, where you can add similarly sized widgets to a single block of space on which you can scroll through to see the information as it suits you.

• Customization level is very high, you can have a dock, a drawer, and also a quick drawer which is a vertical list of apps, and all of these simultaneously too.

• A high level of gesture support. My phone just got an update where I have to swipe down from different sides to see notifications and quick settings, which are not changeable by default. With the action launcher settings I have sort of found a work around.

It allows me to have a minimal looking desktop with a lot of functionality and a high degree of customisation, very much worth the price.

I agree, I was very excited about a foundation show being made, being a fan of the entire timeline Asimov created. But I gave up early in the show, especially after seeing how overdramatic every character was behaving and how R.Daneels identity was revealed without any preamble as to what role he had played in shaping the destiny of the entire human race. What you mentioned about how individuals becoming lynchpins in history was also a betrayal to what Asimov was trying to portray with his invention of psychohistory is spot on as well. I dont know how it turned out over all, but seems like its a hit and people like it. But the spirit of that whole universe Asimov created, was absent from the beginning of the show itself, and it was disappointing to see.

As I understand it, port forwarding is very much needed for torrenting when you're seeding. But in my case, I was curious about using a service like jellyfin for sharing my media to people I know over internet, a service which does require open ports.

That is what I wasnt able to wrap my head around, thank you for clarifying it for me. I will look through the posts and decide which one suits my needs and I can afford. Thank you again for your answer, and the links!

Dont know if you'll like what you will see if you decide to try it again, as another users famous comment stated, "enshittification spares no one" is at full play in two dots also. Although the devs do pump up updates regularly and add more and more levels. Just be prepared for an experience different from how it was a few years ago, if you are returning after a long interval!

Copying a response I made to a similar comment:

I, too was not able to reproduce the same result again.

When I tried to do the same search again, I had one column more dedicated to non ad space, namely, showing the description of the game. Dont know how I got that particular spread of ads galore at that particular moment.

Screenshot taken later with the same query:

My version of android is, indeed, an older one, and my region is India, I suppose all these factor into what I see when I search for stuff.

Theres a fork of f-droid with a slightly friendlier UI, called foxy droid, if you want to give it a shot!

I hope for your sake that they at least stick to that. The google approach seems to be that they are too big to fail and that they can keep doing what they want, and what they want, apparently is more space for ads!

Yeah precisely what I went through also, I have f-droid, Aurora store, even obtainium for those apps you usually get updates directly on their GitHub pages, going back to the Playstore has been a eye opener.

Whats the ad situation on app store, do they aggressively push stuff into your throats there as well?

I try to avoid using the official app as much as possible, usually manage with Aurora store, thats why it stood out to me how bad it has become of late when I just went to update my game. Not shocking, but disheartening.
