Installing

There are two kinds of release:

Preview builds

Requirements: Android 8 Oreo or above

For users with bugs, there may be preview builds available from the XDA development thread and AdAway official website. It is recommended to try those builds to see if your issue is resolved before creating an issue. The preview builds may contain bug fixes or new features for new android versions.

Stable builds

After preview builds have been tested by the more technical or responsive community within the forums, we will then post the stable build to F-Droid.
