The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.
Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

Same here. It was already a little bit concerning that I was relying on a smaller fork to get syncthing on Android. It was on my to do list to figure out options. Now it’s at the top of the list, and I’m not doing updates for the time being on Android. That’s almost the entirety of my reliance on syncthing - phone to PC sync. I don’t really need it that much for sync between PCs.
I said this in another thread, but apparently it’s not widely known: syncthing works fine on termux, there is no need to install any third party code. You do need to run
termux-setup-storageto get access to the shared storage that other apps can access, and I found it worth it to set up the termux:boot app to runsyncthingon phone boot. This way only uses the official syncthing repo.I have heard that. Can it be given run conditions, like only on wifi, and respecting the Android battery saving setting?
My phone has an always on split tunnel VPN to home, so the other sync devices are always accessible. Without the Syncthing-Fork run conditions it chews through mobile data and battery.
You’ll have to brew your own run conditions I think. For me, it’s not a big deal, just a bunch of documents and pictures and not much gets added every day. But termux does have access to network state, and I’m pretty sure syncthing accepts stop and continue execution signals, so a shell script shouldn’t be too difficult. Another possible option is to use termux:tasker.
Thanks for the tips, was planning on trying this out.
