Hello,

I would like to see this great app in F-Droid. F-Droid is an app store in which only FLOSS apps are offered. If the app is not included in the official F-Droid repo for the time being, it could also be included in IzzyOnDroid's / @IzzySoft's repo, which is also used by many F-Droid users.

Are there any metadata (description, screenshots, icon) available? What are the differences between the cn_* and the other versions at the releases? F-Droid won't permit including *.jar as it's done here (needs to build from source). And F-Droid as well as my repo won't permit this:

Offending libs:
---------------
* Weibo (/com/sina/weibo/sdk): NonFreeNet
* Bugly Android SDK (/com/tencent/bugly): NonFreeComp,Tracking
* Umeng (/com/umeng/analytics): NonFreeComp,Tracking

3 offenders.

Non-free (aka proprietary) components. And for my repo, especially Tracking with a privacy app. The Umeng one even is one counted as very risky.

The app with cn_ is in Chinese, the other in English.

Thanks! Thought so but wasn't sure. Could have been a special variant for mainland. So that leaves the need for a pure foss build.

I am about to install, but... I wonder what those libs are needed for?
Please developer(s), explain the dependency.
Tracking should not be part of any VPN solution - this is what I think.

Social Intergrating
Automatic crash/bug reporting
Compability telemetry I think, this is a AIO solution so it's counted as risky because of other components included in it.

I'd never install any app coming with Umeng (or any other offensive tracker), because Umeng. I count this one as quite offensive. And while I did not yet dig into the Weibo one, my guess is it comes at the levels of Facebook.

That said, whatever carries the NonFreeComp anti-feature can hardly be checked on what it's really doing, because the source is not available to check.
