Installing

There are two kinds of release:
* The preview builds: on the bleeding edge of development - for testers or adventurous
* The stable builds: ready for every day usage - for end users


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

Requirements:
* Android Android 8 Oreo or above


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.




For devices older than Android 8 Oreo, use the version 4 of AdAway.
