Thanks @Arathorn. That's great to hear an FDroid candidate's available. Great turn around! The only device I'd have to test it on right at the moment, unfortunately doesn't take 3rd party APKs (FDroid's been signed, but I'm reluctant to otherwise open that particular device). Will see what else I can pull together. I could sign the APK with my own OS build, but then I'd miss OTA updates (so a different security risk). MicroG sounds a good option. As for Copperhead specifically, I don't think MicroG will be on the table for a while though. Another push would be ideal I suppose (but I know you need to balance priorities).

Hi @Arathorn, the battery drain of that experimental build is certainly noticeable, but not disastrous. In 18 hours on a new Nexus 6p, it's drained the battery 30%. Conversations.IM by comparison had only drained 1%. The next biggest battery drain on that device to Vector, had only taken 3%. I think it's still viable enough for an early release to FDroid for the time being, but with a warning. The fact that you can also turn its background sync on or off, means it's quite fine for the casual reading use case, without notifications one.
