NanoDroid is an installer for various OpenSource projects, most noticably Bromite WebView, F-Droid and OsmAnd. It supports all Android 4.4+ phones and all partition layouts (System-as-root, A/B) and can be installed as a Magisk module. NanoDroid also includes additional features (system debloating, init scripts, automatic logcat creation).
Furthermore it allows the user to do fine-graded installations using configuration files to choose what to install, or if several alternatives are available, which of them. See Installation below.
NanoDroid was previously called NanoMod (before version 16.0).
Weekly builds are available on Gitlab:
Since version 18.3.1 all releases hosted on nanolx.org contain a SHA256 checksum and GPG signature to check their validity. AFH does provide the SHA256 checksum on the downloads summary page, but does not allow to upload a GPG signature.
You can verify the checksum with the public GPG key:
- download the public key from photonic.asc
- import it using
gpg --import photonic.asc
- import it using
- download and import using
gpgfrom pgp.mit.edu:gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv B0ABCE622A077B584B81339E340FD70EFFC52B26
gpg --verify NanoDroid-19.0.20181027.zip.sha256.sig
sha256sum -c NanoDroid-19.0.20181027.zip.sha256Additionally, you may want to ensure the signing date is close to the release date.
