About this app
ObtainX builds on everything Obtainium does well — same sources, same trust model, same spirit — with a reworked UI and a set of features aimed at making everyday use a little smoother.
✨ New Features Features that don't exist in Obtainium at all.
📥 Bulk Import from Device — Select any apps already on your phone and ObtainX automatically finds their sources on stores you choose. No URL hunting, one by one.
📦 Installer choice — A Third-Party install path lets you send APKs to any installer you trust (InstallerX, App Manager, etc.). Particularly useful when you can't grant "install unknown apps" to normal apps — for example, under Advanced Protection — but a privileged installer can still do the job.
🕐 On-Demand Only mode — Mark an app so it's hidden from the main list and only checked when you explicitly open it. Keeps your main list clean if you have apps you rarely update.
📁 Folders — Create named folders to organise your app list. Apps in a folder are hidden from the main list to keep it decluttered. Folders can auto-assign apps via a rule (match by name, author, package ID, category, or source) or accept manual assignment via long-press. Each folder remembers its own view settings independently.
👆 Configurable swipe gestures — Left and right swipe actions are independently configurable per row. Choose from Update, Install, Pin, Edit, Delete, Open, App Info, or None. A color-coded icon hint appears during the drag so you always know what will happen.
🖼️ Custom app icons — Not happy with an app's icon or a blank placeholder? Tap the icon on any app's detail page to set your own — pick from your gallery or grab one from the web.
⚖️ Know the update size beforehand — See the exact download size for every update - across supported stores - before you even hit the update button.
⏭️ Skip Version — Pass on a specific release you don't want without marking the app as "updated." The next release will still show up normally.
🧩 Advanced filter / RegEx Assist — A built-in helper walks you through building regex filters on any field that supports them. No regex knowledge required. Full details in the Additional options guide.
↩️ Undo after delete — Swipe-to-delete and bulk-delete both show a 5-second Undo snackbar. Tap it and the app is fully restored.
💾 Save assets - Option to save update assets (e.g. APKs) to your chosen folder, during update process itself.
What's new
- ✨ New Features
- Supercharged Folders: Expanded rules beyond name and author to support every available filter condition — including source, category, installation status, update and track-only state. Non-installed apps from sources without their own icon now get an icon from other stores like F-Droid or APKMirror (if that app is available there).
- 🛠 Improved Features
- App detail page redesigned: build-verification, VirusTotal, and signing-certificate info grouped into a dedicated Security card; all store links consolidated into one Sources row; "last checked" now follows your device's date/time format. Add App tab reorganized into a single stacked launcher (add-by-URL, cross-store search, single-store batch search, device apps bulk-import, URL-list import, GitHub-stars import). These methods already existed, but on two different tabs — this relocates and unifies them. F-Droid reproducible-build verification now uses F-Droid's official verification reports, matched to the exact version. Store/source logos are now vector (SVG) — crisp at any size and correct in light/dark. Doing a search at home page now also shows apps that are in folders (separated by dividers). Made filters and folder management directly editable in expandable sheets, including removable filter chips, live match counts, and saving entire customized filters as folders. Third-party installer picker: Multiple activities of the same installer are grouped together and collapsed. e.g. App Manager. Reworked language/locale resolution so regional variants match correctly (e.g. Portuguese pt-BR no longer reverting to pt-PT). Now follows your device's system font (bundled font removed). Extreme system font/display scaling is capped so the layout doesn't break. Made the black / AMOLED theme a separate toggle option in Settings → Appearance, just like upstream Obtainium. Improved GitHub rate-limit handling recognizes more rate-limit responses and shows accurate wait times. Made backups more compatible with Obtainium while preserving ObtainX-only settings. Unsupported newer backups now show a clear update-required message.
- 🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed manual refresh checking hidden apps instead of only those visible in the current folder, search, filters, or On-Demand view. VirusTotal "install anyway" flow for flagged downloads. Fixed release notes displaying raw HTML line breaks or failing to render screenshots wrapped in common HTML elements.
