The only way to obtain those privileges is to become a system app. This is where the Privileged Extension comes in - being a separate app and much smaller, it can be installed as a system app and communicate with the main app via AIDL IPC. This has several advantages: * Reduced disk usage in the system partition * System updates don't remove F-Droid * The process of installing into system via root is safer Instead of this build, most users will want to install the "Over-The-Air" (OTA) update zip file is called [[org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota]]. .
