PSA: The Syncthing fork repo has very recently been taken by a new maintainer without notice from the old one. However, the new maintainer seems to be in possession of the old PGP keys, which has made a lot of community members cautious/suspicious.

I've also found another client for Android: syncthing tray, which seems to come from a popular client for desktop but it also supports Android.

Personally, I find it a good replacement, though its gui is slightly slower and it does not support all the features that syncthing-fork has.

Yep

Check out Termux and running it inside the termux terminal. It's the same package as what you'd get from apt and battery life has actually been better compared to the android fork. Need to manually start it after a reboot though.
