Best matrix client for android

Title + I know best is subjective but why you prefer your one.

Also is there something as minimal as hydrogen website.(Small talk is not a complete client probably)

Element X

Is there a way to get Element X via fdroid?

solaryth@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 2y

Not yet. But you can use Obtanium to get it from github releases.

I wonder why the developers don't create a release for F-droid?

I've tried every Android app out there and Element X is truly the fastest of them all. I'm talking about applications for Matrix, of course.

I hope the application remains fast after adding all the features.

@Slow @solaryth because element x is the dev version of element. You can find element on fdroid. Once it's ready element will become element x, afaik.

Many developers post their dev-alpha-beta versions of applications on various platforms.

I think the fastest application of the old Matrix was Syphon, which was not updated for a long time. But I also used SchildiChat.

The most negative opinion about itself was kept by the application SmalTalk. Despite being minimalist, the size of the application grows larger over time. In addition, the application froze forever during synchronization - I had to delete it and install it again.

@Slow did you see that that's the SC version based on element-x?

Thanks, I didn’t know about this fork. But I think 258 megabytes is a lot for a messenger.

I am currently using SchildiChat after I used Fluffychat and Element for a while.

All work fine, but Schildi looked best, when I last compared them.

Schildi and Element also have great, similiar looking desktop clients.

I also prefer schildi over original element

Shildi it's Element with some design changes, don't be so naive.

Okay, so I upgraded our server and tested Element X and it is really basic at the moment and also has rich text mode as input mode. This was already buggy in element, but had to be toggled on. Now it's always there and has errors...

Try doing a line break after an emoji and then write something, to see what I am talking about.

A bug report has been submitted for that here.
