You can also download the APK file of Unstoppable Wallet from
GitHub.
Guess I did not explain properly. I meant that F-Droid only has a few Wallets for Cryptocurrencies so there are not many options you get. But Unstoppable Wallet is on there and that is amazing! For example. I just opened up F-Droid and searched for Cryptocurrency Wallets. The results are as following,
Unstoppable Wallet (updated within last month) (supports multiple Cryptocurrencies)
Bitcoin Wallet (updated a month ago) (only for Bitcoin)
Green Blockstream Wallet (updated almost 6 months ago) (multiple Cryptocurrencies)
These are all the options I have. There are a few more but I would not touch a Wallet that has last been updated more than half an year ago.
Does the status of the transaction change to confirmed after the 1st block confirmation your transaction gets or does the app wait for 2, 3, or maybe more? Would be great if the numbers could be adjusted through the settings. At least then you would know the minimum number of confirmations the transaction has.
I believe the confirmation status changes to Confirmed after the third block confirmation. Your suggestion would be great indeed.
That means you can even skip and ignore the warnings when you try to generate a new BTC address. I remember they ask you to make a backup first, but since you have avoided it and still used your wallet for transactions, they obviously don't ask you to reenter the words as proof they are backed up.
You know what! I created a new account to test this out and you are right! I can not even get a Receiving Address unless I back up my Seed Phrase. Yet, I can use another Wallet I already have. Does this mean I have already done the Backup someday? Now I am so confused!

You can also use open source AuroraStore if you want to use some apps that are not open source, and there are good alternatives for F-Droid as well, like IzzyOnDroid and Droid-ify that have more apps.
I chose not to install Closed Source applications on my phone. I did test Aurora Store before and it works just perfect for some body who wants just to move away from Google. IzzyOnDroid and Droid-ify, I have no idea about. Will have to check them out.
I don't know what degoogled phone you own, but Pixels with GrapheneOS work almost with everything, they even have imitation of all google services.
The issue is not about having or not having GS or replacements for the Services installed. It is that Open Source is not a very demanded type of software today. So if I want an actually good Wallet, I have little options. How many actually useful and good Open Source Bitcoin Wallets are there? Count Mycelium and Unstoppable and you got to about half of the truly decent ones already.
