I think they can improve UI.
Gray Jay was awesome while it worked. unfortunately for me, YouTube sources simply spin forever instead of playing the video.
By “Developer of the Newpipe app”
Hmm…
Unverified
It’s a “No” from me. I’ll stick to Freetube.
For those unaware, being verified means it is packaged by the official developer/team.
If you look at the description you can see that they clearly say that it isn’t official:
NOTE: This is an unofficial and experimental Flatpak build based on Android Translation Layer. Please report bugs to the ATL bug tracker instead of the NewPipe bug tracker https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/issues.
Don’t know why they’d put “Developer of the Newpipe app” as dev though

My guess is that they did not want to take credit as the developer of NewPipe itself. As if to say “We did not develop NewPipe, we just packaged it as a Flatpak”. There is probably a better way to get that across in the byline, but I believe that is the intent.
malicious intent
One could also think that whoever packaged this was hurried while filling a form, and wanted to provide credit where it was due. So, maybe they were on the best of their intents… We don’t know.
If I were to use this, I would check other apps from same uploader. Or better, see what permissions are being asked…
In any case, trusting blindly github contributors on teamnewpipe organization is not extremely different.
Trust and credibility are volatile and freely given. It’s youtube, not my bank account ;p
This is great news.
Android translation layer is interesting. Well, at least I personally like this approach more than that of waydroid. Also would be nice to see the performance of that with binfmt compared to that of waydroid + libhoudini
Is the android translation layer good enough to run games? And I wonder how we could manage controls for example in like codm.
According to the Gitlab repo for the Android transition layer, yes.
The images in gitlab look mouse controllable. I should’ve phrased my question better. I was wondering how keyboard was translated. I could test it myself but I’m 99% sure codm wont work.
Unverified… Nope. No install for me.
What is Flathub?
It is an appstore for Flatpaks. Flatpaks are a universal app package for Linux that runs in a sort of containerized environment. They’re very prolific in the immutable linux world.

Finally
Someone let me out of my cage
…The Rock has come back to Flatpak!
Does this run on x86/64 bit systems? Or this is for Linux smartphones more.
It says:
Available Architectures
aarch64, x86_64And it uses Android Translation Layer. Interesting. I’ll give it a shot on my desktop later.
