Question How to install apps on Replicant


I am running a Samsung Galaxy Note II GT7100 with replicant OS that I bought on technoethical's online store.

Besides the fact that it came with a camera app that shuts down immediately upon starting and I have no way of writing my second language in SMS, in general I need to install some apps.

F-Droid wasn't installed as a default app.

How to install apps on Replicant?

I already did several web searches, including YouTube. The closest thing I can get is How to install replicant on a galaxy phone. What I want is how to install apps on above phone.

I tried going online with the phone's TPE-N150 USB Wifi, but the connection is really slow.

I am about to download apps to my laptop computer, and then copy over to SD-Card, then move sd-card into my phone. But this is slow.

Wink web connection

I took the phone to right next to the source of the internet signal, then reconfigured the connection by:
Wireless & Network
Wi-Fi
My Connection
After Forgetting and entering in the password, I got a connection with the default browser.

I then went to https://f-droid.org/ and downloaded/installed f-droid app.

From there the only thing I had to do was find the app I wanted from within the f-droid app.

But for reference, where are some good resources to find tutorials on how to use replicant phones? Nothing I can find of substance from a regular startpage web search!
