I was using Firefox, which has an option to ignore the warning and add an exception right on the certificate warning page. After the initial warning the web interface can be used without problems.

@mfya, I discovered a way of doing it on Chrome. Access this URL:

chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost

and click on Enable. You need to restart Chrome after that. Voilà, now we can surf ST Web interface without that annoying warning about invalid certificate.

PS: I found the answer in this article

More feedback - mostly positive:

@Zillode and @Nutomic The new official version 0.6.0 looks terrific. On one of my Android devices I just did a direct version update (using Google PlayStore) from the previous “official” version.

Process was flawless. Nice job - and thank you.

One correction from my earlier post. When I installed 0.11-6RC on top of 0.11-3 I did end up with 2 installed versions, just like you did. Sorry - I didn’t notice this potential issue until I re-read your post and checked.

One of the 2 installed versions had my data attached (several GB) and the other had virtually no data, so I uninstalled the version without data - and all was fine after that. (Looks like uninstall old > install new is a more reliable method than install on top of when dealing with these test and debug versions)

Then I did an export config, uninstalled 0-11-6RC, installed the new “Official” 0.6.0, followed by an import. All is working.

@marcelpaulo: thanks for the chrome explanation.

@Zillode and @Nutomic: I second @NickPyz: this looks terrific. I installed in one device (Android 4.4.2, stock) and I’ve checked CPU usage, and when the UI is closed, CPU usage is 2% or less (10 to 14% if UI kept on the foreground).

For those that have used the previous beta apk releases by @Zillode, I first tried removing the beta while keeping the data doing (from adb shell) pm uninstall -k com.nutomic.syncthingandroid but the installer kept complaining about the the version being incompatible. So I had to do a full uninstall (i.e., without the -k).

Thanks for shedding light !

0.6.0 was finally picked by F-Droid ! My upgrade path was similar to @NickPyz’s, with one difference: after generating the keys, ST crashed and kept crashing when I tried to start it, so I had to reboot the phone. This difference aside, after importing the configuration, ST on the phone connected and synced without problems with ST 0.11.2 on my Xubuntu 15.04 laptop.

I took 5-min long top readings, for comparison with previous builds: gui on the background, and no gui.

Thanks, @Zillode, for all the sweat poured into this new release !
