Question

AnkiDroid can use the new backend and the V3 scheduler is available with it. Have you started doing any tests with this functionality?

I don't have Android device. You can track it here:

• [Feature request] Add support for the custom study feature recently implemented into Anki (2.1.55) ankidroid/Anki-Android#12620

Let me clarify. The v3 scheduler is available in AnkiDroid since about a year (if you consider the alpha releases also). But, no version of AnkiDroid currently supports the custom scheduling feature of Anki. This means that FSRS can't work in AnkiDroid yet.

I think that the AnkiDroid team aims to implement most of the features from Anki (incl. custom scheduling) in v2.17.

@L-M-Sherlock, in the FAQ Q1, mention this:

AnkiDroid currently supports the v3 scheduler, which can be enabled through an advanced setting. However, it doesn't support custom scheduling yet, which is required for FSRS to work. AnkiDroid is expected to support FSRS in v2.17.

Till then, you can enable the "auto-reschedule after sync" option in the FSRS helper add-on. This way, when you sync your reviews from AnkiDroid to Desktop, they would be automatically rescheduled according to the FSRS algorithm. For best results, it is recommended to sync the reviews daily.

However, if you only use AnkiDroid, you're out of luck.

Then, close this issue.

Done.
