Yes, new beta 1.8.0pre7 is available in the Play Store and from this link:

https://crosswire.org/~scribe/bishop-1.7.907.apk

I've tried to do a first cut at many suggestions, including Marjan's 
install list by 'language' view.  I reused the display which was already 
there for half of it so it kindof is pieced together, but functionally I 
think it meets the desire to see all available modules across source 
more quickly.

Let me know what you think,

Troy
