It seems as if my FuriLabs FLX1 Linux phone has shipped 🙂

So, my beloved OP6t broke today (screen damage) and since i will now retire it to be a #MobileLinux test device.
What i want from a successor device:
- repairability
- close to mainline linux
- waydroid with working bluetooth

So the question is, does such a device exist?
I know about the #FuriLabs #FuriFLX1, which does run on halium/no mainline and has no repairability afaik. Other "android first" phones usually lack hardware support.

Update 13.0.9 https://furilabs.com/update-13-0-9/

Includes support for two-way clipboard, new fingerprint, store and flashlight daemon, support for Pipewire camera and V4L2 camera fixes. Firefox fixes and many system and kernel improvements.

is it too late to join the #pipewire party? i hope not, or else my #flx1 will be sad

all applications that use pipewire can finally utilize the camera (adding to our list of v4l, qtmultimedia and android apps)

one issue we are facing is that aperture is not very happy with the back cameras, so applications like #GNOME snapshot or authenticator will have the preview flipped. captured frames are surprisingly not flipped tho:

for this months updates, we are reworking our fingerprint setup entirely. the daemon (Biomd) is now written from scratch and no longer links against QT or libhybris.
while at it, i ended up writing a PAM module and a provider for #Fprintd which means all existing applications that use Fprintd will now work with our service.

one thing i wanted to experiment with was parallel PAM instances for stuff like sudo, so here is how far i got in about an hour

#furilabs #flx1 #LinuxMobile #furiphoneflx1

in an attempt to achieve the highest app compatibility known to man, i ended up writing a daemon that allows to install, configure and run #UbuntuTouch applications on our beloved #flx1 and it actually turned out pretty nice.

this is yet another service/client setup where now the store server is refactored to work alongside android-store (used to install android apps) to lower memory usage and the client is a #GNOME software plugin

Does anyone have the Furilabs FuriPhone FLX1?
It looks like it's the best Linux Phone on the market right now. Is it "daily driver" stable? And would you recommend it for that?

#FLX1 #FuriPhone #Furilabs #Linux #Linuxphone

welp thats two for two.

hopefully we can have #sailfishos with VoLTE on release too very soon

ah yes i should add, if anyone is interested in bringing their distro feel free to contact us through our contact form (https://furilabs.com/contact/), and we will be happy to consider all requests if they help grow the ecosystem with more *mobile linux* options
