It's FOSSA surprise collab just happened.
slamrI have a Fairphone and the biggest gripe I have with it is Android. I still can't believe Fairphone haven't read the room and provided and alternative privacy based option out of the box without having to flash firmware and risk bricking your phone. this is interesting
John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺I use a Fairphone 4.
The Fairphone 6 can be ordered with Android or /e/OS .

yeh I know but that means buying a new phone again. I'm on FP5 and probably won't buy another one cause they have missed the boat for too long on this and not listened to their users who have asked for a privacy based OS out of the box for years

Maybe you should have searched a little more when you bought your FP5.
I have a FP3 running e/os , I bought it with e/os on it. I bought it 5 years ago (running version 1.09 at that time I think) , even before the FP4 existed.
I bought it directly on the web with e/os, I did not flash anything !!
It is am now running e/os 3.5 - not a single problem, except a screen an a battery change.
The company that sold the FP3 to me changed its name and is now murena, but I got a full support all along.

@ma_delsuc @johnlogic @itsfoss
are you able to run apps on it? my FP4 just became unusable
@slamr @johnlogic @itsfoss oh yes.
Except the GPS app (maps) has stopped working a few releases ago.
I don't care, I use Comaps which is very good;
And City mapper that never worked (too many trackers ?)
