Hi all, Some of you already played with the source code that we released on code.fairphone.com , and we are currently working on preparing a binary release. Interested FP2 owners can install this on their device without going through the trouble of compiling the operating system themselves. As this…

There’s an app in F-Droid which may cover your usecase: Transportr For the Google-jail problem, there is BlankStore, part of the NoGapps project (which evolved into microG project, microg.org ). But easiest is flashing the smallest of the Google Apps package (OpenGapps pico looks small enought). Y…

By installing even a minimal set of google tools you give away the freedom you got by installing the open source version. Ideally the thing to do is to convince NS and such that …

[image] Lidwien: I am wondering if something like Evozi’s APK Downloader is an alternative, considering malware etc.? Update: I rewrote this because it looks like it caused misunderstandings @keesj . [Using apps like NS reisplanner that use the Google framework … ‘without’ Google] There is n…

@keesj and @fp1_wo_sw_updates thank you both. As I have Linux (Fedoria) on my computer I love to have Fairphone Open Source OS on my Fairphone. Hopefully the tests are succesfull and the release is soon there.
