Is it possible to install the Fairphone app in non-stock Fairphone OS?

I’m using Ubuntu Touch and it has Waydroid to run Android apps. Is it possible to install the Fairphone app inside it or I guess in any non-stock OS in general? It’s not really a big deal but I’m just curious because it would be nice to see it when I want to and check some things there :smile:
It’s not in the Play Store.

I have it on /e/OS, works fine.

How did you install it? It’s not in the PlayStore. Does Fairphpone provide an official APK?

Sorry for late reply. I have two apps from Fairphone: Fairbuds and Checkup. On /e/OS, they’re available in the App Lounge, whick comes with this spesific OS. I know nothing about the OS you’re running, sorry I can’t be of more help.

I see. Not familiar with App Lounge. Now I wonder if that’s installable on anything other than /e/. Also not sure if Checkup is the Fairphone app preinstalled in stock OS where you see things like how long you’ve been using your phone and some debugging tools.

For differentiation’s sake, there are these apps:

  • My Fairphone app – apparently what @kugiigi wants and not on any app store neither provided as an .apk by Fairphone, only partly functional on Custom ROMs. When I tried it 1-2 years ago (on my FP3 running /e/OS), accessing its “My device” (or just “Device”?) functionality always made the app crash.
  • Fairbuds app – available on app stores, works on Custom ROMs
  • Checkup app – basic hardware tests developed for the Fairphone :two: , not updated since 2018 or 2019, available on F-Droid, mostly and rudimentarily works on other phones as well (note the FP2 had just two microphones, so Checkup only includes two microphone tests, too)

Thanks for the clarification. I guess it is really not possible to get the My Fairphone app. Anyway, it’s not really a big deal, would have been nice though :slight_smile:

Hey see

Thanks @oli.sax for providing a link.

Did not work for me though as it says the app is incompatible:

FP4 here with CalyxOS 6/Android 15.

Interesting…
The file I provided is the one of the FP5, I wonder if it’s different app for FP4.
I’ll have to reinstall stock OS to my FP4 to check…

In the meantime @rugk please find (in the same link) the APK file that I provided to Urs in 2023. :slight_smile:

I installed C.136 Stock OS (FP4 Android 13) and the installed version of MyFairphone App is 3.0.11
So it seems that version 4 is only for FP5 (+FP6?)

Ah thanks yeah needed to refresh your link. It works now basically.

As others said the device page is broken. And I cannot even see the warranty page (it shows a 404), but my device is registered already anyway via the Fairphone website.
