Hi all,
As part of the announcement of The Fairphone (Gen. 6) today, we are happy to also announce that most of the source code for the Android 15 operating system is also available today!
“If you can’t open it, you don’t own it.”
From the very beginning Open Source software has been an important topic for Fairphone – it’s part of our history and DNA. On every smartphone we produce and sell – we publish as much source code as we legally can. Here you go for The Fairphone (Gen. 6), all the sources we can publish, and this time from day 1. We want to build trust with our community, support the software long after the phone is launched, and put the users in control of their phone. So please, use it, contribute, fork it and let’s all embrace alternative software routes.
You can find instructions for browsing, viewing and downloading the source code on code.fairphone.com. The source tree contains all Android and Linux kernel sources that we can publish, excluding some proprietary components. The public source tree also does not contain proprietary third-party apps such as the Google Mobile Services.
For now the sources are not buildable yet, this will follow at a later stage.
Let us know if you have any questions or feedback!
