Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (25/2025): Packed with Goodies
https://linmob.net/weekly-update-25-2025/

This week really was something: #postmarketOS ship 25.06 (which, among other things, adds systemd) and work to reverse-engineer #VoLTE, #FuriOS 13.1.0 lands with Open-Store support (for #UbuntuTouch apps) and plenty of other improvements, #PlasmaMobile share detailed log of all the fixes and improvements they managed to land in the past year (and what's to come), Jolla announce free #SailfishOS updates for all #JollaC2 customers, I managed to interview #Liberux about their Nexx phone - but there's way more still, including a packed Apps section. Enjoy!

FuriOS 13.1.0 includes support for installing apps from the OpenStore (https://open-store.io/), changing encryption password, installation of Ubuntu Touch dual boot and Android quick settings. This release also fixes some GPU crashes, modem crashes, MMS issues and fingerprint stability improvements and kernel updates to improve overall system stability and performance.

For more information see https://furilabs.com/update-13-1-0/

FOSS mobile OS FuriOS has been updated to version 13.0.9 The update includes updates to Gnome, bug fixes, support for two way clipboard, and more. I was able to upgrade my FLX1 from 13.0.8 to 13.0.9 simply with a couple rounds of "sudo apt update" and then "sudo apt upgrade". I had no issues with my upgrade.

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (16/2025): Counting Easter Eggs

https://linmob.net/weekly-update-16-2025/

Solid furios 13.0.9 upgrade!
1. with pipewire decoder and other gnome/ gtk camera apps can now connect to built in flx1 camera and it works (still have to toggle camera on/off once prior to use at times so not fully debugged and switching back camera 1/2 and back not wired up correctly)
2. with phosh 0.46 and other updates feels like it runs more stable and polished when switching apps and its nice to have the lock screen wallpaper
3. android apps seem to scale more consistently

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:

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

(1/n)

after many days of work, here is another functional demo of #GNOME shell running on the secondary display connected to the #flx1. it took many hours to build the app and make everything act nice and not crash and integrate cleanly. still a long way to go but i think it is a good time to showcase the progress in the past 7 days.

i hope to get this ready and done by 13.0.9 which is the next release but obviously no promises.

Docker on your FLX1. A seamless experience non existent on iPhones and Android.

#FuriOS update 13.0.8 for #FLX1 has been delayed by about 10 days, but you why was this?

I decided to find the reason for the battery drain here is what we found

firstly, packagekit is a battery hog, so we wrote a #GNOME software plugin for aptkit for system updates, second was related to modems mainloop being blocked (sometimes and inconsistently) and not going to sleep and last (the hardest to find) was with the WiFi driver not going to sleep correctly.

All fixed up and landing this month!

Batch
Batch #2 will be a much improved release as it will have a smoother experience in all ways thanks to our continued hard work and our QA team for donating their time.

To summirise, it can absolutely be a daily driver! It wil be for me. Relative to expectation, it is a great device! I am very happy with my purchase and a big thank you to Furi Labs for all the work on this. Five stars! If you want me to post about other features or have questions, let me know.

This is a review of a FLX1 phone. I am located in USA and as a phone it works fine (I use T-Mobile). Calls and messages work well, although sound is not very loud, it is very clear. Android works out of the box! Not every app will install, let alone fully functional, but because it runs inside of container apps might not have access to everything they need. Then there are apps that look for google services...
