Nearly 100 000 users trust Murena and /e/OS. You could be one of them, up to you to choose. 👉 Choose freedom: murena.com #privacy

User quote by Yorgos, who forgot his device in the car, saying "Today I learned “Find my Device” is available on /e/OS! I love that I have this on my device without needing to rely on Apple, Google or any other centralised service that keeps my location at all times! You just text a special code to your phone number and you get an SMS with a link to an openstreetmaps pin where your device is!"

@murena How does "Find my device" work? Does the location needs to be activated all the time...?

    @murena Hi there. Is there a plan to propose another UI option,/ than the current one, which is too close to iOS to my taste?It is the reason why I have been using another custom ROM so far.

    @squidf Hello, The launcher we currently have is what we think will resonate with most users, but the beauty of /e/OS and Murena is that we encourage and stimulate digital freedom where we can! So you are very free to install and use a different launcher from F-Droid or another source!

    @murena I was more after getting something verified by /e/ But almost any up-to-date launcher should work, I guess. About 6 months ago, I tried your automatic installer with my fairphone 5 but the installation failed. I had to do it manually. What I noted is your installer was proposing the official image. But isn'it the community one I need to install, as I have bought my FP5 on fairphone site?

    @squidf Hello, don't hesitate to report this king of issues here so our team can fix it: gitlab.e.foundation/e/devices/. Feel free to try the Installer again now, all must be working well. As you noticed, you have to use the official image for better support especially concerning the third-party apps. From /e/OS installer only official builds are flashed.
