Peace be with you guys 🌹
This is my first Fairphone with /e/OS and I’m really excited😊. It arrived within 3–4 days even though the estimated time was 2–3 weeks. That suprised me, because I live in Germany.
Everything came intact: headphones, screen protector, and phone case. They also included this little pin to get into the SIM tray slot, which I thought was great. There was no charger in the box but that’s intentional on their part. Doesn’t matter to me since all modern chargers work anyway.
It’s really easy to use and murena has its own browser. The default search engine is Qwant, which I don’t use because of Bing. But honestly, my main goal was F-Droid and using apps that reportedly won’t work on Google-certified devices starting in September. I’ve already downloaded my own apps like IronFox and I’m happy 😁.
Now I’d love to hear your opinion: I think Google has shot itself in the foot with this decision. By closing down Android further, more people will switch to de-Googled systems.
That’s my take, what do you think?🤔
well i’m “degoogling” & de-meta-ing. just an all around de-fascist-ing. & google went to the dark side awhile ago. i hope more people make the move. i just got mine yesterday and am liking it 💙
do you know any resources / tutorials? i’ve been exploring it, but i can’t find any tutorials except for setup and replacing parts. like, i want to add “pages” to my homescreen so i can organize apps and add some widgets. i can’t find anything for stuff like that. yet the phones in videos do that, so it’s possible. so far things are going well, but i’ve already almost filled my screen w/ apps & it’s too busy
It’s great that you’re boycotting all of that. And I also hope more people switch from Google. I talk about it constantly.
To your question: Unfortunately, I can’t help you with that. Sorry. I’m still exploring the system myself. Maybe you could create a post in the Fairphone community.
