FuriPhone FLX1 Linux Phone · Update 13.0.9Our monthly update for April 2025, FuriOS 13.0.9 which includes support for two-way clipboard, new fingerprint, store and flashlight daemon, support for Pipewire camera and...

for this months updates, we are reworking our fingerprint setup entirely. the daemon (Biomd) is now written from scratch and no longer links against QT or libhybris.
while at it, i ended up writing a PAM module and a provider for #Fprintd which means all existing applications that use Fprintd will now work with our service.

one thing i wanted to experiment with was parallel PAM instances for stuff like sudo, so here is how far i got in about an hour

in an attempt to achieve the highest app compatibility known to man, i ended up writing a daemon that allows to install, configure and run #UbuntuTouch applications on our beloved #flx1 and it actually turned out pretty nice.

this is yet another service/client setup where now the store server is refactored to work alongside android-store (used to install android apps) to lower memory usage and the client is a #GNOME software plugin

as some might recall, we were working on a feature to allow multi booting different systems easily and without any hassle ( partitioning etc).

around that time we started to get in contact with known porters of different systems such as #UbuntuTouch and #sailfishos

after much effort and work, i can confidently say that the #flx1 will be added to the #UBports installer and OTA server soon allowing allow bare metal and multi boot installs!

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.

Continued thread

another update on this the battery has now dropped by 30% in 85 hours.

at this rate it the estimated 100 to 0 is roughly around 12.5 days. of course there is still room for optimizations so we can easily get it to 14 days of idle time, but i think this will do for this month.

so yes the rumors are correct (this was leaked on reddit a few days ago, oh well)

the #FLX1 will be getting support for hooking up to external displays. the difference here compared to other approaches is that it will be running full #GNOME shell instead of #Phosh desktop mode (with some integration). as much as we love Phosh, GNOME shell simply provides a superior experience on a large display (and our community members voted for this too)

@EdenIsASpood@mastodon.art It is 90% hardware issue.

With this phone your only issues are the small glitches when desktop apps does not fit to screen or are sometimes not-so-funny to use.

I have daily driven basicly all the options and none of the other options are no-where near to

All the other options are more "trust me it will work fine in the next five years". This will work today.
