I wanted to connect a keyboard to my FLX1s Linux phone.
I first tried connecting a USB keyboard to it — but, I couldn't get it to work.
Others on the Furilabs Matrix / Telegram room suggested using a Bluetooth keyboard.
So, I purchased an inexpensive (CAD $13) Bluetooth key, and — it worked! 🙂

@organicmaps Thanks for maintaining a #flatpak Linux version - especially useful on #LinuxMobile.

My FLX1s (FLX1 slim) Linux Phone arrived 🙂
I pre-ordered it almost 1 year ago — on February 17th, 2025.
I was able to install the Tusky Mastodon Android client, using F-Droid, on the FLX1s Linux phone.
The FLX1s is NOT an Android phone, but can run some Android apps.
In fact, this post was using Tusky on the FLX1s Linux phone.
Someone reviewed the FLX1s Linux phone.
Someone started working on a guide for the FLX1s Linux phone.
There is pre-installed app on the FLX1s Linux phone that works well as a Matrix client app — Chats.

It seems to take a while for the FLX1s Linux phone to notice it has been plugged into a charging cable.

I was able to install NewPipe via F-Droid on the FLX1s Linux phone.
(Thanks to @Sturmflut for the suggestion.)
I will take a long time to (manually) transfer over all my subscriptions.
UPDATE: most of app seems to work, but I cannot watch videos — I either get a error or they don't play.

I tried getting FreeTube working on the FLX1s Linux phone, but couldn't. At least, not so far.
It installs, but — it doesn't open.

The "Mobile Settings" app was a bit confusing when I first tried to use it.
It just showed me a more-or-less blank screen.
Eventually, when I swiped on the screen, it took me to a menu.
I think it should have shown me the menu immediately. (What was the point of the blank screen from a user-experience (UX) point of view.)
But, either way, I got it working. And, tweaked some things.

F-Droid is currently a bit buggy on my FLX1s Linux phone.
It keeps on asking me to "Allow F-Droid to send you notifications?" over and over again, the bottom menu buttons cannot be tapped (what is under them gets tapped), and the search button cannot be tapped either.
Is anyone else also having these issue?
I assume they will get resolved eventually.

I turned on my new FLX1s Linux phone.

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)
@Tutanota Linux mobile is the only long term solution. I'm using @postmarketOS on a #Librem5 and all important things work for me.
#Furiphone #FLX1 and #Jolla2c can also be decent options for most people as they have Android app compatibility set up out of the box.
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!
