You install "Aurora Store" from "F-Droid". It lets you install non-open-source Android apps. Ones that you cannot live without and cannot "get" any other way.
Again, yes, the FLX1s can also run (many) Android apps.
This is where you would look last, if you cannot find what you want in "Software" or "F-Droid".
I am using FLX1 (not FLX1s). It is a great phone, but uninstalling some android apps (from Aurora store) leaves artifacts that I can't get rid of. Also it is not fully open source. I do have to restart android container often enough for apps to work properly, RAM gets clogged up enough to see messages about os killing various processes. I also stil have screen flickering when power button pressed quickly twice. It is not a perfect phone - but it is my daily driver.

"F-Droid" also comes pre-installed. F-Droid lets you install open-source Android apps.

You would install Android apps if you cannot find a native version or alternative in "Software".
This is where you would look second, if you cannot find what you want in "Software".

This is where you would look first for any app, or app type, that you want or need.

Somewhat recently I switched to using the FLX1s Linux phone (from an Android phone).
The FLX1s is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.
One thing that I find makes using it better is — having these 3 app stores installed:
• Software
• F-Droid
• Aurora Store

I had the original #FuriLabs FLX1 and liked it because it did what it said on the box and didn’t 'onboard' me with four cloud services and make me sign a wavier on first boot.
The #FLX1s feels like that phone, but with a better design. I’ll own it: I'm the guy who thinks thinner phones look cooler... In any case, I upgraded. It’s slimmer, has more RAM, and it lasts longer than my fold 7 so its better than good enough.

I switched my phone somewhat recently — from an Android phone to a FLX1s Linux Phone.
I am an early adopter — so there are some rough areas, but —
I am largely happy with the phone.
Especially given that it is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.
One nice thing though — for the apps where there is no Linux alternative, you can run (some) Android apps on it.

I visited the FuriLabs booth at FOSDEM 2026.
...
I showed them my FuriLabs FLX1s phone 🙂
...
I actually caused an issue with my FLX1s. @fakeshell on the @furilabs team fixed it!
Thank you @fakeshell !!

Awesome!
Loops may be available for and usable on the FLX1s Linux phone soon.
(The FLX1s is a non-Android (Linux) phone that can run some Android apps.)

We will be at FOSDEM 2026. Jan 31 and Feb 1.
Just look for our black flags with the Furilabs and VoidPhone logo’s on them. We will have a heap of phones to test and buy in person. We will have at least 3 people at the booth to answer all your FLX1S questions.
