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! 🙂

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.
@opensourceopenmind
Have not seen that before. What are the experiences running Android apps on it?
@grote
@kirschner @grote Depends what Android apps - FOSS apps from F-Droid or Obtainium should run without issue. There's a good review recently by @one_with_linux:

Sad to see this happening: #Google will now publish #AOSP only in Q2 and Q4, instead of every quarter before. See the note on https://source.android.com (thanks to @grote for the ping) #FreeSoftware #OpenSource
@kirschner @grote $499 for decent-spec Debian-based Linux phone that can run Android apps: https://furilabs.com/shop/flx1s/
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.
