Apps, widgets, themes, software​

Fairphone Launcher on Google Play by LuLeBe

Peace of Mind+, A fork of Fairphone's app by mudar1488. Find out more on Google Play, GitHub, development website, XDA portal

Known issues​

Serial number: It seems that the serial number is not a valid serial number, but the standard number 0123456789ABCDEF (solution below)

Google Maps API: Apps which take advantage of the Google Maps API are currently incompatible with the Fairphone (e.g. DB Navigator, Öffi - Fahrplanauskunft) (solution below)

Device wiggles: If you touch the device if its laying on a flat surface, it wiggles unacceptably. The reason is the popping out speaker grill on the bottom right and the camera and LED module at the top left, both on the backside.

1 GB limit for apps: There is a limit of 1 GB for app installation. Of course, you can move installations to the SD card or use managing apps like Link2SD[/URL.

Q&A discussion - You ask, Kwamecorp replies​

First Fairphone OS version is based on Android 4.2.2

The widgets of Fairphone OS will be released as open source, they will be uninstallable and the system comes without bloatware. (I am really impressed!)

Q&A discussion - You ask, Fairphone replies​

OSB-OTG is working with the Fairphone

Fairphone firmware updates possibly available OTA, updates will be available as long as possible, also stock Android available on launch. No tablet planned right now, currently focusing on the smartphone only. First prototypes not to be expected before October.

Front side Dragontrail Glass, backside cover to reveal the battery/SIM cards is silver steel, the rest made of plastic.

Screenshots​

Teardown - Cleaning the backside of the camera lens cover

Opening metal backsided lid.

Removed battery, SIM card and micro SD card.

Close-up of the dusty camera lens cover.

After removing five screws, you can remove the frame which covers the circuit boards.

Removing the frame was a difficult and hard work, as it is clipped very tough and tight. If you have the right tools, don't be afraid, but still be careful.

Picture from inside after cleaning. The square black rubber around the lens cover does not protect well. It probably is just too thin.

Other than that, the whole circuit boards and all electronic components where dusty on the top of the device. Possible reasons: USB port, earphone jack, power button

Benchmarks

Fairphone OS Screenshots

Beginning with a journey through some system setting screens.

Next up some memory screenshots an a switch on/off timer, I think for the automatic on/off scheduler.

System tool and Google Maps API

CPU-Z and an app for public transportation like DB Navigator. I did not find DB Navigator in the Store, but Öffi - Fahrplanauskunft was found on the Fairphone. As this app is similar to DB Navigator, it's not compatible due to recent mentioned problems with the Google Maps API. There is already a detailed solution for the Google Maps API issues by [MENTION=5082028]MrJekyll[/MENTION].
