The release of the mobile platform \/e\/OS 1.17 has been announced, aimed at preserving the privacy of user data. The platform is created by Ga\u00ebl Duval, the founder of the Mandrake Linux distribution. The project provides firmware for many popular smartphone models and offers editions of smartphones under the brands Murena One, Murena Fairphone 3+\/4, and Murena Teracube 2e, featuring the pre-installed \/e\/OS firmware. A total of 246 smartphones are officially supported. <\/p>\n

\/e\/OS firmware is developed as a fork of the Android platform (using developments from LineageOS), free from dependencies on Google services and infrastructure, which allows for compatibility with Android applications and simplifies hardware support while blocking telemetry transmission to servers<\/a> Google and ensuring a high level of privacy. Implicit information transmission, such as requests to Google servers for network availability checks, DNS resolution, and precise time determination, is blocked. <\/p>\n

To interact with Google services, a microG package is pre-installed, which eliminates the need for proprietary components and offers independent alternatives to Google services. For location determination via Wi-Fi and cell towers (without GPS), a layer based on Mozilla Location Service is used. Instead of the Google search engine, a custom meta-search service based on a fork of the Searx engine is provided, ensuring anonymity for submitted requests. <\/p>\n

To synchronize accurate time, the NTP Pool Project is used instead of Google NTP, while the DNS servers from the current provider replace Google's (8.8.8.8). By default, an ad blocker and a script blocker for tracking movements are enabled in the web browser. A proprietary service has been developed for synchronizing files and application data, which can work with infrastructure based on NextCloud. The server components are based on open-source software and are available for installation on user-controlled systems. <\/p>\n

The user interface has been significantly redesigned and includes a dedicated environment for launching applications, BlissLauncher, an improved notification system, a new lock screen, and other stylistic enhancements. BlissLauncher features a specially developed set of automatically scalable icons and a selection of widgets (for example, a weather forecast widget). <\/p>\n

The project is also developing its own authentication manager, allowing the use of a single account (user@murena.io) for all services, which can be registered during the initial setup. This account can be used to access your environment through the web or on other devices. Murena Cloud provides 1GB of free storage for storing your data, synchronizing applications, and backups. <\/p>\n

By default, the package includes applications such as an email client (K9-mail), web browser (Bromite, a fork of Chromium), a camera app (OpenCamera), an instant messaging app (qksms), a note-taking system (nextcloud-notes), a PDF viewer (PdfViewer), a task manager (opentasks), a maps application (Magic Earth), a photo gallery (gallery3d), and a file manager (DocumentsUI). <\/p>\n
