The release of the mobile platform \/e\/OS 2.0, aimed at preserving user data privacy, is now available. The platform was founded by Ga\u00ebl Duval, the creator of the Mandrake Linux distribution. The project provides firmware for many popular smartphone models, as well as under the brands Murena One, Murena 2, Murena Fairphone 4\/5, Murena Teracube 2e, and Murena Pixel 5, offering editions of smartphones from OnePlus, Fairphone, Teracube, and Pixel with pre-installed \/e\/OS firmware. The platform supports 250 smartphones. <\/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 package called microG is preinstalled, allowing users to avoid proprietary components while offering independent alternatives to Google services. For locating via Wi-Fi and cell towers (without GPS), UnifiedNlp is utilized, which can work through OpenWlanMap, Mozilla Location Service, openBmap, OpenCellID, lacells.db, and other alternative services. Instead of Google\u2019s search engine, there is a proprietary meta-search service based on a fork of the Searx engine, ensuring anonymity for submitted queries. <\/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, it includes applications such as an email client (K9-mail), web browser (Bromite, a fork of Chromium), camera app (OpenCamera), instant messaging app (qksms), note-taking system (nextcloud-notes), PDF viewer (MJ PDF), task planner (opentasks), maps app (Magic Earth), photo gallery (gallery3d), and file manager (DocumentsUI). <\/p>\n
