The release of the mobile platform \/e\/OS 4.3, focused on user data privacy, has been announced. The platform is founded by Ga\u00ebl Duval, the creator of the Mandrake Linux distribution. The project supports 287 smartphone models and creates firmware builds for the most popular among them. Based on smartphones from OnePlus, Fairphone, Teracube, HIROH, and Pixel, custom editions of devices are prepared and distributed with pre-installed firmware \/e\/OS under the brands Murena One, Murena 2, Murena Fairphone 4\/5\/6, Murena Teracube 2e, Murena Pixel 5\/7, and Murena SHIFTphone 8. <\/p>\n

\/e\/OS firmware is evolving as a branch of the LineageOS platform (based on Android), free from ties to Google services and infrastructure to eliminate telemetry transmission to Google servers and enhance privacy. Among other things, it blocks implicit information transmission, such as requests to Google servers when checking network availability, resolving DNS, and determining the exact time. <\/p>\n

The package includes microG, which offers independent analogs of Google services, allowing users to avoid installing proprietary components. For location determination via Wi-Fi and cell towers (without GPS), the UnifiedNlp layer can work through BeaconDB, OpenWlanMap, openBmap, OpenCellID, lacells.db, and other alternative services. Instead of Google\u2019s search engine, the meta-search service Murena Find is offered based on the Qwant search engine. <\/p>\n

To synchronize the exact time instead of querying Google's NTP server, requests are sent to servers from the NTP Pool collection, and DNS servers from the current provider are used instead of Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8). The web browser defaults to having an ad and tracking script blocker enabled. For syncing files and application data, a proprietary service has been developed, compatible with Nextcloud-based infrastructure. The server components are based on open-source software and available for installation on user-controlled systems. <\/p>\n

The user interface includes a custom environment for launching applications, BlissLauncher, an improved notification system, a new lock screen, and different styling. BlissLauncher features a set of automatically scalable icons developed for \/e\/OS and a separate selection of widgets (for example, a widget for showing weather forecasts). <\/p>\n

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

The included applications are: the Mail client (a fork of K9-Mail), the Cromite web browser (based on Chromium), the OpenCamera application for camera work, QKSMS for instant messaging, nextcloud-notes for note-taking, MJ PDF viewer, opentasks planner, Magic Earth for maps, gallery3d for photo gallery, file manager, and the App Lounge application catalog. <\/p>\n
