How to install it on the FP3
Install /e/ on FairPhone FP3 - FP3 | /e/ documentation
Privacy ratings of apps: https://exodus-privacy.eu
Alternative launchers:
- KISS launcher
- Simple launcher
I recommended you add these apps:
- Antennapod - podcast client
- FairEmail or simple email
- Fennec (Firefox)
- Signal
- newpipe for watching youtube without being tracked
Backup via adb is apparently broken | Not the fault of /e/!!
You cannot simply flash a new recovery, such as TWRP, to flash images or backup, instead, you can use this method
