The project is also are provided firmware for many popular smartphone models and are offered editorial offices of Fairphone 3/4, Teracube 2e and Samsung Galaxy S9 with a pre -installed platform/E/OS. In total, the project is officially supported by 269 smartphones.
Firmware /E /OS is developing as a branch from the Android platform (used Lineageos developments), delivered from linking to Google services and infrastructure, which allows you to maintain compatibility with Android applications and simplify equipment support, and on the other hand to block The transfer of telemetry to Google servers and ensure a high level of confidentiality. The implicit sending of information is also blocked, for example, an appeal to Google servers when checking the availability of a network, DNS resolving and determining the exact time.
A Microg Pack is preinstalled to interact with Google services, which allows you to do without installation of proprietary components and offers independent analogues instead of Google services.

Instead of the Google search engine, its own meta -risk service based on the engine for the engine Searx , which ensures the anonymity of the sent queries.
For synchronizing the exact time, instead of Google NTP, NTP POOL PROJECT is used, and instead of the DNS-servers, Google (9.9.9.9)-the current provider. The default web browser includes an advertisement lock and scripts to track movements. For synchronization of files and data of applications, your own service has been developed that can work with infrastructure based on NEXTCLOUD. Server components are based on open software and available for installation on systems controlled by the user.
another a feature the platform is a substantially redesigned user interface, which includes its own environment for launching applications blisslauncher
