I received my Murena FP5 a few days ago and have been experimenting with it since. Overall I am really impressed by the quality of /e/OS and how well it runs on Fairphone. Most of my old usual apps are back and working flawlessly.
In regards of my original message :
Signal is working like a charm. Transferring my message history was a bit long but overall easy. For some reason, some of my Signal contacts profile pictures have disappeared. This is the only bug I experienced.
Proton Mail/Calendar : I didn’t have any problem installing, synchronizing and using them.
Bitwarden : works like a charm. I installed it in the personal profile, same as my old phone. The work profile used to be able to reach for personnal profile’s password manager, but apparently this is not possible anymore, at least on /e/OS. I might have to duplicate the app in my work profile. All thing considered, it is probably for the best.
Android device policy : this one is fun. It technically works. You can install it, launch it, interact with it. However, it doesn’t seem to be able to see my work profile. It is not invoked when connecting to my professionnal Google Workspace account through /e/OS’ account manager. It doesn’t seem to do anything at all. So… kinda not working ? Not a problem, though. I expected my Workspace account to refuse to sync if Android Device Policy was not found/used, but apparently no. I use Shelter and the MicroG Google Account compatibility tool, and everything is fine. My pro email and calendar are synced in /e/OS native apps, duplicated in the work profile, and all is fine so far. TBH I was expecting some kind of not-workingness here, and I am really impressed to see everything work like a charm.
Zulip IM works natively. The VoIP app was a weird one : a first attempt at it was unsuccessful, since App Lounge couldn’t find any app named “3CX” (Google Play and F-Droid as anonymous user). I gave up a few hours, and then tried again… and App Lounge found it in the first try. Now it works perfectly : calls are received and passed without a single miss.
Deezer and bluetooth Audio Technica headphones with AptX : zero problem at all.
KDE Connect : no problem either.
I’ll continue to try out some apps, I still need to reimport TOTP seeds I used to store in Authy, but I don’t expect much trouble here.
Again, very impressed and very pleased to have made the switch and place my confidence in Murena
