Indeed. Why not merely create a repository for F-Droid if curation is desirable?

My wish is to be able to send emails from murena.io with a custom domain alias for professional use: having e-mail, calendar and address book in the same service is fundamental.

For sure, Android auto open source !!!

My functionality wishes for /e/ comprise:
-
Murena/ /e/OS email domains to act as decentralized single sign-on providers, in the way the ID4Me Protocol and the surrounding industry initiative envisions SSO (no SSO provider lock-in → possibility for data portability, etc.)
-
A functionality to transfer all Apps installed and data stored on the old /e/OS phone to a new /e/OS phone (e.g. Fairphone 3 to FP4) via Murena cloud - it should work as easy as in the case of Apple/iOS
-
Mobile payment with Murena /e/OS phones: the vision would be to be able to pay with the smartphone - via a digital girocard or debitcard - but without a big gatekeeper like Apple or Google being involved.
Thanks for this opportunity to bring in ideas, @Manoj !

Sometimes Manufacturer offer the Possiblity to save Battery-Lifetime by limiting the Charging Capacity. In Mind of Sustainability it would be nice /e/OS could offer this too. And if so, configureable at best.

Untested, need root: BatteryChargeLimiter/README.md at v1.0.0-bcl · MuntashirAkon/BatteryChargeLimiter · GitHub
Annoying is that there’s no sound notification for “charging completed” (and what this means should be configurable). The main damage happens when the accu is full but still being charged and charged and charged for hours because people just forget it. The accu of my old Blackberry Z30 survived seven years of daily use and is probably still good because I watched carefully for this.
BatteryBot Pro allows to configure percentages which play a sound when reached (for charge and also for discharge). You can set this for charging to 90 or 95%, and when you then charge longer for whatever reason it’s in your own responsibility.
I am pretty sure modern android versions do this automatically, no?
Nowadays electronics should handle that.

"Charging past 100 per cent will damage your battery
True (but not for the reason you think)
[…]
A ‘trickle charge’ mechanism cuts off the charger after the phone has reached 100 per cent charge, and only tops up the battery when it drops down a little.
The problem is that you’re keeping the charge level at 100 per cent which, as we know from the previous myth, puts the battery under a certain amount of strain. ‘It’s not good,’ Griffith says, ‘but the battery manufacturer has set [the battery’s limits] it so it shouldn’t be harmful.’"
Haven’t found this until now in /e/. I’m not even sure where these 15% are configured until the low battery notification comes.
Yes smu44, i know that there are a few solutions for this wish. But nearly all of them need to root your device and not everyone is capable of or wants this in cause of other trouble.
AnotherElk is right when says:
But this should be part of the system itself, so that every user could handle it.
While there are a lot of views, which maximum percentage is the right one, the user should be able to configure it by himself. The lowest percentage is not critical. Here you can often switch to power saving mode and preserve the battery from crash.
Possible to unlock the phone, Fairphone 4, with the camera like FaceID and not just with the finger.
Integrate maybe Mycroft to do actions with voice.

I am of the same opinion here. Since Mycroft has Michael Hansen working for them, they managed to develop a well-performing voice assistant that can be used online and offline. It guess it would be a better idea to integrate Mycroft into /e/OS than to try to invent the wheel newly with a self-developed voice assistant by Murena (i think “Elivia” was the project name).

I am using /e/ for some weeks now on a Samsung S5 neo and I am amazed how well it works. There is only one thing I really miss: Being a fan of audio books I frequently use the “onleihe” app which allows me to access e-media of my public library. Unfortunately DRM is not working so that I can’t play the audio books. The reason as far as I can understand is that the deviced certificates part of the original stock rom are lost or deleted after installation of the custom rom. It would be really nice to fix this!

@Jodazo Have you checked MicroG under system settings yet? I would suggest checking MicroG and enable both Google Device Registration and Google Safetynet. This may address the issue.
Hi @Seven , I just checked both settings and they were enabled as suggested. Anyway with the suggestion of https://community.e.foundation/t/wishlist-re-onleihe-s5-neo-drm/42888?u=jodazo it works now.
Thanks, Jochen

As my phone usage is fairly basic, my main annoyance right now is that volume control with bluetooth devices is kinda weird:
- I’ve got a Bose speaker for which each press of “+” on the phone leads to two volume increases (as if both the phone and the speaker itself tried to react at the same time). Using the built-in “+” button of the speaker sometimes does nothing, until you reach some kind of threshold where – poof – it suddenly gets a lot louder (idem for “−”).
- With a Sony headset (WH-1000XM3), there are also weird threshold-like phenomena going on, like:

Meaning that sometimes the volume suddenly goes waaay up or waaay down instead of providing the usual delta, and that, consequently, there are some volume levels that are unreachable because the phone / device “jumps” over them.

- Security updates for all murena phones at least for 4 years
- Open source speech to text assistant integrated in keyboard
