All things FP5 have moved along a lot recently with quite a few things fixed and working. These include the following: • fixed vgrid units • adb, mtp and usb • Modem is up • Sound and video decoding works • vibrationaidl added to hfd-service • flashlight • auto brightness • mobile data and calls • GPS
Many of the parts for voLTE have also not been merged, but have not yet reached our devel update channel yet.
Work is being finished to make the FairPhone 5 available on the installer and, as we know many of you are looking forward to this port, we will let you know as soon as it is available.
We intend to show the FairPhone 5 at the upcoming Ubuntu Summit in the Hague so, if you are there, please come and look us up to find out more.

[ALPHA] Mimi Browser A WebKit browser
There has been a lot of chat and discussion across our Forum and TELEport channels about alternatives to our Morph browser over quite a period of time. Well after a few heavy hints at first, and then demonstrations of progress on our Q&As, Alfred Neumayers Mimi browser is available from the OpenStore.
Alfred has stressed, so will we and so does the OpenStore, very clearly, that this is very much an ALPHA release. Many features are still missing and/or not yet working, including: • Video playback • Pinch-to-zoom • Copy-paste • Camera support • Incognito mode • Missing settings and customization.
That stated, so far there have been 347 downloads, we have seen comments on web pages opening that would not on Morph, and a general positive response from users across a range of devices. This very positive feedback for the WebKit-based browser points towards a positive future ahead for Mimi.
There is a lot of work and updates to come before Mimi is ready for everyday use, but we think it is well worth you taking the time to give this alpha version a try.
If you would like to support Alfreds work on this app or his many others, or for that matter the work of any of our app developers, keep an eye out for the information on the OpenStore page for a link, or use the popup that appears when you start to download an app. We are sure it will be appreciated.
