@gangrif @mekuso @dfs @hellomiakoda @furilabs I just talked with Furilabs ceo and head dev and he did say that android auto is definately doable. He does not have anything to test it but if you look how much "impossible" stuff they have made reality I believe it will work if someone just can give helping hand for the developement (= user with access to FLX1 and car with android auto support - it is car thing right?).

For example they did build USA VoLTE & mms support "which was not possible"

@hellomiakoda @furilabs No worries.

I am not sure are there any as polished options as in android - maybe with Nextcloud ther is, I am not sure.
What my end-user brains would suggest for an idea:
Use mmcli to get location details and output that for example to txt file.
Then if you wan't do some formatting for that information so the location info is easier to understand.
Then sync that periodically with cron or similar.

But options are endless :)

@hellomiakoda @furilabs
Should be quite easy because at the moment FLX1 works like this:
If you use android-container the GPS is locked to android apps - and GPS works as good as any modern smartphone. You will get location immediately.
If you use this method you can use the same methods as you use with deGoogled android device.

If you choose to go with linux route you need to first stop android-container. GPS works then also there and there are methods to share location with linux too.

I have been daily driving FLX1 from Furilabs for few weeks now.

Believe me this is the phone which will finally gain some market share to linux mobile.
It has all the best achievements of the linux mobile community.
It has been in market for month and it is allready better than any other linux phone that I ever had (I basicly have/had them all - starting from the BQ Aquaris)

Feel free to ask questions I can try answer. #flx1 #furilabs #linuxmobile #mobilelinux #phosh @furilabs
