FuriOS is a derivate of Droidian, which in turn is basically Debian with Halium support. So it's pretty much Debian + some custom patches for usability, hardware support, performance, so on. We intend to upstream as many of our changes as possible as time permits, but right now we are laser focused on improving the experience day in and day out.
Are all of your patches open source? Given enough time, could a user build a "factory image" of FuriOS from source?
Yes. It doesn't even require a lot of time, all the build scripts are on our GitHub.
Thanks for the answer. All the best!
Hi, thanks for answering questions here. How do you handle device encryption?
Once you turn on full disk encryption, the phone will reboot once and begin to encrypt the entire filesystem in the background. Further reboots will require that you input your FDE password (which can be different from your lock screen password/PIN) in a minimal rootfs-based UI.
