No. the FLX1 uses a project called Hallium, which as I understand it, basically runs an Android container and the original Android kernel to interface with the hardware
Weird. I checked the website & forum again, and what I can see still says it’s a Debian fork that uses Waydroid. Where did you read that it uses Hallium? Not that it’s important, but I’ve been planning to get one, so I want to be sure I know what I’m getting.
I got it from https://blog.luigi311.com/furilabs-flx1/. Furi labs specifically links to this article on their website, so I would assume it’s factually correct.
I see where it says the phone is a Halium-based device, but then under Android support, it says they use their own Waydroid fork. So, I guess those aren’t mutually exclusive. Good to know, thanks.
Yeah, Waydroid is just an application and will run on normal amd64 and arm64 linux devices just fine. Having it setup from the factory is just a nice quality of life feature.
I thought it was basically Debian with Waydroid preinstalled.

I’m not really clear on what you were disagreeing with, then.
