## General
|
|
|
|
* **Backup**: [Example of a quick backup solution](https://forums.puri.sm/t/received-my-librem-5-evergreen/10877/195) using rsync and a systemd timer
|
|
|
|
* **Battery fuel meter** [needs adjustments](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/merge_requests/198) and for the time being is not precise. E.g. when fully loaded, the red charging led turns off and battery fuel meter indicates 70%.

|
|
|
|
* **Dark mode:** Not available out-of-the-box. Can be tweaked by using GNOME Tweaks app and set any theme you want there.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, use [gsettings](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/gsettings.1.html): `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Adwaita-dark"`
|
|
|
|
* **Favorite Apps:** To add an app from your app list to the Favorites section (i.e. pin to the top of the list), long-press on the app, then select `Add to Favorites`. The Favorites section expands to accommodate the new favorite app. To remove an app from Favorites, long-press the app, then select `Remove from Favorites`.
|
|
|
|
* **File manager:** Install `nautilus` (not yet adaptive). Download [this ](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/blob/master/helpers/scale-to-fit) and scale it to fit the screen. From the directory where the script is run `scale-to-fit org.gnome.nautilus on`.

|
|
File manager [nemo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemo_%28file_manager%29) scales well without additional tweaks, especially in landscape. It can be installed with the command: `sudo apt install nemo`
|
|
|
|
* **Firewall:** To enable [ufw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncomplicated_Firewall) (uncomplicated firewall), open terminal and enter `sudo ufw status` and if it's not yet enabled, enter `sudo ufw enable`. The default is usually all you need, but you have the options of adding additional rules. Use `sudo ufw disable` to disable. To call up a graphical interface inside the terminal, first install gufw and install x11-xserver-utils. Next type the following command: `DISPLAY=:0 xhost +` and hit enter, resulting in: `access control disabled, clients can connect from any host`. Now type: `DISPLAY=:0 GDK_BACKEND=x11 sudo gufw` and the graphical version will appear right in the terminal. Note that after you close the terminal, the app icon in the phone's app list will not be operational unless you repeat the above process, at least unless someone adapts it later.

* **IMEI:** To find the IMEI of your Librem 5, go to `Settings > Mobile > Modem Details`.
|
|
|
|
* **Install Software:** In case installing software from PureOS store does not work --> Do it from terminal e.g. `sudo apt install firefox-esr` and `firefox-esr-mobile-config` (for better screen fit). Note that PureOS store, by default, lists software that has been adapted to the Librem 5's screen. Other packages can be found and installed using the search tool within the store, but may not scale well to the screen without further modification. Using `Scale Screen` app, a part of `librem5-goodies`, to temporarily reduce scale, may help with such non-adaptive apps.

* **Root account:** Locked by default. So there is no root password available. More technical details [here](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/image-builder/-/merge_requests/123). Unlock root account with `sudo passwd`, check out [this discussion](https://forums.puri.sm/t/what-does-locking-the-root-password-do/10895) for more background.

|
* **Standby mode:** Currently no standby / suspend mode available. Screen just gets dark.
|
|
|
|
* **System/Software Updates:** Click Updates tab within PureOS Store, or install from Terminal. Tip for those new to Linux: Within Terminal, enter: `sudo apt update` followed by `sudo apt upgrade` (if any updates available). (sudo = superuser do / i.e. admin level action)
|

|
|
* **Terminal:** Access additional Terminal keyboard controls by clicking on the globe icon (reveals Ctrl, Alt, and arrow keys, plus other symbols, controls, and Function keys; press the `>_` key to see the extras). // Here's a quick and fun introduction to basic Terminal commands: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/command-line-for-beginners#1-overview

## Calls
|
|
|
|
* **Calls/Voice quality:** Adjust Internal Microphone volume in `Settings`>`Sound` as needed.
|
|
|
|
* **Calls from terminal:** `xdg-open tel://<phone-number>` as seen [here](https://social.librem.one/@eliasr/105243293093757846).

|
* **Mobile Settings:** While Mobile is disabled, either by the settings toggle or by the kill switch, granular Mobile Settings are inaccessible. Also, at the moment, saved messages in Chats cannot be viewed nor new messages composed; a fix for this is being worked on, and the issue does not affect other installed messaging apps, if any.

## Contacts
|
|
|
|
* **Import contacts** from .vcf file: Install the `librem5-goodies` package from the command line, one of the scripts it has is a small yad/bash application to import contacts from a *.vcf file to [GNOME Contacts](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Contacts). Import from SIM card is currently not supported. |
