Nuxel Phone OS · v0.7.2-beta
Mobile Linux for Control Freaks
No Android framework. Pure Linux. Immutable by design. Opt-in everything.
01 / 03
No Android Framework
An independent Fedora + GNOME Linux stack. Real systemd, Phosh and WebKitGTK — no AOSP runtime and no libhybris.
Why Nuxel
What makes Nuxel different
An independent Linux phone OS with no Android framework layers, a capability-gated app model and honest per-device status. Every card links to its full explanation and evidence.
No Android framework layers
An independent Fedora + GNOME Linux userspace with no AOSP runtime, no Waydroid, no libhybris and no APK support.
Full explanationImmutable updates with rollback
A/B slots, dm-verity and AVB verification are the update model: write the inactive slot, verify it, then switch.
Full explanationnuxel-bridge capability mediator
Every app request for telephony, contacts, location, storage, notifications or system state goes through one auditable mediator.
Full explanationThe Nuxel app suite
Phone, Messages, Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Notes, Files, Clock, Terminal, Maps, Weather, Gallery, Recorder, Browser, Settings and more.
Full explanationTri-link access
Three console paths to the phone: USB serial recovery, Wi-Fi SSH and a USB-network SSH path that is blocked by the kernel.
Full explanationHonest subsystem status
Every subsystem carries the evidence level it actually reached: hardware verified, offline tested, owner test pending or blocked.

- 15 In progress
- 3 Blocked
- 4 Planned
PenGuru, remote GUI access and on-device A/B activation are planned capabilities, not shipped features. Blocked paths name their dependency: GNSS needs Broadcom BBD/LHD userspace, HDMI needs DRM, and the USB network console needs a newer kernel gadget stack. Read the full catalogue .

The phone Nuxel ultimately wants to run. The repository has the inventory, recovery path, flash tooling and firmware gates ready; none of the on-device steps has been executed for Nuxel yet.
