FMD edge0.17.0

Locate an Android phone remotely and issue control commands through FMD edge when it has been lost or misplaced. Commands can travel by SMS, instant messengers, or the FMD Server web interface, giving you several ways to reach the device. The app helps recover a device while keeping the user’s data under their control through a decentralised approach.

FMD edge is an open-source Android System Tools app that receives releases faster, more frequently, and slightly earlier than FMD. Despite that release cadence, its versions are generally stable for everyday use. It suits people who want remote device location and control outside Google’s Find Hub, including situations such as finding a phone left somewhere or managing it from a distance.

Version 0.17.0 introduces FMD Server API v2 and Protocol v2, along with a migration assistant for the new server protocol. It also adds the bluetoothscan command and fixes allowlist handling for national phone numbers. The release corrects a reply loop triggered by receiving fmd help, making command interactions behave more predictably.

FMD edge runs on Android 7.0 or newer and supports arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64, and x86 devices. Users working with FMD Server can manage the phone through its web interface alongside SMS or instant messaging.
