Is it possible for end users to deploy their own operating systems and software?
And do you make it easy for them to do so?
One of my pet peeves about the Android ecosystem is Google's abusive licensing restrictions for their extended service stack prohibiting vendors from distributing their own forks of the base software.
This is the sort of device that I'd be interested in from the hardware perspective, but would not even consider if it's not possible to strip every last remnant of Google from it.
- talldayo 2y agoI bet you could get pretty far with Universal Android Debloater: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater You can remove just about anything and everything, which is as much a warning as it is a recommendation. Don't use this if you're not ready to reinstall your OS.
