While fully open would of course be ideal, I'd settle for an unlockable bootloader.
I'm guessing whatever random extras "SolOS" grafts onto Android are probably fairly extraneous, and any vanilla AOSP-based ROM would be perfectly cromulent, provided it was possible to flash it in the first place.

- cookiengineer 2y agoI am not sure you are aware how many years of development time are necessary to reverse engineer a driver on mobile platforms. For me that is where I draw the line, without drivers I won't touch it. I've wasted enough of my free time trying to get Cyanogen run on fucked up proprietary platforms. If the drivers aren't open source, the company won't give a damn about the platform anyways because they already did not comply with the law of the license of the tools they stole (read as: linux kernel license) already.
