Is Firefox OS set to be completely open source?
- fabrice_d 14y agoIt has been from day one. Just clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G to start!
- TruthElixirX 14y agoWho is carrying the phone though? Will it be rooted from the get go?
- tlack 14y agoDisclaimer: this is all hearsay.. Telefonica in Brazil is one of the first carriers to distribute it, but I believe unlocked phones will be very common.. plus I've heard you could get an Android device and reflash it with B2G (it's Linux based and should work on the same devices as Android)
- zobzu 14y agoNexus S and SGS2 seem to work. I heard pandora and raspberry pie also work. there's probably other phones too
- TruthElixirX 14y agoI really want to switch to this even if it is only 70% as good as Android on my GNex. I've always been a Windows guy, never cared about free software and such, because it seemed like it was happening without too much fuss, but then, boom. Locked down phones, tablets, etc become the norm. And if our current phones become our future computing devices we are fucked.
- krickle 14y agoI'm really glad to hear this argument for open source, and doubly so to know you plan on voting with your money. I'm looking forward to the Firefox OS, I hope it gets a ton of traction. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting one too. Cheers.
