Having Firefox OS hardware isn't that important at this stage - it's just an Android fork that runs on a handful of commercially-available Android devices. It would be great if Mozilla had a buildbot like Cyanogen's that posted images on a publicly-accessible FTP server for the 8 or so devices they support. I'd be willing to try Firefox OS on my Galaxy Nexus, and probably even write apps for it. But, I don't really want to download GBs of toolchain and Gonk source to compile my own image to be able to do these things.

We can't distribute builds for most of these devices for legal reasons.

  If you can, can you point out the legal reasons?

    We can't redistribute binary blobs (gpu drivers for instance) that you need when building the images to flash phones. They are exceptions though, like the nexus S.

      So can we expect images for nexus 4?

  Would making the Nexus line Tier One devices change this? Or perhaps a utility that backs up your local drivers, flashes the open binaries, then pushes the encumbered ones back to the device?
