I really like the screen theme that they have got (with the battery and Skype notification). Looks a bit like Google Now if it had transparency. Does anyone know if that is an existing theme or mod?

Unfortunately it's a theme: Android OS (4.2 Jelly Bean): Special interface developed by Kwame Corporation (Also open!) I hoped it would provide a vanilla Android.

  Not unfortunate! I am sure you will be able to get vanilla android on this phone, and it's good that the interface is open and you can use it on other phones.

    I am sure you will be able to get vanilla android on this phone... By "I'm sure" do you mean "I assume" or "I am certain, they have explicitly stated it?"

      They explicitly state that it's user-rootable and that they're talking to people from FFOS/B2G and Ubuntu.

    I am just curious why they invested in the development of a custom skin and didn't use the vanilla Android UI of the Nexus line. It would have been a real feature.

      The same reason Toyota made the Prius look like a wedge. Had nothing to do with aerodynamics.
