You can still use the result, but not with all devices (same thing as any linux distro, despite being open source, you need driver supports for your particular hardware). There are still many devices who can boot aosp (from the nexus line, from sony, etc.).
- binarycrusader 13y agoDid you read Jean-Baptiste's post? In this particular case, there's no video device support for Google flagship devices! ...can't boot to the home screen on its flagship device for lack of GPU support... That sort of makes it useless. I'd only be willing to buy the device argument if we were talking about a microphone or webcam, but when you lack the most basic of support (video), I think that's not a useful argument to have.
