The early days of Android were really something else. Today we're fortunate enough to be able to take Nexus devices, one line bootloader unlocks and production devices shipping with CyanogenMod for granted.
What are you working now that you're no longer spending inordinate amounts of time unlocking phones?
- JshWright 12y agoYou must not be a Verizon customer...
- gcb0 12y agoYou are because you want to. Also, the grandpatent post that eats the marketing BS of the nexus devices... You still don't have access to ALL the hardware. You can only use alternative versions of Android that Google provided you with because you have to reuse driver binary blobs and such. So stop spreading that falsehood.
- icebraining 12y agoWhat falsehood did grandparent wrote? All s/he claimed is that you can unlock the bootloader and run CyanogenMod, nobody said anything about having "access to ALL the hardware".
- eropple 12y agoThe post you refer to said nothing about "all the hardware" and Ubuntu seems to be able to get along with binary blob drivers on Nexus devices, besides. Who's spreading falsehoods, here?
- L_Rahman 12y agoI'm under no delusions that I have access to all the hardware and I hope there comes a day when we do. Till then however, it would be unfair to not acknowledge that we have made some strides in gaining more access to our devices by default compared to just a few years ago.
- gcb0 12y agoHow? I still can't put a new kernel and use my radio chip, audio chip, camera, digitizer... Exactly the same as the first nexus. In fact it was a little better with the g1 :)
