They've managed to deploy Firefox OS - which is based on AOSP - on just 128 MB of RAM? I'm impressed!

    Android Open Source Project. The base for every Android phone.

  The promise of FxOS is that it should be lighter than Android because it strips out layers like SurfaceFlinger. Until now that hasn't really been delivered; I wonder if this phone is actually usable.

  AOSP: As "Android Open Source Project"? Also did some googling, yes FireFoxOS is based on AOSP, or at least its a dependency in the build. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Building_and_installing_Firefox_OS/Firefox_OS_build_process_summary https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Building_and_...

  For those curious -- like I was -- apparently the part based on AOSP is the low-level "infrastructure layer", Gonk: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Platform/Architecture https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Platform/Arch... They also used associated tools like fastboot and adb.

  "Based on AOSP" adds more confusion than clarity to the discussion. Firefox OS is based on the Android Linux kernel and uses the Android HAL and some other low level bits but it is not Android or even very similar to Android above the HAL.
