Regarding the last bit:
I'm quite happy with my current FLX1 phone. It's working with a much better battery life than I have with proper Linux phones (yes, not a proper kernel, but others already mentioned that). And I appreciate the work that was spent to make it work well.
But I would really like to see you people more part of the existing Linux Mobile crowd.
@fakeshell @tzafrir @furilabs What does 'welcomed' mean here?
From a technical perspective, I can see why there would be hurdles (halium, downstream 4.19 kernel). Personally I'm interested in your project, but am led to believe it requires hacks to run phosh (meaning I couldn't run my pet project on your hardware without a lot of work).
I'd rather put my money into a project with mainline momentum/potential, otherwise refurbished androids still win on features/price.
