i feel step 1 should be getting phones to be more open and standardized.

i want to be able to just install stuff like this on my phone without needing some teenager on xda to figure out how to get it booting and working well enough to give it a fair try.

for this reason alone i almost never get excited about phone oses

But why run another proprietary operating system?
