  • You hacked out a bare running Nix config for a phone…cool. I wouldn’t call it an implementation of anything because all you did was hammer out configs, but good for you. Now you have a phone where half the hardware doesn’t work, but Nix runs, so super awesome for you. Must be a great user experience.

    Even in your comments on your link, you’re proving my point. Without a solid BASE, and a DRIVER LAYER, you won’t have a successful project to push a UI of anything, because packaging themall together doesn’t make sense. All the major phone vendors know this, and have moved in that direction for awhile.

    Why you came in here with your links to something that is literally saying the same thing as I am as if you are proving a point to somebody, I have no idea.










  • While I love the idea, I just don’t see this moving forward unless any of these projects can focus on splitting up these types of projects into a solid base, driver layer, and then UI layer. Instead they are all spending a ton of engineering resources building something from scratch.

    So many projects have similarly started the same way and failed instead of working towards a base that replaces AOSP first, then spinning their own UI on top. The big device manufacturers figured out a decade ago this is the right way to go, and these small projects buck that and fail instead of just focusing on the thing they ultimately intend to focus on.

    Get a good base that is removed from Google, THEN do this project.
