Yes, the wierd hardware with good FOSS datasheets but expectations for the community to do all f the dev is a problem. That and expecting the community to do all of the dev work on the CPU scaling leads to not much work on that and unusable as smartphone unplugged. Truth is the N900 getting all of the drivers now(good work!) is a result of reverse engineering old hardware. The Pine stuff is supposed to be open out o fthe box and is supposed to be chosen as such.
Is there full driver coverage for those ex-Android devices or is it libhybris?
I still have problem with using ex-ANdroid as the modem(which is owned by the provider once a SIM is inserted) has direct memory access.
