Unlikey that everything is open non hw vendor is fully open source example:

* TI GFX driver is not fully open not nokias fault
* Nvidia (on desktoplinux) not fully open
* broadcom wifi drivers(some is some not)
* optimized camera driver probadly not open cause then other manufactors copy/paste triccks used in thiis algoritms. personally I better see this closed IF the algoritgs taking better pics than competitors. most android cameras sucks maybe cause they not optimized remember optimizing algoritms takes manpower means lots of investments sometimes why they cantm be fully open.
* battery power saving algoritms is also a big issue that take alot of manpower is my guess.

software:

adobe flash
