<rant> I'm not disappointed at all in ZTE. This phone is dirt cheap, so what can you expect for support? For $80, I definitely expected to be hacking constantly to get it working.
The one I am very disappointed in is Mozilla. The ZTE Open is their flagship phone and there are many more of them out there than any other Firefox OS phone. If developers got a bad taste from that device, they would like write off Firefox OS as a flop. I expected Mozilla to be hacking right along side us, but it's almost as if no one at Mozilla even owns a ZTE Open or can confirm that the problems we are experiencing since 1.1 even exist. Why should I have to file a bug report about the reboot loop issue? This is a blocking bug that prevents app developers (for the most popular phone) from upgrading to more recent versions. Not only should it have existed, it should have been marked as critical. Also, why do we have to download Eduardo's modified boot image (thanks for that, by the way)? There should be a build patch/script that unpacks and modifies the ZTE official boot.img to get a compatible boot.img. Anyway, extremely disappointed in Mozilla. The lack of developer support for the ZTE Open will probably be the poison pill that kills Firefox OS's momentum. </rant> On Wed, Jan 29, 2014 at 6:49 AM, Abhiram Chintangal <[email protected]> wrote: >> ZTE says that info is confidential, I'm not going to buy another ZTE in the >> rest of my life (I hope everybody think the same) > > I think so too , I am currently running my custom build of firefox os > on the Open.
