As part of the efforts to bring the FirefoxOS experience to more people, we are working on a tool to easily flash your existing Android devices. (for which we have a port) You can track this work at https://github.com/lissyx/b2g-installer.
This is a great tool, however it's still a fairly big commitment for the user, a bit like jumping in the deep side of the pool. We also have limited device coverage, since we need a gonk port to be available for that to be useful. To reach more people, I started working on an experiment to run Gaia as a homescreen launcher for Android. This will let you test drive (as much as possible) the FirefoxOS UI, while reaching more devices and more people. It gives the user the ability to manage your Android apps from Gaia's homescreen app. Consider this as dipping your toes before fully jumping in to the experience. We expect people to do this soon! So this is *not* a new product, and this is far from having the polish we would like. I would appreciate any testing and feedback. Go visit https://people.mozilla.org/~fdesre/b2gdroid/ to install, or build by yourself using https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1170323 Enjoy!
