Re: Replacing old versions of Android with OpenBSD

[Kristjan Komloši]

While the idea seems fantastic upon the first glance, I'm afraid that
OpenBSD's no-blob policy would not be compatible with the humongous amounts
of blobs and proprietary drivers needed to run just about everything on
mobile devices.
Have you already thought of a particular device to do it on?

Replacing old versions of Android with OpenBSD

[Jyri Hovila [Turvamies.fi]]

Hi everyone!

There used to be a project called GreenOS, with plans on creating a FreeBSD 
based OS for Android devices:

https://www.freebsdnews.com/2012/07/09/greenos-freebsd-based-project-android-devices/

Has anybody here had plans (or tried out?) hacking OpenBSD into some old, 
rootable Android handset?

I'd be interested in setting up a little project around this idea. There's no 
need to worry about any of the 3G/4G stuff at first -- it would be more than 
enough just to see OpenBSD booting on an ex-Android device.
