[-- Attachment #1 --] ---> Android remains the OS for the phone. I'm not sure but I see that he talks even about Linux as main os that can be installed on the phone ---> FreeBSD does not have the required proprietary driver blobs which are used by Android and I greatly doubt that FreeBSD running in a KVM will have access to all (or any) of these hardware elements. This is true. But AFAIK qemu can provide the missing software components replacing them with the virtual ones.
