--0000000000007897e0062bc153dc Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable -> Nice project. Just to mention that FreeBSD was apparently successfully installed in a pinephone https://mastodon.social/@tobykurien/113779792572310611 Nice progress,but I don't like the oblong displays used by the Android smartphone. That form factor is abused. For this reason I haven't bought a Pinephone yet. -> PS: Do you want to build a reliable smartphone yourself or should it be something for the joy of tinkering? I don't want to jailbreak anything. I want to choose the proper pieces of hardware that can work with FreeBSD. Regarding the software,I'm not able to create a driver for FreeBSD or a huge piece of software by myself only. But reading and asking I could ask or hire someone who can finish a code that it's almost done or bugged. I definitely want to build a reliable smartphone myself. Even if I'm interested in installing Android on the BlackBerry Passport. TO be honest I bought one of those 3 years ago because I knew that someday someone would be able to hack it. And it happened some weeks ago. And no,in this case there is no hope to install FreeBSD there. The jail break is for Android,even if I think that one day we could even install Linux there.
