No, you don't need a 'very bespoke AOSP' to turn your phone into a Rabbit R1 — here's proof (www.androidauthority.com)

  • Rabbit R1, AI gadget, runs on Android app, not requiring "very bespoke AOSP" firmware as claimed by Rabbit.
  • Rabbit R1 launcher app can run on existing Android phones, not needing system-level permissions for core functionality.
  • Rabbit R1 firmware analysis shows minimal modifications to standard AOSP, contradicting claims of custom hardware necessity by Rabbit.

What about custom ROMs like Lineage? The only thing holding it back from working on every phone is that many phones have blocks to prevent installing a custom ROM in the first place. Could be just like windows in that it has every driver for every piece of hardware in the package, just bloating it unnecessarily.

Every device had it's own device tree and kernel with custom driver's, binary blinds, and system software. All of it runs beside the closed source modern os

I’m not entirely sure because I’m not very knowledgeable about CPUs, but it seems this is largely a problem with ARM architectures and their lack of standardization, isn’t it?

There's nothing like uefi between the os and the hardware
