I use to have a Firefox OS phone (the Flame), but since I broke it last july, I switched to Android and 7 month in I still miss my FFOS phone :/.

Android UX is just terrible, and the interface looks so slow (my new phone is a $400 phone from 2016, compared to a 180$ phone from 2014 …)

What Android phone are you using? Stock Android is pretty good in my opinion but the manufacturer and carrier-flavored versions of Android can get pretty disgusting.

Unless you are running AOSP, you are not using stock android. FirefoxOS WAS FAST. I demo'd it on single core 400mhz device and it ran circles around my dual core 1.5Ghz android with cyanogenmod 11.

I run AOSP on my phone, without the Google stuff. I was using FFOS for privacy and freedom reasons and I'm not giving up.
