But without the proprietary drivers, not much of the hardware will be functioning. No GPS, no 3D acceleration and no hardware video codecs.
I'm only after convenience. As I said, I can compile AOSP, but I don't want to invest in this maintenance work at all. I just want a plain Android that can update itself. Basically the only thing I'm after is OTA updates to stock AOSP. I don't care about modifications, new features, or more free drivers. If such a project ever appears, I'll be the first to donate. I would even pay for a subscription to such a service.
There are some ROMs out there that are closer to AOSP but normally have limited phone support and no OTA updates.
I doubt anyone would go to the trouble of creating a Android ROM for different phones and not tweak anything on it.
But what I really am after is not some build of Android, but the service that enables OTA updates to this build of Android. I'd even pay for such a service.
Basically I can compile AOSP myself, but I don't want to. I want OTA updates, I don't care about any "enhancements" Cyanogen added, and I'm happy with OSS apps in F-Droid instead of Play.
Am I alone in this?
