    I don’t know if you can really replace android with android.

    How does this compare to Graphene and Calyx?

    E: I don’t see any public repos for the ROM, but I guess that could be a thing later? No mention in the article or their website on if they plan on open sourcing it, but I’m not at my desk right now to check thoroughly enough.
