even if the bootloaders are unlocked, you usually still face an issue with all those non-open drivers to make the phone work right.<p>One annoying example is how Sony&#x27;s Xperia phones can have their bootloaders unlocked, but Sony keeps the secret sauce behind their image sensor&#x27;s software locked up in a proprietary, inaccessible blob that (IIRC) other ROM makers have been unable to integrate into their Xperia builds.<p>If Nexbit is not only unlocking the bootloader but providing the hw drivers as open source, that could be a bigger deal.
