BananaHackers Wiki – KaiOS modding community

I had high hopes for KaiOS, but they (KaiOS and the manufacturers, not the hacking community) have chosen a path that makes them even less attractive than Android devices: locked down devices that have to be jailbroken, and ads injected into apps, whether the dev wants them or not. I also see lots of complaints about devices getting sluggish after a couple months, and then of course the manufacturers rarely update the OS.

I see a big opportunity for KaiOS to be the "detox phone OS", the one you chose when you want to give your brain a bit of a break from the dopamine hits that fullblown smartphones bring with them
