Android smartphones uses proprietary software and hardware. Film at 11.
Even the so called "open source phone", the Neo FreeRunner, relies on a proprietary baseband OS.

This is true. The software looks for particular info on the MOBO and sees if it is genuine hardware. That's why if you want to install in on "real hardware":) (not this dated shit apple gives you) you need to hack the OSX.
