My team built the OS on a custom fork of Android (https://www.sanctuary.computer).

I would say ask me anything but I’m in the middle of the Australian outback with virtually no mobile signal...!

What I can say is that working with Eink is rudimentary - we had to build everything from a custom kernel driver all the way up to the view layouts and UX. We expected Eink would give us sophisticated SDKs, but unfortunately a lot of wheels had to be reinvented. I have huge respect for the team behind the Yota Phone!

I’ve written a tear down of how it all works that I’ll be sharing soon on our company twitter if anyone is interested.
