I ported it to a couple of Android devices and used it as a daily driver for a year or so.

It is technically a successor, but it just wasn't there. App story was worse than N9 (without considering alien dalvik/anbox/waydroid).

Some of the technical decisions they've made meant more headaches for developers (Old gcc version. Old Qt version. Repacking Fedora arm packages just to run on sfos wasn't fun). The browser was based on a very old and buggy Firefox version. At the end of the day, it wasn't even fully open source.. so you always had to play catch up with their updates just to keep your mods working.

Despite all that, the community was vibrant and very talented. Oddly enough, it was also smoother to use and feels more well designed than Android on the same device. Even little things like double tap to wake, being easier for one hand usage
