I have a dream... a dream that one day, all users with Moto and Samsung phones will be able to join hands together, and reflash their phones as brothers to the latest build of AOSP. And with their phones held high, and joy in their hearts, they can proclaim, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank you, Larry & Sergey, we are free at last!"
