Considering the recent advancement of NAND flash, I expect it lasts longer than those 3 years ago. Back in 2013, I used a low-quality class 10 microSD card for development, rsync'ed over 500 times before the card showed some signs of failure. So it is pretty safe to rsync, say, once a week. Before it wears out, the phone will be outdated or squashdelta becomes available. cross-compile is possible, but not trivial. After all, the goal of this project is to develop on Android *natively in-situ*, exactly the same as PC: no more SDK, no more cross-compiling and no more ROM-flashing. Just use portage to compile kernels, build java apps and rolling release, what do you say? ROM-flashing a phone is equivalent to reinstalling the whole OS on a PC. My laptop runs nearly 10 years without reinstallion (and surviving a migration from HDD to SSD). The software on mobile devices is far more inflexible. What the android world lacks is a damn good solid package manager, Gentoo/portage/Prefix is one way to save this chaos. > is there some way of leveraging the USB-C connection on the Nexus 6P > .. or are we talking super-complex then?!
