Yup. I installed that on my phone to play with it. My phone tends to
reboot if I leave it running too long, I think there's some sort of lock
timeout going on or something. (Not sure.)

I also need to install a different keyboard app. Getting an escape out
of the default keyboard is something like volume up plus E, and I've
forgotten how cursoring around works...

Sure, go for it.

I'm a little out of sync with the kernel releases but trying to catch
back up. Right now I'm aiming for toybox and aboriginal releases at the
end of June.

I don't think you need my name in it? (Nobody had to say "Erik
Andersen's Busybox" or "Jamie Zawinski's Mozilla"...)
