See this link for details.
There will be an openmode that allows you to do whatever you like with your HARMATTAN device (OWTTE)
(actually eventually much much later that promise came true based on massive effort from community side, just it rendred the device pretty much useless due to the original OS getting locked down and not working as supposed anymore when that "open mode" got enabled. "Change device lock code" anybody?)

Everybody of the same guys doing Jolla now bashed me for being silly when I ranted about aegis being a terrible idea. X-Fade even stopped conversation with me completely from that very moment.
