Rabbit recently said their AI service can only be accessed on the R1 with its “very bespoke AOSP” firmware, but that isn’t true.
  • Rabbit R1, AI gadget, runs on Android app, not requiring “very bespoke AOSP” firmware as claimed by Rabbit.
  • Rabbit R1 launcher app can run on existing Android phones, not needing system-level permissions for core functionality.
  • Rabbit R1 firmware analysis shows minimal modifications to standard AOSP, contradicting claims of custom hardware necessity by Rabbit.

    No, you don’t need a ‘very bespoke AOSP’ to turn your phone into a Rabbit R1

    I just fucking need to get the APK from a goddman reliable source and I only know APKMirror

      The article says that you need a custom launcher to establish a connection to their cloud service, so the apk only won’t do it either way. But give it a few days and someone will have rigged up a full package, no doubt. Then you’ve probably got 6-8 weeks to use the service before they kick the bucket and shut down forever…

        The APK is called “R1 Launcher”…

        They’ve already proved it works from an Android phone.
