Every day that passes—and almost every hour—is a new surprise in the environment of what happens after the launch of the Rabbit r1, one of the first artificial intelligence devices with hardware behind it and whose community does not stop exploring.

On this occasion Reddit user PejHod Through a thread on the social network, what many of us already knew became a reality, that behind the Rabbit r1's customization layer was an AOSP that supported it.

And this boy has opened the doors to explore all the innards of the r1 being able to enter even—almost—the last corner of the device using, ironically, the touch screen that is inactive by default in the Rabbit r1 configuration.

How did you manage to access the Android of the Rabbit r1

First of all, and as something fundamental, I commented that you have not updated the device nor have you installed any of the two updates that are currently available, since it has not been able to connect it to the internet in any way.

User PejHod using Android on the Rabbit r1

Thus, connecting a keyboard to the USB-C port of the Rabbit r1 and pressing the button «search» of the same has managed to open the R1 configuration menu, giving rise to what we have seen in the video that was uploaded to the social network.

And it has been able to enter virtually all configuration options, from the possibility of rotating the screen automatically, to the sound or network options as well as setting a night mode or dark mode.

In the video you can see how he does the process again from scratch and it works again - although some users have reported bricking - and he can access all the settings again as if it were a 100% Android device.

But there is much more…

Of course, PejHod has not stood still and has continued investigating on his own. I don't know where these people get the knowledge and skill, but it's admirable. After continuing to see how far he could go, he has come very far...

Configuration menus

As we have already said, the first thing you have had access to was the device's configuration menus, as if it were an Android with nothing else, although we know that behind it is the Rabbit OS that depends on it.

He has even been able to somehow put a navigation bar on the main home screen, where we see the Rabbit bunny waiting for us to give him one of the voice instructions to respond to us.

Screen mirroring

You have also been able to create a wireless connection between your device and the television through the screen mirroring Screen Mirroring, being able to see all the content of the Rabbit r1 on your television. This would open the doors to being able to see the screen options in giant size.

Disney+

How about a movie on a brand new 2.8″ screen? Well, for me—and for everyone—it is useless, but it still seems curious to me. How did you manage to open the streaming app on the Rabbit r1 in just a few hours since it arrived.

This has raised doubts in me, since I understand that at some point He had to activate it on the WiFi network for this, but it seems that despite everything the automatic update has not jumped as it should. Perhaps because the operating system was not loaded correctly from the beginning.

The expected call dial on the Rabbit r1

Well yes. As with any good Android, it couldn't be less and it is a relief since the possibility of calling and SMS has been requested so many times by the community that seeing that the option - even if it is in the background - is integrated comforts me.

I have to admit that despite everything I love that people investigate and get the colors out of the devices. That means that there is an active community, interested and willing to create more and more research-based content.

In Rabbit r1 it is becoming much more known since people are interested in destroying it. If the team behind the gadget is able to maintain updates and remain attentive to the community, I think they will do extremely well.
