If MediaTek is cancer, what's a good SoC vendor?
AllWinner, Rockchip, Actions, Ingenic (mostly MIPS)?
Huawei/HiSilicon doesn't count since they rarely ever sells to single-board computer (SBC) manufacturers.

Who said MediaTek was cancer?
MediaTek chips are sweet, what the hell are you on about?

They're all bottom of the barrel CPUs you won't find outside of the cheapest chinkshit.

closed source, can't run any custom ROMs

Name a good phone with mediatek
Mediatek's been better recently. Ever since they began making 64 bit processors they've been decent.
Android can run well on a Snapdragon 400, or even a 200 if you're okay with compromises. it's not hard to beat that.
There's little to no custom rom support, but you can root and use Xposed for many of the good custom ROM features anyways.
They used to be bottom of the barrel trash, don't bother with the 6572 or 6582, and god forbid anything older, but the experience of a good phone is homogenizing as shitty displays, OS optimization and audio chips get phased out and improved upon. Even corner stores sell passable android phones.

Anything by Meizu or Xiaomi
Wait this isn't /csg/

Enjoy you no drivers, mediafag!
If you're looking for single board Linux PC's go for allwinner it seems to be where most of the dev time is if you don't go for Rasbperry Pi
Ingenic is based.
Rest are gay.

Wileyfox phones run Cyanogen OS, candy ass.

CyanogenOS != Cyanogenmod you retard.
CyanogenOS is to Cyanogenmod like Android is to AOSP

Look up LeMaker Hikey
Helio chips are evolving
I got an Allwinner H3 on my Orange Pi PC and it works fine. 45°C idle with no heatsink. Ask me anything.
