It's truly depressing to see the Android org's leadership repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot. It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. f-droid.org/en/2025/10/28/… Users should be able to choose what software they run on the devices they own.







We're seeing some speculation that AOSP is being discontinued. To be clear, AOSP is NOT going away. AOSP was built on the foundation of being an open platform for device implementations, SoC vendors, and instruction set architectures. AOSP needs a reference target that is flexible, configurable, and affordable – independent of any particular hardware, including those from Google. For years, developers have been building Cuttlefish (available on GitHub as the reference device for AOSP) and GSI targets from source. We continue to make those available for testing and development purposes.

Google really needs to open up the use of Google Sans at least in Android apps. @kageman pointed me this out to me and now I can't unthink it. Immediately apps like WhatsApp on Android would look modern and less dated.
