      It isn’t completely dead since projects like Lineage OS exist

      It takes work to maintain but it seems to be the best option. It is what AOSP used to be.

        Isn’t Lineage reliant upon AOSP existing, though? I imagine it’ll be tough surviving for them once all the restrictions Google’s been announcing are put in place…

          Google still publishes source code

          If they didn’t phone manufacturers would have a very hard time porting Android
