“ what you gonna do, buy an iphone?” Google.

I though they’d done this sooner. In the past, as soon as they completed a Google app, the AOSP equivalent is immediately put on life support.

Well, that’s really depressing to hear.

Sadly it’s one of the (many) shortcomings of a duopoly. As long as you don’t make it ‘as bad’ as your other competitor, what can users really do about it?

Linux and open source are the only reasons I use Android. Remove those two things and there is no reason for me to use it. I’ll just get an iphone I guess. Or go back to a flip phone.

Surely LineageOS and similar projects will continue to maintain their own, open source version of the dialer and whatever else gets dropped from AOSP.
