hmop now that source code is not available on pixel 10 /android 16 and beyond

hmop i read they closed the source code for android 16 beyond

Where are you getting this misinformation?

Lucario1829

source code for android 16 is available, and graphene has already been ported to android 16. the pixel 10 will most likely be supported unless something major changes (like a non-unlockable bootloader) and graphene will continue to be updated on all currently supported devices. its fine.

printf

Lucario1829 how can you be so sure?

__Blank__ thats not what most people are worried about anymore, most concern recently comes from android not providing device trees anymore, thus graphene has to maintain their own

Lucario1829 oh sorry, I misunderstood the post 😅

Lucario1829 it's been repeatedly discussed at length in a mother thread. Every other OEM has to build their own device trees.

Google is no longer publishing the device trees for Pixel devices because they are instead using their "Cuttlefish" virtual device as the reference target for AOSP. Previously, the Pixel devices were the AOSP reference target.

hmop thats not true, android is still open source

Lucario1829

userofgos i know that, thus its nothing to be concerned about, i was just saying people are often concerned about it

Lucario1829 apologies, I mixed you up with the op.

Here's an existing thread: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/23080-aosp-and-pixel-device-support

Also, here's a thread about this on Mastodon by the project account: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114721666000552094. It covers this question and the misinformation about GrapheneOS's future.
