- Google is putting together its framework for Android developer verification, connecting dev names to even sideloaded apps.
- Recent additions to the Android SDK offer a little insight into how the system may ultimately operate.
- One variable suggests that users may not be able to sideload even verified apps without an active network connection.
OpenHarmony exists too you know & it’s being actively maintained. That or We maintain AOSP ourselves.
Reminder OpenHarmony is the AOSP equivalent to HarmonyOS & is maintained by the OpenAtom foundation
ok. but isn’t HarmonyOS as a whole a lot younger? why is it a better choice?
Because it’s not being railroaded by it’s owner unlike Android
we have platforms like that already. several mobile linux distributions, sailfish, whatever. what is the advantage of harmony os? android (as in AOSP) is much more mature all around, the bad parts need to be patched out but then its pretty good. why choose harmony os and leave behind android instead?
Oh my god this person. If google completely closed up Android, then you’d need a mobile friendly OS alternative. I’m fine with linux, but it’s gonna take a while to catch up. So meanwhile… get it ?
oh my god! calm down, maybe look at who other people agree with more in this thread.
that’s not possible, because the source code is already publicly available. they can not delete it from the hard drives of custom rom developers.
However if google finished closing up AOSP, what that would mean is no more future development coming from google. that’s the same with other projects, including harmony: google does not submit patches there either.
you still did not answer how is harmony os a better option than AOSP
