• 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.

    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.

      If google completely closed up Android

      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
