As noted by the news release from CalyxOS and Mastodon thread from GrapheneOS, Google did not release the Pixel device-specific source code alongside their Android 16 AOSP release like they usually do. I think many of us, including myself, are hoping this will be published in the near future, but considering they moved AOSP development behind closed doors earlier this year, it’s more likely Google has stopped publishing this section or their code altogether, making development of custom ROMs for Pixel devices significantly more difficult. Sad news for the Android ecosystem, and for open source in general.

    that Google was making Android closed-source

    That’s disinformation.

    From reading the rest:

    • You released misinformation ( Google is just open sourcing the releases, but not the dev builds of AOSP. nothing about Apps, nothing about Closed sourcing)
    • You failed to read the comments on your post and imagined something here again
    • And now go on a rant about eSims.

    To be honest, I think the problem here is not Google, but your inability to read.
