Hi, everyone. rmp here.

I'm just here to clear some things up about the ongoing issue in which we are being accused of stealing code from RisingOS Revived without crediting them.

During our teaser for the new customizable QS, some users found that our QS design resembled One UI. This resulted in some people who follow both Axion and RisingOS comparing the QS designs due to some similarities (im assuming it was the slider).

I'm going to provide proof that we didn't copy their code, nor are we interested in stealing it.

All of the code used in the new QS redesign already exists in our source. We just reused it.

1. QS tile style:
https://github.com/AxionAOSP/android_frameworks_base/blob/lineage-23.2/packages/SystemUI/src/com/android/systemui/qs/panels/ui/compose/infinitegrid/AxTileStyle.kt

Another proof is that in the initial versions of AxionOS, we already shipped circle tile styles, but they were reverted due to issues on widescreen devices.

2. The slider design was based on One UI 8.5. I own a S23+ as you see on the screenshots and i have no reason to use external sources for reference in this, plus people find it odd so it wont likely be on the final design, i only tried it since I'm finding ways to render the slider so that it is not too thick on widescreen devices or low column count.
The slider used is from AOSP itself:
https://github.com/AxionAOSP/android_frameworks_base/blob/lineage-23.2/packages/SystemUI/compose/core/src/com/android/compose/PlatformSlider.kt

The design is not final, since I'm still prototyping different styles that will meet Material 3 Expressive, as we don't want to embrace the iOS design every OEM follows.

3.We are not interested in the One UI design at all. It doesn't meet our guidelines and is not compatible with the Material 3 Expressive design.
We already have our own resizing API references, and we don't need external references.

The commit was pushed way earlier than the RisingOS QS source code release, and we have been reusing the same logic across different apps, such as AxPcMode QS drag-and-drop, Lockscreen widget resizing.
All of these APIs were based on AOSP drag-and-drop:
https://github.com/AxionAOSP/android_packages_apps_AxThemePicker/commit/2ecb920468457ae780985a77b5c318423a0ba3d9

4. In the last Axion release, we introduced an A17 QS port. We used the same infra and just reorganized the elements to meet the new design.
https://github.com/AxionAOSP/android_frameworks_base/commit/c31daf99051dff0f205de5b48b58fd277c9b92b3


5. Our goal was to provide a customizable QS panel where users can freely customize the QS. This is already partially introduced in the existing source code way before RisingOS QS code was pushed.
feature commit: https://github.com/AxionAOSP/android_frameworks_base/commit/41b1f7986e222662a6c809fea0259b37174db2ff, so way even before the OneUI QS was made, we are already eyeing on this feature.

Aside from these proofs, we will also release the source code in a few days. We have already provided some screenshots of the WIP source code, but unfortunately, we can't release a prototype design yet.

We are making this statement to justify our work and not to tell the world that our code is superior (it's quirky and not the best, and I know it). We do not steal anything from anyone, and we always try to give credit where it is due and add co-authorships or keep authorships.

And we are not petty enough to skip credits because of ego. If we really did use RisingOS's work, we should have already added credits. But no, we will stand on this hill, and we will justify our work.

Also, I don't have the luxury of checking other projects at all, since I have a job and currently focused on fixing 80+ issues so we can reach stable and also have a lot of pending AxionOS TODOs.

Once the code is pushed, please feel free to audit it however you want.

We do not want any conflicts with other projects, so please wait for the source code before you accuse us. We will accept the criticism and apologize if there is ever any stolen code. Thank you.

Have a good day.
