Read this post by GrapheneOS on X regarding Google delaying security patches to AOSP (Android Open Source Project)

It's a strange time to talk about Android protectingZ users. Android recently changed the security update system in a way which massively downgrades security and puts users at risk. Commercial exploit companies and governments can easily obtain access to broadly distributed partner previews. Adding 4 month delays for patches is atrocious.

In June, you folks claimed AOSP wasn't going anywhere:

You then proceeded to not release the July or August monthly updates to AOSP followed by not releasing the September quarterly update. You officially communicated to the media and said AOSP releases were continuing followed by 3 months of not pushing releases to it. Why should people believe what you say about sideloading?

I also remember reading that Google has stopped sharing their trees and driver binaries for their Pixel phones with ASOP. Alt-OS developers like GrapheneOS have been using these to build for the Pixel phones to have GrapheneOS as the phone's OS.

Now Google is shifting their reference from Pixel hardware to a virtual device called “Cuttlefish”

Now alt-OS developers are going to have to reverse engineer the Pixel phones just like any other phone.

It would be interesting if someone started building open-source phones based on the Cuttlefish and started selling them to Alt-OS developers.
