In March 2025, Google announced a change to its internal workflow. Previously, some of Android's development was visible in public AOSP repositories in real-time, while most was done privately within Google. To improve efficiency, Google is now conducting all of its Android development privately.
However, Google will continue to publish the complete, finalized source code for every stable Android release to AOSP. This means that while the day-to-day development is no longer public, the end result remains open source.

Autofocus (AF) on smartphones is the process of determin-
ing how to move a cameraโs lens such that certain scene content is in
focus. The underlying algorithms used by AF systems, such as contrast
detection and phase differencing, are well established. However, deter-
mining a high-level objective regarding how to best focus a particular
scene is less clear. This is evident in part by the fact that different smart-
phone cameras employ different AF criteria; for example, some attempt
to keep items in the center in focus, others give priority to faces while
others maximize the sharpness of the entire scene.
There are two predominant types of passive AF: phase difference autofo-
cus (PDAF) and contrast detection autofocus (CDAF). PDAF operates at a
hardware/optics level and aims to adjust the lens position such that the phase
between two light rays coming from a scene point is matched. The PDAF hard-
ware module can be designed in two ways: (1) half sub-mirror with line sensor
as used in older DSLR cameras [1,2] and (2) on-sensor dual-pixel layouts used
in modern DSLR and smartphone cameras [3,4]. Compared with CDAF, PDAF
methods are able to approximate the optimal lens position in a single processing
step; however, PDAF alone is generally not sufficient to give an accurate focusing
lens position.
CDAF is the most common approach used in DLSR and smartphone cam-
eras. CDAF operates by applying low-level image processing algorithms (i.e.,
gradient magnitude analysis) to determine the sharpness of a single image or region of interest (ROI). Because CDAF works on a single image,
the camera lens needs to be moved back and forth until the image sharpness
measure is maximized.

Any Phone, or any Device for that matter, is about Drivers. When it comes to two way Radios, and Cellular Encryption, it gets even worse.
With all of the individual sub-devices in todays Phones, like Cameras, both EO and IR Sensors, Touch Screens, with Biometric Sensors, and all of that Biometric having to go through the Hardware Layer, Middle Security Layer, and then the Software Layer to work properly, not to mention Sound Boards, Speakers, Video Cards, and then all of the Radio Equipment, and its encrypting Devices, that communicates with the Cellular Providers, its a wonder that linux runs at all.
Just as we know with rooting or flashing Phones, each specific Device has its own specific Hardware Driver Requirements. Every Phone would literally have to have a Custom Linux ROM made specifically for that Model. Most Phones have limited Internal Storage. A "one size fits all" Download is impossible, with the literally millions of Hardware/Driver combinations that would be necessary. The Phone wouldn't even hold the Installer. Most Computers wouldn't hold something that size either.
ROMs are custom brewed by Manufacturers and hacking Devs for that reason. The Phone Manufacturers know this, and purposely make their Hardware Drivers uncompatible in Linux, or other operating systems. Until a group of Devs settle in, get rid of Android, and work on a specific Device, with a specific OS and Driver package, linux in a phone is going to be very rare.

Grok Integration
Pavel Durov announced that Telegram has reached an agreement with Elon Musk to integrate Grok into the messenger this summer.
The one-year partnership will give Telegram users access to xAIโs Grok chatbot.
Telegram will receive $300 million in cash and equity from xAI, as well as 50% of revenue from xAI subscriptions sold through Telegram. Grok may be sold as a separate subscription.
Privacy
Pavel Durov claims that Telegram will only send Grok the data that the user and their chat partners decide to share. The founder of the messenger did not specify whether xAI has the right to train its models on data received from Telegram users.
Note that these words should not be taken as a long-term guarantee โ Telegram has changed its approach to privacy in the past, even after making promises.
What features can we expect?
In his post, Pavel Durov presented a video concept of future features. It is worth noting that in their final forms, the features may not work as shown in the demonstration.
1. Grok pinned for all users (0:02)
It is likely that the bot can be unpinned โ there is an โunpinโ button displayed in the video.
2. Questions through global search (0:04)
A Grok button will appear in global search, clicking on which sends the search query to the Grok chatbot.
3. Communication in threads (0:08)
Communication with Grok may be done in several threads in parallel, the interface will look similar to forums, but in private with the bot.
4. Editing text before sending (0:12)
Upon selecting text in the message input field and pressing โAI Toolsโ, you will be offered options to rewrite the text: to โImproveโ, โExpandโ, or โChange Toneโ. The new menu is added right before Formatting options in the floating bar.
5. Chat summarization (0:16)
By holding down the unread message indicator, you may select the โSummarizeโ option to get a summary of the chatโs unread messages.
The interface also shows a selector for the range of messages the model will have access to, and the tone of the narrative. It may be possible to get a summary not only for unread messages, but also for messages you choose.
6. Document summarization (0:20)
In the context menu of PDF files uploaded to Telegram, you will be able to select the โSummarizeโ option to get a digest of the text inside, without opening the file.
7. Link summarization (0:24)
If you long press a link in a message and select the โSummarizeโ option, the chatbot will generate a digest of the Instant View article. The summary text may be listened to as audio.
It is not clear whether this function will be available for links without Instant View.
8. Moderating groups (0:28)
Automated moderation of group chats is shown.
In the example, Grok issues a warning to the user and threatens with a ban for repeated violations. How exactly admins will be able to set rules and control the number of warnings is unclear.
9. Grok in 1-on-1 chats (0:32)
It will be possible to configure the chatbot so that it responds in personal messages on behalf of the user. The video also shows how you will be able to monitor the botโs responses in real time and a button to intercept control.
10. Fact-checking in channels (0:36)
A โFact-Checkโ button will appear in the context menu of messages in channels.
What sources the model will use and how reliable such reviews will be is unknown.
11. Generating stickers (0:40)
The sticker editor will allow you to describe the desired sticker using text to generate new stickers, including video stickers.
12. Generating avatars (0:44)
Similar to stickers, it will be possible to generate avatars for your profile.
In the video, the user asks to change the background of their avatar, while the userโs face is preserved. Perhaps users will be able to not only generate images from scratch, but also ask to edit their own photos.
