I learned only yesterday that Google is going to effectively shut down open android. So I’m gonna have to move away from there. But what are my options? Is there a nice website that lists and compares alternatives?
I hear that Graphene is the goat, but I’m not on a pixel phone. Currently I’m on a Samsung galaxy a15
I hear about lineageOS as a good second, but it sounds like Google’s decision to close down android might affect lineage too.
I hear about others, but I’m not too well versed in running obscure OS.
The android/iOS duopoly is consolidating. No one will want to develop their apps for a third platform, especially if it’s an obscure one. Remember Windows 8/8.1/10 Mobile? If Microsoft couldn’t get people to develop apps for their platform, what chance does some tiny development team have? Especially when there’s little to no financial incentive.
I’m also sceptical of android compatibility solutions. You can bet that banking apps will eventually try to break compatibility “for security reasons”. We’re not winning any games of cat and mouse here.
