What exactly will happen to Custom Roms when #Google will change #Android as we used to know it this summer?
Do they have a future?
Does anyone have an opinion on #Linux Distros for smartphones
#Ubuntu Touch is supposedly running in a managable way. @postmarketOS OS still takes time to work as a daily driver. Any other distros out there?

Keep Android Open. En agosto de 2025, Google anunció que, a partir de septiembre de 2026, ya no será posible desarrollar aplicaciones para la plataforma Android sin haberse registrado previamente en Google. https://keepandroidopen.org/es/
Sólo quedarán las distribuciones de #Android basadas en #AOSP.
Wait, #Google did not include the new #Android 16 QPR2 Desktop Mode in the #AOSP ? And that is why it is not included in #LineageOS 23.2 ?
I don't know which swearwords to use in order to express my disappointment.
Well, one more reason to dislike Google and encourage people to #deGoogle their life.
Sadly, the page 4 of slides of #FOSDEM talk "Mainline kernel for Fairphones - 2026 update" shows that #PostmarketOS on #Fairphone 4 still doesn't do video out.

Secondo analisi tecniche indipendenti, la maggior parte degli #smartphone commerciali integra servizi con privilegi di sistema che raccolgono #telemetria e dati di utilizzo in modo continuativo.
#GrapheneOS nasce proprio per rispondere a questa criticità, ridefinendo la base del #sistemaoperativo a partire dal codice dell’ #Android Open Source Project ( #AOSP )e introducendo meccanismi di isolamento, #hardening e controllo delle autorizzazioni più avanzati.

#FreeSoftware developers helped make #Android what it is today. #Google set the tone at the start by making it a more open ecosystem than #iOS and others. We saw #AOSP and its #OpenSource core, and we contributed code, built essential libraries and indispensable apps for the #platform because it was more #open. Now Google wants to take that way from everyone by becoming the sole arbiter of what apps run
@t3n nicht #Android, sondern #GooglePlay + #Android.

Bonjour,
est ce qu'une personne aurait, en sa possession une #ROM pour #samsung #galaxy #S5 #klte. Je voulais montrer aux plus jeunes comment #rooter puis changer de ROM mais j'ai fais un peut trop de ménage sur mes disques externes 😭.

Lilbits: MSI Cubi mini PC with Intel Panther Lake, LineageOS 23.2, and an open source IDE/ATAPI drive emulator
During CES, MSI unveiled the Cubi NUC AI+ 3MG mini PC with support for up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 Panther Lake processor. Now the company has started teasing an impending launch, promising to deliver a little computer with support for up to four displays, dual 2.5 Gigabit network ports, and AI capabilities, among other things.
One thing to know is that these little computers will not feature […]

Android's slow creep towards being closed source continues on - open source elements deprecated
Google fined for restrictive agreements on forking Android: GOOD!
How does Google get away with this?
I wonder how many of the people that are posting about European digital sovereignty and about open source today have a European and/or open-source operating system on their own smartphones, tablets and PCs....

Somebody with an old Samsung Tab 2 (gt-5110)? What to do with it in 2026?

If you happen to be looking for a different Mastodon app for android to try out, I've been using Pachli, and I'm liking it quite a lot.
A great project to try out.
- Clean interface.
- Can customize the font.
- Images and avatars load fast.
- App is responsive.
- Doesn't load duplicate posts.
- project is active and contantly updated.
Here is the project's github site.
