Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android in c/[email protected]

Given that this depended on the Amazon App Store, and that Amazon seems to be moving away from Android dev in general, it seems clear that this is just a reaction.

I might need to read up on what a virtual carrier means...

Any suggestions?

What's that about Jio? I use Jio and Airtel and both support RCS so... I'm confused...

I mean, of course. Can you imagine a financially accessible Apple product letting you make hardware changes?

I hate the UI for alarms. It looks really disgusting...

We need better changelogs on all stores. (lemdro.id)
 

This is just an example, but there really needs to be a way to make sure they post a proper changelog... Like, is there a limitation on characters? Can't we set up a way to import the release notes from Github? Why is it this way?

It's a big question. I know.

But given that we have the source code to Android (AOSP) and the community to collaborate with, couldn't we just create an entire ROM filled with the necessary applications and utilities, all open source, and with modern UI?

It'll take a shit load of time, and effort. Definitely. But maybe if we banded together? A unified OS running only open source software, with the option for Google Services via something like MicroG, so that we don't need to worry.

I'm no expert. I'm just floating an idea. But I'd love to know if this is possible, step-by-step...

Edit: I know custom ROMs are a thing. I use one. I'm just saying, what if we go ahead and make an open source ecosystem that runs under the same project, so that there's a set of services and apps that are free, open source and non-corporate.

Edit2: I forgot the Lineage project exists. Nevermind 🤦🏻‍♂️. Let's just try to support it. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
