Android 15 is released to AOSP with new features and improvements, including tools for app development, typography, internationalization, and more.
Gotta update again… :/
Unfortunately, no significant changes
Feels like Android is way mature OS than any competitors. So Google don’t need to do anything. Just use the market position to milk more money through AI.
That’s definitely not true. We still don’t have focus modes or widgets on lock screen or maybe 3rd party lock screens clocks or the ability to mute notifications on an app/channel or desktop mode.
All those lockscreen features have been a thing before, but got removed for some reason
Pixel updates will still take a few weeks, IIRC they are announced for early october.
How is AOSP? Is it still good without all the proprietary code from Google? The last I read about it, I read that Google purposely put a lot of functionality into the play services to keep the code proprietary. Has that gimped AOSP, or is it still strong?
You can use it, but you wouldn’t want to as a daily driver.
google stripped a lot of stuff off from aosp. you are supposed to use a custom rom like lineageos nowadays.
It’s basically unusable. Use a custom ROM that fixes AOSP/makes it a lot more usable.
The linked changes look like some great polish and housekeeping work.
