Shifting Gears: Google Holds Back Pixel Code, Raising Questions About Android's Open Future
Google's release of Android 16 without the usual Pixel device-specific source code has stirred debate about the future of Android's open-source model. Traditionally, Google has provided device-specific code for Pixel phones, allowing developers to build and customize Android for these devices. However, this year's absence of such code is affecting custom ROM development, including projects like CalyxOS. The change could indicate either a delay or a policy shift, both of which pose challenges for developers relying on open-source Android. This unexpected move highlights the evolving nature of Android's development model and its implications for the broader Android ecosystem.
