Would you prefer Android use something else? I for one am happy they use Linux, that's the point of one source and GPL they contribute back with changes it doesn't matter where you use it. They do have Fuschia in the plans, I'm not excited about Linux losing a market of billion of devices...GuiGuy wrote: Tue Apr 16, 2019 9:10 amShame it did not stop a certain "do no evil?" outfit from using the Linux kernel in their proprietary and highly restrictive mobile phone OS.asqwerth wrote: Tue Apr 16, 2019 7:53 am........

Wish I could find an alternative...
You can find custom images that use only the open source part of the Android kernel and OS, and avoid all the Google apps. It's the Google apps and Play store part that aren't open source.GuiGuy wrote: Tue Apr 16, 2019 9:24 am I take your point Adrian, but I really hate Google's ownership of my phone which I paid money for.

Edit: Just to be clear, IMO Apple are even worse.
