Meanwhile, AOSP is fully working, open source Linux-based phone software that runs on lots of modern hardware from a variety of manufacturers. Distributions like GrapheneOS have put huge effort into de-googling, privacy and security. Cameras work. SMS works. Phone calls work. There are lots of apps. I hear there are even a few phones that can do wireless charging!
Why waste any more mindshare on the Pinephone?
Android is a horrible platform to hack on. I'd much rather hack on something closer to base Linux - think Maemo or similar.
