I really want such project to succeed but I guess there is no market or enough money to make it happen.

I've also asked repeatedly why those kind of projects are not using android forks instead of other things, and I never got an answer that made sense.

Android is open source and has proven that it's a robust system, I don't understand why people want to use something else.

I use an Android fork, but I can understand why they'd want to use Linux. If they succeeded you'd start seeing more cross pollination of apps from the desktop, and perhaps more mobile focus from Linux devs.

Also, has anyone really done anything more than just tweak AOSP? Honest question, I don't know. If say Google completely abandoned the AOSP and went full Fuschia (I know this isn't likely), is there any individual or group out there that knows enough about AOSP to take it over?
