Ready-made AOSP device trees for Pixels, which are needed to build custom ROMs, are the ones going away. This is a blow to GrapheneOS as they have been dedicating 100% of their time to improving their ROM itself in the past few years.

Since at this point they'll need to create device trees like LineageOS does with Snapdragon/MTK phones, so I hope they won't stick with the worst Android manufacturer on Earth. Especially now that the snapdragon 8 elite 2 will have the same security features as the Tensors.

Never mind, it seems like they're thinking of wasting their time with a custom ODM-built smartphone. I truly hope they won't choose this route. If they do someone should add "Will the GrapheneOS-Phone fail?" on Polymarket, I'll bet my parents' house on it.

I agree that this would be a crazy choice and doomed to fail.

The Pixel device trees going away is very disappointing, but he headline "AOSP project is coming to an end" is an exaggeration.

could you elaborate why?

They are a niche OS and not everyone who uses graphene wants their hardware. They'll have low production quantity and thus very high costs.
