Google is about to make life more difficult for custom ROM fans

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Simple-Calendar

    A simple calendar with events, tasks, customizable colors, widgets and no ads.

  • Most custom ROMs don't seem to use the AOSP dialer anyway. I've mostly seen forks with some nice features Google's dialer still lacks (called recording, for one).

    AOSP hasn't been a useful Android distribution for years. Luckily, you can make it useful through third party apps like the Simple apps: https://www.simplemobiletools.com/

  • It looks like LineageOS's Dialer is still mostly based on AOSP. At the very least, recent developments are mostly just merging code from Google: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Dialer/co...

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Simple-SMS-Messenger
