Google is making it harder to build custom ROMs for Pixel phones

Google is reportedly making developers request Pixel kernel code via Google Forms, causing long delays for custom ROMs like GrapheneOS.

    I am not planning to work on the FP5 unless there is significant demand, might run a poll after i’m done with the FP6. The most sensible phone after the FP6 seems to be the FP6 plus that will be coming out, depends on how much of the hardware is the same but since its a refresh it should be pretty similar.

    Also you linked the wrong repo, my repo is: https://forgejo.catcrafts.net/Catcrafts/milos-linux

      Thanks for letting me know about the wrong link, should be fixed now.

      FP6+ makes sense. I initially figured you wouldn’t go for the FP5, because I don’t immediately see it for sale on the Fairphone website or anywhere else.

      By the way, I think it’s really cool you’re going to be offering FP6 w/ PostMarketOS in the near future. My phone is still in good working order (and don’t want to create needless e-waste), but not excited about the Google lock-down, so may be looking to switch out in the next year. Depends if I can get any decent price for my phone, otherwise probably ride it until its closer to death or the google lock-down becomes too rough.
