    That will only work for some time, up to the point you've largely lost compatibility to actual recent Android versions.

    But, yeah, fine for me. As soon as this fictitious OS is actually there, I'd take a look.

    But I want to see that new mode of procedure actually working before I'd invest much effort. I don't believe in it at all.

    @pino @jeroensky @Tutanota You're using an OS without standard privacy/security patches and protections. Even the standard Android patches and protections are far from adequate to keep users safe, especially with AI models accelerating exploit development.

    Currently, your data is up for grabs by any app which wants to abuse known privacy and security vulnerabilities along with remote attacks. It isn't a theoretical problem. There are public exploits on GitHub which you don't have patched.

    Thank you for your hint. Yes, there's probably some risk. I'm not saying it's ideal. But, I think, the actual danger is manageable for me. I would absolutely take action, as soon as anything fundamentally better is available. And spend money. But any other AOSP fork isn't what I'm waiting for. It's still the "Google OS" (unless you manage to split it away from them). Even if you cleverly sell it as "operating system with Android app compatibility".
