On June 10th, Google released Android 16 to AOSP - but without Pixel device-specific source code. This unexpected change impacts all custom Android ROM development, including CalyxOS or others. Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is coming to end. Sources:
* grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/
* calyxos.org/news/2025/06/11/an
* androidauthority.com/google-an
* source.android.com/docs/setup/

* FYI AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers androidauthority.com/google-no

This is a s screenshot of a Discord conversation from "grapheneos.grapheneos.org" which reads: "yes we received information that AOSP is being discontinued they said the first step would be Android 16 dropping the Pixel repositories we didn't really believe it now we can see the first part has happened according to the source, the official Android is becoming closed source it will no doubt be continued as an open source project outside Google or a new Android company split from Google by the US court system it's possible this will all be reversed if it's split from Googlee".
