We'll be making at least one more Android 15 QPR2 release soon to ship backports of important firmware and driver security patches released with Android 16. This wouldn't usually be required since we'd have Android 16 released to end users using the Alpha channel and soon Beta.

We've ported all of our features to Android 16. However, part of our hardware-based USB-C and pogo pins port control feature may need to be reimplemented due to being part of device support code. We have a lot of work remaining reimplementing device support removed by AOSP 16.

I bet they are, but without access to the pixel build files, some features might not be feasible anymore or require much more work.

Something tells me that with how passionate these guys are this was probably just a crunch to avoid the unacceptable result of the project falling behind, but isn't sustainable. They'll burn out if this is what they have to do every time, and they probably know that and tried to avoid it.

I hope they'll succed building their own hardware line. I would buy it if not too expensive.
