Historically, Google would ship the code for Pixel and a software emulator as "reference designs". Now, it's only shipped with the emulator. The Graphene Team needed to reconstruct the pixel code from the Android 15 release. Fortunately, the divergence between Android 15 and 16 was minimal, but I'm certain the division will widen as time goes by. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment load more comments (1 reply)
