Wrong. See my other post. Google provides OTA patches for manual installation.


Ah, so I have the source code for the kernel to patch it manually?

I have the source for the firmware to patch that manually, too?

You are still proposing I run proprietary software that can be abandoned at any time, and where I have no way to continue fixing it if it is abandoned.

We’ve seen that with several Nexus devices before, the chipmaker abandoned the SoC, Google couldn’t fix issues because of that, and we didn’t get OTAs from anyone to fix things.
