Google is trying to kill open source based on the assumption that their code is good enough to stand on its own, but as we’ve seen before, the majority of innovation that occurs on Android and it’s derivatives come from third party developers.
I’m using LineageOS. A new dialer app wouldn’t be that hard (not needed on a tablet) and there are plenty of messaging apps.
Good old Google, never, ever fails to fucking disappoint !
No ROMs even use these apps. They all have their own forked version of a dialer and messages.
This doesn’t matter. Literally every custom ROM comes with its own forked version of the AOSP dialer and messages.
This is a good thing. It’s removing garbage bloat that no ROMs even use.
