Mishaal Rahman | On Google dropping support for AOSP Dialer and Messaging App

EDIT: Apparently Lineage has their own dialer anyways so this comment seems invalid

Great, more burden for LineageOS et al while AOSP is getting worse. Google used to share ALL the improvements into AOSP which Nexus used. All the good stuff is now proprietary Google apps that don't respect you. I still miss AOSP Email and so far nothing replaces it UI wise.

Although it doesn't affect most ROMs, it still is disappointing for AOSP hobbyists.

waiting for them to open up RCS to third party apps!

I am afraid, Google might never do it.

I feel like they have no incentive to ever do this, and love the stranglehold they have over the standard

Sorry, you need to blame apple for this /s
