    Mayor parts that are very much necessary for a fully functional Android system are closed source. Play Services is a big one.

      Yes. I would like to see a DIY selfhosted replacement for play services that is a direct swap in, in the sense that as an end user I couldn’t tell the difference (notifications primarily)

      Edit: wow! Didn’t realize selfhosting replacements for Google services is so controversial!
