- ethbro 9y agoIf all the vendor crap and secret drivers are abstracted out sufficiently, yes.
- petecox 9y agoThe bottom diagram suggests that the 'Android OS framework' could be made device independent, with Lineage OS only responsible for maintaining the 'Original vendor implementation'. A 'ROM' could then be split into 2 - the core system and the userspace running on top, with potentially the latter maintained by Google's AOSP across all devices.
