Can someone explain what this? Is it a fork of Android with the Google service apps rewritten? Or just the latter? Could I take an old Android OS and install

Can someone explain what this? Is it a fork of Android with the Google service apps rewritten? Or just the latter?
Could I take an old Android OS and install the alternative Gapps?
Yours, confused.
- libeclipse 9y agoIt's a fork of LineageOS, which is the daughter of CyanogenMod, which is a fork of Android. Only difference when comparing against LineageOS is that the OpenGApps package is "free".

- sleepychu 9y agoLineage OS is a fork of Android. This is a fork of Lineage which replaces all the binary blobs to make the Google services work with open source code (with the same or similar behaviour). I don't know for sure but probably not, the services aren't UserReplaceable.
