There was - cyanogenmod. Then they got greedy, screwed most of their open source contributors, and were dumb enough to actually claim they were going to take out Android.
End results was Google pulling more and more out of the base OS to prevent anyone from ever really forking android again, as well as cyanogenmod leadership screwing several OEM partners (oneplus in India), and they're basically dead now.
The community is still there but it seems like it took a massive hit after that debacle.
- zozbot123 8y agoThese days, PostmarketOS is trying to support those older devices, and in a way that actually takes out Android! ...out of the device I mean, haha. But IIRC, most devices that CM used to run on, only had 512MB of RAM-- and that's honestly not enough to even browse the web on nowadays. (Many of them are also on earlier flavors of ARM that would be a bit harder to support natively, with e.g. Alpine having dropped support for anything earlier than ARM7.)
