> Does the Android team take patches from those outside Google? Yes: http://source.android.com/source/submit-patches.html http://source.android.com/source/submit-patches.html But since you can't see the current state of development, you can't know whether your fix is even relevant anymore. That's a big reason why I prefer to use and contribute to CyanogenMod, and if Google ever wants to cherry-pick my patches (minor though they are), they're welcome to it.
