@OpenSource @foss It would be great if we had a LineageOS/GrapheneOS image that would be similar to Linux distros where they could be installed on any Android phone and it would auto download/install all the drivers needed for the phone to be fully functional. I really hope there is some work being done on this in the background.

so a Generic System Image rom? afaik that's what they do, but I think the phone has to support it, and there is something to do with "Treble". I don't know too much about it though

That's in parts what is happening with #plasmamobile

And since Android is gradually closing its source, that's probably the way to go anyway
