    I like your spirit, but I don’t think a Chinese equivalent to Google Play Services would be more desirable

      All I want is unified push really. Then you just choose your server or host your own.

    I mean they just replace Google with their own Chinese data-mining services so, no, not cool.

      No no no, it’s not Chinese data mining.

      it’s just socialised data with Chinese characteristics! Much better.

      Exactly what happened with Indonesian release of Huawei.

      Also, more ads everywhere. Even your lock screen.

    They are already degoogled for the Chinese market. What the Chinese Android variants to not have is a shared replacement for Play Services and a shared app store because everyone is doing their own thing for maps API, payment, …

  It also says:

  It is currently unknown whether these companies would aim for compatibility with existing Android apps or follow the path of Huawei’s latest HarmonyOS NEXT, which removes Android app support entirely

  So, it’s not clear yet.

  The US/China decoupling is happening everywhere.

    The front line is everywhere, there be no shelter here.

      They got you searching for the thin line between entertainment and war.

    I live in Asia. I’m European and meet a lot of Chinese tourists. Trying to find a common ground with digital services we both use is impractical to the point where we often can’t connect online.

  I thought android in China was already de-googled

  source

  • nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Some Chinese phone release outside China also began to de-googled as well. At least that’s the case for Huawei in Indonesia.

    Too bad that what you want in a Google-free Android distro isn’t what the manufacturers want.

  So like how Huawei was hyping up their new mobile OS which was really just AOSP?

    This was a transitional stage, HarmonyOS Next is running a fully different kernel and runtime

    • pycorax@lemmy.world ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Well there’s that, but I was talking more about how they were selling it when hey first announced it. My point is that they’ve lied before. I’ll believe it when I see it.

    HarmonyOS is not AOSP anymore. It does not run Android apps anymore.
