Pixel device and hardware repositories have been removed in Android 16. The kernel prebuilt repositories referenced in this post have been removed from the manifest and don't have Android 16 tags. Is there going to be a post from Google about the end of AOSP support for Pixels? Existing official documentation no longer works and many public promises have been broken.
GrapheneOS was provided with early warning of this happening in April 2025 by someone with inside information. Further information beyond what's now public was provided about upcoming changes further reducing what's published beyond dropping Pixel support. We didn't know if the information we received was reliable, but now several parts of it including the removal of Pixel support from AOSP have been confirmed. Is the lack of GPL sources for platform repositories with Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 and Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 intentional?
