> Google's decision to deprecate two key open-source apps
What are "two key open-source apps"?
> Google has quietly deprecated support for the Dialer and Messaging apps in AOSP. This means brands need to use their own apps or Google’s latest phone and messaging apps.
Don't custom ROMs use either their own dialer apps or Google's apps already? What are the options other than Goole and your own?
> Custom ROM developers might need to develop their own phone and texting apps
How is this a problem? Developing a basic dialer or a messaging app seems a trivial task (perhaps I'm wrong, I can only judge on the UI/functionality and don't know the internals).
