            Like a google or Apple would ever allow that an almost 2 billion country will could have and only use OS which will be restricted for the most populated country in the world.
            I would like to witness that kind of joke.

              I hope somebody is going to develop OS that can kill or at least compete with the damn windows OS because it's been dominating for a while and it's getting jaded.

                Should force all brands that sell there tocadopt for local devices.
                Enough with iOS wanna-be android skins.

                  It is simple, use open source android, change code names, and give it a new name, Harmony as an example.

                    This is very interesting. Maybe the OS will be good. Who knows? But there is a backdoor element of state spying. Which they all do any way. For decades.

                      They haven't said why they want to do so!!

                          Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Touch are still alive. Volla phone can be bought with Ubuntu Touch OS.
