What Will Happen to Android?

4 pointsMrLey3 comments

Many have heard the news that Google plans to block users from installing APKs not signed by Google. But Google hasn't changed its mind yet. I'm wondering if there are people here who know much more than we do. How do you plan to handle this situation if it's not a threat, but a real plan from Google?"

Aren't there Android forks? I don't see this as a problem. We will have more choices and people will make them.

More and more manufacturers are banning the installation of custom firmware.

It totally depends on user not google. Google can make a settings to restict unsigned apk but not block.
