AOSP is open source, android isn't
I might have misunderstood that all those years, but custom roms like graphene or lineage all use the AOSP source to build "their" stuff on top. Android itself is all the proprietary shit google adds and probably bunch of proprietary firmware drivers, which isn't relevant in the slightest if you switch to a supported device.
Not quite, but I would accept that.
AOSP is an open source OS based on a Linux kernel. Importantly, it is not a linux distro. GrapheneOS and LineageOS are downstream, open source derivatives of AOSP. Android is the same, but is proprietary.
Android isn't just what is added on top of AOSP, just like Ubuntu isn't just things added on top of Debian, but a complete OS.
Hope that helps
Yeah, that's roughly what I thought, in which case switching to graphene (or any other custom rom) would completely "release" you from the proprietary grasp of google and their genius ideas. Because even if they add this 24hr lockdown in the AOSP-Project, graphene could rather easiely revert that change in their fork.
Yes. Most of those AOSP forks still use elements of android (google play services) for compatibility reasons.
Graphene doesn't, they got their own sandboxed google play services compatibility layer. Other OS - no idea tbh.
It's actually the opposite. GOS GPS are real GPS, most other AOSP distros use MicroG, which is reimplementation of GPS.
It's real GPS, but within a sandbox without additional permissions. https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play
