XperiaX + AOSP
Hi there,
I'm using a Jolla 1 device for almost 4 years now, and I'm mostly satisfied with it. However, the device is getting older and older, and my display and battery ( it is already the second battery, it is 3rd party ) has some issues. Since I see the progress with the SailfishX, I've started to think, if I should buy an Xperia XA2, and buy a Sailfish X license for it, but I'm a bit confused. 1. What is AOSP? It is some kind of Android stuff, which Sailfish X built on? A framework? What else? 2. Do I need a google account, to set the device ready for the OS change?
I've tried to check the forum, saw different things, but still not 100% clear, how the whole thing works. If anyone of you can describe, it would be great.
regards
Laszlo
AOSP = Android Open Source Project

I'm using a Jolla 1 device, which has Sailfish OS by default, without any magic. It has never had any contact with Google. Since I don't want this in the future as well, I would like to know, what this AOSP stands for. Is Sailfish X completly different from the Sailfish I'm using with Jolla 1? It is some kind of "Android fork"? Has it any connection with Google?
