The source code for Android 16 QPR2 is now available following the update’s rollout for Pixel devices. Here’s why that matters.
Google has started uploading the source code for Android 16 QPR2 to AOSP following its release for Pixel devices today.
This marks a return to form for Google after the company surprisingly withheld the source code for Android 16 QPR1 for two months.
Developers can now access the new code on the AOSP Git repositories under the “android-16.0.0_r4” tag to begin building custom ROMs.
Earlier today, Google rolled out the big Android 16 QPR2 update for all Tensor-powered Pixel devices. While technically classified as a minor update, it’s anything but; it brings a wealth of new customization options, productivity features, security improvements, and developer APIs. Following the release, we wondered when Google would share the source code.
