I'll be releasing updated documentation on building proper production releases of Chromium and the Android Open Source Project with all the security features intact. As part of twitter.com/DanielMicay/st, there will be a manifest for testing AOSP with the new hardened allocator.

I'm working on properly integrating github.com/AndroidHardeni into Bionic. However, I won't be able to expand my hardening work on the Android Open Source Project into a broader set of projects again without having proper funding for the development work, hardware and server costs.

It won't have any other privacy and security improvements until further work is funded. I won't be fixing all of the upstream bugs uncovered by the hardened allocator myself so it will probably have a lot of issues for the time being. It will have a bare minimum set of changes.

If there was funding for making production hardened AOSP builds, progress could be made on chipping away at upstream bugs uncovered by the hardened malloc implementation. There could also be official releases with automatic updates and proper CTS + VTS testing for each release.

I won't be expanding it into a broader project without the appropriate funding / resources though. The scope is limited to integrating the hardened malloc implementation into AOSP and setting up proper builds of that. It won't be very usable/useful without fixing uncovered bugs.

I am working on an reproducible build/sign/release system for Pixel 3 devices: github.com/hashbang/os I plan on incorperating your work incrementally. Feel free to reach out if you want to collaborate at all, else just keep open sourcing stuff and I'll keep doing my thing :)

Using those driver packages won't provide fully functional builds and will break verified boot and some other security features. Most of the components in the vendor image are open source too, so if you want to build what you can from source you need to assemble it yourself.
