The thing is that any new support for hardware is likely to land in newer version of the kernel. Halium ports are tied to a specific version of the kernel for ABI compatibility with the drivers the device vendor provides. And backporting those new drivers to the older kernels would probably be more work than it's worth.
Ahhh. Excellent point. Thank you.
so, for @developerbayman style AI assisted concept to work, either every single hardware driver would have to be created & built into modern kernel (for each phone or all phones), or, to use halium layer for the difficult parts, would mean custom modifying every kernel, for each old device, to use the newly created drivers and still talk to halium for some.
So, AI could make this possible, by saving time in some areas.
But, it seems this would end up not reducing the huge number of variations for all the different phone models.
Am I missing something here ?
