There's a new initiative called 'eelo'[1] which claims that it will be a drop-in ROM replacement for existing Android phones. Apparently it's built using a modified AOSP[2] using their own open-source software components. They are focusing on privacy and security. I'm not convinced they'll ever release anything substantial, but it's good to see another player in the Mobile OS space trying to challenge the status quo.

Initial targets will be LeEco Le2 and Xiaomi Mi5S. They aim to also support this extensive list: https://eelo.io/img/supporteddevices.txt

Reminds me I should check out MicroG again (replaces Google services).
