Hardware wise, I’m not sure. Google Pixels seem to be the most likely hardware target in the short term.
Software wise… Probably GrapheneOS and LinageOS forking Android to create a community OS around it, and PostmarketOS as the full Linux phone distro.
There’s bigger problem is going to be replication of the backend services Google provides. Push services for instance. That’s going to be a project in itself.
