I don't understand the need to be all the time updated with the bleeding edge upstream when there aren't enough devs/contributors. Every underfunded understaffed project fails the same way: tying to keep up.
Just skip a version. The world won't end.

They already did that. The previous release was based on Android 6, and is functionally useless nowadays given that it only runs on a couple of Samsung devices all released around 2011-12.
If you're trying to maintain a fork of a large open-source project, and especially one which needs to interoperate with external systems like Android, keeping up with upstream releases is not optional. The upstream will move on without you.
