A few days ago, gu Ge held the I/O developer plenary meeting this year in Shan Jingcheng. And the of all kinds soft hardware that rolls out this in the activity is tasted newly, let what the outside weighs his be " unitive congress, triumphal congress, successful congress " . Also attracted the Android developer that comes from the whole world and OEM manufacturer, for the Android Q bang the drum for sb that appears first.
193 days are lain between when, the new city that install eminent occupied plan of the state that lead cake to come
Releasing brand-new Android Q, more Gu Ge assistant of intelligence, with model of Pixel 3a series besides, cereal song respect also announced a few external " little data " . Among them, in when the announces on Android developer website once more Android after lying between 193 days of each version occupy show than data, go up formally the Android P that the line exceeded 9 months, the share that achieved to exceed 10% eventually (10.4% ) .
Meanwhile, stephanie Cuthbertson of Android senior inspector general also announces, the Android equipment accumulative total that runs on Google Play has exceeded 2.5 billion, consider the product of domestic mobile phone that uses the system that install eminent again, undoubted and whole modes of life and relation to their environment already of beyond challenge giant.
If observed carefully,do not pass newest the Android system that announce takes picture of the state that compare cake, can understand very quickly why to be in the time of half an year in the past, gu Ge should stop to update this to be occupied. Although the government gives out the explanation is, "Unexpected Loss Of The Source Of The Usage Data (accident of service data source is missing) " , but the performance that presents finally is very not good however. Since its begin 2 years, the portion altogether of Android P+Android O has 39.7% only, and the circumstance that the portion of Android 2.3/4.1/4.3 also appeared not to fall to rise instead.
Android system occupies plan of the state that compare cake to having very important sense actually to developer, their market share according to each version systems, what can combine oneself circumstance adjust measures to local conditions is affirmatory, oneself APP needs the lowermost API level that be aimed at, reach in development go up newlier make adjust.
Accordingly the viewpoint thinks, gu Ge is as long as of half an year quiet, with the apple releases IPhone sales volume to having same reason no longer now -- expression is really embarrassed, send may affect share price. And as contrast, be later than the IOS 12 that Android P rolls out, after issueing 5 months, be in capacity of aircraft of traditional Chinese clothing of all IOS equipment was achieved 83% .
But if say to want why two circumstance difference is such big, actually no more than is the apple needs to safeguard only 10 come paragraph IOS equipment, and there are tens of domestic OEM firms in whole Android zoology, every average be in in carry out type 10 above. Because this causes whole Android market to present the state that gives broken up, the former unripe Android that is Gu Ge no matter is other still tripartite ROM, want to face different SoC, different resolution, and different screen will part comfortable match.
The effort that fragment of cereal song close turns, had not succeeded temporarily
The fragment changes the heel of Achilles that is Android, although annual the system that Gu Ge can roll out a new version, but after a few months its can be used by one fraction equipment only. Because the development cost of OEM manufacturer is very high,this basically is, and a lot of user lack are taken care of. However antiquated software may be insecure, so cereal song respect also is doing his best, the hope will solve this problem.
Gu Ge is in early brand-new means was rolled out when Android O is released, with Project Treble will " systematic layer " and " drive layer " fractionation, removed drive at systematic version " link up with " mechanism, allow chip manufacturer to roll out the drive of new version of long-term and compatible future, and make sure it can be in Android of the following new edition need not revise also can use normally. The circumstance in its ideal is, if you bought a mobile phone that supports Project Treble, when Gu Ge rolls out Android P/Q/R, your mobile phone can be in a few obtain inside week update, and need not await a few months in that way like other type.
Although ideal is very plump, but reality however very bone feeling. Although the Android type after Android 8.0 supported Project Treble basically, can make OEM manufacturer right as a result of the Zhang that owes on history of whole Android system of old model transform interest to be short of. The engineer of some manufacturer before the example is such once very straight point out in vain, the manufacturer is not willing the core problem of follow-up Project Treble, revising rock-bottom partition at Android 7.0 and the old model need before ability is comfortable match Project Treble.
Right, the operating system that having great difference basically has been before the Android nowadays and this, before Android 7.0 times, gu Ge has partition without compulsive requirement manufacturer, this makes demesne file and systematic file lump. And a mobile phone wants to prop up Project Treble, a partition increases in ground floor with respect to need, system and Vendor these two divisional and relevant mirrors part, facilitate can be updated conveniently and upgrade System, and do not depend on the ground floor such as Vendor.
If the manufacturer wants to let old model support Project Treble,this is brought about, the means that upgrades through OTA with respect to need undertakes redraw to partition, but the data of itself of the user in this one process is met by direct erasure, and this is planted to the mobile phone " cerebrum " if the operation that have has accident a bit, can appear " the head dies " , namely the machine has change directly bricky probability. Because this is below the support that old model does not have Project Treble, the channel that Gu Ge wants quick disposition new system also not answer exist.
Project Treble and character 8 of tripartite ROM should not
In fact, project Treble besides operating the level actually, besides the difficult problem that faces technology and user experience to go up, these firms that use oneself ROM generally also are not willing to appear the condition that imitates an object to be in constant change. Why so say? Believe you are affirmative to " the MIUI 10 that is based on Android P " , " the EMUI 8.0 that is based on Android O " , but had not heard of absolutely " the MIUI 10 that is based on MIUI 9 " , because the manufacturer is in,this is iteration oneself ROM when, place is the primary unripe system that Gu Ge rolls out normally to mark.
The meaning of Project Treble, it is one a complete set of accord with Android to develop a standard, but can update the dynamic frame that adds new character ceaselessly as every generation system. But this one " dynamic " can be about manufacturer people old order, original case is Mr. Gu Ge painted a picture, the little younger brother below in succession copy adds bit of detail again, the ROM of oneself gives heat. Now if Gu Ge became.gif from.jpeg, what its make a bit change can produce the result of the domino possibly, bring about the workload twice promotion of mobile phone manufacturer finally.
Say so, if do not use a site,Gu Ge has seen actually dish outside action, project Treble will become Android distinguishing feature " on have there is the way to deal with a situation below policy " victim. The solution that accordingly its give out -- it is all mobile phones that install Android P system beforehand, must support Project Treble frame; All OEM manufacturer must be inside at least 2 years of time, replace a system regularly for popular product; Introduce more OEM manufacturers to participate in the inchoate test of new Android system, let everybody carry early familiar new system.
And need as to in the final analysis how long, ability solves the fragment of Android to turn an issue, showing level to be able to say time only just is best weapon, need waits to use Android 4.4, 5, the old model of 6 arrives at terminus, all congenital the model that does not fit Project Treble exits the market. Have only probably such, newer rate ability is having the system of prospective Android mobile phone quite further promotion.
