I'm still on Android 10. Tried 11, didn't like it and rooted back to 10.
9961434Viv, 1 hour agoGo work for Android and make it happen :)This is NOT a technical problem, this is a policy problem.
Google bought themselves into the Open-Handset-Alliance, reverse engineered Java, built it upon a Linux kernel, and slapped their own services to create the AndroidOS. It was a big task for it's time, and they went the route of AOSP.
This ensured maximal adoption in minimal time and it worked! Their new OS was riding the high-wave coattails of The iPhone. Whereas Symbian and Blackberry were seen as dated implementations, and Microsoft's old Windows Mobile was too clunky.
However, Android did have huge issues, and still does. This comes in the form of: Forks, Fragmentation, Security, Privacy, Monetary, Performance, and Battery Life. Whilst iOS had its own issues, but the above weren't a large problem in their market. And the route that Google has taken is one to gradually increase the OS's Security, Performance, and Battery Life. They've also, very gradually, made updates easier for OEMs to decrease Fragmentation but it's still a problem in the future as the Financial Incentive is built on disposable phones.
As I understand it, Android Platform had two very MAJOR leaps. The first came with Android 4 (4.0.3 bugfix) which did away with all the clunky mess it became during the 1.0-2.0-3.0 days, huge under-the-hood changes, and unified UX. The other time is during the Android 5 (5.1 bugfix) when they made a transition from 32bit to 64bit, with further under-the-hood changes, and a new UI. These would have been a great times to use these Milestones to force some policy changes:
1- To inact a system where all phones had to have the same OS so platform updates can be pushed without hindrance by Google or OEM, with the stipulation that all OEMs can make their own Skin which had to be Officially Compatible, and would be able to be disabled and changed by the User. Obviously this never happened, and likely never will.
2- To break Forks, stopping other lazy/nefarious companies from profiting off Google's hard work. Had this happened in-hindsight, China's economy would have been visibly impacted. It would have meant traditional OEMs were not disadvantaged and marginalized out of the market. We would have more phones, and more competition. It's too late now, since Android has been Forked a hundred times, from your backyard enthusiast building their own open-source Linux Distro, to Amazon's FireOS that deserves all it's criticisms, to the likes of Redmi/Xiaomi, HongmengOS, and the many other China-Only sold devices. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
rant:
The second point has become an issue for Google and USA in recent times. The change proposed could have worked, and if it did there really wouldn't be any Chinese Android Phones anymore. That would force the Chinese Populous (huge market) to buy Japanese, European, or American based Android Phones. Since their government wouldn't concede this bargaining chip in-order to change their national policy to allow foreign companies to function, and have competition (many many are banned in China, like Google and many other foreign companies)(and Intellectual Property Rights are a clown circus there). Otherwise they would need to build their own OS from scratch, which doesn't seem very likely given their circumstances, more likely, they could've thrown money at the problem and Privatised an Open-Source Project like that of Jolla SailfishOS Platform. Yet, they would have the problems of the App-Gap and would struggle to bring in foreign developers, so many services would use Web Services instead and others wouldn't make the leap (eg Games like Angry Birds).
