) sagen dass mir die Updatepolitik von Samsung ziemlich auf den Senkel geht.Da Samsung den compiled source code (aka blobs) für z.B Hardware Beschleunigung, Kamera, Bluetooth, etc raus gibt, werden genau diese Funktionen eingeschränkt sein. Da wir diese selber ohne Dokumentation entwickeln müssen. Nahezu unmöglich, allerdings gibt's einige die durchaus sehenswerte Ergebnisse geschaffen haben.
Ich denke Samsung wird da nicht einlenken, die haben es nicht nötig.
Alle anderen werden diese weiterhin freigeben, denke ich mal.
To all the people complaining about how OEMs haven't announced 4.3 updates for the devices:
* • OEMs do not get the Android source code directly from Google.
* •*The SoC vendors are provided the code from Google, where they make a board support package (BSP) which contains drivers and optimisations etc.
* •*The BSPs are then passed on to the OEMs, which they use to develop updates for their devices.
OEMs are currently waiting for the silicon vendors to decide which SoCs they will support in making a 4.3 BSP for, because their update support is heavily dependent on this.
For example, Qualcomm recently decided to drop development for a 4.2.2 BSP on their S3 SoCs, which is why HTC had turn around and say they were dropping support for the One S. This also caused Sony to drop update development for the*Xperia S, SL, Acro S and ION (all S3 SoCs).
Everyone remembers the Thunderbolt and Sensation (LTE variants) which used the Scorpion*MSM8655, which Qualcomm dropped support for, so OEMs had to drop future updates for.
Samsung is an exception, they're their own devices' silicon vendors when it comes to Exynos. But they also had to drop support for their S2 LTE variants which were using the Qualcomm Scorpion SoC.
Sure, it's not the perfect system, but it's how it works in the industry right now.
