I mean take a quick look on iOS 6 and iOS 5. Both look very similar in terms of visualisations on the UI and the buttons on the newer devices are the same in number and in operation with older ones. They might have added a few extra operations on some buttons but it is not like they changed something dramatically.

They same thing with Windows Phone 7. The UI is the same and if you take a look to the buttons on the older and newer devices you will find out that they are pretty much the same. On the other hand,Google does some heavy changes from an update to another.

They hardly look the same in terms of UI. Consider this,when it comes to build a device which is planned to run Froyo and you intend to update it to Jelly Bean. Basically this happens because manufacturers lack of warning for what it is going to follow to the Android updates. This was mentioned by Sony and Google responded by stating that is going to help manufacturers with PDK PDK stands for Platform Developers Kit which it will give the manufacturers a limited sneak peak to the framework of the upcoming Android versions.

Limited because it will give early access only to some parts of the Android's upcoming versions framework. But your understanding of vanilla in the question seems flawed. Technically Motorola and any other non-Nexus! The reason they don't update much is just to save money. Google develops android so their "vanilla" has almost no upgrade cost. For vanilla derivatives used by other hardware from Sony phones to chinese tablets it requires re-modding the newest vanilla--this is non-trivial in the case of major version changes.

Even in the trivial cases updating may not be worth the cost if it means supporting old phones. So your non-vanilla phone lags behind because the OEM doesn't bother to "copy-paste" their drivers and tweaks to the latest vanilla or gives it a low priority. Google is just more diligent in copy-pasting drivers due to being very familiar with the OS , but even older Nexus phones eventually get left behind. Sign up to join this community.

So let me see if I got this right. Basically you are telling that Android OS is not Cross-Platform in terms of diversity of each device? Well the official Android is only programmed for the Nexus Devices, it's lacking drivers for other phones.

The OS needs to be small It's up to developers to add these to make it work on their phones. So basically yes. October 29, AM. Your email address will not be published.
