La frammentazione degli O.S. Android: Marshmallow avanza, Jelly Bean resiste




Android 7.0 Nougat è l'ultimo arrivato di casa Google, un sistema operativo che contribuisce a migliorare ulteriormente l'esperienza di utilizzo dell'OS di casa Mountain View. Peccato che sia ancora disponibile per pochi eletti.

Un problema sicuramente relativo, ma che è sempre presente, nonostante passino gli anni. La frammentazione di Android si fa sempre più grande, e anche con la nuova release il problema sussiste. Questo è sempre stato una punto a sfavore in confronto ad iOS di Apple, che invece riesce sempre ad aggiornare i propri dispositivi con una tempestività incredibile, ma con una grande differenza che forse non tutti riconoscono: iOS è un sistema chiuso ed è disponibile solo sui dispositivi Apple, mentre Android è un sistema open source, installato su innumerevoli dispositivi, che per funzionare bene hanno il bisogno di essere ottimizzati.

Tabella riguardante la diffusione di Android in tutte le sue versioni. (aggiornato al 4 settembre 2016)

E forse è proprio questo il grande problema che attanaglia il robottino verde: il sistema di aggiornamento è decentralizzato e sono gli stessi produttori che devono occuparsi di implementare il nuovo OS all'interno dei propri dispositivi, lasciandoli spesso al loro destino dopo poco tempo (in genere il supporto agli aggiornamenti per gli smartphone è di 18 mesi dalla data di uscita).


Infatti dalla tabella si evince che la versione Jelly Bean (che comprende le release dalla 4.1 alla 4.3) rappresenta ancora oggi una quota significativa nella torta e si ferma al 15,6% sul totale, non poco se correlato al risultato di Marshmallow, penultimo arrivato in casa Android, che invece si ferma al 18,7%.

Lollipop invece si dimostra la versione più diffusa, con una percentuale che occupa più di un terzo del totale, ovvero il 35%(includendo le due release 5.0 e 5.1).

E la nuova versione Nougat invece?

Essendo uscita da poco tempo, essa è disponibile solo per i dispositivi Google, ma siamo sicuri che nel corso dei mesi i dispositivi che monteranno la nuova versione di Android aumenteranno gradualmente.

DISTRIBUZIONE ANDROID: ancora niente Nougat a Settembre


Come ogni mese, anche a Settembre, sono stati pubblicati i dati relativi alla distribuzione di Android, che purtroppo, enfatizza la scarsa velocità negli aggiornamenti dei produttori che sfruttano il robottino verde come O.S. (Sistema operativo).


In particolare, evidenzia l'assenza totale (prevedibile) di Android 7.0 Nougat, uscito solamente un paio di settimane fa, e disponibile solamente sui nexus e su Android One.

Altro dato deludente, è quello relativo a Marshmallow, che sì è cresciuto del 3,5%, arrivando al 18,7%, ma è comunque troppo poco, data l'uscita del suo successore Nougat.



In più, è la terza release per distribuzione, avendo sorpassato da poco Jelly Bean (15,6%) dopo Lollipop e Kitkat che con i loro 35% e 27,7%, racchiudono più della metà degli smartphone presenti.

Curiosa la presenza di ICS, Gingerbread e Froyo, che resistono ancora dopo anni e anni dall'uscita.

Attendiamo ottobre per avere le prime tracce di Android 7.0 Nougat.

【所感】Lollipop Xperia、遅い


正確には「遅い」というと語弊があり、「起動時に引っかかる」感じです。設定画面だけでなく様々なアプリを立ち上げた時、または画面を切換えた時など、いちいちカクッとする感じ。
スクロールは非常に滑らかでKK以上だと実感していますが、画面が切り替わった直後に長めのタイムラグが発生しています。

やっぱり既存のXperiaのUIに無理矢理AOSPのLollipopを上書きしてるのがマズいんじゃないでしょうか。ARTの不具合も考えましたが、本当にスクロールや各種アニメーションは超がつくほど滑らかです。プログレス(読み込み中)表示も引っかかりはありませんし、メモリリークも見た感じ発生していないように思われます(RAMの空き容量比率がKK時とたいして変わらない)。

ただ、読み込みにかかる時間は伸びている気もします。
このへんはROM焼きに関係してるのかななんて思ってもいますが…。

海外では結構話題となっているようですが、国内ではどうなんでしょうか。

ちなみにアップデートに絡んでよく聞く症状の1つ「電池残量表示がおかしい」は、Battery Statsをリセットすれば改善することが多いです。
rootだとアプリ使って一発なんですが非rootだとどうやったっけ…。
ただこの症状、バッテリーに異常はなくあくまでも表示上の不具合である可能性が高いはずです。Tomも過去に何度かなりましたが、Battery Statsのリセットで即改善し、再発しません。

そんな感じ。

【マジかよ】Lollipop Xperia、設定画面が2カラムだった


おはようございます。暑いですネ。
寝る前にサーモスの真空タンブラーに3つ入れた氷がまだ残ってるおかげで生きてます。

ところで、ふと端末を見たら画面がこんなでした。

LollipopでTitanium BackupにSDカードアクセス権限を与える方法


先日ロリポにアプデしたZ3Cですが、次の現象が発生しています。

  • Titanium Backupでアプリのバックアップに失敗する
  • SolidExplorerでSDカードにあるファイルを移動できない

これだけなら結構単純なんですが、もうちょっと複雑な症状が続きます。

【Xperia】Lollipop Z3 Compact ロリポ版の初期設定からXposed Framework導入まで

Xperia Z3 Compact SO-02G Lollipop ROM flashing【root維持】 | トムとロイドXperia Z3 Compact SO-02G Lollipop ROM flashing【root維持】 | トムとロイド


昨日やっと適用できたLollipop版Xperia。
予想通りかなり雑なUIの融合なども見受けられましたが、とりあえず動作は快適です。

一応こちらで確認した現象をまとめておくと、

  • 初回起動時、Google Play開発者サービスのアップデートが必要と言われるもPlayストアに行くと最新だった(恐らく勝手にアプデされる)
  • 上記の関係か、初回起動後しばらくの間「Google+」が使えなかった(起動できず、できても受信できず)
  • いくつかのコア・アプリと思われるプロセスが強制終了した(再起動&カスタムリカバリ導入で解決)
  • XZDualRecoveryが焼けなかった(バッチファイル「1番」を選択するも進まず、busybox導入で解決)

このくらいだったかな。

本日ドコモより、Xperia Z3とZ3 CompactのLollipopバージョンが配信されました。

製品アップデート情報 | お客様サポート | NTTドコモ製品アップデート情報 | お客様サポート | NTTドコモ

Lollipopには多くのメリットがあり……と言いたいところですが、正直マテリアルデザインが嫌いなTomとしてはKitKatに致命的なデメリットがあるほうが深刻なので、さっそく適用することにしました。

KitKatの抱える致命的なデメリットとは:

  • サードパーティによるSDカードの利用不可

これに尽きますよね。
