i wonder if someday we can plug flashdrive to Android, and install any OS we want. home edition, pro edition, android 6,7,8, etc. Like Windows.
btw, Android should be made lighter, i mean the bloatwares. Not everybody uses that. Android should give us a choice to really delete system apps, not just disabling them. Like Gmail, i never used that, i use AquaMail or MailDroid since i also have outlook and yahoo and I need push mail for those as well.
Drive, notes, task, play games, play music, i never used them.
does it works with Vivo Y53? or Huawei Y5II
Anonymous, 06 Dec 2017So which one is lighter, Android One or Android Go Edition?Learn to read
Anonymous, 06 Dec 2017So which one is lighter, Android One or Android Go Edition?Android One is just a slightly customized version of "pure" Android for low end phones. It is hardly any lighter than any other lightly skinned Android UI such as the one used by Nokia (HMD). The main point of Android One was to provide phones with timely updates and standard Google Android experience for developing markets. Traditionally low end Android phones get virtually no updates at all.
So which one is lighter, Android One or Android Go Edition?
Anonymous, 05 Dec 2017So....basically iOS?LMFAO!!!!
Good joke. That buggy mess of an os LOL
This s amazing news. For low end phones and for rom developers.
Looks like the Nokia 6, Nokia 5, Nokia 3 and Nokia 2 will have an easy life... HURRAY!!! Let's have some fun and relax.
In Anandtech it was mentioned that this is usefull when you have 8gb storage so very low end indeed is the target.
Anonymous, 05 Dec 2017Basically this create a new android category aka lite android. But Google need to define low e... moreA phone with 16GB ROM and 2GB RAM can run Android Oreo flawless if it's stock Android and has a decent SOC...for them low end is 1GB of RAM or lower
Nadalion, 05 Dec 2017Will there be a way to flash this ROM on older 1gb Ram phones?Yes, future custom ROMs based on Android Oreo Go edition
This is a good move, developing countries and people in poor regions need cheap and usable phones, congratulations, Google !
as i recalled correctly a few year back, google release kitkat(4.4) that intended to run on low end system in mind .. so this new Oreo Go is basically the same idea with new updated material design UI ?
i can only imagine how fast the oneplus 5T will be with this ROM...
Finally Nokia 2 makes some sense.
