Android Version Names: Every Os From Cupcake to Android P

Android and Dessert Names 

Google's Android division absolutely has a comical inclination: It named the majority of its variant codenames after pastries (similarly as Intel names the majority of its CPUs after waterways). To praise another rendition, a monster ridicule up of the sweet that matches the codename is normally conveyed to the Google Campus and put in plain view.

So what are the distinctive renditions of Android OS and the sweets related with them? Release us over a short history.

Android 1.0 and 1.1: Unnamed, and "Petit Four"? 

There seems, by all accounts, to be no codename doled out to variants 1.0 Android OS.

Google purchased an organization got back to Android in July 2005. Android was going by a few versatile top dogs, including the previous leader of a major bearer, ex-proprietor of a telephone creator, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. After their buyout, Android went into stealth mode, and bits of gossip spread that Google was taking a shot at a cell phone.

The dam at last broke in November 2007, when Google all of a sudden declared that they were in fact dealing with a telephone (Google Phone). More than that, they were additionally chipping away at a fresh out of the plastic new versatile working framework called Android, in light of the Linux piece, to be utilized by the Open Handset Alliance, a gathering of 65 distinctive equipment creators, bearers, and other portable related organizations.

HTC was the principal telephone creator to get a genuine buyer telephone out, the T-Mobile G1 (otherwise called the HTC Dream outside of US), on October 2008.

A refresh of Android, variant 1.1, was discharged in February 2009. As per Android Police, this adaptation was authoritatively named "Petit Four", however since it was once in a while observed, the name was additionally once in a while said.

The principal critical adaptation of Android OS that truly displayed the intensity of the stage was V1.5, codenamed "Cupcake." As Cupcake begins with letter "C", many have suspected that 1.0 had a codename beginning with "An" and 1.1 made them begin with "B," however no real codenames were ever allocated. Somebody expected that a before specify of "Astro" and "Drinking spree" by Android designs in early talks alluded to these two variants, however they denied so in the Android Police article connected previously.

Android 1.5: Cupcake 

In fact Android 1.5 wasn't the primary form, yet forms before it don't appear to have gotten any codenames. Stories were informed that it gathered be adaptation 1.2, yet Google chose to make it a noteworthy amendment and made it 1.5. Among the numerous progressions with Cupcake, outsider console and Widgets were empowered and telephone could transfer specifically to YouTube and Picasa. The organization codenamed the variant "cupcake," which is the way the pattern of treat names started.

A cupcake is a little, separately estimated cake prepared in a glass formed shape. It is typically presented with icing to finish everything.

Android 1.6: Donut 

Android V1.6, codenamed "Doughnut," was discharged in September 2009. It settled reboot blunders in the OS, redid photograph and video highlights (i.e. camera interface), and highlighted better inquiry combination. It likewise included help for bigger screen sizes and is the principal rendition to offer Google's turn-by-turn route highlight.

A doughnut is a little ring-formed friedcake. The ring is made of rich, light mixture and southern style. Different sweet coatings can be included. Doughnuts are not to be confused for bagels, which are heated, substantially denser, and typically salty.

Android 2.0 and 2.1: Eclair 

Android 2.0 was discharged in October 2009, with a bugfix variant (2.0.1) turning out in December 2009. Android 2.1 was discharged January of 2010. A great many people think of them as a solitary discharge. Included highlights incorporate Bluetooth 2.1 help, streak and computerized zoom for the camera, multi-contact bolster, live backdrops, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.

Eclairs are typically portrayed as oval cream puffs. They are prepared baked goods with cream filling and chocolate covering to finish everything.

Android 2.2: Froyo 

Android 2.2 basically enhanced speed by receiving the Javascript "without a moment to spare" compiler motor from Google's program, Chrome. It likewise enhanced program bolster by including energized GIF support and Flash 10.1 module bolster, alongside USB tying and Wi-Fi Hotspot ability (for those with supporting equipment).

Froyo is another way to say "solidified yogurt." It is a solidified treat produced using yogurt, so it is somewhat more acrid than delicate serve, yet in addition bring down in fat.

Android 2.3, 2.4: Gingerbread 

Gingerbread was authoritatively discharged in December 2010.

On December sixth, 2010, Google authoritatively reported the primary telephone with Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread. The telephone was the Nexus S, which Google co-created with Samsung. The telephone was initially accessible for T-Mobile, however was later made for Sprint and AT&T also.

Gingerbread bolsters SIP web calling, NFC remote exchange ability (if equipment is available), in excess of one camera, and gyrators and different sensors (indicators, gravimeters, and others are conceivable). It likewise includes a download supervisor, a few changes to permit utilization on Tablets, and other framework level changes for software engineers.

As a sweet, gingerbread is essentially a ginger-seasoned treat. Usually made to praise end-of-year occasions in the US. The treats are cut into merry shapes—regularly the state of a man—and improved with icing and sweet.

Android 2.4: Still Gingerbread 

TechCrunch recently uncovered that there will be "Dessert Sandwich" after Honeycomb.

A variant of Android 2.4 was found on Sony Ericssen Xperia Arc at CES 2011. The telephone creator asserts wrong form, however later Google source affirmed that "Frozen yogurt" will be declared at Google I/O occasion in May 2011 and discharged June or July 2011.

Yet, pause, Pocket Lint cites Viewsonic (an Android tablet producer, in addition to other things) that 2.4 will hold the "Gingerbread" moniker, and "Frozen yogurt" (or "Dessert Sandwich") will be 3.1!

All things considered, 2.4 being Ice Cream doesn't bode well, as it abuses the current request, as the sweet names are in sequential order request, and I is after H, not previously. It makes sense to make it after Honeycomb (3.0)

Android 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2: Honeycomb

Honeycomb was discharged in February 2011, and was quickly trailed by 3.1 and 3.2 in July and August of 2011. Google posted a ton of sneak peaks and features on Honeycomb.

Honeycomb was made for tablets, which inferred that Android OS 2.X was most certainly not. That did not stop Samsung and a huge number of littler makers from putting out a multitude of Android 2.X tablets of different sizes previously the finish of 2010 as they attempted to ride the flood of the iPad's accomplishment in time for the Christmas shopping season.

Motorola Xoom was the main Android 3.X tablet to be discharged. It has since been trailed by numerous others.

Sweet astute, honeycomb is a sheet of hexagonal cells honey bees work out of wax and load up with nectar. Crisp honeycomb can be devoured as a pastry—a few people bite or even expend the wax with the nectar.

Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich 

Frozen yogurt Sandwich was Google's endeavor to combine Honeycomb, it's tablet-just stage, with its versatile stage. Discharged in October 2011, it included another outline and default text style, and in addition the capacity to screen and farthest point versatile information use and different updates. Numerous gadgets were ease back to embrace Ice Cream Sandwich. Three months after Ice Cream Sandwich, just a single telephone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) had been discharged to run it.

All things considered, a frozen yogurt sandwich is a layer of dessert, typically vanilla, sandwiched between two treats, normally chocolate. They are frequently rectangular fit as a fiddle.

Android 4.1: Jelly Bean 

Jam Bean turned out in 2012. Greatest changes included "Google Now," an AI right hand that foresees your necessities and better, more intuitive notices. Jam Bean likewise permits "voice composing," an inherent discourse to-content motor that does not depend on Internet or information.

Android 4.4: KitKat 

Google declared that Android 4.4 would be named KitKat on September 3, 2013. KitKat's parent organization, Nestlé, was completely energetic about the naming of working framework and propelled a promoting effort amid KitKat's discharge. As a major aspect of the crusade, extraordinarily checked bundles of Kitkat with Andy the Green Android on the bundle each contained a sweepstakes code that could win another Nexus 7 Android tablet or Google Play store credit.

KitKat took the Google Now include and made it a stride advance with "alright Google." Ok Google enables individuals to get to Google Now without contacting their telephones—just verbally saying the expression opens up the man-made brainpower collaborator. KitKat additionally acquainted Emoji with Google's console.

Android 5.X: Lollipop 

Android 5 is called Lollipop, and it included a fresh out of the plastic new runtime considered ART that never again depends on the more seasoned DALVIK runtime (which is fairly in view of Sun/Oracle specs). Candy additionally contains other UI changes and has a magnificent battery life on a few gadgets.

Android 6.X: Marshmallow 

Android 6: Marshmallow is as of now out for the Nexus gadgets and is accepted to come before long to all leader gadgets before year's end, and to different gadgets by mid 2016.

Marshmallow presented a few changes that can have huge effect. Application consent display is presently select in (give particular authorization as asked for) instead of quit (all is allowed, at that point utilize App Ops to keep running off individual authorizations). Snooze mode enables the gadget to go into hibernation when sit without moving, slicing power utilization to for all intents and purposes nil. Unique mark sensor bolster is currently prepared into the OS rather the seller support, and USB C is presently completely upheld. At last, Marshmallow enables one to arrange a microSD card and receive it as though it's inside capacity and offer the same interior security level.

Android 7: Nougat (2016) 

Android 7 was authoritatively initiated Nougat on June 30, 2016, when the most recent garden status was uncovered in the midst of exhibit (see photograph). It is furnished with another Just-In-Time compiler in view of the ART motor, Unicode 9.0 Emoji bolster, and the new Vulkan 3D rendering API. Patches for 7.1, 7.1.1, and 7.1.2 followed in 2017.

Android 8: Oreo (2017) 

Android 8, named Oreo after the celebrated treat, was discharged in Q3 of 2017. Its significant change was "Task Treble", where it made the OS more measured so OS updates can be discharged quicker by the makers. Emoticon bolster was refreshed to Unicode 10, with enhanced warnings structure various show bolster, and different highlights. It was immediately trailed by 8.1 in December 2017 with an "Oreo Go Edition" for low-end gadgets and also enhanced API for a few inward capacities.

Android 9: P (2018?) 

Nothing is thought about the last name for Android 9.0 other than it will start with letter P. A review of such was made accessible by Google in June 2018

Where Is the Latest Operating System for My Phone? 

The issue with Android OS is each telephone producer or potentially transporter can redo the telephone, and those changes mean every bearer/creator should retest the OS totally before it very well may be discharged. The procedure frequently takes a while, and ExtremeTech completes an incredible activity of clarifying why.

And still, after all that, it isn't ensured that your gadget can be refreshed to the most recent variant of Android OS. Gadgets that accompanied V1.5 (Cupcake) or V1.6 (Donut) can be moved up to V2.1 or V2.2, yet won't completely bolster every one of the highlights of the OS because of equipment constraints. A few cases:

A portion of the most punctual HTC Android telephones, for example, Legend, Desire, and Hero, don't bolster live backdrops notwithstanding when moved up to Eclair (2.1) or later.

The first Google telephone, the T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream) just authoritatively got the V1.5 or V1.6 refreshes. Some have grown later Android OS ROMs for the telephone, yet they require the telephone to be attached to utilize.

Motorola Droid, notwithstanding when moved up to Froyo (2.2), does not bolster portable hotspot.

All in all, you should sit tight for the bearer to discharge the OTA (over-the-air) updates or sit tight for a ROM engineer, for example, Cyanogen, to get a ROM form working for your telephone.

The manner in which the procedure works is Google needs to discharge the SDK and ROM for the most recent OS. At that point every bearer and telephone producer will go off and test it on their telephones, include any nearby changes, and in the end discharge it over the air and push it to your telephone. The procedure takes a while.

Android OS itself don't have any hard prerequisites, however there are some functional ones. I would expect a gadget with 512 MB of RAM and 1 GHz CPU to run Gingerbread, yet anything less might be risky. For Lollipop and Marshmallow you'd expect something like a quadcore with 2 GB of RAM, if not the most recent octo-center with 3 or 4GB of RAM. The suggested gadget specs will just run up with future Android working frameworks.

What Is AOSP ROM versus Manufacturing plant ROM? 

AOSP, or Android Open Source Project, is the wellspring of all genuine Android code that is open source. While Google did create is as yet creating Android, it intermittently discharges bug fixes and new forms to AOSP to proceed with its improvement. In any case, AOSP variants of ROM are an extremely non specific ROM and should be modified for various equipment usage. You can't simply download AOSP stuff into your gadget and anticipate that it will run.

In this way, numerous ROM engineers take AOSP code, modify it to their motivations, practice it for one stage/gadget, and voilà, AOSP-based ROM. Not all highlights might be bolstered by AOSP ROM as some equipment does not have open source bolster.

A production line ROM, then again, depends on the first firmware from the maker. It is fundamentally a changed form of the first ROM, most likely with bloatware stripped out and tuned for greatest execution. This is just conceivable if the maker has really discharged such a ROM.

For instance, to get Jelly Bean on a more established telephone, for example, Motorola Droid Bionic (otherwise known as Targa), one can take the authority Motorola 4.1 Jelly Bean refresh, at that point stack one of the changed ROMs in light of it. Or then again one can just Cyanogen Mod 10.1, which depends on AOSP. CM10.1 doesn't have nav dock or lap dock bolster, as those are restrictive to Motorola with no open source bolster, yet it has assortment of different highlights not accessible on the plant or changed ROMs.
