Huawei Harmonoos: There was supposed to be a micro -dung, there is maxi fikołek

Because what else to call the fact that even the manufacturer himself is not able to clearly define what the new system is.

Believe me or not, but I'm definitely not Huawei's hajter.On the contrary - I am extremely impressed with the dexterity with which the Chinese manufacturer moves around the global market, attacking subsequent product sectors despite the explicit US lobby.The problem is that from the maniac point, who is stubbornly following the subsequent reports from Shenzhen, I hereby feel like a reel.Seriously.

Huawei promised a micronyjdro in Hondgmen

Let's go back to August 2019, when during a conference for developers, freshly pressed with infamous trading blockade, Huawei first presented the Harmonoos system.Let's add, then still known in the media mainly under the code name Hondgkeng, although the manufacturer himself deciphered this code.

At that time, harmonos was presented as a system based on the so -calledmicronutrient.Without entering details, it is a kind of OS, which by default contains only canonical functions such as low-level address space management or planner module (dispatcher).In this type of puzzle, all other components, including drivers, file system, and even interprocess communication mechanisms, are already in the user layer.In a word, they can be modified and replaced regardless of the system itself, and this is a very tempting vision.

The monolithic Linux nucleus, which is the base of Android, contains tens of millions of code lines.Often literally unnecessary, if we consider, for example, drivers for exotic printers and the fact that they can be found in haberdashery or thermomix - and these are only the first examples from the shore.Meanwhile, the micro-vessels are up to four-troughs of rows smaller, while their flexibility allows you to put only what is needed in the device's memory.

There was no end, but the enthusiastic representatives of Huawei, with President Richard Yu, shouted in presenting the next advantages of harmonos.Pushing the corporate courtesy, Android - and iOS - Yu himself directly described as an overloaded code, while the author's deterministic dispatcher was supposed to spread Linux's serial planning in terms of resource effectiveness.Oh, it was really spectacular.

Phantasmagoria?No - on Huawei social profiles you can still find archival entries from that period, stuffed with effective animations and buzzing slides.Not only that, the repository at the Githuba containing sources and extended documentation is still active, which is a lively proof that the described project exists.In some form.

Harmonyos has a surprise: the process of Android Q

After Wednesday's conference and noisy presentation of Harmony 2.0, an inevitable question arises, what form it is about.I admit that I was stupid.I do not know and probably Huawei himself does not quite know, unfortunately abandoning revolutionizing the market of mobile operating systems for marketing powder.

To the point.Passes less than two years;It is June 2021 and the starting blocks are just leaving Harmony 2.0.Only, contrary to the suggestive name, he has as much in common with the alleged predecessor as the flat -tracks with scientific knowledge.

As you already know, Harmony 2.0 is simply another variation on Android 10, in addition to the features of the work performed on the knee.It turns out that the Easter Egga Progoplasty process remained in the system.Admittedly, Huawei is obscured by the use of excess resources, but this does not change the heart of the matter: the new harmony has nothing to do with the originally presented, revolutionary assumptions.Quoting President Richard Yu, he is overloaded with the code and archaic, but let's leave a bitterness.

See: Huawei Harmonyos was to defeat Android, and he is Android himself

Force android hard to stigmatize, after all, the lion's part of the industry does more or less.At this point, it is enough to cite the example of Amazon Fire OS, not to mention dozens of UI overlays, of which a significant part of which the obvious features of back-end modifications also bears.However, Fikołek is significant, which Huaweia's authorities made.

The Harmonoos Mikkernel repository has only been lying and covered with dust since the release.The topic of his commercial use died down with a handful of TVs from the Vision TV inaccessible on the Old Continent.What finally goes to users of over 100 devices, as praised, is de facto another incarnation of the popular robot.Very aesthetic, because Detenal Linux reminiscent of phenomenal in this matter, and apparently also optimized like never before ... But they are still old schemes.At most in a more interesting anturaż.

I understand the narrative that the company with Shenzhen unified the names, so that, as some commentators say, emphasize the common ecosystem.This makes sense, because it is possible that simpler devices - like Smart Watches - after all, will receive a microcircle, i.e. a real harmonoos.Anyway, this is indicated by one of Huawei's statements, who now maintains that Linux will only go to "devices with more memory".After all, looking from a technical point of view, at best he came out of this chaos, in a worse-juicy cheek for those who believed in a revolution on the already fossilized market of mobile OS.

A horse with a row to those who find himself in this confusion, because we remember that - next to the projects from the Harmony series - Huawei is also developing Liteos;A microkering system for internet devices of the Things.Paradoxically, the latter is for the original harmonyos closer than the new version 2.0, which, using the existing nomenclature, could be another EMUI.In addition, the first generation harmonos itself was incorporated into the open -source OpenHarmony project, and this - to make it more fun - goes on two paths.Only one of them comes out from scratch, the other is a cut Android.I do not envy people from PR who will have to explain these complexities to the statistical consumer.
