Tucao HarmonyOS system is a "shell-changing" Android! Do you really know what open source is?

As early as 20 12, Huawei began to plan its own operating system-HarmonyOS OS. It didn't seem necessary at that time, but now, we have to admire the foresight of Huawei's top management. Due to a series of "blocking measures", Huawei had to give up using its key hardware and system software. Speaking of system software, the inability to use Google's GMS service can be said to have a great impact on Huawei's overseas market.

At this time, there is an urgent need for a domestic operating system with independent intellectual property rights. Therefore, Huawei has also increased its investment in this area, and started planning as early as 12, so that Huawei's HarmonyOS system OS was released and listed in 19 (not to brag, Huawei is admirable as an enterprise). HarmonyOS OS didn't start testing until the end of 19, and it is expected to cover 300 million devices this year. However, once launched, it was questioned by the market. Is HarmonyOS OS a "shell-changing" Android?

In fact, such doubts are understandable. At that time, after the open source of HarmonyOS system, many professionals consulted the source code of HarmonyOS system OS. Later, it was found that many codes of this operating system are similar to Android, but does this mean that HarmonyOS OS (Huawei) copied Android (Google)?

For such constant doubts, Huawei also gave an official response. As the president of Huawei consumer BG software department, Wang Yizhi is committed to the development and management of Huawei software layer. Recently, he responded: "HarmonyOS system is not Android in the new shell, and the spitter just doesn't know what open source is." As early as before, Wang also said that he was not born to replace Android, but to surpass it.

According to it, most of the code of Android comes from the open source community, and the code adopted by HarmonyOS system also comes from the open source community, so it seems inappropriate to call it "copying and changing shells". Not only that, even most of the code of Android system is not independently developed by Google, but also comes from the open source community, and Huawei is also a big contributor to the open source community. Therefore, in this open source community, there is no plagiarism. Open source means openness. In the world of free software, there is no concept of piracy at all.

The full name of "AOSP" is "Android open source project", which translates into Android open source project. HarmonyOS's operating system is based on AOSP, which is closely related to Android in essence. This is also one of the best ways to make the operating system of HarmonyOS system available quickly. Even so, HarmonyOS will gradually "break away" from Android in the future. It is reported that Huawei will make a big move in the second half of this year, that is, launch HarmonyOS OS3.0 open source code, which will largely erase Google code from the AOSP open source community.

In this way, the truly perfect and mature HarmonyOS operating system is completely separated from Android. Not only that, Wang's statement that OS should surpass Android is not groundless. Compared with Android, Huawei Ark Compiler makes the program run without recompiling process, which greatly improves the actual running efficiency and performance.

Moreover, HarmonyOS OS has been deeply optimized in terms of power consumption and fluency. However, the HarmonyOS OS does not support the root privilege on the terminal devices, which also improves the overall security of the microkernel and devices. HarmonyOS OS has greatly improved compared with Android in all aspects, so there is reason to believe that in the future, the ultimate version of HarmonyOS OS will really become an "upgraded version" of Android and an operating system on a par with it!

The breakthrough of Huawei's HarmonyOS OS will also be a magnificent chapter in Huawei's history, which will undoubtedly improve the overall level of China's operating system. Naturally, it is precisely because these high-tech enterprises have broken the ban again and again that the overall level of science and technology in China has been upgraded. However, compared with yourself, the difficulty can be imagined.
