Android

• Android Open Source Project (AOSP)

• Designed for small screens, limited storage

and battery life

• Comprehensive system, easily modified

• Android Software Development Kit (SDK)

• Multiple versions – “vanilla” Android, but

can also have add-ons, remix, etc.

Biggest Downsides

• Over-the-air (OTA) updates are

only available for a limited time• OEM’s are slow to upgrade

• End-of-life schedule is not well understood

(When will your phone’s Android OS

no longer be supported?)

• Often, there is no path to a new release

of the Android OS

(So, what then? – There is a solution!)

Am I losing my mind

Android File Structure

• My 8 GB MotoG3 can only account

for about 4.5 GB of “internal storage”

• Where are the other GB’s and

what are they used for?

• Many of Android’s

folders are “empty”

• Much of the file

system is hidden

• A mystery!

Android File Structure

• Actually a Linux file system• The main storage is labelled

while the Micro SDcard is labelled

• Each drive has multiple folders…

Android Annoyances

Android apps don’t always work

“as advertised” – and certainly not

always as desired!

Page 68: Managing Your Android Phone - OPCUGGoogle’s Play Store (and some third parties –including OPCUG!) K-9 Mail Multiple accounts and folders K-9 Mail Multiple accounts and folders

Where are apps stored?

• Many apps are stored in the phone’s

main memory

• But, this can be a problem when internal

storage is limited

• For example, my MotoG3 has 8 GB, but,

the OS, the pre-installed apps, and just a

few user-installed apps leave about

500 MB free!

Custom ROM’s

• Android is open-source

• Third-party developers

create custom ROM’s (i.e. different

versions of the OS and the apps)• Bootloader must be unlocked

(phone not tied to a specific carrier)

• Custom ROM is flashed to phone

• Phone can be rooted (if desired)

Custom ROM’s

Installing a custom ROM will

void the phone’s warranty

* Not a problem if the phone is already out of warranty!
