no is problem.

how so? are you gonna develop separately for each device?

it is indeed huge problem and headache for developers, and i believe this is reason why all major apps work better on iphone.

It's called responsive design, you retard.

Maybe if manufacturers would use a more vanilla version of Android instead of chopping it up and making their own shitty roms then this wouldn't be as big of an issue? Also the special snowflake components that literally no other manufacturers use while requiring special drivers to get working are another issue.

>if all manufacturers made the same, shit, shovelphones using only commodity components,
things would be better

agree but is their actual solution?
mr street shitter, calm down and stop seething every time some criticizes your precious google. layouts are not only trouble in android fragmentation.

If you see fragmentation as a problem, the obvious solution is standardization. So you're stuck with Apple until there is a competitor.

In the desktop market their selling point of Mac OS for years has been that it's a standard/supported workstation oriented Unix for consumers.

And they basically dominate that market for the same reason... no competition.

Not saying OS X/iOS and Apple hardware is good or bad, just saying you don't really have an option in this specific scenario.
It's not like you're even able to get a palm, maemo, blackberry, or windows-phone, et al. device today.

Well, Sony phones would definitely be better if they used Google's camera app instead of their half-baked in house camera app that has fewer features and takes worse pictures for example.

Did pic related have any impact on OS fragmentation?

I should have also mentioned the obvious, Google themselves stands to fix this in Fuschia somehow, but that basically is a new product line separate from Android devices (even if there may be overlap).

No

take over the global phone market and only allow the Moto G5+

>Everything you expect to be there is there
Was this ever the case?

There is no solution, because there is no problem. You have millions of android devices to choose from. You know, think different :^) because you actually can unlike iFags who have 2-3 devices to choose from and laugh at those who don't have the latest one.

isn't it problem with architecture? i mean even microsoft is having difficulties making an arm based windows 10. google being fags is nothing new.

Treble was a failure. OEMs still don't give a fuck about updating their devices. It also didn't fix custom ROM development. Practically every treble enabled phone requires patches to work. You can't just flash the latest AOSP image to your phone and expect it to just work like what everyone was hoping for.

what would 2019 look like Jow Forums?

Run Defragger or MyDefragGUI

That has nothing to do with this, it's the chain of updates that's the problem.
There's nothing from stopping someone writing an operating system that can receive userland and driver updates, but for android, they depend on the manufacturers doing 90% of the work.
Plus, the image is just handsets, not updates.

"Fragmentation" in terms of market share is a buzzword coined by a marketing employee at Apple. It puts a negative spin on having choices, and a positive spin on having only one or two choices from the same company. After Apple coined it, other companies started using the word in the software space as well. Worse, I have seen it uttered by technology enthusiasts.

Please stop using the word "fragmentation" in this context. It puts a positive spin on proprietary non-free technology, and creates the illusion that stealing choice and freedom from users is actually a good thing.

now convert it into a stallman copypasta
