It is estimated that many friends have seen Xiaomi's recent changes to the surging OS.
Specifically.
It is a "development version" that has lasted for more than ten years, during which it has provided fresh functions to countless enthusiasts, and the curtain is coming to an end.
This matter has been officially announced, and it is completely true.
According to Xiaomi.
This wave of painful parting with "Orange Friday" is not to be lazy and reduce workload.
On the contrary, it is to further improve the quality of the version of The Paper.
Brother Ji has reviewed before, MIUI's early update strategy and frequency.
It is mainly divided into stable version, development version and trial version.
The update speed is also quite outrageous.
The development version is updated every Monday.
The trial version (that is, the later closed beta version), even two or three days will be updated to a version.
The donkeys of the production team are not so productive.
It's just that time can change a lot of things.
More than a decade later, Xiaomi has changed from an early Internet company to a technology company that integrates systems, mobile phones and automobiles.
MIUI has also been transformed into a surging OS.
The early system update mode can no longer meet the current development needs of The Paper.
Anyway, Brother Ji is now shopping in various digital forums, and you can see surging OS users, complaining about the basic smoothness of the system.
Let's say it's a card, it's not a card.
It's just that the frame drop will be triggered at any time, making you feel very uncomfortable to use.
All kinds of problems have forced the official to stop the "development version" and concentrate resources to optimize the fluency and heating.
What's changed in the new update plan?
The specific change plan, the official gave a very intuitive diagram.
Only two versions of The Paper OS will be maintained.
One is the "beta version" for early beta users.
The other is the "official version" for all users.
Ahem, here's the point.
After the implementation of these two versions, the "beta version" and the "official version" finally realized that the data was not cleared by mutual flashing.
And before that.
If you are using the development version and want to return to the arms of the official version, you will have to clear the data before upgrading.
It's so troublesome, it's so divided.
What's even more confusing.
In many cases, new features given in the development version may not be merged into the stable version after waiting for two months.
It's like a couple meeting in a different place for half a year.
Obviously, the relationship between the two is very close, but when they get together, they are so embarrassed that they hit the ground with their toes.
Of course, organic friends may find this wave of changes familiar.
Familiarity is right.
In fact, as early as three years ago, MIUI said that it would merge the development version and the stable version into a single main line of code, wearing the same pants.
But as soon as this pie was drawn, it was painted in the surging OS era.
The good news is that this time the official should be in earnest.
Starting from August 2024, the "development version" of all Xiaomi models will be officially discontinued.
At the same time, the "Development Version" can be upgraded directly to the "Production Version".
As for the "beta version", let's just treat it as the "official version of the closed beta", which still needs to be applied for and the update rhythm is more flexible.
Why is it only now that we are starting to change?
Still, Orange Friday is an old tradition that has been going on for more than a decade.
Maybe the fans will feel that after the development version is cut, the rice noodles will be very unhappy.
But the opposite is true.
Brother Ji went to the Xiaomi forum and Ku'an to watch.
The rice noodles can't be said to be sorry for it, it's simply a celebration for the whole world.
Some old brothers said that now that all systems are improving, it has long been impossible to give users new functions and new features every week as before.
Instead of racking your brains and brushing the version number for a little feature.
It's better to cancel the development version directly.
In this way, the workers in the development team can lose less hair.
Users don't have to worry about what the weekly development version is up.
As for why didn't the official move this change strategy when The Paper OS was just released?
Part of the reason is that since the release of The Paper, the overall experience and user evaluation have not improved much.
Although the interrupt animation of a single application is in place.
But after a few applications in a short period of time, the feeling of lag comes in.
So much so that when you use the development version of rice noodles, you will often be suspicious.
In the weekly changelog—
Improve system stability and optimize system smoothness
Is it really optimized, or is it a pure brush version number?
In addition, from Brother Ji's own experience.
Many of the features of The Surging OS are still hierarchical.
For example, elegant interrupt animations can be enjoyed on basic flagship machines.
But I upgraded the surging OS of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra a while ago, and its animation is not bad at all with the MIUI period.
There's nothing to say, let's feel it
Including surging OS, high-grade materials that are blown and blown up.
同样是新旗舰独享的moment。
Old flagship? It's really unfamiliar.
Do you say it's because the chip computing power is not enough?
The Snapdragon 865 comes with an interrupted animation, and it's still a light speaker.
From these details, it can also be seen how fragmented the official system optimization of different models is.
Therefore, the system update branch streamlining should be implemented before the release of The Paper OS2.0.
Otherwise, it is obviously the same system, and each model uses a different feeling.
It's no wonder that this reputation can get better.
In addition to the historical legacy of its own system.
I don't know if you have noticed that the enthusiasm of various systems for fluency and dynamic effect optimization has suddenly been raised.
The first is ColorOS, which was updated at the end of April and focused on optimizing the animations.
Not only the startup animation is more elegant.
The most basic applications cold start, switch, and interrupt have also become smoother.
Recently, Flyme also officially announced that it would focus on optimizing the dynamic effects of the system.
OriginOS 4和HarmonyOS 4.2更不用多说。
These two players, in terms of animation stability and system smoothness, are the first echelon.
On the one hand, the surging OS itself has many historical problems, and user satisfaction is not high.
On the other hand, friends are becoming more and more active in system updates, giving Ami invisible pressure.
No longer bother to optimize and rectify.
Smoothness is really two streets away from other systems.
The picture comes from the Internet
