Chapter 457 Completed Android Full-Screen Adaptation
Chapter 457 Completed Android Full-Screen Adaptation
Why are you even looking at this kind of news?
Is it that they lack money, or that they lack resources?
Cai Xukun's current contract belongs to Transsion Pictures. We represent all of his artist management contracts, music copyright contracts, and film and television contracts.
Those who want to take advantage of the situation, just refuse them!
"We are a star-making company. Although we are currently focused on collaboration, it doesn't mean that we have to give up our achievements to others."
Li Qing's lips twitched. This was in line with the boss's persona; after all, what's rightfully theirs is theirs.
That afternoon, Transsion Pictures' official Weibo account posted a message.
This is a black and white photo of Cai Xukun sitting in front of a piano. He is facing the camera with his face turned to the side, and the light is coming in from the window, making half of his face bright and the other half dark.
"The recording of Transsion Pictures' first music album, 'Spring Overture,' has officially begun. This summer, let's hear Cai Xukun's voice together."
"Transsion's execution is really fast. Kun Kun already has his own music album. It feels like Transsion didn't just make a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather that they had been preparing for it for a long time."
"Releasing an album right after it ended, is there even a question? I hope the established entertainment companies will put some pressure on us and stop creating hype for us."
"Holy crap, not just one! Yang Chaoyue's side has also officially announced it!"
"Damn, every album is full of songs! I feel like my wallet can't handle it. This is truly a happy problem!"
"I thought Transsion was just a mobile phone company, but it's actually a long-established entertainment company. I just didn't know when it started venturing into animation!"
…………
Meanwhile, across the ocean, at Google headquarters.
Android's deputy chief engineer, Dave Burke, is finishing an emergency development project.
Android 4.4.3 official release.
In theory, everyone should be celebrating; they had completed the task imposed by headquarters. But their faces were bloodless, and they were as numb as robots.
After all, apart from organizing the code of Shit Mountain, all I did during this period was develop a framework, and I didn't take any concrete action to adapt it.
Therefore, it's less of a full-screen version of Android and more of a shell, and an extremely unstable one at that...
"Finally submitted."
"But... is this really going to work? What if the system crashes?"
"That's not our problem. After all, they only gave us enough time to do so much work, and we've already done our best!"
I did my best!
Three words kept appearing in everyone's minds.
"But if it collapses, we'll be the ones left holding the bag. Should we just start from scratch?"
But before this troublemaker could finish speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on his hand.
Some people even started waving their fists!
The person immediately panicked: "I was just joking, I don't want to develop it."
"After all, those guys on the board are inhuman; how could they possibly finish developing it in such a short time?"
Dave Burke ignored their argument, after all, he was well aware of the potential pitfalls of the framework, but as long as it didn't activate, it was perfect.
As long as I can get the job done, that's fine!
After everyone had been discussing for a while, Dave Burke tapped on the table, and the meeting room immediately fell silent.
At that moment, Sundar Pichai also pushed open the door and walked in.
"Warriors, I heard you have completed the development work. How is it going?"
Could we start the global rollout on March 3rd?
After saying that, Sundar Pichai sat down in the main seat next to Dave Burke, but when his gaze shifted from the people present, he could no longer smile!
"Wow, what on earth happened?"
"The CEO reiterates: the development work simply cannot be completed in a short period of time!"
After he finished speaking, he pushed a report in front of Sundar Pichai.
This is the final result of the internal compatibility test that was conducted just before the meeting began.
Because they used some of Transsion's driver engines, the full-screen version achieved a 78% compatibility rate with existing applications.
Plagiarism?
A less than ideal outcome came to Sundar Pichai's mind.
After all, Transsion's legal team is capable of going against even Congress. If they plagiarize, the other party is really willing to sue, and might even have to cut shares!
Even with these measures, the system remained unstable.
78% seems high, but in other words, it means that at least 2 to 3 out of every 10 applications will experience anomalies of varying degrees.
For example, crashes, stretching, black screens, and a whole host of other problems.
What frightened him even more was that this data was generated under Google's standard testing environment.
When it reaches real users, the compatibility rate will only be lower!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Sundar Pichai gently tapped the table.
"I know the time was tight, and everyone here did their best."
But I must make myself clear!
The product released on the 3rd cannot be such an unstable version; we must conduct thorough testing, otherwise this would be a disaster for Transsion.
"Boss, we don't want to do this either! But a full-screen design is like a major version update, and it will take us at least a year to develop this product!"
Nine months were spent on development, and three months on testing.
But you've given us three months, and achieving this result is already a miracle.
"Yes, Mr. Sundar, you are also a technically oriented manager, so you should be aware of the problems that can arise in software development!"
The support team sent by Google kept speaking up for him, because although he had received enough overtime pay during this period, he really didn't want to go through this kind of life again!
This is outrageous. I doubt only those corrupt officials in China could accept such behavior.
After saying that, he silently shook his head in his heart!
Sundar Pichai glanced at Dave Burke, the operations leader, but the man remained silent.
"So you're gambling?"
"I'm betting that the developers can complete the restrictions quickly, that users can tolerate some compatibility issues, and that Transsion's legal team won't send you to jail."
Sundar Pichai's temper flared up completely, after all, the time was indeed a bit short, but he had done his best!
He had plenty of development funding, and he even humbled himself and begged Google for support!
And yet these people... were still gambling!
And it's a gamble on a situation that's almost certainly going to end in defeat!
"Dave, what if we lose the bet?"
Seeing that everyone was running away, Sundar Pichai immediately shifted his focus to the person in charge.
But the other party remained stubborn and refused to admit it.
"Of course I know that if Android loses the full-screen experience, it will be criticized by users to the point of being completely destroyed, and it will become the best GG of Taishan system!"
But this is the best result we could achieve in the limited time available!
