talking about android support homogenization [answered]
Hello everybody,
i remark that currently there is different supports of the android-support interface between the phone and the tablet. On technical aspect, there are for sure many available reasons for it. On user aspect side, that is really odd i find.
I don't understand my self why tablet has a compatibility of android 4.4 and the phone the 4.1. Experiences feels it-selves like difference os a little bit.
Is there a plan to have an homogenization of this interface on all kind of devices ? That would be great for the phone to have an higher level. But for the whole sfos project that would be great to have the same overall.
I'll be put some input here on it, for having a better understanding about this interface.
Cheers
Honestly unsure Jolla 1 will ever have different Android kernel, may be because of hardware limitations in original device

And the last android version for it was 4.3. Then i guess that the jp1 may work at last until 4.3 for sure.

@cemoi71 no there probably wont be an upgraded andoid support. afair newer android versions need a newer linux kernel version - which cant be upgraded because of the driver incompatabilities....
the tablet uses a newer kernel version afaik.....
