About this document
Android OS Development and Updates Explained by Dissasekara is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Android is developed privately by Google until updates are ready to be released publicly. The source code is adapted by device makers to run on their specific hardware, but does not include proprietary drivers. Major Android updates are released every 6-9 months by Google, but reaching devices is slow and older devices are often not updated due to the extensive hardware variations and manufacturers prioritizing new devices. Carriers can further delay updates with their own testing and customization.
