Hongmeng system has been in the application market for several years, but many people still have prejudices against Hongmeng system and have not really seen what kind of operating system Hongmeng is.
Just because Hongmeng system is compatible with Android applications, I think Hongmeng is a "shell" and "reskin" of Android. However, this idea is wrong. Huawei did not argue too much, but used practical actions to prove everything.
According to the new decision announced by Huawei, the Google code will be completely deleted after the Hongmeng 3.0 system is launched.
The controversy over the existence of Hongmeng
The Android kernel is controlled by Google. It is an open source operating system. All manufacturers can customize their own system products based on Android. The original Huawei also developed EMUI based on Android, bringing a unique experience to the majority of Huawei mobile phone users.
However, Google complied with the rules of its leaders and stopped authorizing Huawei's GMS mobile service framework. This resulted in Huawei's overseas version of mobile phones being unable to smoothly use a series of Google functional applications. This was unacceptable to overseas users' mobile phones and caused a sudden Huawei's overseas mobile phone market has declined sharply.
It wasn’t until Huawei launched the HMS service that the situation improved with the development of the ecosystem. In terms of operating systems, Huawei also has Hongmeng as a backup. Since then, the relationship between Huawei and Google has become increasingly weak, and it basically no longer needs to rely on Google system development.
However, since there were not many native and adapted applications in the early days of Hongmeng’s release, Huawei introduced the Android framework to be compatible with Android applications and ensure that users can continue to download the required APPs.
It is understandable that Huawei does this. If it does not do this, users may eventually give up using this system because they cannot download the required APP at the moment they apply the Hongmeng system.
With the Internet of Everything feature of Hongmeng system, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Hongmeng and Android are two products. The two are not on the same level of competition, but some people still accuse Hongmeng of "shelling" Android.
Huawei makes a new decision
The controversy over the existence of Hongmeng has existed since it was compatible with Android APPs. These people cannot understand the concept of open source. Moreover, many open source codes may not be developed by Google. In the Android open source community, there are excellent codes contributed by many manufacturers.
, including Huawei, also provides code support. Not to mention that Huawei's reference to open source code has nothing to do with Google. Even Google itself cannot do without the technology that Huawei has contributed. For example, Google’s Android 13 system uses Huawei’s EROFS super file system. Because it is an open source technology, Huawei has not said anything about Google’s use of this file system.
But some people insist on introducing Android open source code and strengthen their own understanding. However, after the Hongmeng 3.0 version system, this perception should completely change.
It is reported that Huawei has announced a new decision. After the third phase of Hongmeng’s open source code is launched, the code contributed by Google will be deleted.
Such a move truly meets the definition of a self-developed operating system. Even if Huawei continues to use these open source codes, there is no problem, but Huawei still chooses to replace Google’s open source codes with self-developed codes. At that time, Hongmeng will be rectified again, allowing those who have doubts to understand that their past ideas were wrong.
Hongmeng 3.0 will open a new chapter
Huawei launched the official version of Hongmeng 2.0 in June 2021, and the Hongmeng 3.0 system will arrive in the second half of this year. Although there is no specific release time yet, there are already some revelations about Hongmeng 3.0.
According to the leaked content, Hongmeng 3.0 will deeply optimize system performance and improve some previous logical operation details. In addition, there will be a new logical upgrade in the system's UI design to bring a better experience to users. In addition, the more important upgrade is that the connection efficiency of smart terminal devices will be higher.
I believe you have also discovered that more changes in Hongmeng 3.0 may focus on upgrades and optimizations. After all, Hongmeng 2.0 has established a complete framework.
provides a better Internet experience based on version 2.0. Of course, the existing leaks do not represent the final actual situation. We still need to wait until the release in the second half of the year to know how Hongmeng 3.0 will perform. Maybe Huawei will bring quite a surprise.
At present, many domestic manufacturers have developed equipment for Hongmeng system, so that smart terminal products of major brands have successively supported Hongmeng system. This gives Huawei mobile phone users a lot of room for operation. One mobile phone can connect everything. And with the arrival of Hongmeng version 3.0, a new chapter will be opened, and it will completely enter the fast lane in the field of IoT operating systems.
With Hongmeng in hand, Huawei no longer has to look at Google. Even not just Huawei, domestic manufacturers are also expected to build their own operating system products based on Hongmeng and develop an independent and controllable ecosystem. Huawei did not choose to keep Hongmeng systems such as
in its own hands. Instead, it donated the underlying open source Hongmeng to the Open Atom Open Source Foundation.
Hongmeng has become a national project. Huawei is only the system developer and maintainer of Hongmeng OS. The real open source Hongmeng system also requires the participation of many manufacturers, so that this Chinese operating system can have a broader world.
Summary
Starting from Hongmeng 3.0, a small number of Google codes will be deleted, which will once again rectify Hongmeng’s name. I don’t know if Google regrets its original decision, because Google stopped authorizing GMS services and Android system updates, which actually pushed Huawei on the road to becoming a world-class system manufacturer. But there's no point regretting, everything is doomed.
