Talking about Android Custom ROMs:

HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) was the first Android device which the developers found an exploit for and then got superuser access.

Koushik Dutta, founder of Clockwork Mod, provided the first detailed guide to root HTC G1.

The famous custom in those days was "JF ROM" by JesusFreke (I'm not sure if it was the first one)

JesusFreke stopped development in August 2009 and suggested users to shift to CyanogenMOD made by Steve Kodnik which was an enhanced version of JF!

CyanogenMOD's first version was 3.1 (Dream & Magic) which was released in July 2009. The final release was 13.0 ZNH5YAO (from Android 6.0.1 r61) which was released in 20 December 2016!

After CyanogenMOD's development ended, it was succeeded by LineageOS.

In December 2016 the CyanogenMod developer group forked and re-branded the CyanogenMod code into a new project named LineageOS, which is built on top of CyanogenMod versions 13 and 14.1. LineageOS version 15.1 was the first release fully controlled by the new LineageOS team.

There were also other custom ROMS in those days, like SlimRoms, Replicant, AOKP, OmniROM, Resurrection Remix OS, CalyxOS, CopperheadOS, /e/, Mokee ROM, Dirty Unicorns, and more! πŸ€–

Do let me know if I missed something πŸ˜–

Xiaomi β€˜HyperOS’ announced

Xiaomi has finally announced HyperOS, a larger unified branding for its entire ecosystem, ranging from smartphones to IOT products to cars etc.

For IoT products, HyperOS relies on the open-source Xiaomi Vela platform, which is based on the open-source RTOSβ€”NuttX.
While for smartphones & tablets, HyperOS is based on AOSP.

Base Android version is also independent of the HyperOS version. For eg, Xiaomi Pad 5 will be updated to HyperOS v1 based on Android 13.

Xiaomi says HyperOS allows for a stable frame rate & lower power consumption compared to stock Android when gaming but BTS, its just MIUI 15
In their whole press release, Xiaomi FAILED to explain the technical details of how different it is from outgoing MIUI firmware.

But Xiaomi’s HyperOS appears to show innovation is the HyperConnect framework that is meant for bringing all its devices together for a cohesive ecosystem experience

Xiaomi HyperOS will begin rollout internationally in Q1 2024.

Xiaomi HyperOS for smartphones is just rebranded MIUI

Xiaomi notes restructuring of modules like file & network system, memory management etc with HyperOS.
However, Xiaomi successfully fails to explain how different it is from MIUI firmware

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC ONLY supports 64bit apps

This forced Xiaomi to redo the overlays that target the 32bit Framework.
You can't build the frameworks as 32bit because of the massive overhead which is ~40% with tango

As they're forced to redo the framework, management see the potential to rebrand it along the way.
Thus the "Vela" platform was born in the marketing board

There is NO single reference to Xiaomi's open-sourced "Vela" Platform in Xiaomi work Gerrit (private).
Also, several Xiaomi HALs are 32bit including the MIUI media server LOL

So, HyperOS is just MIUI with new SystemUI overlays & an excuse to the technical difficulty of shipping 64-bit only lmao

FunFact: Xiaomi came up & trademarked HyperOS just last month on 28th September

Samsung ISOCELL Zoom Anyplace and Remosaic AI

Qualcomm unveiled Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC & highlighted new Zoom Anyplace, powered by Samsung’s first 200 MP image sensor optimized for Snapdragon.

The ISOCELL Zoom Anyplace lets users select the desired subject and the camera will automatically track and film it instead of manually focusing on a moving subject when shooting a video.

You can even simultaneously film full-screen & zoomed-in views in high resolution.

It also captures fast-moving subjects.
Plus, you can zoom in on subjects at the edge of the screen without changing your filming angle.

The 200MP camera can seamlessly zoom in at 2x or even 4x with NO drop off in resolution, instead of switching from wide to tele when zooming in at 3x or more which can also cause the angle to change.

The End-to-End (E2E) AI Remosaic for image capture improves the capture process by enabling the remosaic & ISP to take place simultaneously.
This results in overall faster image processing time

Google researchers turned existing headphones into Heart Rate Monitor
Source

Heart rate monitoring in smartwatches relies partially on photoplethysmography (PPG), which uses light pulses to measure blood activity

Now researchers at Google have successfully used audioplethysmography (APG), which utilizes ultrasound to measure heart rate, for cardiac monitoring with hearable devices WITHOUT adding extra sensors or compromising battery life.

They did it with off-the-shelf ANC earbuds & with just a software update.

The trick works by sending a low intensity ultrasound probing signal through an ANC headphone's speakers. This signal triggers echoes, which are received via on-board feedback microphones.

"We observe that the tiny ear canal skin displacement and heartbeat vibrations modulate these ultrasound echoes.
Ultrasound approach worked robustly even when music was playing & with bad earbuds sealed"

APG adheres to safety regulations with an 80dB margin below the limit

Apple Watch BAN Issued by ITC in Masimo Patent Battle
Source

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has ordered a BAN on Apple Watch imports into the country after finding that Apple infringed Masimo's patents relating to light-based technology for reading blood-oxygen levels.

Masimo accused Apple of having illegally poached Masimo employees and stole trade secrets when developing the Apple Watch.
The company is seeking over $1.8 billion in damages and co-ownership of 5 Apple pulse oximetry patents that's originally Masimo's tech

Apple might also face another Ban on Watch import in a separate patent court battle with AliveCor company.

The ban is now subject to presidential review, so it does NOT take effect immediately.
Apple can also take the ban to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit after the 60-day review period ends.

Apple said: "Masimo has wrongly attempted to use the ITC to keep a potentially lifesaving product from millions of U.S. consumers"
LOL Apple
