Chapter 460 The Collapse of the Flood Peak
The logo, which should have been centered, was stretched into an elongated shape, blurry, and its outline was indistinguishable. The progress bar had moved to the very edge of the screen.
Half of it is not displayed, and it is not clear at all which step it has reached.
"It's okay, it's okay. The boot animation issue is with the image resources. We'll just resize it later."
Hong Feng quickly comforted everyone, after all, it was a minor incident.
They've encountered similar problems before; after all, Android is a mess, and it's normal for it to have minor issues occasionally.
After finally getting the computer to boot up and enter the system, the cheers in the office stopped the moment the desktop appeared.
What should have been a neatly arranged 4x5 desktop icon layout has been squeezed into a 4x6 layout in the new system, with half of the bottom row of icons buried at the bottom of the screen, making them unclickable.
In addition, the desktop wallpaper was also forcibly stretched, making the faces of the characters look extremely long.
The most outrageous thing is the virtual buttons at the bottom. The three buttons are directly pasted at the bottom of the screen, and a third of the back button is outside the display area.
And this is because a bunch of problems appeared as soon as I got to the desktop!
This also made Hong Feng realize that the system might be even more flawed than he had imagined!
After all, he had never encountered such a scenario before.
"Go into the settings and turn on the full-screen device switch."
Hong Feng's voice sounded a little flustered because he was anxious.
The tester reached out to swipe the screen to bring up the notification settings, but the system UI crashed as soon as the finger swiped from the top.
The desktop went black for a moment, then reloaded after 2 seconds, and the icons were messed up again.
"What's going on? Where's the system UI? But why is the communication from next door completely fine?"
The testers did nothing but keep testing, but the notification bar would crash every time they swiped.
The person next to them had just thought of a great idea and started praying incessantly!
Perhaps it was due to some superstitious influence, but after finally managing to tap into the settings icon and find the full-screen adaptation option, the settings app crashed immediately upon opening.
At the same time, a message appeared on the screen: "Sorry, the settings have stopped working due to an unknown issue."
"What the hell is this?"
Quickly check the logs to see what the problem is.
Upon receiving Hong Feng's instructions, the people below began to carry them out, but when they pulled up the logs, the screen was filled with red error messages!
The flood peak instantly sent chills down my spine.
The system UI crashed because it called Google's new full-screen display API, but that API was an empty implementation, and calling it resulted in a null pointer exception.
The crash occurred because the window service associated with the adaptation options did not pass complete parameters, resulting in an error.
Even worse, the display frame size measurement logic has an underlying problem, causing all application layouts to be calculated incorrectly, resulting in the display area being either truncated or stretched.
"Google's base package... is completely unusable!"
One of the developers was there, sighing incessantly.
"This isn't some basic package; it's clearly a half-finished product they're asking us to help them complete. No wonder they're so lenient, allowing us to modify it freely!"
"So how are we going to explain this to Boss Lei?"
"Oh no! It's going to be delayed again. They'll definitely investigate the attacks on the other end of the communication channel one after another, no doubt about it."
Everyone had already guessed what Transmission was going to do next, but they couldn't stop it, since their partner was too incompetent.
No wonder people in blue and green were willing to wait to get on the bus!
Hong Feng didn't join the complaining crowd. Instead, he picked up another test device to see if its built-in camera would work.
Clicking the icon causes the app to crash in one second. Clicking the album again causes all the pictures to be stretched and distorted.
"Minister, what should we do?"
The group members were all looking at him.
The people who were calculating their bonuses this afternoon are now thinking about whether they should quit their jobs and go to Transsion.
After all, this system is truly awful. Let alone getting it adapted in two months, it would be good if it could be adapted by the middle of next year.
However, Hong Feng was also anxious, after all, he had just made a promise to Lei Busi that afternoon, and yet he had encountered a... minor problem so soon.
But they can't stay silent either. The test machine is right there, and the bugs are everywhere. Besides, if they don't say anything, and Lei Jun posts something on Weibo, that would be a major blow to them!
So at exactly 12 o'clock, Lei Jun, who had just finished his work, received this terrible news.
"Mr. Lei, did Google lie to us?"
"They haven't even finished developing it; the so-called full-screen design is just a framework!"
"The system is riddled with bugs; there are hardly any usable systems..."
Moreover, just as Hong Feng was reporting, a team member next to him was about to reach out when the system crashed.
"I didn't do it! I didn't even touch it!"
"Mr. Lei, the system has crashed!" Hong Feng repeated it to him again. Lei Jun on the other end of the phone was so frightened that he was no longer sleepy. He finally understood how serious the problem was.
Looking at his concerned wife beside him, Lei Jun could only frown and say:
"Understood, we'll discuss it in a meeting tomorrow!"
…………
The next morning, just as DaMi started his meeting, the Digital Chat Station was updated:
"Recently, 'full-screen' has become a hot topic, and various companies have officially announced their full-screen plans."
Especially with Google's "native support".
Many people believe that full-screen displays are not that difficult to achieve; it's just that a certain manufacturer took a shortcut and gained an advantage early on.
However, it's not that simple in reality!
Full-screen displays are never just about changing the aspect ratio; a complete full-screen adaptation solution requires handling at least six modules...
To give our competitors some face, we'll leave you to check the Transsion website for the specific six.
The system Google is testing essentially does only half the job: it stretches the system's default aspect ratio.
The remaining 5 major modules are either not completed or are empty shells.
Two and a half months to produce a crippled version, it has no practical significance other than grabbing the title of first release.
On the contrary, it will make more people realize how difficult it was for Transsion to make a full-screen display, and how many tough challenges they overcame.
All I can say is that Google has run out of steam!
Meanwhile, I'd like to suggest that if certain manufacturers particularly like the full-screen gimmick, they could release a few full-screen phones like Vivo and OPPO did to test the waters. [doge emoji]
"I used to think Google was the father of Android, the big father of all manufacturers, but now it seems that father isn't all that great?"
"I suggest Google poach some engineers from around the world instead of working in isolation in Silicon Valley."
"Dami just said they'd release a full-screen phone this year, right? They're probably fixing bugs overnight, aren't they?"
"The rice has become a boomerang!"
It's estimated that Lei Jun (CEO of Xiaomi) announced the news immediately after receiving the initial information; he didn't even look at the installation package himself.
"That can't be right. Lei Jun is the vice president of Kingsoft, and he works in software. How could he possibly have never even seen it? That's a bit outrageous..."
We were just joking, there's no need to be so harsh!
