    Why smartphones with identical hardware have different performance? Which parts of Android OS that are usually modified/implemented by smartphone manufacturers have the greatest impact on it?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2021 01:00 PM PDT

    I wonder which parts of Android OS are usually modified/implemented by smartphone manufacturers and in which parts the manufacturers usually making something wrong or not optimal (due to the saving of time and therefore money).

    So, Android OS has several layers.

    • System Apps
    • Java API Framework
    • Native C/C++ Libraries and Android Runtime
    • Hardware Abstraction Layer
    • Linux Kernel

    https://developer.android.com/guide/platform

    According to my knowledge smartphone manufacturers:

    • write own apps in System Apps Layer
    • implement Hardware Abstraction Layer
    • can modifies Linux Kernel.

    So I assume the answer is in this three layers.

    I know that too many unnecessary applications installed by manufacturers can significantly slow down a smartphone. But how does it look like with a poorly written HAL or when the Linux kernel is outdated?

    Using App Mediation

    Posted: 25 Apr 2021 06:39 AM PDT

    Hi,

    As 10000s of other developers, I got the AdMob account limit. My question is if I create a new account but for example use Appodeal or any other mediation with that account will it be safer? Or it is the same thing.

    Modifying Android/data/ in Android 11

    Posted: 25 Apr 2021 01:50 AM PDT

    I know it is not possible to access data folder in android 11 but many file managers are able to do this by asking for a one time permission to "USE THIS FOLDER" from the default files app. One such app is X-plore File Manager. Then it is able to read and write Android/data directory. Is there any way to implement this or a documentation which I seem to have missed? ( I check out the apps manifest file and it targets sdk 29 not 30)

    Changing bundle Id to reset the ratings. What to expect?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2021 03:44 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I have fairly recently ported my VPN app for the first time to Android. I have made some mistakes in not realising that the demographic of the Android users are very different. I got now many users from countries that I didn't have before, and didn't know that the type of VPN I was providing, was blocked in those countries in the first place. This resulted in many bad reviews.

    I have now changed the VPN technology from ground up and I'm confident that it will work. It is also no longer free and requires a subscription after a short trial. I really would like to start fresh and wipe all bad reviews. But Unlike Apple, Google doesn't allow it.

    The only way to do this is to create a new app with a new id. Do you recommend this approach? I'm ok losing all the existing users, as they weren't so many and not happy in the first place.

    I believe the steps I have to take are

    1. Unpublish the current app
    2. Create a new app with the same name, but different bundle id.
    3. Can Firebase Analytics be unlinked and linked to the new bundle id under the same project?
    4. Recreating Google PubSub to point to the new bundle id.

    Is there anything I'm missing? Any concerns?

    The alternative is to carry on and try to get better reviews and stick to what I have. What do you think?

    Many Thanks,

    Admob Issues Again

    Posted: 24 Apr 2021 11:58 AM PDT

    Hi,

    My 8-year-old Admob account got hit with the ad serving limit. I am advertising my app using Google Ads (UAC) and Facebook Ads. I followed and read all the policies placed in my ads as shown in their screenshots even limited the impressions per hour etc. Why does this happen is it because of advertising my app or what? It is really frustrating, to be honest. At least I have the option to contact them via email to solve the issue. If anyone has any advice or anything. This is really getting out of hand 1000s of developers are complaining.

    Edit: Oh and btw I saw that only $4 dollars are removed from $1000 at then end of last month. So for $4 dollars "invalid traffic" account is flagged. What a joke. Meanwhile scam and rubbish apps are stuffed with admob ads to the brim and running strong on app store with millions of downloads.

    First time Android app developer. Please send me down the right path.

    Posted: 24 Apr 2021 12:32 PM PDT

    I am a relatively proficient C# developer that is comfortable in the general Java architecture (obviously).

    I am considering writing a personal application for myself storing data in a database entered by myself that can create a list based on my selections and email the list to myself (or place the list on the clipboard for pasting into email - either way).

    I see that Room is suggested for the DB interface. What do I need to do as far as setting up my windows PC to begin developing this app? What about emulation? Will my phone run my app without a certificate, etc...

    I have so many questions but would really appreciate any help to get me off the couch and into the android dev game.

    TIA

    This would just be for private use- I'm not a developer and have no knowledge of android dev.
