Support Status

There is a column in the table called "Support Status". What does this mean? Are these versions of the OS no longer officially supported? Is the API not supported? Where are the citations/links to official Google sources indicating they are unsupported? -Seinfreak37 (talk) 14:54, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Starting with Android 5.0 Lollipop, monthly security patches are released, which come with new build numbers.
The most recent build for Lollipop is LMY49M, which was released in July 2016 for the Google Nexus 10.
Android Marshmallow and Nougat still receive new builds every month, which means they're still supported.

Evidence of this is on the Google Factory Images page, and the Android Build Numbers page.
When Google stops releasing monthly security updates for Android Marshmallow, then it will be unsupported.

I am looking at a 5.1.1

• Kernel version 3.10.65-10429622 Jan 18 2017

Android Security Patch level

• 1 January 2017

All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:48, 3 April 2017 (UTC).

The support status column is misleading. The support from Google is only for specific hardware devices, not for the AOSP version. Also the support reference link is of poor quality. The link below is more clear about the Google support ending dates.

Pie chart colors

Whoever you are, are you color blind!? You could not have picked worse colors even if you tried to do it deliberately. :( Please change the top 4 colors (and all colors in fact) to more discriminating ones, this is ridiculous. Naki (talk) 14:32, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

For some reason an editor has uploaded this pie charge as an image, so it's difficult for anyone else to update it. I'd speculate that the colours were chosen to approximate the real life colours of the desserts themselves. Are the colours at Android (operating system)#Platform usage any better? We could replace the image on this page with the main article's wiki-chart if necessary and then tweak the colours all day long. – Steel 19:08, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

They were simpler before in all fairness. There's too much squashed in now. Can we get a consensus on something similar to iOS version history? Include the two or three newest versions individually, then everything else as "older versions" grouped together. I'll post a link to the iOS pie for comparison. Thanks ツ Jenova20 ^(email) 10:15, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Examples:

Global Android version distribution as of February 2017. Android Lollipop is the most widely used version of Android, running on 32.9% of all Android devices accessing Google Play, while Android Marshmallow runs on 30.7% of devices.

Platform usage as measured by the App Store on February 23, 2017.

  iOS 10 (79%)

  iOS 9 (16%)

  Earlier (5%)

Can we limit the Android pies to something similar? Maybe not as restrictive but trim it a little in future? Thanks ツ Jenova20 ^(email) 10:22, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

@Steel -- No, these colors are equally horrible. See the basic 16 colors for what one would expect to see and what would be best:

Web_colors#HTML_color_names IF/when more than 16 colors are needed, then extra colors might be added. But the basic 16 colors are quite sufficient here. There is no need to tweak the colors too much, just have them be distinguishable.

Naki (talk) 09:34, 1 April 2017 (UTC) 

Jenova20, NO. Limiting the Android OS versions chart to just 3 colors (items) the way iOS pie chart looks is a really bad idea, so do not do that.Naki (talk) 09:34, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Addition - OK, yes - maybe in the future when there are too many Android OS versions to show them all, the list/chart could be made shorter/simpler by combining some of those. But currently I do not think with the versions released up to now that would be any good. 09:36, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

@Naki "Maybe not as restrictive but trim it a little in future" I don't think you read my message since you replied twice and both replies are contradictory...Thanks anyway though ツ Jenova20 ^(email) 08:29, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

You are welcome. Sorry, the 2 images get in the way, so I might have missed a bit of your text. Anyway, I do not think the number of colors is the matter here, but the (badly chosen) colors themselves.

Basic 16 colors provide plenty colors to choose from. And the future you/I quote is likely at least 2-3 years away, I think. P.S. Can you move both images to the right? (so they do not get in the way in the way they do now) Naki (talk) 15:09, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Sooo..? What happens now? No one up to the task at all? :( Naki (talk) 12:13, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Shades of Android green

  Earlier (10.9%)

  KitKat (18.8%)

  Lollipop (32.0%)

  Marshmallow (31.2%)

  Nougat (7.1%)

Google's logo colors

  Earlier (10.9%)

  KitKat (18.8%)

  Lollipop (32.0%)

  Marshmallow (31.2%)

  Nougat (7.1%)

The chart needed to be updated with the new distribution numbers, so I replaced the image with a simple {{Pie chart}}. For the colors I chose the same ones used in the table. Also, I replaced the mention to Marshmallow in the caption to Nougat. I don't know what the original intent was (either to mention the two most widely used versions, or the most used and the newest).--Titore (talk) 02:43, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

The original idea was to have something similar to the IOS pie chart where we replace the earliest versions with a single section called "earlier" while they're still around. I figured that way we could avoid up to 10 or more entries on the pie chart, with very similar colours in some cases, making for a difficult comparison. Thanks ツ Jenova20 ^(email) 08:17, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

I think using shades of Android green, like they do on the official distribution page, looks beautiful. Otherwise just stick to basic (white, yellow, blue, red, green) colors. Or, hey, why don't use google's logo colors at this point?

Note: versions below <10% were put together in "earlier" as suggested, but really, re-adding those almost invisible 1.0% and 0.8% shouldn't be a problem anyway; as right now earlier is basically almost only Jelly Bean (9.1%) --Titore (talk) 10:06, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

I like your mockup, but i do have a few issues with it which i'd like to share: the colour scheme doesn't follow what we already have attributed to each version, i have a personal preference for pie charts going clockwise from the top (they're easier to measure with the eye), no version numbers included - which your average user will know better than the name of the version they have. Other than that i like it. A lot. It's simple and it doesn't include a long list of old versions, which is what made the old one hard to look at and like. PS. The green one is terrible. When you include multiple versions all in green it's going to be very confusing. Thanks ツ Jenova20 ^(email) 11:17, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Gingerbread and ICS added back

  Gingerbread (1.0%)

  Ice Cream Sandwich (0.8%)

  Jelly Bean (9.1%)

  KitKat (18.8%)

  Lollipop (32.0%)

  Marshmallow (31.2%)

  Nougat (7.1%)

Well, the whole point of this discussion is to change the colors.

The current chart already follows the same color scheme attributed to each version, exactly the same CSS color code, and it doesn't look great. I don't think Gingerbread and ICS were what made the chart look bad, but the colors used; see the new chart I made with them added back.

The version numbers are not included because some code names summarize two or more version numbers, like it is on google's page; eg "Jelly Bean 9.1%" is actually 4.1 (3.2%) + 4.2 (4.6%) + 4.3 (1.3%). I personally would try to avoid crowding the cart, since alongside on the left there's already a table explaining what each code name's version number is, but it wouldn't be much of an issue adding those too.

>I have a personal preference for pie charts going clockwise from the top

I don't think we can control that on the current {{Pie chart}} template. What's funny is that on the italian wiki it works exactly as you said by default.--Titore (talk) 12:27, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

First versions: Angel cake and Battenburg

end of support

What are the dates for end of support for each Android version? The article only states "supported" or "unsupported," and the citations provided do not seem to make any clear references to which versions are supported or not, or when they reached their end of support. I could not find much on Google either, other than that feature development is apparently only supported for 18 months (though security updates continue to be supported for longer than that). Out of personal interest, I have an Android 5.0 phone, and I would like to be able to find out when it might reach end of support. I could estimate this if I knew the average length of time it took for previous versions to reach their end of support. Nicole Sharp (talk) 00:38, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Furthermore, Android's Security Updates and Resources page says the following: When a security vulnerability in AOSP is fixed in an Android Security Bulletin, we'll notify Android partners of issue details and provide patches. The Android security team currently provides patches for Android versions 4.4 (KitKat) and above. This list of backport-supported versions changes with each new Android release. So it seems 4.4 is still supported. 89.31.193.201 (talk) 10:21, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Headless TOC: A bad idea.

The headless TOC is discouraging to editors, because one can not directly edit the section of an individual Android version.

Additionally, this increases the chance of an edit conflict.

Version History Chart

I am the maintainer of the version history chart over here. Someone recently removed it from this page because google still has not updated the source data since May 2019. Here are a couple alternative data sources I located, and the earliest available time.

Statcounter, June 2017

NetMarketShare, May 2016

I am thinking on using a time weighted approach to gradually migrating over to the new data source without skewing suddenly the data. For example, if NetMarketShare is used as the new data source:

Time Period	Weight (Google Data)	Weight (NetMarketShare Data)
Q2 2016	100%	0%
Q2 2017	69%	31%
Q2 2018	38%	62%
Q2 2019	8%	92%
Q3 2019	0%	100%

Support column

Discussion from @Karl.horky: about the addition of the "Support" column:

• If you would see more value in adding a column "supported" (yes/no) or "has reached end of life" (yes/no), then that would be acceptable too. (Actually would be more useful for this specific use case).

• My issue with mentioning the end of life for Android versions is that support does not really end. It's been brought up before in January 2018. The source provided then still holds and additionally the AOSP has a section for supporting older versions. [1] I'm thinking maybe as the restrictions are being placed by the Play Store for the minimum API to use - that could be stated as the compatibility? – The Grid (talk) 17:34, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
• > support does not really end
  Hmm... that's not true - even the source you linked says "This list of backport-supported versions changes with each new Android release"
  
  However, the word "Supported" can mean many things - I would be ok with changing the column to something like "Receives Security Fixes" or "End of Life".
  
  Karl.horky (talk) 13:01, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
• @The_Grid I corrected the edit to the column that referred to the Play store ("Play supported" -> "Supported (security fixes)"), because the metric in this column refers to whether the OS still receives updates incl. security fixes - not Play store support.
  
  If you can point to some resource that mentions Play store support (and maybe this metric overlaps with security fixes) then we could change to "Supported (security fixes, Play Store)"
  
  213.164.4.26 (talk) 11:50, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

• The support column was changed when I added two paragraphs in the Overview section about the Play Store compatibility. This would be the direct source used. I can see this is stating Google Play Console and there's ambiguity with stating "Play support" as the Play Store will work on any version. – The Grid (talk) 13:21, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Webcrawler or search engine basis

I don't believe the notion of maintaining the version column for versions after "Android 9.0 Pie" or any related content of the main table as this page was not made to single-handedly maintain functionality for a webcrawler. I know if I search for Android version history, I will get a featured snippet of the table. However, we have no control over how this is maintained. I will be glad to be shown otherwise (really, I make mistakes). It seems contradictory to Wikipedia policies for the table to function based on usage outside of this website. – The Grid (talk) 12:37, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

As I said in my edit summary personally I think the 10 & 11 in the version history is helpful to our readers and sort of makes the table more neater, However I do agree web crawling etc is meaningless here and had it not been for my preference his edit would've been reverted. –Davey2010^Talk 12:47, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

@Davey2010: I understand that as well. It's just the naming conventions for Android has changed dramatically since Nougat where Google switched from major.minor.patch to a unified yearly release and then stopped x.1 patches as updates can be pushed within Google Play. I'll revert my edit but it's just the nitpicking of the table has been driving me insane. – The Grid (talk) 12:56, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi The Grid, Many thanks for undoing your revert - That certainly is commendable and I thank you for doing that, Technically the other guy would need to get consensus for it and if you have a genuine problem with 10/11 being there then an RFC could be done so others would get to choose, If any more table-nitpicking happens let me know and I'll revert if needed, Thanks again, –Davey2010^Talk 16:30, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Information about EOL for Android (February 2022)

There is a disagreement between me and The Grid about if information about latest security patch version and latest Google Play Services version should be stated within this article and I think there should be a general talk/vote about if the information is relevant or not. For easy comparisson here is The Grid's approach and my approach. I am personally fine with creating another subsection called "Support" in which these information are present but I think security patch levels and Google Play levels are too important for Android to just not state within this article.

The Grid's arguments for not including the info: "The info about the version support seems too much - it should just be a yes or no question" "outside the scope of Wikipedia" and "no other mobile OS history mentions security versions"

My arguments for including the info: The information about EOL is in the version history of all other major OS (see Windows 10 version history macOS version history or iOS version history) so it's definitely not to much or outside the scope of Wikipedia. While the operating systems like Windows, macOS and iOS change the version number to signal an update Android functions differently and states security patches level and Google Play Service levels as version indication which ridicules the argument that no other OS history mentions security version.

no more updates since January 2022 https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/ --83.135.146.154 (talk) 08:34, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes Android 9 reached EOS in January 2022. Looking at the table with expanded information a pattern becomes visible.--RM12 (talk) 10:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Snow Cone v2 is distributed as "Android 12.1"

In the General section of the article, Snow Cone v2 is referred to as Android 12, whereas in devices with this OS it is referred to as 12.1. 188.205.16.19 (talk) 17:17, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

The article states that rolling screenshots are a feature introduced in android 12. This feature is part of android 11. 2600:1007:B00B:3204:E09D:621E:BAB8:D452 (talk) 22:05, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The source you listed doesn't mention screenshots at all. FrederalBacon (talk) 22:12, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

This is not correct. Scrolling screenshots were not in the final Android 11 build, only in the beta previews. This feature didn't officially come out until Android 12. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:05, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Android 1.0 and 1.1

I belive Android 1.0 and 1.1, especially 1.0, have enough verifiable sources and demand to be added as it's own page. 204.100.235.152 (talk) 18:23, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

I can also add information about the betas of Android 1.0, or create an entire page dedicated to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Android_version_history&oldid=891065886#Pre-commercial_release_versions 204.100.235.152 (talk) 18:27, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

You can start a draft at Draft:Android 1.0, and then we'll take a look. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:11, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Codename of android 1.0 and 1.1 is...

Android 1.0 is codename "Apple Pie"!
Android 1.1 is codename "Banana Bread"! João César da Silva Ferreira (talk) 05:31, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

That's technically not true. Android 1.0 never officially received a codename. Android 1.1, however, is internally codenamed "Petit Four". https://www.androidpolice.com/2012/09/17/a-history-of-pre-cupcake-android-codenames/ megamanfan3 (talk) 15:52, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Android 1.0 is codename "alpha"!
Android 1.1 is codename "beta"! Kiel Yan da Silva Alves (talk) 03:25, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
