    My Huawei phone still seems to run on Android (according to the kernel version). Does anyone know more details when this will be available?

      I havent seen more than a list of eligible devices and a general timeframe like the above article describes.

      Some sources stated that it’s only for the ALS models (Chinese) and that others arent getting the update due to not being sold in China. I’d assume that someone will find a way to opt-in early on said devices (maybe through their desktop update tool or changing regions) but I couldnt locate a nice list with dates and models for outside of China.

      The closest I’ve seen is this one:

        Thanks, looks like I will have to wait a while longer.

      Existing models before the Huawei ban won’t face any issues. They will still run android.

        Why do you think that the upgrade will cause issues?

          Not about the harmony OS but about android support on Huawei mobiles. I meant that people will still be able to use Android without any issues on existing huawei models.

            Afaik Harmony OS is just a fork of Android, not like they rewrote it from scratch (that would take a lot more time).

        Wait is it actually? That would probably make it the biggest co-op in the world.

          It’s not really disputed, and the article is just trying to throw shade. For example, this gem:

          Huawei’s ownership is a murky matter because the company has never, in more than three decades of existence, sold shares to the public.

          It’s like they don’t understand the concept of a cooperative? If a company sells public shares then it’s owned by share holders.

          Also, painting the fact that Huawei works with the government as being outlandish is also hilarious. Every US tech company works with US government and gets massive government subsidies.

          In fact, if the government exercises some control over the company that’s actually a very good thing.

        can we agree that monopolies are still a bad thing for consumers?

            they’re building an ecosystem, I assume it means something like apple’s ecosystem which is just a pretty prison. Huawei may implement it differently, but in genral it’s not a good sign when a company tries to do it. and things like not having an official method of unlocking the bootloader gives me the feeling that they’re not going to have an open ecosystem.

            now don’t get me wrong, the fact that they’re trying to distance themselves from google is a good thing, but if it means another colsed environment where it’s in company’s interest to imprison end users, then it is terrible.

              As far as I know HarmonyOS is based on AOSP, so I would actually expect the core technology to stay open. I’d like to see what they actually do with it before passing judgement.
