Chapter 75 Still Playing Games
Wang Tao opened the message, which was from an ID called "Big Mouth Yu".
This user has been very active recently, posting a lot of technical insights and update methods on the forum, especially demonstrating a deep understanding of mobile operating systems.
He knew even more details than he did.
"Moderator, I have a beta version of a mobile operating system here, heavily customized based on Android, but with significantly improved smoothness. Interested in trying it out?"
Wang Tao gave a disdainful laugh.
He had seen many similar "unofficial optimization systems," most of which simply removed some apps from the stock Android and changed the theme, with limited improvement in actual user experience.
But he did become somewhat interested in it because it was a bit smoother.
"What operating system? Do you have a ROM?"
"Emui, our team's own system. I've sent the ROM to your email."
Currently, the compatible models are HTC G1 and Samsung i7500.
team?
Could this be a mobile phone company? Wang Tao's interest was instantly piqued. This was a legitimate company; their system should be a bit better than those amateur gurus, right?
Out of curiosity, Wang Tao downloaded the flashing package.
Following the previous steps, back up the data, unlock the bootloader, and flash the firmware...
Half an hour later, his HTC G1 started to restart.
The boot animation is not the native Android robot, but a simple sketch of a mountain peak and a chrysanthemum logo, with the artistic text "Taishan EM UI beta version" below.
The computer booted up in just 45 seconds, an absurd speed that immediately made Wang Tao's eyes widen.
You should know that it used to take him at least a minute to boot up his computer, but now it's 15 seconds faster.
This is just a system update.
Even more surprisingly, Wang Tao was stunned after entering the system.
The interface is simple, without any cluttered pre-installed apps. The icons follow a consistent rounded matrix style, with bright colors that are not overly flashy.
He swiped the home screen. Smooth, incredibly smooth.
The responsiveness was comparable to that of an iPhone, which made him doubt his own eyes.
"This is really based on Android," Wang Tao muttered to himself.
But his past experience told him that this system was definitely not that simple, after all, he had lost the most classic Android mini-bot and the lag of Android...
He quickly opened Settings and found About phone.
系统版本:泰山os1.5（EmuiBeta版）内核版本:Linux3.0.8（修改）。编译日期:2009年8月28日。
This kernel can indeed be called the Android underlying layer, but it doesn't seem to be Android itself.
Wang Tao began testing. He opened the browser, and the page loading speed was significantly faster than on native Android, with slightly higher search accuracy.
Opening the camera reveals improvements in focusing speed and other aspects.
The most impressive feature is multitasking; in the past, opening three apps would make my phone incredibly slow.
But now, he opened at least five. He checked the backend and found there were six.
However, the switching was still smooth and there was no lag.
That feeling of needing to poop completely disappeared.
"This scheduling optimization... it doesn't actually involve changing the underlying Android system, does it?" Wang Tao studied communications and knew a bit about systems.
After casually swiping a few times, coupled with that absurd boot time... he immediately realized: "Could this really be a new system based on Linux?"
Once he had this thought, it wouldn't leave him, and his excitement compelled him to experience it again quickly.
After in-depth testing, it was found that Android still has some of its flaws, but at least it has undergone in-depth optimization in memory management and process scheduling.
But the surprises didn't end there.
He quickly spotted two game icons in the app list: Fruit Ninja and Plants vs. Zombies.
"This game..."
Wang Tao recalled that Fruit Ninja was a Transmedia exclusive, while Plants vs. Zombies was still in closed beta, and the mobile version was said to be released first on iOS.
but now……
However, he didn't care about that and immediately opened Fruit Ninja.
The game starts, and the interface is exactly the same as the Transsion S1 in Africa.
He tried swiping the screen; it was smooth.
However, it didn't have the dazzling special effects that were rumored online for the S1, but the response speed was still acceptable. It's estimated that it hasn't been officially adapted by HTC yet.
After playing for more than an hour, he finally remembered the main topic.
This was a new system recommended to him by a fellow forum member, so he immediately got to work.
[Shocking! After flashing TaiShan OS, my HTC G1 instantly became an iPhone]
"Brothers, I just flashed the Taishan OS beta version given to me by a fellow forum member. Its smoothness surpasses all Android custom systems and is even comparable to iOS."
Most importantly, it also includes mobile versions of Fruit Ninja and Plants vs. Zombies, with smooth operation and excellent graphics.
More importantly, this doesn't seem to be Android, but all APKs can be installed.
The post quickly attracted a lot of replies from forum members.
"OP is bragging. It's still Android? What era are we living in? There are still idiots making their own operating systems."
"Upstairs, are you talking about Nokia? [doge emoji]"
"Requesting a flashing ROM."
"I flashed it, and it's definitely very smooth. Plus, my storage capacity increased by 200MB after the flash?"
Wang Tao replied: "Because they seem to have modified some of the underlying files, and there might be some changes to the storage as well. I didn't notice it just now. Can any expert check it out?"
"Is Fruit Ninja really playable? I remember a lot of people shared the videos before, but it seems like it's not yet compatible with Android phones."
Wang Tao wrote a very detailed flashing tutorial in the post and uploaded the flashing package (he obtained Da Zui Yu's consent beforehand).
Overnight, this ROM flashing package went viral on major digital forums.
The next day, Wang Tao's post had received more than 3000 replies.
This means that at least 3000 people have experienced the domestic version of TaiShan OS.
"It smells amazing, it feels like my Samsung i7500 has been given a new lease on life."
"The system optimization is really good; the experience is truly different with the same hardware. And this is just a video; I wonder how powerful their new phone will be?"
"Who exactly is this development company? Some of the information I found says it's Transsion, others say it's Huawei..."
Not long after, TaiShan OS became a huge hit on major digital forums.
Taishan Emui beta version downloads have exceeded 2 and are still rising.
Meanwhile, new analytical documents have also appeared on other forums. Some people have carefully compared TaiShan OS, HTC, and Samsung's systems, and the result is undoubtedly that TaiShan OS is superior.
Someone posted a message that was absolutely explosive: "This system was developed by Transsion."
"What brand is Transsion? It seems familiar."
"Oh, I remember now, Xiaobai seems to have tested their knock-off phones before..."
"Are phone manufacturers really this powerful these days? Even a knock-off manufacturer is this powerful. [doge emoji]"
"Not everyone upstairs is that awesome."
But they definitely deserve the title of "transmitting messages," because they are definitely playing a big game.
"If you said that last year, no one would say anything, but now they're the overlord of Africa..."
