Huawei backup operating system aurora Aurora OS exposure: based on swordfish OS compatible with Android

At present, the claim of "Hongmeng / Ark OS" has not been officially confirmed by Huawei. On the 10th, a report from Russian media revealed for the first time that Huawei's Android "backup" operating system was not built from scratch, but based on previous achievements.

The report quoted two sources as saying that Huawei executives had discussed the use of Aurora (aurora) OS with Russia.

Aurora OS is a mobile operating system developed in Russia, based on open source Sailfish OS (swordfish), which can be understood as a branch of swordfish OS. Because of its privacy and security, OS has been recommended by the Russian government and government background enterprises.

As for the swordfish OS, it is based on Linux and Nokia MeeGo platform, and the development team members are mainly from Nokia before moving to Microsoft, later known as Jolla.

Huawei has begun testing Aurora OS on the device, the report said.

Based on this news, it is impossible to judge the relationship between Aurora OS and Hongmeng / Ark. Is this Huawei's Plan C? Interestingly, there are two blog posts on Jolla's official website about CEO Sami Pienim ä ki generously talking about the opportunity for swordfish OS after Huawei's limited use of Android.

In addition, Jolla has worked with Sony to build a customized Sailfish X system for Xperia phones, and has even released a ROM package that adapts to some models (such as Xperia X) to experience brushing, and is compatible with Android APP.
