Izvorni kod za Android 16 QPR1 napokon stiže na AOSP nakon višetjednog kašnjenja — što je novo, zašto je zadržan i kako ga sinkronizirati (12. studenog 2025.)

13 studenoga, 2025
Android 16 QPR1 source code finally lands on AOSP after weeks‑long delay — what’s new, why it was held back, and how to sync (Nov 12, 2025)
  • Google je objavio izvorni kod za Android 16 QPR1 na Android Open Source Project pod granom android16-qpr1-release. [1]
  • Objava dolazi otprilike dva mjeseca nakon što je QPR1 počeo stizati na Pixel uređaje, što je neuobičajeno dug period čekanja koji je frustrirao ROM projekte. [2]
  • Kod potvrđuje glavne QPR1 novitete poput Material 3 Expressive i kontinuirani rad na Desktop Mode—koji je sada u potpunosti dostupan za pregled programerima. [3]
  • Tajming se poklapa s studeni 2025 Pixel Feature Drop, što može objasniti razdoblje zadržavanja. [4]

Što se dogodilo danas

Google je objavio puni izvorni kod za Android 16 QPR1 na AOSP. Možete vidjeti službenu promjenu manifesta—“Update default revision to android16-qpr1-release—u repozitoriju platform/manifest, a ažurirani default.xml sada pokazuje na tu granu za android-latest-release. [5]

Objava se poklapa s brojnim izvještajima iz Android medija i developerske zajednice koji napominju da je QPR1 kod napokon javan nakon višesedmične stanke. [6]


Zašto je ova objava važna

Transparentnost i usporedba: S objavljenim izvorima, timovi mogu uspoređivati frameworks/base, SystemUI, WindowManager i Shell kako bi vidjeli svaku promjenu ponašanja od Android 16 GA i QPR1 izdanja. Ovo je ključno za rješavanje regresija, sortiranje problema s kompatibilnošću aplikacija i provjeru OEM integracija. [7]

Custom ROM-ovi: Glavni projekti poput LineageOS namjerno su odgađali QPR1 buildove jer nisu bili dostupni svi dijelovi. Današnja objava omogućuje rebaziranje i trebala bi ubrzati testne buildove za popularne uređaje. [8]

Provjera značajki: Izvor potvrđuje vizualnu obnovu pod Material 3 Expressive i kontinuirane radove na Desktop Mode koji su se pojavljivali kroz QPR1 bete—sada potpuno provjerljivo. [9]


Kašnjenje—što se promijenilo u ovom ciklusu?

Povijesno gledano, Google je objavljivao nove Android grane na AOSP-u nekoliko dana nakon stabilnog izdanja. S Androidom 16 QPR1, kod je stigao otprilike dva mjeseca nakon što su Pixeli dobili ažuriranje—što je iznimka koja je održavatelje ostavila na čekanju. [10]

Studeni 2025 Pixel Feature Drop stigao je jučer s novim AI‑potpomognutim značajkama; QPR1 izvor se pojavio odmah nakon toga. Taj redoslijed potaknuo je nagađanja da je Google želio izbjeći otkrivanje tragova neobjavljenih Feature Dropova u javnim repozitorijima. Google službeno nije dao tehničko obrazloženje, ali tajming ima smisla. [11]


Što se zapravo nalazi u Androidu 16 QPR1

  • Material 3 Expressive UI: Šira vizualna obnova koja obuhvaća Brze postavke, obavijesti i elemente zaključanog zaslona, sada preglediva do razine resursa i zastavica. [12]
  • Napredak Desktop Mode-a: Robusnija osnova za više prozora/više zaslona koju OEM-ovi i ROM-ovi mogu proučavati u WindowManager/Shell za poboljšanje ponašanja slobodnih prozora i trake zadataka. [13]
  • Poliranje ekosustava: Niz popravaka “ispod haube” tipičnih za QPR-ove koji ne podižu javne SDK razine, ali ipak utječu na servise, SELinux politiku, Soong pravila i APEX verzije—sada pratljivo po svakom commitu. [14]

Kako sinkronizirati Android 16 QPR1 iz AOSP-a

Google sada preporučuje praćenje android-latest-release, koji je postavljen na najnoviju izdanu granu—danas je to android16-qpr1-release. [15]

This is the Biggest Change to Android in Years!

  • The point-and-shoot is back: choose models with large sensors or true optical zoom to beat smartphones
    November 14, 2025, 3:06 PM EST. Point-and-shoots are resurging as photographers seek photos that outshine smartphones. The key is not just more megapixels, but a larger sensor and genuine optical zoom. A bigger sensor captures more light, improving image quality and yielding natural background blur, especially in low-light or indoor scenes. Phones lock you into tiny sensors, while one-inch sensors (as in Sony RX100 VI/VII and Canon G7X series) or APS-C sensors (like the Fujifilm X100VI or Ricoh GR IV) dramatically boost detail and dynamic range. Lenses with optical zoom expand reach without digital crop. Beyond specs, rugged or nostalgic models-like the OM System Tough TG-7 or Instax Mini Evo-show that durability and fun still matter. Choose a large sensor or real optical zoom to beat a smartphone.
  • How ChatGPT and Gemini Think: Inside the Black Box of AI Language Models
    November 14, 2025, 3:04 PM EST. Behind chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini lies a labyrinth of parameters and data, not a simple set of rules. These systems are powered by large language models that predict the next word, producing outputs that feel intelligent even when true understanding is elusive. Engineers barely trace which internal pathways generate a given answer, earning them the label of black boxes. Before speaking, models undergo data cleaning, human feedback and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to steer tone and safety-teaching acceptable behavior rather than genuine reasoning. The data itself is a mix of public sources and licensed material, posing data opacity and bias challenges. The result is synthetic cognition: impressive, fast probability gymnastics that mimic understanding but rarely imply true comprehension.
  • Google eases Android verification rules to keep sideloading alive with an advanced flow
    November 14, 2025, 3:02 PM EST. Google is rolling out an advanced flow for Android app verification that aims to curb scammers while keeping sideloading accessible for power users. After criticism, the company said new safeguards will let users download apps from unverified developers only through a flow designed to resist coercion and include clear warnings about risks. The plan still enforces developer verification next year, but early access is now open in the Android Developer Console for apps distributed outside the Play Store. Google is also introducing a dedicated account type for students and hobbyists to distribute to a limited device set without full verification. The flow isn't final, as Google continues to gather feedback and refine warnings and restrictions.
  • Tesla stock falls amid tech sell-off as Musk's $1T pay package boosts AI bets
    November 14, 2025, 3:00 PM EST. Tesla shares slid about 7% on Thursday as the broader tech sell-off dragged the stock lower, down roughly 10% since shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package. The move comes as analysts like Dan Ives of Wedbush remain bullish on Tesla's AI and autonomous ambitions, viewing the robotaxi push and the Optimus humanoid robots as the core long-term story. Ives has an Outperform rating and a $600 target, arguing Musk and Tesla will shape much of the autonomous landscape in coming years. Tesla is testing robotaxi service in Austin and the Bay Area, with plans to expand to more cities and to scale up Optimus production. Investors will watch how the AI strategy translates into deliveries and margins.
  • Disney+ Plans Game-Like Features Fueled by AI, Says Bob Iger
    November 14, 2025, 2:58 PM EST. Disney+ chief Bob Iger says AI and Disney's Epic Games stake will drive game-like features and richer UGC on the platform, linking streaming with other Disney assets. The plan positions Disney+ as a portal to all things Disney, spanning commerce, theme parks, hotels and cruises. Iger outlined three AI prongs-streaming tech, content post-production, and parks operations-and stressed opportunities to compete with Netflix through more interactive experiences. The move follows Disney's Pocket.watch deal for UGC and comes as the company reports mixed results while pursuing broader streaming carriage talks with YouTube TV.
