OEM
CustomizaSons
• Every
OEM
has
‘differenPated’
their
devices
• This
causes
issues
for
app
&
game
developers
– Drivers,
middleware,
UI
skins/launchers
• Things
get
even
complex
when
OEMs
update
their
devices
with
newer
Android
versions
• Dependences
to
pre-­‐installed
apps
(some
OEMs
add,
some
not)
