The folks at the OTA Update Center have worked out the supporting
infrastructure and methods to offer a free OTA service to any ROM
developer, so that hackers and modders can enjoy that fuzzy feeling an
update brings as well. An app will be installed into the system that communicates with the
servers to pass out OTA updates to anyone using the ROM. For the
end-user, it's a simple and impressive way to keep the OS on your phone
up-to-date.
The real difference here is to the developers. They no longer need to
host files or insert framework for an FOTA system into their ROM, and
instead can use the supplied tool with a few edits. This will get
everything up and running with minimum of extra code, and provide a
sort of standard that all developers can follow. We like standards.
Developers like standards. Users like things that "just work", and
standards allow that to happen easier. Devs can goto OTA Update Center .
