With every OTA release I have seen it breaks down something like this:
1) Google release source.
3) Manufacturer spends about 2-3 months adding skins and or drivers.
4) The Carriers screw with it for a month and find bugs and or add crapware. They send it back to the manufacturer.
5) Manufacture screws with it for a month or two and sends back to carrier.
6) Carrier adds more crapware or removes features and starts OTA rollout.
7) Several major bugs are found immediately by the users/developers and the carrier halts the roll out.
8) Carrier and manufacturer scramble and finally agree to work together and send out a patched version in about two - four weeks....
In the rooted comunity:
1) Google releases source.
2) Developers have a stable working rom in 1-2 weeks. (In many cases 2-3 days)
3) The Beta gets released and users immediately identify bugs.
4) Developers fix in a week or two. (In many cases 2-3 days)
5) Stable rooted Stock and custom ROMS hit the internet and the customer gets the up date about six months ahead of the official OTA update....
