What are the odds we will see 4.5 on the volt?

Pretty much topic

There is no 4.5, the versions went from 4.4.4 to 5.0

kwknott · Jan 25, 2015

Lollipop was originally called Android L during development and was version 4.5. Once it was finished and officially named Lollipop is was numbered version 5.0

So basically, 4.5 exists, but was never actually released.

kwknott · Jan 25, 2015

Technically its one in the same. Google just changed their mind on naming and version number.

bg4m3r · Jan 25, 2015

I would argue that point slightly. Software usually has a codename and development version that aren't used for the official release. They never intended on it being called Android L or being version 4.5. Lollipop is a whole new iteration of Android. It would be weird to call it anything but v5, and all Android releases have had candy/desert names. No reason to break that pattern now.

So then the next upgrade for our phones, if we were to get it, would be L? And that has a totally different ui, doesn't it?

kwknott · Jan 25, 2015

L IS Lollipop. So if we get an upgrade it would be Lollipop.

there is developement going on cm12 aka lollipop

bg4m3r · Jan 25, 2015

L was just the development codename for Lollipop.

chucksaysblah · Jan 25, 2015

L was the dev name lollipop was the final release name.

CM12 is the newest cryanogen mod, right? I'm a little unclear on this. Is it just a custom Rom, or a whole new OS?

kwknott · Jan 25, 2015

CyanogenMod is based off of AOSP which is the official Android. So when a new version of Android is release, CyanogenMod will be rebuilt using the new version as a base. So for every new version of Android you get a new version of CyanogenMod.

CM12 = Lollipop 5.0
CM11 = KitKat 4.4.X
CM10 = Jellybean 4.1.X
CM9 = IceCream Sandwich 4.0.x
And on and on

Thank you for the explanation! So then is there a workable cm12 for the volt already, or is it a work in progress?
