I-Android isivele inayo izinyathelo zokuphepha ekuqaleni zedivayisi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi awekho ama-rootkits nezinye izinhlobo ze-malware eyimfihlo. Kusukela i-KitKat, i-Android ibisebenza kanjena, okusho ukuphepha okuncane kumsebenzisi futhi ngaleyo ndlela igweme lezo zinkinga ezingake zivele ngesoftware enobungozi.
Yini engenzanga mzamo omkhulu wokuthuthuka maqondana nalokhu ku-Android 7.0 Nougat. Kule nguqulo entsha enkulu ye-Android, i-OS phoqelela isheke lebhuthi noma qala, ngisho ukweluleka ngendlela engcono ukuze umsebenzisi azi okufanele akwenze. Ukube beyikhona ukuthi iNougat ithola ukuthi kunesithombe sebhuthi esonakele noma ukwahlukanisa, i-Android izoqala, kepha ngaphansi kwemodi yokusetshenziswa elinganiselwe ngaphansi kwemvume yomsebenzisi noma ingaqali nokuqala.
Lesi sici esikhulu sokuphepha sizovela kuqala kumadivayisi aqaliswe ngeNougat, ngakho-ke ama-HTC Nexus amabili zimiswe njengalabo abazobona lo msebenzi okhethekile kuqala.
Kokunye konke, lesi sici sizoba usizo olukhulu ngokuvimbela idivayisi yakho ukuthi ingabi yifayela le- itafula lomdlalo lazo zonke izinhlobo zesoftware enonya, okungenani selokhu i-terminal iqala. Inkinga enkulu ngalesi silinganiso ukuthi onjiniyela abavela eceleni bazokuthola kunzima ukwenza izinguquko nge-firmware yangokwezifiso noma amaROM. I-Google isho ukuthi noma iyiphi idivayisi ene-bootloader ekhiyiwe izosebenzisa lokhu okungeziwe ukuhlola ukulungiswa.
Ngakho-ke kuzoba nzima kakhulu ukuthi ama-modders afinyelele ukuthinta okuthile lokho kusiza ukuthuthukisa lawo ma-ROM. Noma kunjalo, kuzofanele silinde ukuthi uNougat akhishwe ukuze sibone ukuthi lingakanani iqiniso elikuyo. Enye yalezo zinto ezintsha ezivela koku-5 kwangaphambilini konjiniyela abathanda lokhu kusuka izolo.
