Google is preparing to upgrade the kernel version of all Tensor-powered Pixels to Linux 6.1 in Android 15 QPR2.

Greg Kroah-Hartman, a Linux kernel developer, has posted a blog explaining the decision to excise Google's Android code from the kernel.

After two years of development, Google today released Android Studio 1.0, the first stable version of its Integrated Development Environment (IDE) aimed at Android developers.

Although Android already has a sandboxed Linux terminal available, this Google model will be geared toward developers.

Google has made ADB and fastboot available as a standalone package, meaning users no longer need to download them with Android Studio or the Android SDK.

Google released the first public version of the Extension SDK, which aims to bring features of the latest Android version to older versions.
