Agitate the phone ring? Xiaomi VS Thunderbolt OS
Agitate the phone ring? Xiaomi VS Thunderbolt OS

This weekend is doomed to be another restless weekend. Later on the 8th, Xiaomi's announcement pushed a little-known "Thunder OS" to the forefront of the storm. Try to figure out the reason slowly.


At the beginning, Xiaomi announced that 360 software was taken off the shelves of its app store because Xiaomi believed that 360 maliciously tricked the user into installing a program called "Thunderbolt OS" and silently executed the root machine brushing behavior without the user's knowledge. In addition, the OS will also tamper with the MIUI system signature and implant unofficial system applications, resulting in the inability of the Xiaomi mobile phone to upgrade to the latest version of the MIUI system, steal traffic, or even crash the mobile phone system and fail to start normally.


Thunderbolt OS then released a statement through the official microblog, which responded to an online rumor that "Xiaomi mobile phone stole traffic, which is suspected to be caused by Thunderbolt OS", saying that Thunderbolt OS will not lead to Xiaomi mobile phone stealing traffic, but can help Xiaomi mobile phone save power and flow, and improve the overall performance of the mobile phone. Thunderbolt OS does not have any malicious induction installation behavior, and all installation steps need to be manually confirmed by the user. In the process of recommending users, Thunderbolt OS clearly informed users that this is an OS. It is a general rule in the industry for users to choose a third-party system to brush the machine. Xiaomi's groundless accusation is a double standard.

So far as things are concerned, I believe you have already seen it. Is Thunderbolt OS really Xiaomi's "hooligan" or something else? The author found some clues through his powerful search ability.


After netizens who are willing to "dedicate" themselves used Xiaomi mobile phones to brush into Thunderbolt OS, they found that this OS did not change the bottom layer of the system. Except for the desktop and several embedded applications, it is the original MIUI system.


So, what has Lightning OS changed?

  • The boot screen has been modified.

  • The recovery is refreshed, and users are forbidden to use it to prevent users from flushing back to the official system.

  • Preset 360 security guard castration version, app store, browser.

  • Disable the original browser, app store, and system upgrade, so that users can never upgrade.

  • The Thunderbolt Desktop is preset and cannot be modified to the original desktop or a third-party desktop. The Thunderbolt Desktop will be restarted a few seconds after the modification.

  • Modify the original system signature. The change to Google's test signature has caused various problems in the system application of the original mobile phone.


When you see this, you may ask, what is the reason why many people feel that their mobile phones are faster?


In fact, the principle is very simple. Thunderbolt OS first disables most applications of the system, including browsers, system upgrades, and application stores. This is why you cannot upgrade after installing Lightning.


It can be seen that Thunderbolt OS just preset the application, modified the desktop, and controlled the user's mobile phone, making it difficult for the user to easily switch back to the original system. In addition, the system signature is modified. Lightning signature is modified to Google's test signature.


Finally, let's take a look at the great "Du Niang"'s evaluation of it.

From this, we can see that Thunderbolt OS just preset the application, modified the desktop, and controlled the user's mobile phone, making it difficult for the user to easily switch back to the "rogue" of the original system.


The function of automatically grabbing red packets is also publicly displayed on the homepage of its official website. It is recommended that users who install this OS should not bind bank cards on their personal mobile phones.


Of course, about Xiaomi's mobile phone stealing traffic, I will slowly pick it up in a few days.
