Those regexes are looking like device fragments, rather than OS fragments. Do those devices not allow updating the OS, are they really fixed to one specific version? 🤔

No idea, I never had one of those. I linked versions based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartisan

Hm. Looks like they have listed the latest compatible versions, so it might not be the initial version the device was shipped with. Not sure if that would be detectable taking the reported android version into account 🤔
As Smartisan is a custom android rom I'm also wondering if it can be installed on other devices or if those smartisan devices allow installing other android roms...

I mean, theoretically all of custom ROMs can be installed on all devices, the question is how difficult it is to do. And whether it matters much for our purposes, I guess. Yes, this does not mean the library can accurately detect OS for these devices, and it won't detect this OS for other devices (yet), but that's arguably true for other niche items as well.

Sure. That might be a more general decision I guess. We currently haven't maintained any OS based on device fragments. @liviuconcioiu @sanchezzzhak What is your opinion on that?

I think is best to only detect OS name in this case, since devices allow upgrades.

so should I remove versions from everywhere?

Smartisan OS is a custom shell (user interface) developed by Smartisan Technology (founded by Luo Yonghao), which is layered on top of the Android operating system. Smartisan OS is not a separate OS, but a heavily customized Android shell, similar to MIUI, EMUI or ColorOS.

If we plan to add Smartisan OS, I would change the structure of the versions section to mapping
Example:
- regex: 'Smartisan[_ ]|(SM(?:70[15]|801|919)|YQ60[1357]|DT2002C|DE106|DT190[12]A|O[CE]106|OC105)[ /;\)]'
name: 'Smartisan OS'
versions:
- regex: 'Android 4.2'
version: '1'
- regex: 'Android 10'
version: '7.2'The only thing we've added to the OS by model is FireOS.

I know that it's not a separate OS, but to me it looks like all Android "skins" are still considered "ROMs", which implies that they are different versions of the OS, similar to how different Linux distros are different versions of Linux (even if we forget that Android is one, too). Otherwise these would be launchers. The scope of changes may be small, I agree, but still.
So question is more broad: should custom ROMs be treated as separate OSs or not, thus implying that information for other devices may need updating as well? IMHO - yes, but do not enforce it because of difficulty of detection and maintenance. If it is known that a certain device (or a set of devices) had a certain version of the OS with relative "uniqueness" - add it to the library. If not - identify it as generic Android.
For Smartisan OS specifically, I think it would mean that we use regex to match both model and Android version where possible, and match only Android version where it's a 1-to-1 match (so most likely oldest versions and maybe the latest one).
If that's fine I can update this PR, and can try to do a separate PR for ROMs from the list above and from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_custom_Android_distributions (where possible, and not too time-consuming).
