Title: Android 5.0 Lollipop is on the way
Post by: logocreator on October 31, 2014, 02:10:06 PM
I was watching some videos that has already installed developer version of Android 5.0.

There is some improvements, but there is also things that i do not like, mostly the white menu background, i am not sure that can be changed.
However android is developing really hard.

btw there is some new "INBOX" application from google, i installed but it is not working, it ask for some kind of invitation from google, i send email for invitation, but the got a reply.

They replaced Dalvik with ART http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Runtime though it's backwards compatible so your old apps will still work, well, any non root apps. One major issue is with ART it's easier for manufacturers to lock down a device with SEAndroid and prevent writing to /system (rooting) or to block apps from using SuperSU. Obviously you get around this by building your own platform and SELinux policy from Android or Cyanogenmod source, or installing a prebuilt ROM but now it's becoming a requirement to buy phones who's bootloaders can be unlocked (Nexus, Motorola G, ect) because very soon all new phones coming out will be extremely difficult to flash with new software.

A lot of new APIs, improved voice recognition ans a face lifted UI as I see.

It should be available soon for the Nexus 4. But if you're really impatient, I'm sure you will find a port on XDA...

Nope, no OTA yet. Actually you just reminded me I should wait for somebody to root 5.0 before I install it.

Can't wait to try Inbox. It sounds like Google+ (news feed..) but with email. I have not had the chance to test it yet, so I may be wrong.

Use phone for WiFi tether. I've only updated the firmware once (ICS to KK) and it left me without Internet service for two days because I couldn't find the right CWM package (Samsung-Sprint phones are a bitch, it seems). :-X I actually found an app just to disable the OTA update nagging. Maybe I'll upgrade from KitKat in a couple years once uhhh... HeathBar or whatever is out.
