We waited only the release of source code in order to definitively welcome to Android Jelly Bean. In a few days will begin on Roll Out the Nexus range that will see the first new Android distribution. Then comes the turn of the community that is already working to update the device with the highest number of Cyanogen and AOKP Team in the lead, followed by Team MIUI. So will be the turn of the producers that will update some of the devices to the latest version. It will take time, both unofficial ROMs to see fully functional, is to see the first update from the houses. In light of this, what are the terminals that will see the Android update officially Jelly bean?

 

Pending official data, however, we can begin to make an initial count of those present. The list is obviously a work in progress and will be gradually updated with official information from producers with dates and more precise. In theory, all devices that support ICS Jelly Bean but it will be like?

These are the main products and the odds of being updated. The most likely have updates more or less certain that, in the absence of official communications, can only be imagined. Difficult, however, think that these products are upgraded, there would be no real excuse. The devices are likely to support the full Jelly Bean, but that due to personalization, price ranges and corporate policies could be set aside. I of course have remained difficult to think with Android 4.1.

Remains the resource of the community that will support a huge number of devices that do not officially pass to Android Jelly Bean!

Your device in that situation is?

CyanogemMod 10 Official: first we will focus CM9 Stable and Jelly Bean!

It 'official: Jelly Bean will arrive in the project and will be implemented in version CyanogenMod CyanogenMod 10. If the news is good on the one hand, the other will still take a long time before you actually see the first of the nightly CyanogenMod 10. The team has made ​​it clear that it will be completed first draft ICS which reduced the current stage of Stable release and concluding the work on smartphones supported.

 

The time needed to refine the CyanogenMod 9 will also release the source AOSP Jelly Bean that day, however, are expected to arrive, however, and therefore the first stable release of the CM9.

Once everything is ready, work will begin to optimize Android 4.1 to make it perfect in Cyanogen rom. The team is optimistic, however, and the work done with ICS will be very important for the development of Jelly Bean. In particular, the time is much faster than switching from Gingerbread to ICS and a stable CyanogenMod 10 could arrive within a few months after the official release of Jelly Bean.

Good news for supported devices. Although there can be no certainty yet, smartphones and Tablet which can now boast the CM9, also have an excellent chance to see the version 10 based on Jelly Bean.

The team was satisfied with the changes introduced by Google and will work on the launcher, and release all the optimizations that we see today on CM9 in the new version. So still no date, but no certainty to CyanogenMod 10 will soon be official. But first we wait for the CM9 Stable.

Jelly Bean Easter Egg hides the next version of Android Kandy Kane?

As with every version of Android, by going into settings and clicking repeatedly on the version number, you receive a nice Easter egg. Nothing new and we have already seen the animation of Jelly Bean. Among the many candies that float on the screen, however, an intruder was spotted. In practice this is the candy cane you see in the image and gave rise to immediate speculation. Google does not leave anything to chance, although there is no certainty, it is very likely that this image represents a different distribution of the next Android. What will be? Android 4.2 (or 5.0) Kandy Kane!  Obviously it will release the name at the moment can be considered realistic, especially because Kandy is a corruption of Candy and then a strained right now, but considering that Google is in alphabetical order, the K is the next letter and math is not an opinion, 1 +1 = 2.

 

Update: another hypothesis is that the candy cane does not indicate the name, but the exit period around Christmas because it is an American classic Christmas decoration. Speculation of course and many fantasies.

Hugo Barra: We have the speech more accurate, precise and colloquial in the world!

WIRED interviewed Hugo Barra, Android's director of product management, after submitting the Google I / O and the news being announced in Android world.  In the interview, explains why Google Toolbar now has the world's most advanced voice system, with the best speech, best conversational voice and the best answer possible.

 

Google has worked hard to improve its Voice Search, a name that is always present in Android, and has remained so even with the latest new features, and much attention has focused on the speed of data exchange and voice quality.

Finding a person with the perfect voice for this purpose has not been easy. We have entrusted to an independent casting and the selection of candidates selected after 10, we started testing to see which entry better respond to our needs. We went from 10 to 2 and then we chose the female voice you hear today. Many companies today rely on  Nuance and Microsoft or others for speech synthesis, but we wanted to offer an internal system over our competitors.

The intention has always been to create a system able to talk, meet and interact in conversational mode with the user.  I think the result is clear and we have created the world's first high-quality voice, sounding natural, conversational , and a pleasant voice that soon it will be all over the world.

 Hugo Barra

Asked who was the star of Hugo's voice answers:

I actually do not know his name.  In fact, nobody knows his name. It 'a secret.

Barra has also explained the reason for which Google Voice Search does not want to compare to other competitors or Siri clarifying that " Google is not your mama " :

Google is a neutral party, not your friend, secretary or a sister.  not your mother.  It's not your girlfriend or your boyfriend. Google is an entity that gathers information and creates systems to improve the tools available today .  The world calls for novelty and investments and we respond to the question, no matter who the sender of the request.  It 's very important for this reason that this entity (Google) remains impartial, and any comparisons, irony or allusions would not be suitable for continued policy of impartiality.

Hugo also mentions the Nexus 10 and, when asked if in future you will see these devices, says that when the Nexus 7 is the primary focus but that could be considered a solution for a 10-inch in the future expansion of supply. Finally, Hugo states that the new Google Voice will not in contrast with S-Voice or vocal systems present in Android, but it will be a part of the system that can be exploited and used by different manufacturers or even eliminated or replaced with proprietary solutions.  FullInterview

Platform Developers Kit (PDK): the solution to eliminate the fragmentation Android

For Android there was no effect of "butter" the softness of the UI and texture of mature and stable ecosystem. Jelly Bean With all this seems to have arrived. For Android lacked the assistant voice and advanced voice features. With all Android 4.1 has arrived even if only in English. What is still missing in Android? An update system that allows all producers to shorten development time significantly. In this regard, during the Google I / O was presented the  Platform Development Kit (PDK) , a system that will enable OEMs to have the new distribution system 3 months before the announcement.

 

This is basically the equivalent SDK for developers but for manufacturers who can thus begin compatibility testing up to three months before the release of the new distribution and thus shorten the time for the propagation of the update and certification of updates.

An important step in reducing the fragmentation in the short term and a system that appears to be effective. Unfortunately, we know how the manufacturer uses months to update the device to the latest versions and ICS is an example because at 7 months of the submission is about 7% of the devices that have seen the update (and among these we find also the Nexus).

The  Platform Developers Kit (PDK)  is therefore proposed as the "solution" to fragmentation. Of course alone will not be effective and the houses will have to commit themselves to test and updates in a timely fashion.

When all this will be a reality?

The PDK Jelly Bean was sent to OEMs only 1 month before the official presentation of Jelly Bean and thus do not have particular benefits with this distribution. Obviously, for producers who have already released the ICS will be easier to move to JB but the commitment and the necessary work will still be high.

The  Platform Developers Kit (PDK) , therefore could "come up" the next version of Android, a hypothetical 5.0, which could come in 2013. In this case the producers might receive KDP 3 months before the announcement and begin work on the development and porting of their interfaces and drivers to make it compatible with your hardware renewed their device. 3 months, however, will not be sufficient to release any update, but waiting 2/3 months of the announcement official, so bring your development time in 6 months, could be a longer than acceptable to users.

We hope that this will mean an end to the fragmentation of Android.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean says goodbye to Adobe Flash Player

Last year, Adobe announced that the development of Flash Player for Android would be terminated within the platform supporting the plugin only for bug fixes and stability. This year the situation will probably quit forever with the arrival of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and the tablet Nexus 7 , Adobe has officially confirmed that there will be no version of Flash Player for Android and the confirmation comes just from the first hands on the tablet that just does not integrate it into the operating system.

 

In addition, Adobe also announced that the component would withdraw completely from the Play Store from next August 15 , this means that you can not install it to find it through the usual window of available applications within the Google store, while for those who continue to have on your device, the company does know that it will continue to issue updates even after the closing date of stay in the Play Store.

This move to some extent unexpected is the direct consequence of the non-compatibility of the last distribution Android, Adobe would therefore urge users to uninstall it before upgrading to Android 4.1, since Flash Player will not work properly and will not be supported at the level of upgrades safety. It then closes the era of Flash Player for mobile devices, hailed the arrival of the good old distribution  Froyo 2.2 and praised as the key point lead over Apple, now betrayed by his own partner first with Chrome and now permanently from the central system. The times seem finished the Flash and the Web seems to be adapting to the language HTML5.

Needless to say that Apple has been instrumental in bringing this change in favor of standard HTML5 which has since gained experience and maturity with developers and webmasters who increasingly are adapting to the new standard.  by

HTC One X with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is shown on video!

After having early in the morning the availability of the first custom ROM for HTC One X-based operatingsystem Android 4.1 Jelly Bean , we show the first video that shows her in action on the flagship Android device from HTC. As already noted, the work to get a fully functional port is still long, but you can already begin to imagine what the end result.

 

Without further delay we leave you to the video ROM with Android 4.1 on HTC One X Jelly Bean after the break.

After a fast start not exactly the new UI starts to take its first steps at HTC One X. The operation of important features of the device as a WiFi interface is also to improve, but the project continues and we are confident that will not be long to cut further goals. Please note in this circumstance the official topic dedicated to the development of ROM.  by

Google Voice Search: The answer to Siri and S-voice integrated in Jelly Bean

If Apple has focused heavily on its voice recognition system called Siri and Samsung has responded with a voice of Galaxy S-S3, Google surprised introducing among the many innovations of Jelly Bean improved and revised version of voice search, which is called Voice Search . Viewed from the first image and after the opinions of the heat seems like a less waiting features that most impressed those present.

Although this first version will be available only in English (but a planned future upgrade to other languages) it seems that the improvement of speech is very good, giving a voice very natural and less robotic than both S-voice that Siri. Consider, however, with the tongs hot PRMI opinions if we consider that the demonstration of Voice-search lasted a couple of minutes.

Voice Search.

Rather Sometimes you'd just speak your search query. Or just ask a question. Android lets you search the web with your voice, and it's convenient for getting quick answers on the fly. It speaks back to you and is powered by the Knowledge Graph, Bringing you a precise answer if it knows it, and PRECISELY ranked search results, so you can always find out more.

The news is mainly from the graphic that will accompany our targeted search of information, designed to be simple, intuitive but powerful because in addition to displaying the results complete with pictures and links to sources will be accompanied by vocal response from the terminal. Google called the GUI supplied with the vocal response " Knowledge Graph . "

The news is then in a voice system evolved and improved performance in speech recognition and synthesis, together with Knowledge Graph will intervene in specific research offering the desired information quickly and accompanied by links to further investigate.

We just have to wait to try Jelly Bean officially Voice Search and Knowledge Graph. Dates are obviously not been disclosed on a possible European update with new languages, so we have to wait a bit to try the new feature voice of Jelly Bean.

New Play Store arriving with Jelly Bean (for ICS)?

The friend Rasty + + has reported an image of a particular Galaxy S3 showing a brand new Play Store, completely changed in appearance and with all active services. Although we can not be certain that the image is official, it would seem that Google is ready to release a new update for the graphics Play Store on Android. Jelly Bean's arrival could also bring this new fact, that as in previous updates, it will be backwards compatible with ICS and probably with Gingerbread.

 

Looking at the picture we see a division into different categories with "What's Hot" in some programs in evidence and a list of apps to follow. New colors show the app installed (in green) and those to be installed (in orange).

Extremely interesting also the division into tab at the bottom. Indeed, we have:

• Movies
• Music
• Android (which probably refers to the apps)
• Books
• A purple rectangle that could be anything but that, by combining recent rumors, it might be the Magazines tab.

This new aesthetic could debut officially at the upcoming Google I / O and must be submitted together with Android 4.1. Furthermore, the division shown may anticipate the arrival of all Google services in markets that currently have only seen some of the resources available. The wait is getting more interesting!
