I installed Android 4.3 on the Nexus and ... - Antyweb

information about the new version of Android yet reach the conference Google I / O before that there were rumors about new products prepared by Google. To everyone’s surprise nothing happened, and Android 4.3 comes to us probably only now, at the conference on July 24. I used the version that was leaked earlier to the network. What’s new in it found?

Android 4.3 is not any revolution and the changes you need to actually look with a magnifying glass in hand (or peeking under the proverbial hood). The system has not changed significantly compared to the previous edition, which actually is not surprising, considering the change in numbering. Real news surely we can expect only the release number 5, which also has a lot of rumors circulating.

According to what I wrote some time ago about version 4.3 dedicated to Samsung Galaxy S IV Google Edition, which also leaked to the network, the system has included mostly new versions of the camera and gallery. This is a big step forward that will help you adjust photo settings – especially when holding the phone in one hand.

After installing the system, which leaked yesterday, on your Nexus noticed a couple of interesting news. First of all, Google finally introduced auto-complete T9 dialer. As you type the number you want to appear underneath the suggested contacts that begin with the letters from the pressed digits. It works very well, and animations put forward contacts are pleasing to the eye. I suspect that many users long wyczekiwa?o this solution.

New Android also comes with Google Keep installed by default, which is the latest product of a giant – a notebook. At the same time it is version 1.0.81, when I find a store play edition with number 1.0.79. Unfortunately no big news did not notice. The system can also find Google Play version 4.2.3 which is the latest, released a few days ago actually.

Improvement lived to see a status bar. Now, hold your fingers on the selected notification can go to the information about the application of the alarm. Very practical solution to get rid of them cluttering device products. In addition to the advanced settings screen, WiFi appeared AutoPlay search the network to accurately and quickly determine the location. Not yet realized how much toll on the battery life (and reflected for sure).

Other news hidden under the hood. Android 4.3 supports OpenGL ES 3.0 and Bluetooth Smart. In addition, a support for AVRCP 1.3, the standard allows for wireless control of multimedia devices, such as audio and video. Other changes in the code, unfortunately I can not say, but certainly these are. Google had little to improve when it comes to software for the Nexus 4 (including Bluetooth annoying error).

system seems to work a little smoother, but I’m not objective in this regard, because the system had been overloaded with applications to the limit, so the difference is definitely noticeable. Do not show it but benchmarks. In AnTuTu score got even slightly worse than the average for that model.

If they intrigue you have any specific questions related to the operation of the new Android, feel free to discuss. I experimented with the system are likely throughout the day. But then I go back to CyanogenMod, which sooner or later will see its novelty introduced here (some of them, like the T9 dialer, already has). Overall, the changes should be evaluated on the plus side, though there are far less than we could have expected. Maybe Google is assuming that Android is so good that it is difficult to change or improve anything?
