May 20th, 2012 No comments

Thank the interest of network delivery
Through two sets the App on the Galaxy Nexus one, making full use of GN 720p high score screen, into a compact Tablet GN. Google’s three sons of Galaxy Nexus,720p high resolution, and regular mobile phones is in default settings, following the action to do, mainly for some love toss, eye of good friends.

Look at the end result:

Desktop:

Cross-screen desktop:

Settings page:

Application cross-screen interface:

galaxy nexus tablet mode screenshot : App

Start:

After the ROOT, only requires two software:LCD Density Modder and Apex Launcher:Google Play, free of charge. About restart 2 times.

Steps are as follows:

Galxy Nexus 1, liberation of 720p high score screen advantage:

Install the LCD Density Modder, startup, set the resolution, after the restart to take effect.

Values are as follows:

320dpi, this is the Galaxy Nexus default value;

Recommendations can be set to 240dpi or 241dpi (241dpi is the deformation may occur because some desktop widgets in the 240dpi), usually have enough;

Screenshot of this article is the set of 200dpi, may also be partial;

At this point the screen has enough space, but too many obvious white around the desktop, they started to do next;

2, fill the frame such as extended desktop, Galaxy Nexus really started to Tablet mode Tablet Mode:

Download Apex Launcher, a fantastic free Launcher, function is not lost on Nova Launcher.

After the installation, set to the default Launcher, entered under its software interface “desktop settings” section of the “vertical-screen grid” and “cross-screen grid” on-demand is set to “7×7″ or “7×6″ (in the case of 240dpi, proposed as 7×6; if smaller, proposed for 7×7).

Specifically , due to permissions Apex Launcher not installed as system software, you cannot directly in the “widgets” drag the parts to your desktop, you need to manually move the apex in the data/app directory to the system/app directory.

You’re done, allowed further adjusting itself to the set. Tried it now remains in the 200dpi, but 210dpi might be more appropriate, under the 210dpi, even though I have large hands, buttons are not wrong.

240dpi should suit most of the power is the most critical point, however small, and free up enough space.

3, connect the mouse to the keyboard, easy feeling for temporary PC alternatives:

Finally, because the Galaxy has the support of the Nexus itself OTG (On-The-Go), so as long as a OTG cable (that is, a cell phone, is a USB connector), plug in receiver of wireless key mouse, you can fully experience the thrill of normal mouse + keyboard input.

GN after receiving the keys on rat mouse (mouse left and downwards “Jinshan phone guardian” widget displays “available memory” in the white box to the right):

galaxy nexus tablet mode screenshot : Mouse & Keyboard

Should all the input method, after you connect external keyboard automatically from a conventional analog keyboards or the handwriting mode, automatically reduce to an external keyboard input mode, similar effects on the PC, what English input method interface without direct transmission, Chinese input only two rows, row displays pinyin, line displays the characters that match.

Is important to note, we are already familiar with switch mode, on the Android, how changing English in small adjustments are as follows:

From the PC’s CTRL + space, becomes:shift + space.

In addition, few places to wheel action on the PC, may be wheel on the GN is not valid, but by holding down the left mouse button drag the way of realization.

In General, the higher accuracy of the mouse, can directly manipulate Galaxy Nexus virtual buttons.

New Android Tablet rival iPad way: the low-end market

May 19th, 2012 No comments

Android tablets are in danger of being marginalized in the past, and now after Apple launches new iPad, their situation will be devastating. In the “pure” Android Tablet is most successful when a series of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab, although its shipments is not small, but also dominate the Tablet market in the world-only 6%, this is four different Galaxy devices and share together.

Amazon and Barnes&Noble tablet on the market situation may be slightly better, but the launch of the device and not on the distinctive imprint of Android devices. In fact, the two devices, Google operating system just to run in the background.

As of now, openly affirmed the Android Tablet PC manufacturer to hardware performance has increased dramatically, there are three: Samsung, Sony and ASUS. In other words, if you want to receive 4G data transfer speed, and advanced CPU and superior display, then you must join the Android camp. This is the general situation on the market.

However, after the new iPad launch, with its prospective hardware configuration of offset past Android tablet with hardware advantage obtained by the competitiveness. Obvious is that Google’s Tablet strategy are more dangerous than ever. A market analyst or even published an article with a notice of the nature of revelation: “Android in the United States cannot become a ‘ brand ‘ of the tablet”. So, how Google and its partners should take measures to allow the consumer to choose Android Tablet instead of the iPad? Google gives some manufacturers are listed below the manufacture of tablets survive, and live a better way.

Take low-end market

Currently, Apple has occupied the tablet computer market, which is no doubt. Minimum configuration for new iPad is priced at $ 500, up to the price can reach $ 830. Consumers to buy, or to reconsider.

Some earlier market statistics show that Apple’s new iPad has gained unprecedented success. Sold within 12 hours of the Tablet PC, Apple’s flagship retail store in New York v Avenue sales reached 13,000. First weekend sold 3 million sets. While Apple themselves have said previously scheduled user “may at one o’clock in the evening to get the new iPad”. Users are more willing to spend a lot of money to buy Apple’s new iPad, which is beyond doubt.

Although Android tablet computer manufacturers also put similar high-end products to market, but consumers were unimpressed. Google to partner confusion with pricing, Motorola Xoom Tablet priced at $ 600, for example, on the more expensive than the cheapest iPad US $ 100. And Xoom is similar to some other so called high-end tablet, its sales were not good. But Amazon seems to have found the way out: If you can not win iPad, than their dijiu line.

Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablets go on sale in November last year, and quickly became the history of Amazon’s sales are the best equipment. Kindle Fire not with the hardware configuration to win, because of this 7-inch tablet computer is not equipped with any camera, built-in storage space is limited. The Tablet PC application that can be used on relatively small, because Amazon compared to Apple’s App store of Shanghai’s resources, also seem to make ends meet.

However, Amazon, price is their killer. Fire when the market price of only $ 200, than there is between 400 and 500 dollars for 10-inch tablet, is very low, but the Fire has carved up the Android camp part of the considerable market share, up 16% of the entire Tablet market, sales of the week or even more than a lot of manufacturers in sales a year.

Perhaps, Google has set aside a careful analysis of the situation and review the Amazon success brought about by the enlightenment. Last week, rumors, Google will launch next generation Nexus for $ 150 Android tablet, Asus and responsible for production.

Of course, Nexus devices is the result of Google and its partners to work together. In the past, Google and partners work together to launch a number of dazzling flagship type, fitted with a new generation of Android smartphones. If Google can make the Tablet PC version of Android on more fixed iteration, then the world will think more seriously Google Tablet market, and will be more attractive for consumers.

NPD analyst Benjamin Arnold said, “If you want to provide your public favor Android, should be closer interaction between content and hardware. Nook and the success of the Fire Tablet has a wide range of factors, but the biggest reason is the close integration of content and devices. ”

Exclusive of killer apps

Nothing is more frustrating than being marginalized. Is, unfortunately, Google will have to convince the APP developers to do better, to expect them to first to develop excellent application for the Android system, because it will bring users to the Android Tablet this feeling: they are using the latest and greatest, coolest software.

Instagram we can use as an example. At present, it is unique in the iOS system, one of the most popular software applications, the number of devices installed worldwide has reached 30 million. It was a great success, and there are no signs of a slowdown. Yes, Instagram soon to support Android, but the interval for so long, Android user dissatisfaction.

Google should help developers in this area, and work closely with them, so that the potential of the Android platform to better play, because the key to the success of a mobile device is running the above APP.

The other partners in the industry also wants to help to promote Google Android application. NVidia Tegra is hard to promote Google Play store Zone, which makes Nvidia with Tegra 2, Tegra 3 play on optimizing the impact of the game. In addition, wireless operators are also trying to make application developers for its own shops (for example V-Cast and AT&T App for Verizon Center) development software.

But Google did not actually need these excessive and differentiation of the Android app store to please the user, because the channels will make users feel tired of the clutter, thus growing gap with the iPad.

If it does not work, then support

The saying goes, “he who knows others is wise, and self-knowledge. “Perhaps, time to say goodbye to Google Android tablet, this is not to say stay away from the market, but not to attempt to launch own brand device.

Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps said in the United States market, the Android system as the background can be as successful as Amazon and Barnes&Noble. However, the traditional device manufacturers such as Toshiba, Dell, HTC now more willing to adopt Microsoft’s scheme. It is reported that Microsoft will support Tablet PC Windows 8 operating system introduced this year.

Indeed, give up the high-end Tablet market, and willing to do a background support for manufacturers, which has always led the industry development of Google 1:30 will accept it. But analysts said it’s better than life and toward the embrace of Microsoft partners. Google eyes should be placed in the long run, probably will get a better return. For example, put in more resources to support such as Fire or Nook device, put more effort in promoting Google’s Play on the app store, may be a better choice, because currently contests in the field of mobile Internet is complete for the entire eco-system of degree.

“Split” Android controversy

May 19th, 2012 No comments

Thanks, stamped in the basic point of my post
Just a week ago, Temple hot free games Run on the iOS platform has finally launched an Android version. Three days later, the game broke 1 million downloads on Google Play (45 million for seven months on the iOS platform downloads), score achieved by 4.3 points.

However, the download is one thing, can work in massive Android models is another matter. According to Temple Run Publisher Imangi Studios founder Natalia Luckyanova revealed on Twitter:

Player 99.9% messages sent to us are complaining about the Temple Run not run properly on their devices. Problem is that we now support 707 equipment. This is amazing!

Cliché: “split” the Android VS “unified” iOS this is obviously not a new problem. Due to the characteristics of the Android system itself open source, you in almost every post scold Android on the shortcomings of the article will see the “separatist” Word–countless devices running the Android system, worse is that they run Android system version is also distributed by terrible. To see more clearly the problems, application Android Audiobooks developer David Smith’s data might be more convincing:

  • In 1443 Andiobooks has different running on an Android device.
  • 1.3 million downloads of the application, accounted for the largest proportion of six Android devices (Droid x 4.3% 7.8%, Samsung Galaxy S2, Droid and the HTC Desire HD 4%, HTC Evo 4G seven, and Droid Incredible 4%) add up to only a proportion to 26.1%.
  • Running the application for Android devices running Android 2.3.3 50%, 50% system version of Android devices scattered 1.6 to 4.3 rooms. Smith feels a headache, he said:
    Both of these problems (Android device diversity and decentralization of the system) adds up to “solve problems” becomes a nearly impossible thing. You can’t give up the old version of the system and the old device, because it has a lot of users, and supports new systems and equipment has become the most difficult thing.
    This is a nightmare, the worst thing is I have a lot I can’t able to placate users. Want me to address each Bug on a device running a version system is impossible.

    By contrast, iOS platform developers is much to calm down on this issue. This fact does not require too much explanation: a few devices that run iOS systems currently on the market and, secondly, iOS users to upgrade to a new system of speed is also significantly faster than Android users on many. According to the introduction of Instapaper developer Marco Arment:

    Now, iOS 4 is a very safe for the bottom line. Soon, the bottom line will become the iOS 5.

    This means that even though no longer for iOS 4 iOS developer versions support the following system, nor how much users. Similarly, if an iOS application generation iPhone or iPhone 3G is no longer supported, it seems “reasonable”.

    Not the same sound: Android’s “separatist” problem is exaggerated Wolf Toss another game for free on the Android platform, Google on-line Play has had over 1 million downloads in a week, evaluation of average more than four stars. The Zipline game development company CEO Todd Hooper on the Android platform “split” problems have a different opinion.

    As far as described in his article published in The Next Web, as early as 2011, they also thought of the Android platform was “split” problems will be developed Wolf they Toss large obstacles. After the game on the line, they did receive a lot of complaints from the user.

    However, after the team after a few weeks of testing, they found that despite the difference of different Android devices do exist, but they have more of a traditional software engineering problems. During the tracking of these issues resolved, the remaining that resolution and aspect ratio of the device is different.

    In addition to addressing specific bug, they have also taken additional measures to reduce the failure rate of Wolf Toss on the Android devices: only allowed to run Android 2.2 or above system, stronger than the ARM7 CPU performance, resolution of not less than 320*480 the Android device to download the game, were unable to meet the requirements of the device cannot be seen Google Play in the game.

    After several attempts, current Android version of Wolf Toss the failure rate is only 1%, essentially flat with the iOS version. You can do this on the Android platform, has been fantastic.

    He said other Android developers to blame problems on Android platform “split”, you should put more focus on testing more equipment and to address specific issues. Although this than developing iOS applications (Wolf Toss with iOS version) takes more effort, but he thought it was worth it (perhaps he ought to explain why it is worth it? )。

    But we cannot rely on Todd Hooper one-sided words, and Wolf Toss the case to judge of the Android platform “split” legend questions whether there really are serious and insuperable difficulties for developers. Only Todd Hooper to the point a certain degree of significance. This may remind those who are spoiled on the iOS platform developer before the moves to Android platform should be prepared and the pendulum is one’s own State of mind, just complain and will not resolve the problem, more effort from its start is the real magic weapon to solve the problem (be spoiled iOS users can similarly? )。

    Last hope Temple Run early in the Android platform, get out of your “shrine maze”.

    P.S another popular iOS applications Instagram has been logged on Android platform, it would happen again?

Therefore, ultimately to investment applications and app store Google Google Play, Android to give end users a consistent experience.

    Paige said, “I think that people will have a variety of devices. We have seen various services have been consolidated into these devices. Now, I feel like you own every piece of equipment is needed to cope with trouble. Are you consider each device. I think this line of thinking is not correct. ”

    “I think from a user’s point of view, you will have a unified, with a great experience, you do not have to bother to bother to manage all of these devices. Therefore, I think you need to think about you all around the screen, allowing them to seamlessly connect, work better for you. Of course, speaks of the importance of the Tablet industry. We have Google TV and big screen is also very important. Computers are also important, mobile phones as well. All of these devices are very important. I expect them to work together. ”
