Download Android M Launcher for Lollipop devices

Google has finally unveiled Android M developer preview yesterday at Google I/O 2015 and some news features like dark system theme UI, pick and choose app permissions, Android Pay, fingerprint support, Now on Tap etc. have been spotted.

Recently we spotted that Android M also supports multi-window mode so that one can keep different activities on the same screen at the same time. Now as Android M preview images are out, Android M apps have been ported for Lollipop running devices.

Android M Launcher

You need Android Lollipop running device to install Android M launcher, we tested it on Xperia Z2, Z3, working on non-rooted devices also.

To install Android M Launcher on your device, you need two files posted below. After installing below-posted two files, set Google Now Launcher as your default launcher. App drawer is now arranged alphabetically.

Android M supports Multi-Window Mode – Keep Multiple activities on screen at the same time

Google announced Android M yesterday at Google I/O 2015 and developer preview images have already been shared for selected Nexus Devices. It was found that Android M supports dark theme system UI along with the light theme and now another very interesting striking feature has been discovered.

Android M supports “Mult-Window Mode”, yes exactly like we saw “dual window mode” in LG G4. Under developer options, there is an option “Multi-Window mode”, activating which you can keep multiple activities on screen at the same time.

Android M Multi-Window Mode

After activating multi-window mode on Android M, select the task layout and then from “recent apps” button tap on the “icon” visible on the name bar of every app opened to set 2 apps/settings in multi-window mode.

Check out the Android M Multi-Window mode preview below.

Which Xperia devices will get Android M Update?

Google has released Android M developer preview yesterday at Google I/O 2015 and some interesting features have been spotted so far like dark system theme UI, pick and choose app permissions, Android Pay, fingerprint support, Now on Tap etc.

Google will release Android M update to end users later this year whereas developer preview images have been released so far for a few selected Nexus devices.

Xperia devices and Android M updates

Sony has just finished updating its Xperia “Z” series to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop update and rolled it on Xperia T2 Ultra and Xperia C3 also.

Now when Xperia users are waiting for Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update, let’s discuss the most important question right now i.e. Which Xperia devices will get Android M update in future?

Xperia Devices getting Android M Update

Keep in mind we are just discussing here Android M update future on Xperia devices, don’t take it as an official statement.

Devices definitely getting Android M Update: Xperia Z4 Tablet, Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z3+ Dual.

Devices which should also get Android M Update: Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Dual (T-Mobile Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Verizon) Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia A4.

Devices which should also be updated to Android M as per our view: Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1s, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z Ultra.

Devices which may or may not get Android M Update: Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z; as these Xperia devices are more than 2 years old and Sony is still supporting them (so their future support is not clear right now).

If Sony updates Xperia Z, ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z on Android M then it will definitely come on Xperia T2 Ultra, Xperia C3, Xperia M4 Aqua, Xperia E4 (Xperia T3, not sure unless Android Lollipop update is released for it).

Android M update future for Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia E1 is not a question for the time being as Sony still has not given any hint for Android Lollipop update for these devices.

Check here if you haven’t updated your device to Lollipop yet.

What do you think guys which Xperia devices will get Android M updates in future? Will Sony give Android M update on Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z or not? Drop your comments below.

Android M has Dark System Theme UI option to opt

Google has officially announced Android M today at Google I/O 2015 and developer preview images for a few selected Nexus devices are available now. A striking feature which has been noticed so far that Android M allows you to opt for “Dark System Theme UI“.

Under the “Developer options” there is an option “theme” which allows you to choose the system UI theme from following options “dark, light, automatic”. If chosen “automatic” theme option then it might change the theme accordingly to some “variable” like timings of day or light etc. (not known yet).

Dark System Theme UI in Android M

Check out the exclusive preview of Dark System Theme UI in Android M.

Android M Dark Theme System UI

Dark Theme option is just like an option present in Google Keyboard. Android Lollipop presented a white system-wide UI and with this system theme selecting feature in Android M, AMOLED display device users will be happy.

We will soon have a discussion on which Xperia devices will probably get Android M update in future, so stay tuned.

Sony explains the logic behind using name Xperia Z3 Plus, instead of launching Xperia Z4 globally

Sony Mobile launched Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z3+ Dual two days back and the then users are asking why Sony has changed the name from Xperia Z4 to Xperia Z3 Plus for the global launch. Well, an official word from Sony has come on the same now.

As per the Sony officials, Xperia Z3 is performing well in many regions of the world but there was a need of new device with latest specifications of a flagship in Japanse market that can satisfy customers there and hence Xperia Z4 was introduced in Japan whereas it as, a new premium edition to Xperia Z3 series i.e. Xperia Z3+ is launched globally.

Logic behind using name Xperia Z3 Plus

Read the official words from Sony Mobile below.

The main reason for the name difference here is down to Sony being such a dominant force in the Japanese market [where] consumers crave flagship devices with the latest features as soon as they can be delivered,” the firm explained.

Xperia Z3 continues to perform well as our flagship device across the rest of the world. To address those customers that would like to have the very latest features and refinements, we have introduced Xperia Z3+ as a premium addition to our existing flagship Z3 series.”

As for the H1 2015 Sony unveiled Xperia Z4 and Xperia Z3+ so we can hope for Xperia Z5 as the next full fledge flagship and just not a slight upgrade over its predecessor in H2 2015.

Check out Sony Xperia Z3+ full detailed specifications here.
