Android 5.0 Lollipop: 5 Key Features Added To Latest Android Version

Google announced the Android 5.0 Lollipop, the latest major version of the company’s mobile operating system, last week, along with the highly anticipated Nexus 6 smartphone, Nexus 9 tablet and a new streaming video device called the Nexus Player.

The Android 5.0 Lollipop, which was first showcased at the Google I/O conference in June as Android L, comes with many new features, such as a new material design user interface and updated notification functions. The new Android version is expected to be available for older Nexus models, including the Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Google Play Edition devices.

Here are five new key features of the Android 5.0 Lollipop:

1. WebView

WebView allows third party applications to display web content without launching the browser. The feature makes the update process independent from the update schedule of original equipment manufacturers, making it convenient for users of devices whose OEMs are slow in rolling out updates.

 2. Multi-User Support for Phones

The new Android 5.0 Lollipop offers multi-user support, which was only available for tablets, for phones. The first user of the phone will be the owner of the device and this person can decide if others can use the handset. The feature allows every profile to have its own welcome screen, application settings and wallpapers, and users can switch profiles by pressing the head button on the top right corner of the screen.

3. Application Pinning

Users of Android 5.0 Lollipop can lock any running application by applying a pin number or pattern. If the owner of the device has any protections enabled on the device, other users cannot access other apps without breaching the phone's security system.

4. Application Back Up

Users will now be able to transfer all relevant settings and apps to new Android devices through Near Field Communication at the time of initial login. Apps that are to be downloaded will be displayed as gray-colored icons, which will launch the Play Store listing when tapped.

5. Two Factor Authentication from Initial Login

Users will now be able to enter the time-sensitive security code right on the login screen itself. In previous versions of the OS, the account login screen used to open up a browser window to let users enter the code.

Upgrading Windows 7 To Windows 8 Consumer Preview Build

Introduction

Windows 8 Consumer Preview is a prerelease version of Windows 8 that focuses on people and apps and gives you powerful new ways to use social technologies to connect with the people who are important to you. It's Windows reimagined. Windows 8 Consumer Preview is built on the rock-solid foundation of Windows 7 and has the security and reliability features you expect from Windows. It’s fast, and it’s made to work on a variety of form factors—especially the new generation of touch devices.

Note : This article was written when Windows 8 was still in Consumer Preview build, changes might occur later to the product once it is RTM.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview is one of the biggest changes that Microsoft has made to Windows, moving it from an operating system aimed at a single class of hardware (PCs and laptops) to one that spans a wide range of devices, including desktops.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows 7:• Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster• RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)• Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)• Graphics card: MicrosoftDirectX 9 graphics device or higher

Additional requirements to use certain features:• To use touch, you need a tablet or a monitor that supports multitouch.• To access the Windows Store, download and run apps, you need an active Internet connection and a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768.• To snap apps, you need a screen resolution of at least 1366 x 768.

In the below steps I will show you how to download and install Windows 8 Consumer Preview, so lets start.

    Here are the options you might see:
     Windows settings. Windows settings like Ease of Access, your desktop background, or Internet favorites and history will be kept. Not all settings will be moved.
     Personal files. Anything saved in the User folder is considered a personal file, like the Documents and Desktop folders.
     Apps. Some apps are compatible with Windows 8 Consumer Preview and will just work after Windows 8 Consumer Preview is installed. Some apps might have to be reinstalled after Windows 8 Consumer Preview finishes installing, so be sure to find the installation discs and installers for apps you want to keep.
     Nothing. Delete everything and replace your current version with a copy of Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Your personal files will be moved to a windows.old folder.
    If you choose Nothing, make sure to do the following before you continue:
     Back up your files to an external hard disk, DVD or CD, USB flash drive, or network folder.
     Find the installation discs and installers for the apps you know will work in Windows 8 Consumer Preview and need to reinstall.

14. Now you are ready to install, click Install
