the latest version of Google’s operating system for smartphones and tablets, the Android 4.4 KitKat. The famous confectionery company Nestlé has enabled Google uses to KitKat brand to name the new version of Android, also gaining thus a higher projection worldwide.
version 4.4 brings quite significant innovations in terms of design and appearance of the platform and in terms of user experience, as well as plenty of new additional features.
We highlight small changes in some native applications such as calendar and Hangouts which was updated and will integrate with SMS messages online.
But the main novelty of Android 4.4 is the voice recognition feature that lets you use voice commands without touching the phone screen and works even in standby mode.
Thomas Gehrke
According to Google, the 4.4 KitKat also underwent some modifications in order to considerably improve the speed and performance of the system, especially on mobile devices with the most basic settings.
multitasking feature was also faster.
Let’s see, in more detail some of the new Android 4.4 KitKat.
Apps and games can now use the entire screen, ie when the user opens an application or start a game, disappear down the notifications bar and battery icon. The user interface of Android is hidden whenever interacting with content.
Android 4.4 can “work” in low-end devices with just 512 MB of RAM, such as the HTC Hero which came out three years ago. KitKat becoming more agile main component to reduce memory usage and presents new tools to help developers build applications more efficient.
Now the user can print using Google Cloud Print via your Android device. This Print Manager provides shared services and gives users control over printing from any application. The component also ensures the security of the content that is sent from the application to a printing service.
Android 4.4 features a number of back-end adjustments to improve the overall performance and speed with which the device performs the tasks. Also the response of touchscreen is faster. The end result is a smoother user experience, the apps load faster and a significant increase in performance multitasking.
This is perhaps one of the most interesting news, if the user receives a call from an unknown number (a business, for example), the KitKat will review Google Maps to find an appropriate image and use it as an identifier calls. So we have an idea who is making the call.
Another of the features of Android 4.4 is the ability to record in real time what is happening on the screen. All recorded content is stored in MP4 format.

The manufacturers are betting on more updating devices and HTC and LG G2 One (Korean version) have started to receive Android 4.4 .
Android 4.4 KitKat is to bet big to attempt “non-fragmentation” of Android. The highlight of this latest version is the ability to be installed in the same low-cost devices with 512MB of RAM, since the code is much lighter.
Since the update is a major factor in consumer choice, the major manufacturers are working more and more, very hard to upgrade ASAP. This latest version of Android will certainly be a faster version that comes with the devices and will probably have the greatest growth.
To begin, one must note the LG. LG has stated that the old policy updates, much criticized, was set aside and are in a new era. However, its top of the range LG G2 is one of the first devices to receive Android 4.4 KitKat . So far, only the Korean version is the update for KitKat, but surely that should not take long to reach the rest of the world.
Also HTC is well and go after Google HTC One version have received the update, it is now the turn of and unlocked version of the HTC One programmer version.
Thus, large manufacturers are seeking to demonstrate that your updates are getting better. Coincidentally, the Samsung is the only one that has not specified nor commented when will the Android 4.4 to their devices.

With the arrival of the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4, some users just having some problems with the app because he does not support the Android Runtime (ART), replacement of the Dalvik virtual machine and already activated by some users. Noticing the sudden interruptions, developers have worked hard and finally announced official support to ART in the latest update of Titanium Backup.
For those unaware, Android Runtime is a new way of running Android and its applications, implemented in version KitKat and developed to replace the Dalvik virtual machine and provide greater speed and stability the operating system. To take advantage of 100% novelty, some applications (such as Titanium Backup itself) need to be adapted to the new runtime.
For those who are not yet on Android 4.4 or not updated your phone yet, the update will not change anything in the user experience. The app is now available and it is worth remembering that it needs root access to the operating system.

Yield x iOS apps on Android
Most polls have always shown that developers for iOS earned more money on average than the developers of apps for Android. Not for nothing that the App Store is still so strong even with the massive numbers of Android and its users.
A new report from BI Intelligence shows us how the average yield of apps for iOS is currently up Android. In the survey we see that Android is still far behind iOS in terms of in-app purchases, or purchases ‘in-app’. Already in income through advertising, the difference is much smaller. The yield per download would be $ 1 on $ 0.19 iOS and Android respectively.
This difference has been greater, yet Android still has a long way. Another recent survey by Flurry says that the same ad has a 1800% better return on iOS than on Android. In addition, users spend 19 cents on average for every downloaded application, compared to 6 cents on Android.

I’m watching you! (Image Source: Press Release / Google) In recent years the Android system went from anonymity to become, almost meteoric fashion, the most widely used mobile operating system on the planet. If at the beginning of the iOS system and iPhones were unanimous, now is the little robot that Google dominates the market, being present in over 80% of all smartphones in the world.
The growth of Android was fast – and the adoption of smart phones, which did not even exist 10 years ago – however, this does not mean that the path has been easy and smoothly. He was actually very long, after all, over time, many rumors and “opinions” standard emerged to tarnish the image of the operating system.
Not that some facts were not true, but it is also necessary to highlight any trends that Android had in recent years. A fragmented system full of bugs and bad form, he began to show increasingly strong and resourceful. Then check out Six Myths (and Facts) demystified about Android.
Android fragmentation between different devices and different brands of electronics is something heavily criticized in the technology world. For those unaware, this term is used to “describe” the distribution of different versions of the operating system on various available devices on the market.
Jelly Bean is now the most popular version (Image Source: Reproduction / GSM) Many people criticize the fact that there are a lot of devices with very old OS options, something that can cause problems such as incompatibility of new applications or even the lack of resources and operating speed.
Yes, fragmentation has been a problem in the Android world, however, both Google and also manufacturers of smartphones are finding ways to combat the problem. According to the company, more than half of devices running the OS has some Jelly Bean version installed.
Thus, distributions 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 would amount to 52.1% of all Android devices. Remember that the survey was conducted before the release of Android KitKat. In addition, other information worth mentioning is the fact that until a few months ago, the Gingerbread edition was the most popular.
Hmmm, jelly beans! (Image Source: Reproduction / Pplware) Finally, an interesting point highlighted by some analysts may also be remembered: the fact that older versions of Android also enable the development of devices with cheaper hardware – leaving more accessible to public smartphones with lower power purchasing.
Not if you do not take risks, you hardly end up getting some sort of malware on your Android device. Contrary to what many people think, infecting your machine with a virus is much more difficult than doing it on computers.
Options abound for you to feel safer (Image Source: Reproduction / Baixaki) Although there are thousands of apps for the operating system, Google tries to keep a little closer tabs on what is offered in the official Android app store. Of course, even then there can be exceptions – including, occasionally we just “fishing” some malicious app on tests of Baixaki -., However, you just follow some simple rules of “good conduct” not to worry
You should not, for example, using completely unknown and programs you downloaded from places other than Google Play. Also, use common sense and not exit by clicking strange links while surfing the internet. Finally, we find it necessary, download any of the renowned antivirus that come with versions for Android.
lot of people who bought an Android in recent times must have heard of someone: “Get ready for download a task manager and a program to take care of your battery”. This is because some believe that to maintain device performance we need to be constantly closing the programs that are running in the background.
This is not true, especially in newer versions of the operating system, that deal much better with multitasking tools. So if you get forcing the closure of programs likely to happen the opposite of what you want, ie the system consume more energy to have to close and open applications more consistently.
One of the great myths about the operating system would be the fact that it is complicated and that the learning curve to get operate an Android gadget is much greater than that to be “covered” by those who buy a device that uses another SO.
Currently
comment something until something is offensive to a person who is buying a new electronic. How well resembles the Android Authority, nowadays the main interfaces of mobile operating systems are extremely similar, so that one hardly finds such difficulty and difference in the basic usability of a smartphone with Android or iOS.
Moreover, it is also worth noting that the system of Google is that it has more penetration in different markets, ie, he has managed to appeal to different audience profiles using basically the same formula for all of them.
Another great discussion involving mobile devices revolves around the stability of the operating systems. And the fact is that make compelling statements in this regard, at least in the current market, is extremely complicated.
A growing army! (Image Source: Reproduction / Epsilon Creations) This is because both Windows Phone and Android and iOS already arrived in mature stages of development, presenting a uniform and very similar function with respect to the “basic” use of equipment.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that research, reviews and even comparisons between operating systems pop up on the internet almost daily. And something that is as common as these articles is the fact that they contradict each other almost all the time. If Android is in a more stable, so you find another saying that iOS is much more reliable than its main competitor.
So, the truth is that a good Android device shows a behavior very similar to any iPhone or Lumia belonging to the same category. Here, today, what really counts is the personal experience of each individual, taking into account what is being sought on a new laptop.
One of the reasons Android has the bad reputation of being easily invaded by malware is the fact that it is an open system. Yes, Android is open, but not in the way people imagine it to be.
Android is ours! (Image Source: Reproduction / Google) Despite being based on the Linux system, the OS created by Google is full of restrictions. Even with every new update released, new rules and locks are implemented by the company to let some aspects of the standard operating system.
This displeases someincluding manufacturers, after all, almost everyone likes to insert changes and circumstances that leave their aircraft with important differences to beat the competition.
(Image Source: Playback / TechCrunch) Android seems to have matured as an operating system. With the proposal called “Project Butter”, which originated Jelly Bean (4.1), the OS has gained greater reliability in its user interface, earning what Google stands to be a parity with the competition – iOS, of course. What would be the next step? Lose some extra “pounds” acquired during the process in order to achieve better performance.
There are, of course, a fancy name to identify the new focus of attention of Google. This is the “Project Svelte”, whose result was the KitKat hyped Android 4.4. “When I started, we played that the goal of Project Butter was leaving the system more responsive,” said the chief engineer for the Android, Dave Burke, in an interview with ReadWrite.
“occurs, however, that butter [butter] causes weight gain. So I came up with Project Svelte [slim] to lose weight. Thus, my contribution to the Android was basically zero, “joked the subject.
(Image Source: Reproduction / Wikimedia Commons)
Trazudido in more practical terms, the Svelte Project aimed to make design solutions affordable operating system built to practically any device. In fact, the KitKat Android can run on gadgets with just 512 MB of RAM, reducing the fragmentation of the OS and reducing the need for Gingerbread (2.3) in more modest smartphones.
But the whole thing was made more practical by the team of Burke. “The goal of Project Svelte was basically reduce memory utilization, limited to 512 MB,” he told the publication said. “The way we got it was … Picking up a Nexus 4 and adapting it to run on 512 MB. “
Then KitKat team forced to work at a lower resolution and also run with only two processors instead of four. Even the processing frequency was lowered before each of the engineers took home a “stripped-down” the copy machine, ensuring a closer experience.
(Image Source: Press Release / Google) “We adapt to the qHD resolution, which is 960×540, since it is a kind of ideal for smartphones more modest point,” said the man. “We reduced the number of CPUs from four to two. Reduced the clock and additional. Literally, many of us have used it as a primary phone, “Burke assured, enhancing the experience” painful “, at least initially.
Once configured the Nexus 4, the group of Google engineers has identified four goals for the “reduced fat” that would lead to the Android 4.4 KitKat:
Reduce the memory usage of applications that run on the Google Experience devices (Nexus);
Repair how applications react to crashes in low-memory available, and
Provide instrumentation to better measure of how the apps are running on Android in order to provide developers with a perspective on how much memory your application consumes.
(Image Source: Press Release / Google) The last guideline was embodied in “ProcStats” mode, which allows Google to monitor utlização RAM by the apps, dividing those with moderate those processes that eat up system resources. As a result, finally, it must be devoted KitKat as the most practical and streamlined Android -. New natural step needed after intake of fat, of course
(Image Source: Playback / The Verge)
list of Motorola devices that will be updated with Android 4.4 KitKat increased. According to the company, models and Atrix HD Electrify M will jump directly from version 4.1 to latest.
addition, it is worth remembering that the company had also confirmed the release of Android 4.4 KitKat for all models available in 2013, as Moto Moto X and G. The relationship also includes the Droid devices (Ultra and Mini Maxx), HD Maxx, Droid Razr (M, M Developer Edition and Developer Edition HD) and HD Razr as confirmed to receive the latest version of Android.Until now these updates are only confirmed for the U.S., but there is no specific date. Of course, they should get to Brazil later for models sold here.
