Google tightens rules to keep the Android store cleaner - TeK.sapo

Google does not want misleading ads and applications implemented schemes that lead to the installation of other applications. These are just two examples of the new rules imposed by the Google developers with the goal of making software Store and Google Play cleaner and less intrusive.
 

Many applications, particularly in the area of ??games, use an advertising strategy by popup – windows that open automatically – to generate money. When the user reaches the end of another level, for example, immediately appears an ad that charged forwards to another application page for the download of this will eventually be done.
 

Besides intrusive, these devices are misleading since many times the user clicks on the ads by instinct and not by choice. Technological Mountain View also do not want programmers to simulate other apps that are known to the people as a way to “lure” interfaces.
 

Another new rule explicitly says that henceforth the applications will not be able to send SMS without user consent. This scheme was used by fraudulent apps like TeK detected last year in Portuguese Android store, but is also used by some programmers in an attempt to make your viral apps.
 

Google is still tighten the rules on applications with adult content. “Apps that contain or promote pornography are prohibited, this includes sexually explicit or erotic content, icons, titles or descriptions,” says the company. As TechCrunch points out, a quick search for the term sexy on Play Store reveals that there is still a long way to go until the new rules are adopted by the developers .
 

The changes come shortly after unconfirmed reports circulating that Google is also enhancing the levels of Android security thinking in the business environment.

Nokia X hacked to run Android is "real" - Tecmundo

If you were hoping that Nokia announced a smartphone with Android in a manner similar to what other manufacturers do so, must have been quite disappointed to learn that the Nokia X does not work with the operating system from Google itself – it comes a modified version of the system, working with marked changes in Android features.

But hackers found a way to make the machine can run any version of Android – including versions stock , which are lighter and are present in the Nexus line of devices. For this, the developer KashaMalaga created a process that goes beyond latches bootloader Nokia X and allows the files to be accessed from the original bootloader, bringing Android to the top.

hacker published his experiments on XDA Developers and says the process is very fast, requiring only that the device is connected to a computer and then the Framaroot system is applied for it to be achieved root access on your smartphone. He says the process also allows access to Google Play Store, but does not reveal what are the consequences of root for the battery.

Although the process seems relatively easy, it must be remembered that the use of third-party systems for changing a firmware can cause the end of the technical support and the loss of some of the security apparatus. Therefore, it is recommended that only advanced users use this procedure on their smartphones.

Understand the difference between Android Nokia X and other ... - Globo.com

Nokia unveiled three new smartphones from the X line, equipped with Android, on Monday (24). However, this operating system in X, X + and XL has some differences from the devices Samsung Galaxys, Sony Xperias or even the Google Nexus system.

Stay informed of all the news from MWC 2014

To help you better understand this issue, the TechTudo prepared a special with everything you need to understand the difference between Android Nokia X and those of other manufacturers. Check

Android : a system of open source

Created in 2008, Android’s main flagship Google, which develops the system and passes the code so that other manufacturers can make modifications and throw it on their devices. Is this pre-release stage that companies can choose two different ways: using a base of Pure Android (AOSP), causing profound changes in the system, or launch their handsets with small customizations from this base and equipped with the package at <> Google Mobile Services (GMS).

GMS is nothing more than the set of Google applications like Gmail, Google Play Store, Maps and Chrome, found most of the Android phones. The package also gives access to a number of API and codes used by developers into their applications. Unlike the AOSP, MSG is not free, and each manufacturer must pay $ 0.75 (about £ 1.75) per device to use it, but it has advantages such as compatibility with Google services and access to about one million applications Play Store. The manufacturers who choose not to use the GMS should develop their own tools to the system. This is the case of Amazon and Nokia.

Android Nokia x Google Android

Although the adoption of Android by Microsoft after the purchase has been a matter of controversy, Nokia decided to minimize it to delete the package Google mobile services (GMS) and work only with pure Android (AOSP). In practice, this means that the Nokia X, XL and X + does not come with apps like Gmail, Google Maps, Drive, Chrome browser and mainly access Store Play Store.

To circumvent this and to please his future mistress, Nokia included in the devices themselves services such as Nokia Maps and Here MixRadio, and solutions from Microsoft: Outlook, OneDrive and Skype. In addition, the manufacturer has ensured that 75% of apps on Google Play gifts can now be published in Nokia Store Store without any modification. Have the remaining applications can replace the APIs and code present in the GMS by the alternatives created by the company and dubbed Nokia Services. Another major difference is that the Finnish manufacturer even adopts the Android name and baptize your system “Nokia X Platform”.

The measures adopted by Nokia go against Samsung, Sony, LG, Motorola and other manufacturers, leaving the harder part of the development of Android with Google. With this, these manufacturers spend less time in setting up your own application stores or services and focus on developing unique applications, features and customizations of their systems.

In other words, the system that runs on the Xperia, Galaxy and others is the same, with released by Google and full access to Google Play, the largest Android store updates. About it, for example, Sony implements its interface and apps like Music Unlimited, while Samsung TouchWiz adopts visual and Knox application. Have Nokia needs to ensure replacements Google services and applications and the interface, which is very close to Windows Phone.

Worth buying a Nokia X?

This is a very subjective question and one that should take into consideration the hardware and user habits. However, it is possible to highlight some points. The first is that if you do not use Google services such as Gmail or Drive, will not feel much difference when buying a Nokia X. Moreover, as noted by the manufacturer itself, most applications of Google Play is fully compatible with the system, even if they are not present in Nokia Store, you can find them in other unofficial outlets such as the “1 mobile market.” This undoubtedly must minimize impacts on the adaptation of the system users.
