Install the Split View the LG G2 to G3 with a Single Application

LG G2 Split Window

The LG G2 was and still is a great phone and with the advent of the G3's price will fall even more for prospective buyers. He is also a special smarpthone which easily can acquire basic characteristics of the offspring. One of these improvements is the camera to bring the same quality level as the G3 and the second is the Split View, the function opens two applications simultaneously for better multitasking. So today we found a couple of ways installation Split View in G2, but who needs serious knowledge of the Android system to apply them safely. Until a few days ago but where one XDA devotee from the packaging all in one apk file to enable us. 

The apk essentially contains the tools and adequate records of a mod which is formed specifically for our device. In this mod after installing the custom recovery of choice after a reboot, everything is in place. Its use is very simple and easy as after installing just press "Create MOD" to create the file. This process can take up to 15 minutes so do not be alarmed. Once finished press "Reboot to Recovery" to install it in the usual way. It goes without saying that we always do a backup via recovery in case something goes wrong. To use the Split View is sufficient to go to the "System Settings" and activate the option "Multitasking", while longer triggered every time you hold down the key "Back". You will find the apk in the thread at XDA, where you can inquire with more details on this mod

Corrects the Android Intent Filters with Short Url Resolver

Short Url Resolver

One of the good things that have the Android, is that we can define the "default" applications for any action we want to do. 

Many applications (especially social media) show links which have first been "shrink" through various service (google, youtube, fb.me etc.). 

So while you're in the G + application and you want to get a video from YouTube to post them has a boyfriend, first pressing the link will open the Browser for 1-2 seconds (to "translate" the shrinked link in "normal" ) and then you open the YouTube application to "play" the video. 

Generally always hated the shrinked / short links, mainly because "hide" what the site will open. The fact that "spoil" the Android Intent Filters to make them even more undesirable for my tastes. 

Those who have Xposed is the Module CrappaLinks, but there is another solution that does not require root. 

Applying Short Url Resolver works impeccably, making resolve the short urls in the background without opening the Browser. 

All that is required of us is to make that associate with the management of short urls the first time. 

It's free, no ads and only 200kb. You know what to do.

Google Search: Discovered Evidence of Device Cross-Share Function with Push Bullet


After Google last week, version 3.6.13 of the search app for Android has released, the guys from Android Police have looked at in more detail the application and made an interesting discovery: Apparently Google is working on a competition for Push Bullet. With the new feature, for example, text should be easy to send as a notification from the computer onto the phone. 

Tastes are obviously differ, in terms of apps. Push Bullet however, is without doubt one of the small number of must-have apps. The application adds Android and Chrome so many useful features that many observers speculated on a takeover startup with Google for quite some time. That this has not yet happened, could possibly have a good reason: Google apparently working on its own solution à la Push Bullet. 

Google Crose Share with Pushbullet

The evidence can be found, as so often, buried deep in the assets of already available applications. In version 3.6.13 of Google Search, which was released last week, can find four interesting snippet: 

<string name = "phonelink_note_sent_from_computer"> Sent from PC. </ string> 
<string name = "phonelink_note_save"> Save </ string> 
<string name = "phonelink_note_copy"> Copy </ string> 
<string name = "phonelink_note_copied"> Text copied </ string> 

A brief statement on this: In the future, therefore it should be possible to send text directly from the computer to the smartphone. Achieved the notification the mobile companion, the user is informed about their origin and then has the opportunity to copy the text to the or to save. While saving the text user can chose which app he wants to use this, then. To visually represent the better, Android Police has taken the assets and created from it a sample app. 

A sent from computer text wanders in form of a normal notification on your smartphone and can be copied or saved to the clipboard: 

bullet push-compete-for-app 

If you want to save the text, you get a choice between several compatible applications: 

bullet push-compete-for-app-2 push bullet-competitor-related-memo app 

Much to Google's Push Bullet alternative is currently still in the dark: If you just about can send text or links, images and other files? It remains only for text, Bullet Push Google solution is still miles ahead. How will Google implement the function on the PC? Here, of course, Chrome would offer integrated either as an extension or directly in the browser.

Interestingly, the feature also fits the new "Warp" function, which has made headlines at the weekend and the one probably soon among other YouTube videos with other smart phones in the vicinity will be able to share - even without an Internet connection. New possibilities for sharing content and data currently appear to be on Google's own to-do list probably at the top. 

What do you say? Would you an integrated solution within Androids / Chrome prefer? Or do you prefer to stay at Push Bullet?

Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro: A phablet with emphasis on battery Lenovo flagship for this year


Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro

Lenovo is one of the largest technology companies in the world anddemonstrates throughout the season the qualitative and non devices we proposein all range. Unfortunately in Greece we have not yet seen the strengths ofmodels, one of which is brand new Vibe Z2 Pro, the flagship with exceptional features, which places emphasis on autonomy. 

Characteristically 

Processor: Quad Core Qualcomm 801 at 2.5GHz 
GPU: Adreno 330 
RAM: 3GB 
Memory: 32GB 
Display: IPS LCS 6.0 inch @ 1440 x 2560p (490ppi) 
Camera: Rear 16MP (HDR, OIS, dual LED flash), front unknown resolution 
Connectivity: 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, GPS (Glonass), dualSIM, microUSB 2.0 
Battery: 4000mAh 
Dimensions: 156 x 81.3 x 7.7mm - 179gr 
Operating System: Android 4.4.2 KitKat (Vibe UI 2.0) 

The device features the cream of the characteristics which guarantees top performance, but it is worth mentioning separately on the screen, which is 2Kresolution with the same LG G3 but a larger size, but the battery which reaches4000mAh! It will be released in a model without capacity 32GB microSD port andample RAM 3GB. 

As regards the price sounds that will cost close to 625 €, slightly less than the similar model G3 with 3GB RAM to 650 €. The bet must win but Lenovo is theupgrades and mainstream device features do not justify the reason to do it.
