Paranoid Android, the new stars of alternative development ... - The Android Free

Of all the reasons why Android is a great mobile operating system, there is one to which I have always given more importance than the rest: it is free. For years using Linux, I have seen what a community-based system and freedom is capable of, and now I see with Android. This is because a programmer, on principle, to create. Want to get your hands dirty digging through the code and find the line that will solve all your problems, but those problems have been of his creation. So it is not surprising that around Android have formed several groups, each in their own way, modify and customize the system as they see fit. So far, the most famous group was CyanogenMod , but now the headlines speak of another who is stealing our attention: Paranoid Android.

Paranoid Android , apart from being a great Radiohead song, is a group that is on everyone’s lips for the creation of a new method of multitasking, taking advantage of the multitas king bar and ingenuity has ensured that we are all talking about them . As anyone who has used Android intensely know, multitasking is one of those sections that Google itself seems to take with tweezers, to the point that it is difficult to say that there is a multitasking “real”. Yes, we can change programs by holding a button and using the list of open apps, but it’s a clumsy system made, and it is never clear what application is running and what is not.

As I say, is a big breakthrough that suddenly the whole world is watching the people behind the project, and seem to know, since they like to be coaxed and strange tracks like the image below, with the have announced a new notification system, not only for chatting , but for any app that boasts. Grace is that we can have the notification anywhere, so we do not miss anything, and again, improving the concept of multitasking on Android.

Undoubtedly, the urge to present a new way of doing things has meant that there are people who consider Paranoid Android as the new CyanogenMod . People meet and take things that until then no one had occurred. This is not to say that CM not keep doing it, of course, but the fact is that the lights do not go on them as often.

the end, we must keep in mind that most of this Android would not be possible if it were a closed system . Not impossible, of course (there is no barrier that contains a well-organized community), but it would be much more difficult. And in the end, benefit us, the users.
