  • You can download Blackberry Messenger for Android - Taliandroid

    That can already download Blackberry Messenger for Android , is a story that has spread like wildfire but we see interesting laggards finally announce that we have at our disposal to Blackberry Messenger both iOS and Android . The output of this was expected for 21 and September 22, but for reasons unknown Canadian company has delayed his departure until he has given the nod (almost 1 month)

    logo-blackberry-messenger

    Until a few days, limited the download BlackBerry Messenger for Android BlackBerry users who had subscribed to a waiting list, but now download the application is very simple, you just have to enter the Google Play and find the app with the word “BBM for Android” and it will leave the result in first page. Although if you prefer you left a link below you words, you dais to Download @ Google Play and ready.

    Google Play

    Developer: BlackBerry Limited.

    I find it interesting to give you this information, because many people took advantage LINE pull to trick users to download the program and put them in affiliate programs where you have to put your phone number and we will charge a monthly fee about 40 € (the famous club Zed etc) The only place where you should download the application is Google Play, there you will be completely safe. In addition, Abel prepared an interesting article where I explained in great details What is BBM? and the first steps that you must give to the program of instant messaging, and Blackberry is known worldwide although there are many users that we miss operation.

    History on Blackberry

    Also, I would remontarme a little history of the company to help you decide whether to use the Blackberry Messenger or not. Blackberry became operational in 1999 but not until 2003 when he gave the big jumps and became a world reference, as seen in the following table showing the number of subscribers to its messaging service (for BB Android not)

    bb-blackberry

    figure, impressive but over time other devices were created that have Blackberry by eating ground as the iPhone and Android phones, allowing people to have a greater extent to communication, the proof is Whatsapp and a staggering 350 million users who have reached a number that is far from the not inconsiderable 72 million Blackberry users.

    So, I pose the following question: Blackberry Messenger for Android is a real alternative? It’s a bit precipicado to answer that question, but certainly the madness unleashed by its release is a good indicator that we Blackberry Messenger for a while.

    All new Kia models will come with Android (standard or optional)

    green robot gets back driving gloves, this time to be at the controls of future Kia models. The South Korean carmaker, which until now had felt so warm and even doubtful with his platform UVO infotainment, plans to adopt a new system of connection to Android-based smartphones.

    As reported in the national press, this new combination of hardware and software make use of Google’s mobile operating system, will have its own app store and own integration features for phones with Android and iOS. Its closest rival is the Ford SYNC, pioneering platform can boast of being the most advanced in the market by virtue of being also one of the oldest and most established.

    Recall that the current version of UVO (which practically only marketed in the U.S.) is not derived from Android, but Windows Embedded Automotive, the solution offered by Microsoft for car manufacturers to develop their own media centers based on Windows CE. Not know the reason why Kia has decided to opt for UVO developing Android 2.0, but not too surprising considering that this change not long ago the company announced that its upcoming models will feature Google Maps and Places.

    first Android Kia vehicles will be the new Soul (top) and Genesis, which will go on sale in late 2013, but the idea is to introduce the UVO 2.0 platform on all models of the manufacturer, to the point of that there will be a single release in 2014 that does not have Android “by default or as an option.” For now know what the position of Hyundai, the parent of Kia, but we know that Samsung has opted for Tizen for vehicles manufactured in South Korea by Renault.

    Reddit Diving for one, sometimes, humorous comments and disputes between internetiles, is interesting stuff like this that I bring, a lovely easter egg of those that Google likes to leave out there. Perhaps the most famous is the one that Android shows a small image or animation repeatedly pressing the version number in Settings.

    This is more sympathetic and requires a combination of two elements, firstly the stopwatch Android , possibly just to enjoy those with a Nexus or android smartphone with pure without interface, plus Google Keep , the app notes and reminders and Google.

    trick is that when we make a record of time , we can use the share button on Android, and obviously the options are Keep, as well to save time, for example, 3 seconds and 56/10 (time spent drinking a 250 ml glass of Paulaner beer guzzlers in a competition) not only saves time but also a little text that Google was invented , and many of them are pretty funny, I leave you with a few that I could find.

    Sony PlayStation App for Android will arrive on November 22 - Android Help

    awaited PlayStation App Sony already has a date of arrival: November 22 in Europe (the 13th of the same month will do the same in the U.S.). Therefore, it is confirmed that this development will be in the game when the console version of the Japanese company a reality in the market.

    this software is expected to allow seamless integration between having a mobile device, in this case Android OS , and the new game console by Sony (PlayStation 4). All this using the Network and has an expected user experience really good-and, also, with an interface that let you have the feeling that the device is carried in the terminal itself.

    Incidentally, the date has been made official for the arrival of this development (which can be considered a “companion” since integrates all the new options of the console and thus serves assistant) occurs much earlier than expected. Therefore, it is clear that Sony has worked hard to bring into play this application.

    Sony PlayStation App

    With a lot of possibilities

    As noted above, the date of arrival in the European market is the November 22 … still very curious that in Asian countries-with some exceptions-the arrival of PlayStation 4 and this implementation will not occur until 2014. These are some of the options included in this development:

    • direct access to PlayStation Network profile
    • Instant messaging between users
    • specific news channel
    • List

    • comparative achievement between users
    • Ability to use the mobile as a second screen
    • PS4 Remote Control
    • Option

    • online shopping (including games and content)

    In short, Sony anticipates expected about the date of arrival of PlayStation App and in addition, it shows that this device much like Microsoft will integrate significant on mobile devices, regardless of operating system (and of course, Android could not miss). Good news for lovers of games, no doubt.

    Novel launchers for Android - Bitelia

    One of the main advantages of Android on other mobile operating systems like iOS or Windows Phone, are the vast amount of customization options that these devices offer, and the fact that you’re characteristics are highly accessible and simple to apply to any user, enable each smartphone can feel truly unique.

    launchers for android

    Android launcher or application launcher is the application that manages your desktop and organizes your applications. There are a huge number of alternatives, and for some time the most popular as ADW, Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, Apex, Nova, etc.., Have focused on offer almost the same features and benefits, they also offer many options, which sometimes prove overwhelming for the user less tanning.

    These five launchers for Android that I show below are characterized by their innovative approach and somewhat separated from the line to which we are accustomed.

    Themer of MyColorScreen

    If you’re a fan of Android customization , you must be more than familiar with MyColorScreen, a site that has become obligatory reference for modding enthusiasts in their gadgets . Themer is a project developed by this small and growing startup located in California, with the goal of making our screens in Android, beautiful, functional and personal.

    What makes Themer special is its huge community of talented designers, able to make amazing changes in their desks. Thanks to this, Themer puts all these complex configurations available to any user with a single click.

    Themer is now in beta, and is accessible by invitation only. You can download the application from Google Play, to request access register your email address themerapp.com, and wait for a code to start using it.

    Themer

    only supports Android 4.1 and higher.

    Aviate

    Aviate is a new launcher also in beta and available only by invitation. Aviate highlighted by the different approach when you have to organize your desktop. It works intelligently, simplifying as much as possible our screens, adding only what we use most during the day.

    aesthetic customization options are few, but the goal of Aviate is not that, but to simplify the way we access to everything. Aviate rearranges your desktop in 3 simple screens: one principal to which you can add a decorative image of your choice that shows the applications you use most, besides collecting important information for you during the day, a second where you organize your applications into categories and in which you can move like the different icons and a third which lists all apps you have installed in alphabetical order.

    Aviate has a very neat interface, for those looking for convenience and simplicity, is a great option to replace the boring launcher default of its smartphones .

    Smart

    Laucher

    Smart Launcher is another simple launcher designed to help you organize your applications into categories. Has a nice dock side by which you can slide your finger to navigate through the different groups of applications. The animations are nice and fluid.

    Besides this Smart Launcher is highly customizable, since it is compatible with the vast amount of themes and icons for other launchers classics like ADW, Launcher Pro, Apex and Nova.

    Facebook Home

    customization layer I believe Facebook to include with your “half failed” smartphone , has evolved gradually and increasingly includes more features. For users who can not live without your social network privacy invasive preferred Facebook Home can be a very interesting alternative, and its interface is quite nice.

    the last update was added integration with Flickr, Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr. Besides this you can decide whether to use Facebook Home alone on the lock screen or as application launcher.


    SSKIN

    launchers for android SSKIN

    SSKIN is a launcher with relatively simple functions, does the same as the usual suspects, you can add multiple desktops, widgets , organize the icons on your desktop as you see fit, etc.. SSKIN What makes it stand out, and the reason why I decided to include it in this list, is the wide range of issues are there, and so these are peculiar.

    SSKIN has a separate application that acts as a store of skins , where you can find a large selection of different styles that will delight more than one geek . Although installation is not mandatory, and you can search the skins directly on Google Play.

    There are so many styles

    ultra geeks, you can spend hours browsing, and finally decide to download them all because they are hilarious. Some issues that leave you a bit confused, but after all, is an application developed by Asians.

    And no, I did not include Buzz launcher, because although Themer came first, focus, potential community of designers and selected aspects of this I seem superior, and despite being a beta, personally I put above.

    Emulators

    This is probably the most difficult section, as in the Play Store there is a big variety of these applications which is always difficult to choose a favorite. Anyway, here will list the ones we tested and best results have given us, and let your hand if you choose any of those we invite you to try, or if you prefer to choose one of your personal favorites.

    crash

    Beginning with Nintendo consoles, to emulate the NES my personal choice has always been John NES, but NES.emu is an excellent alternative. Regarding the SNES , Snes9x on Android, as in PC, I think the best emulator by far, but you can also try Super GNES. For Nintendo 64 , many prefer the emulator that started it all, N64oid, but just keep this in the store of Google, then yours is SuperN64.

    Following the review by emulators of consoles, GENPlusDroid seems to be the only halfway decent of the many emulators for Sega Genesis . In the section of the recreational , the two best options are NEO.emu and MAME4droid. As for the console that marked a before and after in the life of many, the original PlayStation , there are a myriad of applications that we can use, but we have left the best feeling are FPse , and more than mythical ePSXe emulator platform

    Knobs

    The choice of control is never an easy topic. If even you do not have one, you can check the list of commands for smartphones that I recently prepared sameness, all compatible with what we’re doing here. If you have root access to your phone, then it may be best to buy one specially designed for use with Android gadgets. On the other hand, if you already have the joystick the Playstation 3 or your Android has access Root , the latter will be the best choice by far.

    sony-xperia-dualshock-support
    It is precisely because we believe that the DualShock 3 is the best solution , we recommend making effort to set up and use one of these by using SixAxis Controller application (remember first use the app to check compatibility before buying). It may also interest you to know that many gadgets range Sony Xperia have native support with this command.

    On the other hand, if you already have Xbox 360 controls , either wired or inhalambricos with PC receiver and your Android supports USB OTG and has a Micro HDMI or HDMI port independent USB, then you can use these controls and configure USB / BT Joystick Center.

    Enjoy

    on TV

    Now you have everything

    able to emulate your favorite console games on your Android, and properly configured the remote to make the most of, missing the final, crucial part of this post, on how to view games dimensional screen a little more generous to allow us a tablet or smartphone.

    SlimPort-4821

    As you can guess from that you read the requirements section, the trick was essentially exploit the features of video output that is intended by the manufacturer. Unfortunately there are few who come with an HDMI or HDMI Micro dedicated which will always be the easiest and economic solution for the user .

    However, almost all of each brand flagships have video output via the micro USB port , where the vast majority as Sony, Samsung, HTC and LG use the MHL standard, while almost all of Google Nexus devices come with standard SlimPort. It is essential that when buying a micro USB to HDMI adapt you asegures it is SlimPort or MHL according your device , since these technologies are not interchangeable.

    Whether

    using direct HDMI connection, or through an adapter Micro USB to HDMI, should suffice all connections from the terminal to the HDMI input port of your TV to see in the latter everything that is happening on your Android device as a mirroring live.

    And that is, essentially, everything. When you turn your Android into a console can not only get many hours of fun, but make good use of an old friend who still has a bit more to give him.

    Bonus: Not everyone knows, but the Samsung Galaxy S Original also has an analog video output, it can be enjoyed by using RCA cable connected to the 3.5mm jack, for use with headphones. While this does not can enjoy high definition video, can perfectly serve the purposes of this tutorial, since the graphics power of that old smartphone is more than acceptable for what these emulators require.

    application

    ‘ll use Google maps and therefore the Google Maps API. By experience, I knew it was not as easy to configure everything to work, so this is the first step.

    The steps that we will continue to make things work correctly are:

    • download and configure the Google Play Services
    • Get an API key
    • Define the specifications in the Application Manifest
    • Add a map to the application.

    we go!


    Download and configure the Google Play Services

    This step is pretty simple. Once we have downloaded all the Android SDK, launch the SDK Manager to unburden one hand a version of the SDK or above Android 4.2.2 and on the other hand, the extra package Google Play Services.

    image This is because now the API is distributed as part of the Google Play Services, and therefore, we need to install them. Once you have downloaded, we can find it in the folder / extras / google / google_play_services /. The next step is to import this folder as a library.

    To do this, simply open Eclipse and click File -> Import -> Android -> Android Existing Code into Workspace and find the folder mentioned just above.

    image Seller, we reference it to our project. To do so, click the right mouse button on your project -> Properties -> Android and paragraph add our library Library.

    image In this way we have configured and installed the Google Play Services and we can move on to the next point.

    To access servers with Google Maps Google Maps API we need to add a API key in our application. This key will be associated exclusively to our app through Android using certificates and work or not accordingly. So, we need above all SHA-1 fingerprint of our application to request the API key. But one thing.


    Getting the SHA-1 fingerprint of our aplciaciĂłn

    It was a real quebradero

    , but thanks to the help of kix2902 discovered that all the information is in the Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Build

    image

    API

    Once we and our footprint SHA-1, we move to the next step:

    • Open the Google APIs console
    • create a new project with the name you want
    • Let

    • paragraph below Services and activate Android Google Maps API v2

    image paragraph

  • Now let Access API -> Create New Android Key
  • We introduce the trace

  • SHA-1 followed by the package name. My
  • just generate API key and already have at our disposal
  • image

    API Key to our application

    Now that we have the API Key, we have to add it to our application to make it work.

    1. In the AndroidManifest.xml add the following as a child block (just before the end )

    where api_key is the API Key.

    2. We add the following permissions

    android.permission.INTERNET

    • Used by the API for downloading maps from servers.

      android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

    • allows the API to check the connection status to see if you can download data.
    • com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES API enables access to Google services web based.
    • android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

    • API enables data stored in cache on the SD map.

    is also recommended to add the following if your application needs to access our position.

    • android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION API Allows use WiFi or mobile data (or both) to determine our location.

    • android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION API Allows use GPS to determine our location accurately.

    In summary, we have to add the following:

    android:name=”android.permission.INTERNET”/>

    android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE”/>


    Android Google Maps API v2, but are recommended. ->
    Android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION”/> android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION”/>

    Google Maps v2 uses OpenGL ES to render the maps. If you have not installed OpenGL ES v2, the map does not appear, and therefore is also recommended to add the following condition:

    With this we have configured our application.

    image spent and the last point: add a map. Once you have configured the Google Play Services, we have added the API Key and filled the AndroidManifest.xml, plays sting code.

    Add a map is very simple

    1. In the main.xml add the following snippet


    2. In this add MainActivity Side

    com.example.mapdemo package;

    android.app.Activity import, import
    android.os.Bundle;

    MainActivity public class extends Activity {

    @ Override protected void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate (savedInstanceState) setContentView
    (R.layout.main) ,

    }}

    3. And that's it, works flawlessly!

    image The next steps are going to be able to add points on the map and positions determined. Hopefully not too hard!

    Three launchers for Android you must try - ALT1040

    Today

    are emerging a series of very interesting Android launchers. Today we are going to talk about Aviate, Cover and Themer: three ways to completely change the interface and aesthetics of our device.

    Launchers for Android
    By Santi Araujo

    October 25, 2013, 12:30 am

    By now it is obvious to say that one of the best features of Google’s operating system is its customizability. In recent months are showing some interesting launchers for Android , which allows completely change the interface and the behavior of the device, completely renewing experience.

    I find it very interesting as are evolving these applications, which are no longer limited to offer more customization possibilities, but they come with a proposal very clear aesthetic and functional. In recent months there have been three proposals that stand out over the competition: Aviate, Cover and Themer.

    Aviate

    Aviate has aroused much excitement. Despite being still in beta, the truth is that it is a launcher that works perfectly . This launcher intends us to set different “spaces”: home, work, for the street … and that in them we have placed a number of widgets and applications. The interface is very minimalist, among other benefits, automatically organizes all your applications into categories (although you can edit).

    remember when that is in beta, so it can only get better. As personal request ask to edit the spaces (to create more, rename, etc..) And you can assign a different image to each. It would also be nice to assign certain patterns (time, location, etc..) To activate automatically every space. Anyway, I’m not surprised that these options are still under adding in future updates. Download it in the Play Store, but you will have to wait for the list to test progress.


    Cover

    Cover

    just appeared on the scene, in fact, by the time you need to sign up for the beta and then send the activation code. Remember a little to the proposal made by Aviate, but this time we focus on the lock screen . With this launcher can configure many patterns depending on the position of our smartphone, time, location, etc.. have quick access to certain applications.

    Sounds like a very good idea . In the promotional video you can see that the headphones are connected music applications, while if we turn the phone displays the camera mode, functions that will save us some time in our day to day. Best of all, it is a launcher for the lock screen, so internally we still use our favorite launcher.


    Themer

    this launcher and I talked earlier this month. Themer is MyColorScreen hand , the reference portal where users hang his aesthetic of Android. It caused such a stir that the waiting list to test the application I had only grow and grow, although at present and you can test it worldwide.

    seeking this launcher is simplify the customization process and to apply certain issues created by the community in a single click. It is a quick and convenient way to change appearance from time to time, but the downside is that now lacks many attractive interfaces. Anyway, coming from the hand of MyColorScreen, no wonder that over time a catalog offer interesting topics for your smartphone. You can download it for free at Play Store.

    Cover, customize your Android lock screen with your apps ... - Bitelia

    Today developing situational applications is still raging. The technology allowed for smartphones is surprising and not all applications know how to use it. A team of engineers trained in Facebook, Google and Yahoo! presents an interesting tool that allows us to customize most of the Android lock screen. Cover know exactly at what time of day we are and gives us a collection of shortcuts to applications they use on each of them.

    Cover app

    For example, suppose we are in business hours. In that case, we show applications Cover deemed necessary to develop ourselves in our work, such as Gmail, Google Calendar, and more. The shortcut icons will be present in the lock screen to be accessed easily.

    overnight Cover knows that we’re home, we will show appropriate applications such as Spotify, Netflix, and other entertainment applications. This can be configured by the user.

    Cover

    learn from our behavior so we can have the best experience possible. After a few days of use, the most used applications are ordered according to this analysis, all from the lock screen.

    Cover

    not the first application of its kind, but it is one of the first to offer a design that takes into account contextual our location and the time of day . The fundamental difference is that dynamic changes Cover ago of the applications offered on the lock screen, depending on the time of day in which we are. In addition, it also has a feature called Peek that lets us see the contents of an application without having to unlock the screen.

    Cover

    The idea is not to replace the desktop of users in a smartphone with Android, nor change our behavior when interacting with the terminal. What I want is to offer “the right applications at the right time” . Widgets are one of the most important differential values ??have Android, but the lock screen, so far, has been quite underrated in terms of development. Cover looking for this lack.

    Why Android and iOS? Many of the most important developments and popular applications are available only on iOS and sometimes, it takes a while to get to Android. Users of Google’s operating system must be content with cloned or similar applications, but which do not meet the same. Cover For creators, however, such an application would not be possible within iOS.

    According to some initial testings, Cover is not only a practical and cute to look at, but also not resource phone is easy to navigate and quick. In addition, it also has its finely tuned senses when identifying whether we are at home. The application takes me seven months to be developed and their inventors had to consider many issues in order to maintain team performance at an optimal level.

    However, Cover safety concern that always arise when talking about contextual applications: an application we know of our behavior and our location constantly? What happens to the data? According to the creators of Cover, all data is encrypted on the servers of the company, and also the user is not forced to leave your email address. If you leave, Cover can be synchronized across multiple devices.

    What is the future of this app? Cover plans to expand beyond the Android lock screen, to innovate in other areas of the operating system. Right now we can chalk up the waiting list to access Cover.

    One of the most interesting aspects of this application is accurate use of contextual data that can be obtained through our mobile. While some applications use it to, for example, enable and disable the WiFi or show the weather, Cover actually takes the Android lock screen to offer a different and personalized experience.
