Hi Dear Reader,

Good morning and this is another good day to start new blog post.

After long time i didn’t update my blog post, it is already few years but i still maintain this blog as oneday i return to update this blog which i created at 2009.

Today i will talk about the Google Android.

Google already launched te second and perhad the final version of its Android 8 which is Android 8.1 Oreo but it is beta version.

Android 8.1 (Developer preview 2) is available for Google Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 1, Pixel 1 XL, Pixel C, Nexus 5X and 6P.

Google will likely to release its final public version in December 2017.

What is the new features for this Android 8.1 (Developer Preview 2)?

This preview update includes near-final Android 8.1 system images for Pixel and Nexus devices, with official APIs (API level 27), the latest optimizations and bug fixes, and the November 2017 security patch updates. You can use the images for compatibility testing or to develop using new Android 8.1 features like the Neural Networks API and others.

The Neural Networks API provides accelerated computation and inference for on-device machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow Lite — Google’s cross-platform ML library for mobile — as well as Caffe2 and others. TensorFlow Lite is now available to developers, so visit the TensorFlow Lite open source repo for downloads and docs. TensorFlow Lite works with the Neural Networks API to run models like MobileNets, Inception v3, and Smart Reply efficiently on your mobile device.

Also, for Pixel 2 users, the Android 8.1 update on these devices enables Pixel Visual Core — Google’s first custom-designed co-processor for image processing and ML — through a new developer option. Once enabled, apps using Android Camera API can capture HDR+ shots through Pixel Visual Core.

But what i am feel interesting is Google is fix its hamburger emoji which was became debate issue at last month – it was happened when the cheese in Google’s burger emoji is under the burger. (Really it is necessary to become debate issue due to cheese put at the wrong place? just an emoji?)

Now under the new Android 8.1 release, The new Google burger emoji now already fixed and matches with others where the cheese sits on top.

Google also has other emoji tweaks, including a filled beer stein for the beer and beers emojis (before was half full), and a tweak to the cheese emoji (so the holes no longer look painted on).

I also heard some rumor that there’s still some debate over where the lettuce goes? (Really a issue?)

My two cents:-
1) If you are intesting and want to trial out this Android 8.1 Beta, You can download and try this android 8.1 right away by siggning up for Google’s Beta Program but PLEASE take note it is beta verison,
so you should expected some bugs.

2) Emoji now become a sensation which everyone is interesting. (No wonder there was Emoji movie).

Kebelakang ini, SONY telah janji akan bagi update android lollipop 5.0 untuk semua Sony Z series.
Pengumuman ini telah diumumkan sejah awal January 2015 tetapi masih belum nampak ada update dalam February dan March.

Akhirnya suatu hari dalam April-14/04/2015. Saya pun dapat notis daripada Sony Z Ultra, adanya latest software boleh download.
Saiz download lebih 600MB. Ini Kali lah. Lollipop 5.0.2 akhirnya sampai!!

Lollipop update memerlukan masa lebih kurnag 20 min termasuk sownload package dengan install.

Selepas update, saya pun try android baru ni. Saya pun first time untuk try lollipop. Android yang perlu saya try pun setakat Kitkat 4.4.4 sahaja.

First try, saya amat suka dengan interface yang baru terutamanya interface yang nampak sikit seperti Apple interface.

Saya pun try guna Antutu Benchmark untuk test beza antara kitkat 4.4.4 dengan lollipop 5.0.2. Tapi nampaknya tiada jauh beza antara kitkat dengan lollipop.

Tapi apa yang menarik adalah screencast app yang memerlukan Andoid 5.0.2 seperti AZ Screen Recorder dapat guna melalu Android Lollipop.

Apa yang menarik, AZ Screen Recorder tak payah root android. Ini adalah suatu perkara yang amat baik kepada saya. Sebab saya memang sudah lama untuk cari

Screencast App yang betul-betul boldh guna. Sebelum tu, saya pakai Screencast app tapi memerlukan Android phone “root”. Lagipun selepas root android phone saya, screencast

yang saya pakai pun banyak masalah. Tapi dengan lollipop 5.0.2 dan AZ Screen Recorder, semua masalah telah ditangani. 5 stars saya bagi lollipop untuk perkara ini.

Lollipop pun jarang “hang” berbanding dengan kitkat yang saya pakai selama ni. So saya boleh cakap lollipop memang jauh lebih baik berbanding dengan Kitkat.

Jika you mempunyai Sony Xperia Z series seperti Z3,Z2,Z1, Z Utra, Z1 mini.. Anda sudah boleh update lollipop.

Untuk update Sony Xperia Z series dari Kitkat ke Lollipop, ikut langkah berikut:-

Pergi Settings -> About Phone -> Software update dan click kan software update. Lepas tu biar Sony Xperia download and install sacara automatik.

Lepas 20++ min, Phone akan restart/reboot sendiri and you pun dapat Lollipop 5.0.2.
