The first beta of Paranoid Android 4.6 has been made available for download and it includes a feature the team has been working on for some time.
Dynamic System Bars (DSB) allows the status and navigation bars to match the action bar color in apps. If you've ever used the Tinted Status bar mod for Xposed, this is a similar idea. The developers are careful to point out this feature is still in need of tweaking. There are some performance issues when DSB is enabled, which can cause unwanted battery drain. However, the feature is stable enough that it's ready for a beta build at least. Also included in 4.6 Beta 1 is support for a swipe up gesture to dismiss Hover notifications and optimizations in the Hammerhead kernel. 8 things you need to know about Android L. Xiaomi Mi3S Bares All in Alleged Leaked Images. It seems that the opportune moment has come for Xiaomi to put the successful Mi3 through an upgrade cycle.
We see this trend with other manufacturers wherein they release upgrades to their flagship devices every year. Quite a few rumors and leaks have popped up in regards to the Xiaomi Mi3S, however we have yet to see any leaked image which shows off the complete device – until now that is. In the recent leak coming over from China via Weibo, we have in our possession three images pertaining to the upcoming flagship. One of these is an older image which we saw earlier this week. This particular image had given insights into the Mi3S coming up with 3 GB of RAM and Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat. The latest images – though of a very low quality – do manage to show off the design philosophy of the device. If these rumors are correct, and do take them with a pinch of salt, the Mi3S could well be another fantastic device. Home » Xiaomi Mi3S Bares All in Alleged Leaked Images.

Future Android security apps will learn from your phone to catch out the bad guys. Malicious software might not be as huge of a problem as some reports would like you to believe, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t take the time to protect our smartphones from potential attacks.
Fortunately, Zimperium, a new mobile security startup, seems to be taking mobile security seriously and is showing other developers the way forward. Its new Android app, named zIPS or Zimperium intrusion prevention system, aims to keep Android devices secure by learning how they typically operate and identifying when something strange is happening. This kind of technique has been used to spot malware on PCs for quite a while, but implementing a similar system on Android is more difficult, as we’re constantly connecting to new networks and regularly installing and updating our software.
The bad news is that Zimperium is currently only offering its software to business clients, although the company expects to roll out a consumer version at some point in the future. How to fix screen burn-in on your Android smartphone. Ghost image or screen/image burn-in are names given to a permanent discoloration of your smartphone’s screen caused by irregular pixel usage.

According to the rumor, Cortana will also show up on the Xbox and inside Windows computers over the coming years, plus it could be added to the Bing app for the iPhone too.

HTC Netherlands Confirms One X+ Is Not Due for Android 4.4 KitKat Update. They say no news is good news, but plenty of otherwise verifiable proverbs and axioms are overturned in the mobile tech décor, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise silence is more often than not ominous in terms of Android updates.
Take HTC’s One X+, the confusingly named big brother of the One X. Or the underwhelming little brother of the HTC One. Since it was never immensely popular and its makers are known for providing shoddy (and we’re being kind) software support, an Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade always seemed like a long shot. Still, as the 4.7-incher celebrated its one-year birthday a measly two months back, the phone’s unfortunate owners couldn’t help but hope. And wait. HTC vows no further support for the One X+ HTC is noting they will not be supporting the One X+ any longer. Via Twitter, the Taiwanese OEM tells one customer that the One X+ will not receive any further updates, though their wording was a bit misleading.
