Twitter for mobile is getting a true black night mode

-

Twitter is imperfect in a lot of ways and CEO Jack Dorsey accepts the platform’s and his own inadequacies. The executive has been making several promises to fix many feature broken features on Twitter – other than the lack of an edit button. For starters, Twitter is fixing the Night Mode which has always felt weird because of its dark blue shade. Starting today, Twitter is rolling out a truer night mode called “Lights out” for iOS users.

Since a lot of people love the dark blue color, Twitter is not doing away with it but actually adding a Lights out feature as part of the existing night mode. On iOS, the feature can be switched on by opening the side drawer and hitting the lightbulb icon at the bottom. Meanwhile, those using tweeting on their Android smartphones or via the web will still have to be satisfied with the dark blue color.

Since Apple switched to AMOLED displays with the iPhone X, the feature could especially be liked by those who use an iPhone X or XS – not the XR which still uses an LCD. At the same time, the black color will also camouflage the notch on the iPhone X. Not only that, the dark mode should also be kind on your eyes as well as the battery of the iPhones.

True black night mode coming to Twitter for Android soon

Even though the color on the Android app seems to have gotten darker over the last year, it is not quite there yet. Twitter has told Engadget that the night mode will be coming to the Twitter app on Android as well as to the web version “soon“. There is, however, no clarity as to when the feature will exactly be available.

We also hope that Android Q’s system-wide dark mode can override Twitter’s night mode in case the social media company gets distracted by any other controversy or debate on privacy.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
