Kiwi Browser adds text reflow support, Translator settings, external download manager support, and more

-

Kiwi Browser by XDA Senior Member arnaud42 has been the browser of choice for many for a long time now. With extension support, a reachability button, an AMOLED friendly dark mode and lots more, it’s really no wonder why it’s exploded in popularity since its release last year. arnaud42 isn’t done adding features to Kiwi Browser either, as the latest version now available on the Google Play Store has added text reflow support, translator settings, external download manager support and more. You can read the full changelog below.

  • This version supports text rewrap / reflow (adapt text based on zoom level).
    • Interface and animations are really improved
    • Better performance (new GPU driver and 64-bits engine!)
  • New settings:
    • Google Translate, Yandex and Baidu (Settings, Translator)
    • Possibility to add exceptions / whitelist in content filter
    • Support for external download managers
    • Show extensions first
    • Protect incognito windows

While there are loads of new features and improvements to Kiwi Browser, one particular improvement that may get overlooked is the introduction of a new GPU driver and a 64-bit rendering engine. That should result in faster page load times along with smoother performance all around – something that many may have already known Kiwi Browser for. Having used it, it definitely presents a noticeable improvement over Google Chrome in some aspects.

However, there still are a number of new features in Kiwi Browser worth talking about. Text reflow is one of my favorites, as it means that zooming in on a webpage will make the text get bigger and wrap to suit your screen. External download manager support is great too, as it will allow you to download files from the internet using something like Advanced Download Manager. You can also whitelist websites to show advertisements so that you can support the websites that you may most frequent.

The update is available now and you can download Kiwi Browser either from XDA Labs or the Google Play Store. You can also check out the XDA forum thread for more information as well.

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

-

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
