Discord tests new ways to help you find good servers through Discover feature

-

Discord is a popular IM client for online gaming communities. The app and service allows users to create different servers for a dedicated umbrella topic, and then create different channels within the server for further topic bifurcation. Users can then talk to each other within these channels, and you can keep track of the expected conversation topics within the channel. Discord has been growing in popularity recently, adding in gaming-oriented features like displaying game activity to friends, and more. Now, the official Discord app on Android is testing out a new way to help users find interesting servers to join.

An APK teardown can often predict features that may arrive in a future update of an application, but it is possible that any of the features we mention here may not make it in a future release. This is because these features are currently unimplemented in the live build and may be pulled at any time by the developers in a future build.

Currently, on the Discord app, you can join other servers if you have an invite link to that server. You can also view mutual servers between you and a friend. With Discord v9.4.8, the service is testing the ability to view other servers that your friends are in but you aren’t already in. Further, you will also get server recommendations for you, which we are guessing originates from the games you have installed. On desktop, you can already find servers this way, but now this functionality is coming over to Android.

<string name="discover">Discover</string>
<string name="discover_communities">Discover - Find new communities on Discord</string>
<string name="discover_friend_servers">Servers your friends are in</string>
<string name="discover_recommended">Recommended for you</string>

Having more servers to interact in increases the time you spend within the app. This should help out Discord in increasing its popularity. If you’re looking to join, you can also join the official XDA-Developers.com server on Discord.

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
