Beta Maniac lets you manage enrolled app betas and notifies you for spots in closed betas

-

Google Play beta programs are amazing. Most of the time, they let you try out features ahead of their official release. And while they sometimes have their decent share of issues (there’s a reason why they’re a beta instead of a stable version), they’re often also good enough for daily usage for more experimentative users. Most app developers opt for testing on beta versions first before wider rollouts. Case in point, WhatsApp recently introduced dark mode to its Android app on the beta version. But often, getting into an app’s beta can also be difficult. Case in point again, WhatsApp, as its beta is currently closed to new applications since it’s full. If you end up getting annoyed when you’re unable to join a beta, β-Maniac might help you be less frequently annoyed.

Apps like β-Maniac (that reads as “beta-maniac”, for those of you who are not acquainted with the Greek alphabet) is an amazing app that serves as a hub for everything related to your Google Play betas. It gives you a list of all the apps you have installed which have them and gives you options for joining them. Want to enroll into one? Then you can do so right from this app. The beta is currently closed? No biggie, as the app will notify you whenever there is a new spot for you to join. Most of all, the app is free to use and has no ads for xda users, which serves as the icing to an already awesome application.

The app is available to download from our forums as an ad-free version, with developer XDA Developer Mirko ddd also making the app available on Google Play Store in an ad-supported version. Check it out now!

Keep in mind that the app requires you to sign in to your Google account through a WebView. This is because the same results cannot be achieved through Google Sign-In APIs, hence rendering them as a non-option.

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...
